'''Shoal Atoll''' is the second hidden 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]].

 

As a labyrinth, the layout of the level is composed of numerous paths and passages. The Kongs begin on a long patch of dry land, and would have to pass by several [[Tucks]] to reach a wooden footbridge. The bridge is unstable and will fall off as soon as the Kongs step on it, dropping them into the water. Going through a nearby opening in a rocky wall, the Kongs enter a wide corridor patrolled by [[Blue Finley]]s and containing a red chest, the first one in the level to be opened. Strong currents prevent the Kongs from entering the ceiling and bottom entrances, but as they head east, they will encounter two crossing ways. They should enter the passage at the top and find an area with an [[Bubble|air bubble]] supplier, a spinning [[DK Barrel|Buddy Barrel]], and a single [[Yellow Snaggles]], which chases the protagonists through the water, threatening to bite and damage them. Up and past the Yellow Snaggles is another passage leading into a room with a red key. The Kongs should collect it and go through the bottom passage, which leads them back to the wide corridor, now populated with two [[Gordo]]s beside the Blue Finleys. With the key in their hands, the Kongs should head to the red chest and open it, thus revealing a green key.

The Kongs enter a tunnel with three [[Mama Saw]]s. An air bubble supplier lies on the floor at the beginning of the tunnel. Three groups of bananas reeling like a vortex are accordingly located under three large stone lids on the ceiling. Collecting all the bananas in one reel will open the above lid. The first one uncovers several bananas and a [[Heart (item)|heart]], the second one dispatches a group of [[proximity mine]]s, and the third one opens up a passage, which leads into a short tunnel containing only a bubble supplier and a string of bananas. Going down the tunnel, the Kongs will exit into narrow shaft going straight down and infested with [[Pufftup]]s. With repeated [[Corkscrew (Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze)|corkscrew]] moves, they should be able to swim against the opposing water currents and reach the blue chest on the bottom, which contains a yellow key. They can exit the area by going back up and into the passage on the top left.
