'''Amiss Abyss''' is the third level of [[Sea Breeze Cove]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' and its Nintendo Switch [[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Nintendo Switch)|port of the same name]]. It is the second level in the game with silhouetted visuals, though only during the underwater portions, and is the only level in the game with underwater silhouettes.


'''Amiss Abyss''' is the third level of [[Sea Breeze Cove]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]''. It is the second level in the game with silhouetted visuals (albeit only during the underwater portions), and the only one that takes place underwater.
In [[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze#Time Attack|Time Attack]] mode, a time of 2:10.00 is required to get a gold medal, a time of 2:14.00 for silver, and a time of 2:46.00 for bronze.

The level begins in a cave, though the visuals appear the same as usual. From there, the Kongs can dive into the water below, where the level begins to shift to its silhouetted visual style. While underwater, if the Kongs perform a [[Corkscrew (Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze)|Corkscrew]] into a school of fish, they will scatter and emit light for a short period of time, causing nearby [[Electrified Anemone|sea anemones]] to retract themselves. As the Kongs swim through the level, they must use the Corkscrew to break through wooden barriers while avoiding [[jellyfish]]. They will then reach what appears to be a dead end; however, if the Kongs scatter the nearby school of bioluminescent fish, it will awaken a giant catfish in the background that breaks down the wall to the right, opening a way through.

In the next area, the Kongs will encounter multiple [[Pufftup]]s en route to the first checkpoint. The Kongs will then emerge from the water into a small shelter, where a [[DK Barrel|DD Barrel]] and two [[Tucks]] can be found. After making their way through, the Kongs will leap off a trampoline back into the water. Jellyfish and anemones are now more abundant, including multiple jellyfish that swim in a circular formation around a wall of spikes. Eventually, the Kongs will come across an object resembling a signpost. If they perform a Corkscrew on it in the direction the arrow is pointing, a statue in the background will glow, activating a gate for them to pass through. After following several bioluminescent jellyfish past the gate, the Kongs will find two more gates and eventually a [[Barrel Cannon]] that blasts them out of the water and into a cave.

*The shading on the Kongs is less smooth than normal while they are in the second Bonus Stage of this level. This rough shading is probably carried over from the rest of the level as a visual bug; in the main level, this effect appears on the surrounding environment and characters whenever an area is floodlit by fish.
*The level applies a highly-contrastive shading effect on the surrounding environment and characters whenever an area is floodlit by fish. This effect is carried over to the second bonus room, where the shading on the Kongs appears more prominent than usual.
*An [[Easter egg]] can be found in this level (though the player must have more than one heart remaining to see it): if the player passes the first signpost and giant illuminating statue, reaches the end of the trench and heads back towards the statue through the anemone (taking a hit in the process), a [[Metroid (species)|Metroid]] can be seen floating upward in the background.<ref>[https://twitter.com/ShaneMarchis/status/1025138749749919744 Tweet by Shane Marchis]</ref><ref>GameXplain.
