'''Roller Coasters'''<ref>''Donkey Kong Land 2'' [[Nintendo 3DS]] [[Virtual Console]] electronic manual. Tab 9: "Progressing Through Stages".</ref> are large carts shaped as a skull head, with large red or light-green gems in their eye sockets. They appear in two games: ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. Roller Coasters can be considered the successors of the [[Mine Cart]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. [[Klank]]s ride these vehicles in some of the amusement park stages.


Roller Coasters first appear in the level "[[Target Terror (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Target Terror]]" in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''. Here, [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]] have to jump from vehicle to vehicle as they advance through the level, which takes place on a coaster track. Roller Coasters also appear in the levels "[[Rickety Race (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Rickety Race]]" and "[[Haunted Hall]]". In "Rickety Race", the Kongs have to defeat several [[Klank|Roller Coaster-riding Kremlings]], while in "Haunted Hall", the Kongs have to escape from [[Kackle|levitating skeletal Kremling ghosts]].
==History==
===''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''===
Roller Coasters appear in three levels of ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''. In [[Target Terror (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Target Terror]], [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] have to frequently hop between Roller Coasters before it falls into a [[pit]]. Roller Coasters also appear in [[Rickety Race (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Rickety Race]], where the [[Kong]]s must race and defeat several Klanks. Roller Coasters make their last appearance is in [[Haunted Hall]], where the Kongs ride on a Roller Coaster during a pursuit from the [[Kackle]]s.


In ''Donkey Kong Land 2'', Roller Coasters are once again used by the [[Kong]]s and [[Kremling]]s in the amusement rides of [[Target Terror (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Target Terror]], [[Rickety Race (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Rickety Race]], and [[Krazy Koaster]].
===''Donkey Kong Land 2''===
Roller Coasters retain their purpose in ''Donkey Kong Land 2'', and also appear in three levels. Their first two appearances are in the level counterparts, [[Target Terror (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Target Terror]] and [[Rickety Race (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Rickety Race]]. Their third and final appearance is in [[Krazy Koaster]], where the Kongs use a Roller Coaster to race to the end.


In ''Donkey Kong 64'', Roller Coasters are only found in [[Donkey Kong]]'s [[Minecart Race]], which is located in the area [[Creepy Castle]]. In this game, they cannot be ridden. These distinct Roller Coasters carry [[TNT Barrel]]s; if they hit Donkey Kong, they will explode, making Donkey Kong lose three coins.
