If they jump from the third of these mechanisms, they can reach another platform that is twice as long as it. This platform, along with the two platforms after it, tilts far enough that the heroes can slide down it and fall into the abyss, so they have to be cautious.

It can be climbed to reach collectibles, including a [[Puzzle Piece (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Puzzle Piece]]. At the end of this area are two tilting platforms above a wide abyss. Between them is a sandbag with an item in it, while ahead of them is a Barrel Cannon that aims the primates to another Barrel Cannon. However, this cannon is surrounded by a turning gear with gaps in it. They must blast between the gaps to access the Barrel Cannon, which them aims onto a switch hanging from the background. It can be used as a platform to help the primates cross the remaining part of the large pit and then to arrive on a large, round piece of machinery that they can stand on. Ahead of it is another switch platform, which has a Tiki Buzz and a big area of ground after it. Here, there is a solid platform with a Tiki Bomber and another Tiki Buzz just before the next switch platform. Next to it above an abyss is a Barrel Cannon that aims the primates upwards towards another cannon being surrounded by a turning gear. When a gap in the gear is present in the Kongs' path, they should shoot. The Barrel Cannon does not shoot them far enough for them to land directly into the next barrel, and they instead land on the gear around it. While on the gear, they can jump into the Barrel Cannon and blast through another gap in the mechanism to progress to a third Barrel Cannon in the area. This cannon can shoot them onto a pair of platforms that travel in a circle. They enable the heroes to reach a solid area of land with the letter N above it. A Pyrobot and the Tutorial Pig, who waits at the checkpoint, are here as well.
As the primates approach the end of the level, they come up to a rotating gear covered in climbable chains above a wide abyss after a Tiki Buzz.

The primates must ride along it to reach another switch platform. There is a single platform that travels in circles nearby after a Tiki Buzz. It can lead them onto a long, red platform covered in more chains. The duo is able to grab onto the chains and ride along the platform as it tilts in the air. Eventually, it hovers above a switch platform and a Tiki Buzz. They can wait for another turning gear with chains on this platform. When the manage to grab onto it, it pulls them above a gap in the following gear, which has a Barrel Cannon at its center. The heroes must jump into the gap and reach the barrel so they can be fired to another spinning gear with chains around it. This mechanism can lead them to a gear right above it that circles around the letter G. Once the Kongs grab the letter, or simply ignore it, they can jump off of the chains on this final gear above the abyss to reach a solid platform with a fire-breathing Pyrobot on it. The robot is followed by a Barrel Cannon that aims the Kongs towards the [[Slot Machine Barrel]]. It is being surrounded by another turning gear with gaps in it. If they shoot past the gaps and hit the barrel, the level is completed.

This article is under construction. Therefore, please excuse its informal appearance while it is being worked on. We hope to have it completed by February 2011.

Template:Level Cog Jog is the fifty-first level in Donkey Kong Country Returns, as well as the third level in the Factory world.

This whole level revolves using moving platforms and other machinery to cross the level. The Kongs also need to time the Barrel Cannons to shoot when there is a gap in the machinery. Most of the platforms do not perform steep tilts, but some of them have an erratic pattern. Towards the end of the level, there are turf covered machines that the Kongs must use to get to the end. Common enemies here are Pyrobots, Tiki Buzzes, and Tiki Bombers.

In the Time Attack mode of the game, a time of 1:45:00 is needed to get a gold medal, a time of 2:11:00 for silver, and a time of 2:30:00 for bronze.

