+'''Ropes''',<ref>''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' instruction booklet, page 22.</ref><ref>The ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' Player's Guide, pages 20 and 87.</ref> also known as '''phantom ropes'''<ref>"''If you’re unsure about grabbing a phantom rope, wait a few seconds to watch its pattern and gauge how much you’d have.''" – ''Nintendo Power'' Volume 79, page 26.</ref> and '''ghost ropes''',<ref>''Nintendo Magazine System'' (Australia) issue 49 (April 1997), page 50.</ref> are long vine apparitions that appear in [[Gloomy Gulch]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and its pseudo-sequel, ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. While ghostly ropes act as normal [[rope]]s, their main discerning is their ability to vanish and reappear every few seconds. In ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', ropes make their first and only appearance in [[Ghostly Grove (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Ghostly Grove]]. They also appear in the [[Ghostly Grove (Donkey Kong Land 2)|level counterpart]] of ''Donkey Kong Land 2'' and at the very start of its [[Web Woods (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Web Woods counterpart]].
-'''Ghost Ropes''' are long, [[rope]]-like ghosts encountered in the game ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and it's pseudo-sequel ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''.
-In ''Donkey Kong Country 2'' and ''Donkey Kong Land 2'', Ghost Ropes are first encountered in the level, [[Ghostly Grove]], which is the first level in the area, [[Gloomy Gulch]]. Here Ghost Ropes appear and constantly disappear. [[Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong]] must use Ghost Ropes like normal ropes to cross Ghostly Grove's various large abysses. If the Ghost Rope Diddy and Dixie are currently on disappears they will fall, so they must hop from Ghost Rope to Ghost Rope quickly. As the level progresses, Ghost Ropes appear and disappear even faster. Ghost Ropes later appear for a second time in the level, [[Web Woods]], but only in ''Donkey Kong Land 2''. However, they are seen only in the very beginning of the level, and never in any other area.
+In both games, [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong]] must utilize ghostly ropes as normal ropes, specifically to safely cross over pitfalls or reach higher areas. They must often hop between ropes since they momentarily vanish. When a rope is about to vanish, it flashes as an indicator for the [[Kong]]s to get off; otherwise, they lose grip and fall down. In ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', the ropes only blink their eyes before vanishing, but in ''Donkey Kong Land 2'', their entire bodies blink instead. Some ropes vanish and reappear at a quicker rate, which is especially evident when Diddy and Dixie must use two of them to reach a [[Bonus Barrel]].
-==See Also==
+In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'', there are similar obstacles named [[Boo Barrel]]s, which also have a cycle of vanishing momentarily.
-*[[Ghost Barrel]]s - Barrels that also appear and disappear in ''Donkey Kong Country 2's'' sequel, ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble]]''.
