This level takes place on a damp river bank, where the vegetation appears to be much shorter than it was in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble]]'s'' riverbank areas, as it mostly consists of small conifers, mushrooms and lichen. To complete the level, [[Dixie Kong]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] have to swim through narrow underwater tunnels, but as the name suggests, the river is full of [[Koco]]s. These clownfishes can sometimes be hard to avoid, as there is little space to do so. [[Sneek]]s and [[Knik-Knak]]s can be found outside of water, on the banks. In the second half of the level, the [[Kong]]s find [[Squitter the Spider|Squitter]] in a [[Animal Barrel]]. Like most insects and arachnids, Squitter cannot swim, therefore the friendly spider has to create web platforms to cross the river. Squitter's webs also prove very useful to defeat the aggressive [[Krimp]]s.

At the beginning of the level, the heroes need to jump into the river and swim through a narrow passage. At the end of the long passage, they have to jump out of the water and head east across the wet land. Grabbing the letter O and defeating a few Sneeks, they must travel across the strait path until they find a deeper part of the river. Jumping into it, they swim through another small passage under a thick land mass. At the end of the underwater pathway, they find the [[Star Barrel]]. At this point, they head out of the water and then into a barrel to shoot to a high-up area. Crossing the area, they fall down from a ledge to land in an [[Animal Barrel]]. This turns them into Squitter, who must then cross a small gap. Near the end of this enemy-infested pathway, the spider finds a [[No Animal Sign]], which turns him back into the Kongs. After that is done, the heroes have to continue down the path and swim through a rather deep path of the river, avoiding Kocos. At the end of the river, they hop out of the water an climb up a few ledges to find a flagpole. Touching this flagpole ends the level.

===DK Coin===
*Right after the letter K, the heroes find a Knik-Knak floating in the air. They need to bounce on the foe and make their way airborne onto a high ledge. There, they find a [[Steel Barrel|steel keg]], which they must carry over to a [[Koin]] found nearby. The Koin, with the [[DK Coin]], is able to protect himself from most attacks, but the monkeys can throw the keg at a wall while standing on him, making the barrel bounce back and hit him. This will defeat the foe, thus giving the Kongs the DK Coin.