Overview

The level begins with a straight pathway leading past a sign that reminds the Kongs to press the hidden, red switch in the level. It is followed by two spinning, round gears with a Tiki Buzz and a platform with a barrel on it above them. Ahead of them is a solid area of ground with a fire-breathing Pyrobot on it. There is a Barrel Cannon behind it that aims to another cannon. However, this cannon is surrounded by a round gear that slowly spins around it. They must shoot through the gaps in the gear to get into the second Barrel Cannon that can blast them through another gap onto another spinning mechanism. Next to it is the third Barrel Cannon that is able to shoot them through a gap in the following gear that rotates around another Barrel Cannon. This gear has collectibles, including the letter K of the K-O-N-G Letters, on the inside part of it. Shooting through the gaps in it again to reach a nearby platform, the Kongs can find a pogo-stick enemy bouncing along some stair-like structures. On the top stair is a barrel and ahead of it is a large abyss that can only be crossed if the primates move along some moving platforms. The first of these platforms is rather long, and it carries two fire-breathing Pyrobots. Between it and the following moving platform is a Tiki Buzz and a Banana Bunch above it. When the two platforms float near each other, the Kongs can jump over to the second platform, which is followed by two similar platforms that move at the same rate as it. If they jump from the third of these mechanisms, they can reach another platform that is twice as long as it. This platform, along with the two platforms after it, tilts far enough that the heroes can slide down it and fall into the abyss, so they have to be cautious. Once the Kongs travel over the whole abyss with the remaining three platforms, they can reach a solid area with the letter O hovering above it and the Tutorial Pig with the first checkpoint.

After the checkpoint is a fire-breathing Pyrobot and a group of two platforms that move in circles. The Kongs can use the moving platforms to get onto a switch platform near a Tiki Buzz. Next to it is a solid area of land with a Tiki Bomber and a giant object that tilts left and right. It can be climbed to reach collectibles, including a Puzzle Piece. At the end of this area are two tilting platforms above a wide abyss. Between them is a sandbag with an item in it, while ahead of them is a Barrel Cannon that aims the primates to another Barrel Cannon. However, this cannon is surrounded by a turning gear with gaps in it. They must blast between the gaps to access the Barrel Cannon, which them aims onto a switch hanging from the background. It can be used as a platform to help the primates cross the remaining part of the large pit and then to arrive on a large, round piece of machinery that they can stand on. Ahead of it is another switch platform, which has a Tiki Buzz and a big area of ground after it. Here, there is a solid platform with a Tiki Bomber and another Tiki Buzz just before the next switch platform. Next to it above an abyss is a Barrel Cannon that aims the primates upwards towards another cannon being surrounded by a turning gear. When a gap in the gear is present in the Kongs' path, they should shoot. The Barrel Cannon does not shoot them far enough for them to land directly into the next barrel, and they instead land on the gear around it. While on the gear, they can jump into the Barrel Cannon and blast through another gap in the mechanism to progress to a third Barrel Cannon in the area. This cannon can shoot them onto a pair of platforms that travel in a circle. They enable the heroes to reach a solid area of land with the letter N above it. A Pyrobot and the Tutorial Pig, who waits at the checkpoint, are here as well.

As the primates approach the end of the level, they come up to a rotating gear covered in climbable chains above a wide abyss after a Tiki Buzz. The Kongs can grab onto it and let it pull them towards another gear with chains. This gear can take them to a switch platform that is followed by a flat, red platform that tilts. The primates must ride along it to reach another switch platform. There is a single platform that travels in circles nearby after a Tiki Buzz. It can lead them onto a long, red platform covered in more chains. The duo is able to grab onto the chains and ride along the platform as it tilts in the air. Eventually, it hovers above a switch platform and a Tiki Buzz. They can wait for another turning gear with chains on this platform. When the manage to grab onto it, it pulls them above a gap in the following gear, which has a Barrel Cannon at its center. The heroes must jump into the gap and reach the barrel so they can be fired to another spinning gear with chains around it. This mechanism can lead them to a gear right above it that circles around the letter G. Once the Kongs grab the letter, or simply ignore it, they can jump off of the chains on this final gear above the abyss to reach a solid platform with a fire-breathing Pyrobot on it. The robot is followed by a Barrel Cannon that aims the Kongs towards the Slot Machine Barrel. It is being surrounded by another turning gear with gaps in it. If they shoot past the gaps and hit the barrel, the level is completed.
