The [[Game Boy Color]] and [[Game Boy Advance]] versions of this level both take place during mid-day instead of sunset/dusk, and the sky never changes. This was likely done due to technical limitations or so that players could navigate through the level without losing visibility (the Game Boy Color and original GBA had no backlight to make the screen brighter). | The [[Game Boy Color]] and [[Game Boy Advance]] versions of this level both take place during mid-day instead of sunset/dusk, and the sky never changes.

The level starts when [[Donkey Kong]] shoots out of his [[DK's Tree House|tree house]] and then lands onto the ground. If Donkey Kong enters his [[banana hoard|banana cave]], he finds it empty, while if he enters his tree house found higher up, he can nab a [[Red Balloon|Life Balloon]] to gain an extra life along the way. Donkey Kong must continue a few steps to encounter a [[Gnawty]] and Diddy Kong stuck in a DK Barrel. Alternatively, from the treehouse's entrance, the Kongs have the option to hop from several treetops and collect two Life Balloons and one [[Green Balloon|2-Up Balloon]]. There is also a [[Iron Barrel|steel keg]] that the Kongs can optionally ride; by jumping from the treetops and then down a gap with a group of bananas forming a down arrow, Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong land on a ground patch, which breaks open to reveal a steel keg. By throwing it at DK's Tree House on the left, the steel keg ricochets and rolls in the Kongs' direction. They must jump on the steel keg, which they can ride until it falls into a gap shortly after the Rambi Crate. After the aforementioned 2-Up Balloon, the Kongs must continue along to a raised piece of land with a Kritter on it and a Gnawty underneath it so they can obtain the letter K of the [[KONG Letters|K-O-N-G Letters]]. Afterwards, the Kongs encounter two Kritters on two raised pieces of land and two [[Klump]]s, whom they must defeat to continue along so they can reach the [[Star Barrel|Continue Barrel]] and the letter O next to it. | The level starts when [[Donkey Kong]] shoots out of his [[DK's Tree House|tree house]] and then lands onto the ground.
