The level begins with a straight pathway leading through a strange tree trunk. A red, metal gate stands in the Kongs' way here, but they can break through it with a roll or cartwheel move. Two walls that occasionally fall downwards, possibly smashing the Kongs, are placed after a nearby Hopgoon. The heroes must travel under them when they rise again to access an area with the first [[DK Barrel]] and another Hopgoon next to it. There are some bouncy spider eggs piled up nearby. Donkey and Diddy can bounce on them to reach a passage between two wooden walls. Two cork-like objects block their path here, and once they get rid of the first one, the spiders in the previous spider eggs hatch and begin to chase the group. The Kongs must hurry ahead to avoid defeat.

A set of five platforms are ahead, with one platform in the middle and four others around it. Three Skittlers are ahead that try to hit the primates as they travel under them. Small platforms that are surrounded by many spikes are nearby in an area with an [[Extra Life Balloon]] floating in it. Above the last set of spikes here is a fungus-like platform with [[banana]]s and a [[Banana|Banana Bunch]] on it, which is followed by a passage with a few falling walls. They Kongs must pass them before them fall or after they rise from their fall. A Skittler impends in the Kongs' progress between the first two falling walls. Three platforms placed above and beside the small gap are after the third of the tumbling pillars. The one in the middle directly above the gap has a trail of bananas and the letter K of the [[K-O-N-G Letters]] above it. Using another mushroom-like platform, the Kongs can access a bigger area with a set of four more mushroom-like platforms that have Skittlers on them. Another red, metal gate stands in the Kongs' way nearby, but they can break it with a roll or cartwheel attack.

Two more mushroom platforms are placed nearby, and a solid platform with spikes floats between them. A green, grassy turf that the heroes can climb on is above the spikes, and under the platform supporting them is a wide abyss with a [[Puzzle Piece (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Puzzle Piece]]. An area with bananas and a DK Barrel are nearby. Donkey and Diddy soon come up to a section with moving walls that stand in their way. The walls have gaps in them so they can travel through them. There is a long area full of these walls, with only a small gap after the first two walls and a Hopgoon farther ahead. If the heroes manage to pass through all of the walls, they come into a section with some climbable turf on the ceiling. They can reach the turf by bouncing on some spider eggs nearby, which soon hatch as the new spiders come by. The heroes can also reach the turf by bouncing on a mushroom that is placed directly under the letter O high in the air. A long section of spikes is located after the bouncy spider eggs here, so the Kongs must use the grassy turf above to climb over it. When they reach the end of the turf, they are able to drop down onto a safe platform with nothing on it but a single Skittler. More bouncy spider eggs follow a nearby gap. A wall stands in front of the eggs, but it opens to create a small passage for the primates. However, just as the following wall, it closes again after a few seconds. Once the Kongs pass these two walls, they reach a similar pillar-like wall with a large space in it. They can travel under the pillar when it rises or go through the space in it as it falls. The letter N is in the space.

The duo can find more bouncy spider eggs ahead. With the eggs, they can bounce onto a high platform with a Skittler near it. Two empty platforms are placed next to the spider enemy, followed by a mushroom on the solid ground that can be used as a spring to reach another high area. On the other side of this thin, raised platform is a small gap and a path leading to an area with two Frogoons hopping around a platform. Spikes are placed under the enemies. A pathway leading to a small area full of mushroom-like platforms is ahead. Here, the mushrooms form a curvy path back and fourth. In the center of this area is a red, metal gate that the Kongs must smash through. A pathway is below it as well that is hidden by some leaves. When the duo crosses this section of mushrooms, they come up to some Skittlers and a set of four tumbling pillars that rise after a few seconds. Once they pass the pillars, they reach bouncy spiders eggs that can aid them in access an [[Auto Fire Barrel]] high in the air. The barrel blasts them into a new part of the level, where the [[Tutorial Pig]] stands at the checkpoint on a solid platform.

The barrel blasts them into a new part of the level, where the [[Tutorial Pig]] stands at the checkpoint on a solid platform.


A bouncy pile of spider eggs sit in an abyss nearby, and an Auto Fire Barrel is placed above. When the Kongs get in the barrel, spiders begin to chase them up the area, which they must climb by using more Auto Fire Barrels. The barrels do not shoot them directly into the following cannons, rather they blast them into the air, where they must move to the side to land in the next barrel. As the heroes travel up the area, they come up to the letter G, and later, a Barrel Cannon. The cannon can shoot them into the [[Slot Machine Barrel]] found above; hitting this barrel completes the level.
