==Overview==

[[File:DKCR Crumble Canyon 2.png|thumb|left|250px|The Kongs ride on a tipping platform.]]

The level begins with a straight pathway towards a [[Barrel Cannon]]. As the Kongs travel to the barrel, coming across many Skullyrexes, Skellirexes, and Tiki Buzzes on the way, pieces of the ground break off and fall. A normal [[barrel]] is also located near the Barrel Cannon next to a platform that permanently tilts down when the Kongs stand on it. When they reach the cannon, they are shot to a section of land with a cactus containing an item and a large piece of rock that falls when stood on. As this large stone falls, it tilts over a large abyss that the primates cannot cross easily without the object. The rock platform sends them down to another platform that falls when they stand on it, and it is followed by three similar platforms. The four platforms must be used to help the Kongs easily cross wide abysses, as they pull them over the gaps as they fall. The last of these platforms takes them to a slanted pathway with the letter K of the [[K-O-N-G Letters]] at the bottom of it.

If they Kongs continue from here, they must travel downwards to a Barrel Cannon in a lower area. Crumbling platforms can help them safely reach this barrel without falling into an abyss, although some of them are covered in Skellirexes. When the primates enter the Barrel Cannon, it blasts them into the foreground onto a slanted platform. They can slide down it to reach a lone barrel next to a bridge stretching over a wide gap covered in Skullyrexes. After the bridge are a few strange, blue plants that give items when blown on and a Barrel Cannon. The cannon shoots the Kongs into the background onto another slanted pathway. As they slide, they hit into rib bones that fall off into the abyss below. Another slanted platform just like this is ahead, followed by a smaller, more flat platform that tumbles when landed on. A Skellirex is on it. They should quickly jump off of this falling platform and head towards a platform that is slanted in an upward position. They can climb up it to reach another Barrel Cannon that blasts them onto a fragile platform in the foreground that crumbles when landed on. They must get off of this platform fast so they do not fall, and then jump to a nearby platform. This platform is very long and steep. The Kongs must slide down the angled pathway on it, coming across many [[banana]]s on the way. At the end of the area is a Barrel Cannon that can shoot the Kongs back into the background, where there is a another bridge covered in Skullyrexes and a single Skellirex after a cactus. On the other side of this wooden bridge are a few strange, blue plants that reveal items when blown on and another checkpoint, where the Tutorial Pig waits.

|At the start, the Kongs should turn back and blow on a blue plant hidden behind a wooden wall. It reveals a Puzzle Piece when this is done.

|-

|After getting launched by the first [[Barrel Cannon]], the Kongs should go back and destroy a [[Item Container#Donkey Kong Country Returns / 3D|cactus]] to find the second Puzzle Piece.

|-

|Soon after the first [[DK Barrel]], the Puzzle Piece can be found behind some boards above a teetering platform with a Skellirex on it.

|When the Kongs are launched to the foreground by the Barrel Cannon after the first checkpoint, they need go to the left up a rocky hill to reach a hidden Barrel Cannon that shoots them into a hole in a rock located in the background. Inside the hole is a [[Bonus Level]], where Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong must collect 44 bananas and four Banana Coins above a moving trampoline. If they collect everything within thirty seconds, they earn a Puzzle Piece.

|While the primates are running away from the big, round boulder, they should see a giant dinosaur skull. They need jump into the mouth part of the skull to collect the hidden Puzzle Piece.

|Near the fifth Puzzle Piece is a little blue plant. When one of the Kongs blow on it, a Puzzle Piece comes out.

|-

|Shortly after the letter N in the tunnel area, the Kongs can see some boards, and behind them is a Puzzle Piece. They can only reach the item if they jump off from the wooden boards below it.

|-

|Immediately before the letter G, the eighth Puzzle Piece can be found between two wooden walls.

|-

|In the final area, where the Slot Machine Barrel is located, the Kongs should fall down into the tar, where the ninth and final Puzzle Piece can be found under the platform supporting the Slot Machine Barrel.
