Arakawa. ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' Player's Guide. Page 19.</ref> is an object found in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. One is found at the end of every non-boss level, hence the name, and they switch between a few prizes, one of which the Kongs can possibly acquire. The End of Level Targets were replaced with [[Level Flag]]s in both ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''.

It works very similarly to a {{wp|High striker|strength tester}} game. If the Kongs land on the target from a high enough position, the attached lever causes the [[barrel]] to rise to the top of the pole. This gives them one of several roulette-style scrolling prizes, including: a [[Red Balloon]], [[KONG Letters|the letter G]], a [[Banana Coin]], a [[Banana Bunch]], a [[banana]], or sometimes even one of [[DK Coin|Cranky's Video Game Hero Coin]]s. The Video Game Hero Coin of [[Web Woods (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Web Woods]], in particular, flashes by faster than the other prizes.

In ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', the End of Level Target is a trampoline-like object, also called the '''Goal Target''',<ref>''Donkey Kong Land 2'' Nintendo 3DS [[Virtual Console]] electronic manual. Tab 9: "Progressing Through Stages".</ref> which does not yield a prize. When the active Kong jumps on the target, it bounces them out of the level.
