'''Clingy Swingy''' is the thirtieth level in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]'', as well as the second level in the [[Forest (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Forest]] world.
'''Clingy Swingy''' is the thirtieth level in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]''. It is the second level of the [[Forest (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Forest]] world. After completing the level, the world map path forks: [[Flutter Flyaway]] is accessed by taking the upper path and [[Springy Spores]] is accessed from the lower path.


This level is set in a dense forest full of objects hanging by pieces of rope. These objects are covered [[Climbing Grass]] that [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] must [[cling]] to as the objects move. They may even need to jump from turf to turf at times. [[Cling Cobra]]s may make this task rather difficult. [[Tiki Zing]]s, [[Toothberry|Toothberries]], [[Chomp (Donkey Kong Country series)|Chomps]], and [[Squeekly|Squeeklies]] are common enemies here as well.
Clingy Swingy is a dense forest area with many objects hung by pieces of rope. Many of the objects are covered in [[Climbing Grass]], including large logs, platforms, and huts. [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] must [[cling]] to the Climbing Grass as the object moves. The [[Kong]]s sometimes have to jump from two Climbing Grass platforms. [[Cling Cobra]]s appear around the climbable areas, and other enemies in the level include [[Tiki Zing]]s, [[Toothberry|Toothberries]], [[Chomp (Donkey Kong Country series)|Chomps]], and [[Squeekly|Squeeklies]].


In the [[Donkey Kong Country Returns#Time Attack|Time Attack]] mode of the game, a time of 1:50:00 is needed to get a gold medal, a time of 2:10:00 for silver, and a time of 2:46:00 for bronze.

The level begins on a straight pathway with an item-bearing plant in it. A small hill is on the end part of the pathway with the first [[DK Barrel]] on the end of it. A platform follows a small gap near the barrel, and it has a larger abyss right after it. The primates must use green, grassy turf found on a hanging platform above the abyss to climb across. The turf-covered platform tilts as the heroes climb across it due to their weight. Tiki Zings float in the gap, moving in a horizontal or vertical path. Three hanging platforms that the Kongs can stand on are ahead. They tilt with their weight when stood on. The first and last platforms have Toothberries on them, but the one in the middle has a spore-shooting Chomp above it. A strange, hanging house follows above a large abyss. The Kongs can climb to to the other side of the object with the aid of the climbable turf on it.

===K-O-N-G Letters===
*K: At the beginning of the level, the Kongs grab onto the turf on a triangular object with a curved bottom that swings like a pendulum. As it swings, they are pulled into the letter K at the lowest point that it swings.
*K: At the start, there is a triangular object with a curved bottom, and it swings like a pendulum. As it swings, the Kongs must cling on the Climbing Grass, to follow a trail of bananas until reaching the letter K at the lowest point of when the object swings.
*O: The letter O can be found around the pair of solid platforms under the final swinging structure before the second checkpoint. It is on the platform to the left, which can be reached if the heroes simply drop down to it.
*O: The letter O is on the left platform under the last swinging structure before the second checkpoint. The Kongs can reach the letter by.
*N: Not too long after the letter O, the duo reaches a turf-covered structure that swings. The structure has a gap in the center of it, so they cannot climb all the way along it. This forces them to drop down to a platform at the bottom of the area and then jump back onto the other side of the object as it swings back if they want to progress. If the Kongs make their way to a platform hidden below this, they can find the letter N.
*N: After the second checkpoint, the Kongs encounter a wide swinging log covered in Climbing Grass. The letter N is on a platform hidden beneath the log.
*G: The letter G is on a mushroom under a platform with some turf on the bottom of it near the end of the level. The Kongs can drop down from the turf to land on the mushroom and grab it.
*G: Near the end of the level, the Kongs must swing from a long platform with Climbing Grass at the bottom. The Kongs can drop to a small platform in the center of the pit to get the letter G.

#Shortly after the letter K, a platform with turf on the bottom of it can be found. A plant grows on it that reveals the first [[Puzzle Piece (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Puzzle Piece]] when pounded on. The platform is high in the air, so they must bounce on some nearby Squeeklies to reach the plant.
#Shortly after the letter K, the Kongs must jump from some Squeeklies to reach a high platform with Climbing Grass beneath it. The first [[Puzzle Piece (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Puzzle Piece]] is inside of a plant on the Climbing Grass, and the Kongs can obtain it by [[Ground Pound]]ing the plant.
#A [[Barrel Cannon]] that shoots the heroes into a [[Bonus Level]] is high in the air after the first checkpoint. To reach it, they must bounce on a nearby Squeekly and move towards the first turf-covered platform from the checkpoint while in midair. When they get on this platform, they can pass a group of five Tiki Zings while heading to the left to access the Barrel Cannon nearby. When the cannon shoots them into the Bonus Level, they have to use a moving trampoline to grab four Banana Coins and forty bananas as they fly through the air. If everything is collected within thirty seconds, a Puzzle Piece appears.
#After the first checkpoint, Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong must jump from a Squeekly and move in midair toward a platform with Climbing Grass. When the Kongs land on it, they must go left and pass five Tiki Zings while to enter a nearby [[Blast Barrel]] that takes them into the [[Bonus Level]]. In it, the Kongs have 30 seconds to collect four Banana Coins and 40 bananas in the air, which they can reach from a bouncing platform. When they collect all of the items, the Puzzle Piece appears.  
#A large, turf-covered structure that swings when grabbed onto is shortly after the second Puzzle Piece. The primates should climb all the way around it to find a plant that releases the third Puzzle Piece when pounded on.
#Shortly after the Bonus Level, there is a large structure covered in Climbing Grass that swings when the Kongs grab on it. They must climb around it and Ground Pound a plant that releases the third Puzzle Piece.
#When the heroes get off of the pendulum structure that swings them near the letter N, they should wait for the giant object to swing back. As it swing towards them, they should try to jump on top of it. If they manage to get on it, they are swung under the Puzzle Piece that is located just above it.
#After the Kongs get off a pendulum-like structure that swings them near the letter N, they must wait for the object to swing back so that they can jump on top of it. As the Kongs stand on the structure, it swings them to a Puzzle Piece above.
#A round object with two Cling Cobras on it is right after the letter G. The fifth and final Puzzle Piece is on the bottom of it.
