'''Prehistoric Path''' is the thirty-ninth level in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]'' | '''Prehistoric Path''' is the thirty-ninth level in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]'' and the second level in the [[Cliff]] world. | ||
This level takes place on a high mountain, where [[Donkey Kong|Donkey]] and [[Diddy Kong]] must ride a [[Mine Cart|minecart]] over many falling rock platforms through much of the stage. The area around them is constantly changing, with platforms moving or falling and dinosaur skeleton-like enemies known as [[Bonehead Jed]]s heading near them. A sticky substance is also under some parts of the track, causing the pathway to sink down with their weight, only to rise back up when they jump. Additionally, spikes are placed in tight spaces where the primates must crouch down into the cart to avoid them. While most of the level takes place in a minecart, the beginning takes place on land, where the Kongs still have to travel along sinking platforms over a sticky, tar-like goop. Near the end, an egg breaks apart from the wall, and the Kongs have to ride on top of it and later inside of it, while avoiding the enemies and bones protruding from the ground. | This level takes place on a high mountain, where [[Donkey Kong|Donkey]] and [[Diddy Kong]] must ride a [[Mine Cart|minecart]] over many falling rock platforms through much of the stage.

The Kongs begin the level near a cactus and a bridge. This bridge helps them avoid the tar pit below. There wooden platforms are ahead of this in the tar, causing them to sink with any of the Kongs' weight. The wooden platform in the center of the area is longer than the other two, holding two [[Skellirex]]es and some [[banana]]s. After the three wooden platforms is a [[Barrel Cannon]] that shoots the Kongs into a minecart on a nearby track. After the Kongs head down a ramp covered in bananas, they fly over a pit of tar onto a new track that is situated on a platform that sinks into the tar as they ride on it; only jumping can make the platform rise. In this area, the Kongs travel across a long platform and then come up to a few broken parts of the track. They must jump over the gaps, grabbing the letter K | The Kongs begin the level near a cactus and a bridge. This bridge helps them avoid the tar pit below.

In this area, the Kongs travel across a long platform and then come up to a few broken parts of the track. They must jump over the gaps, grabbing the letter K along the way, to reach a long path with a floating platform above it. On the floating platform are many spikes that the Kongs have to crouch under. If they manage to dodge the spikes and head onto the following stone platform, they reach a group of three Bonehead Jeds. The platform ahead of this one is positioned on another sinking set of platforms. Spikes hang under floating objects that hold dinosaur eggs. They must be crouched under to avoid. Between two of these spiked-covered ceilings is a Bonehead Jed and a sinking pathway leading to the letter O. | ||
Above the track leading to the letter is another that leads to a gap with a [[Tiki Buzz]] hovering above it. The Kongs must use this enemy to bounce over the tar under it and access a track that curves upwards under an object with spikes under it. After the heroes pass this by crouching, they come up to another gap full of tar that must be crossed by bouncing on Tiki Buzzes and a [[Tiki Tork]]. Between three Tiki Buzzes and a Tiki Tork here is a stone structure that the Kongs must bounce over as well. Once the primates bounce off of the Tiki Tork, they land on a slanted platform that has just fallen off of a solid platform. This solid platform piece tilts at an angle when the Kongs ride on it, causing it to bump into a rock wall in their way. The rock wall then falls on top of the tar, creating a new path for them to travel on and reach the next gap, which must be crossed by using a hovering Tiki Tork. When they land on the platform after the abyss, it breaks in half. If the primates manage to reach the second half of the broken platform before sinking into the tar, they are taken to a flat, solid area as the platform tilts towards it. As they crouch under a narrow passage with spikes, they pass the [[Tutorial Pig]] and the checkpoint above the spikes. | Above the track leading to the letter is another that leads to a gap with a [[Tiki Buzz]] hovering above it.
