'''Croctopus Chase''' is the twentieth level of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' and the nineteenth in the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake. It is also the fourth level of the [[Gorilla Glacier]] area, and third level of the same world in the remake (having switched positions with [[Ice Age Alley]]).  
'''Croctopus Chase''' is the twentieth level of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' and the fourth level of [[Gorilla Glacier]]. In the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake, Crocotopus Chase swapped positions with [[Ice Age Alley]] and became the world's third level, and the 19th overall level.


Taking place in the depths of a freezing lake, Croctopus Chase is the third underwater level in the game. To complete the level, [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] must navigate an underwater maze. However, with blue [[Croctopus]]es chasing them through the narrow passages, it is a race against time. The [[Kong]]s must swim as fast as they can, otherwise they are attacked by the Croctopuses. To make matters worse in this level, the [[Kong]]s also have to avoid the other underwater enemies, including [[Chomps]], [[Chomps Jr.]], and the tiny, but mighty, [[Squidge]]s. Luckily, [[Enguarde the Swordfish]] can be found in a hidden area near the end of the level to help the heroes. This is also the first underwater level in the series to feature [[Barrel Cannon]]s.
== Summary ==
Croctopus Chase is the third underwater level of the game, and takes place in the depths of a freezing lake. The [[Kong]]s are not affected by the freezing temperatures, just like the other Gorilla Glacier levels. As the name suggests, Croctopus Chase features a [[Croctopus]] chasing [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] in a section of the level. The sections are divided based on when a Croctopus begins to chase the [[Kong]]s, which is when they pass it, up until the next alcove, which is where the Croctopus rests at. After passing the next Croctopus, it begins chasing the Kongs in place of the previous one.


==Overview==
A couple of other underwater enemies appear in this stage, including [[Chomps]], [[Chomps Jr.]], and [[Squidge]]s appear. An [[Animal Crate]] with [[Enguarde the Swordfish|Enguarde]] is located in a hidden area near the level exit. Croctopus Chase is the first underwater level to feature [[Barrel Cannon]]s, and is the only level in the game with two arrow signs.

At the beginning of the level, the Kongs make their way through a narrow passage. A Squidge floats past them as the continue to a 90 degree turn in the pathway. Once they swim to the top of the pathway, it leads them to the east, where a Croctopus waits in an alcove. Shortly after passing it, it begins to chase them, soon stopping in a second alcove nearby. Another alcove holds a wobbling [[DK Barrel]]. As the heroes continue down the passage, they come up to a Squidge and another Croctopus, who follows them around a U shaped pathway. They meet another Croctopus at the bottom of the passage, and it chases them north through an area with the [[K-O-N-G Letters|letter K]] in it. An alcove is located at the top of the area, which the Croctopus swims into once it is passed. A passage branches off of it, leading to the left, where a slightly wider area can be found with another DK Barrel.

*O: Once the Kongs shoot through the second pair of Barrel Cannons, they can spot a DK Barrel in an alcove being blocked by a wall. The primates can swim over this wall to reach the barrel. If they swim around the bend, they can find the letter O in a small area.

*Once the primates shoot out of the fourth Barrel Cannon in the level, they should carefully swim backwards and travel back into the passage before the cannon (which they could not freely swim through before because the previous Barrel Cannon shot them past it). They can find a tight pathway in the center of the passage that leads into an area with a camera icon. Two Croctopuses guard it. If they manage to grab the icon, they earn a [[photograph]] of a Croctopus in the second page of their [[scrapbook]].
