'''Parrot Chute Panic''' is the twenty-sixth level of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and the fourth level of [[Gloomy Gulch]]. It is the last [[Zinger]] hive level. There are a couple of [[Quawks]] in the level that [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]] must use to descend the narrow pathways while avoiding several Zingers along the way. After reaching a point, Quawks drops both Kongs, and the next Quawks is found either shortly or directly afterward. Additionally, [[Squawks]] is used in both of the level's [[Bonus Area]]s. The ground portions are short, straightforward paths that sometimes have a [[Klampon]] or a [[Spiny (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Spiny]] walking around, and one path even has three [[Click-Clack]]s. The honey-coated ground from previous hive levels also appear during this part. Parrot Chute Panic's name is a play on "parrot" and "parachute," as a reference to Quawks being a parrot and by slowly taking the Kongs down the level like a parachute.

The level begins on a flat ledge with a gap ahead of it. A [[DK Barrel]] wobbles above the gap. If the heroes drop into the gap, they fall past many floating [[banana]]s and an alcove containing a [[DK Coin|Video Game Hero Coin]], and then land on another flat surface with some honey splattered on it. The honey is sticky so the Kongs cannot walk through it easily. A Quawks waits for them in a small gap. Once they grab onto the parrot, they slowly descend through a small passage with a few Zingers in the center of it. At the bottom of the passage, the Quawks drops the Kongs, who then land on more honey. A crate lies next to the honey, followed by a Zinger floating in the air and a Klampon who marches along a flat pathway found in a slightly lower area. The crate can be used to break open a nearby wall. If they enter the opening in the wall once they do so, they enter a hidden area with many bananas that form the shape of the [[Rareware]] logo. After they travel through the exit of this area, they reach a thin passage that they must drop though to reach the [[KONG Letters|letter K]], many bananas, and a [[Banana Coin]], and then land in an area located farther into the level.
