'''Deep Reef Grief''' is the twenty-first level found in the [[Game Boy]] and [[Game Boy Color]] game ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. This level takes place underneath Great Ape Lakes. This level is also the third level in the world [[Great Ape Lakes]].  
'''Deep Reef Grief''' is the twenty-first level of ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'' and the third level of [[Great Ape Lakes]].  


To complete the level, [[Dixie Kong]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] must swim through a network of narrow passages, between massive coral reefs, while avoiding countless waves of [[Aquatic Attackers|enemies]]. Although Deep Reef Grief is more straightforward than the previous "Coral" levels, namely [[Seabed Shanty]] and [[Coral Quarrel]], it is also much harder to navigate. Indeed, avoiding the countless schools of [[Bazza]]s, [[Koco]]s and [[Lurchin]]s proves quite tricky. A few [[Bounty Bass]]es can be found as well, taking advantage of their bulkiness in order to block the [[Kong]]s' way. Luckily, right after the [[Star Barrel]], Dixie and Kiddy encounter their friend, [[Enguarde the Swordfish]], whose pointed bill helps them defeat their underwater opponents. However, in vertical passages, Enguarde's stabbing attack may be harder to use.
==Summary==
The first half of the level is a generic water level. [[Dixie Kong]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] must swim through a network of narrow passages, between massive coral reefs, while avoiding aquatic enemies along the way. Like other underwater levels, there are forks in the path leading to things such as [[Bonus Barrel]]s or the level's [[DK Coin]]. After the [[Star Barrel]], the Kongs can enter an [[Animal Barrel]] to transform into [[Enguarde the Swordfish|Enguarde]] for the rest of the level. As Enguarde, he can quickly swim through the water and defeat enemies.


"Deep Reef Grief" is one of the only levels in ''Donkey Kong Land III'' where the [[DK Coin]] can be found without having to defeat a [[Koin]]. Actually, in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'', there was a small cave at the end of each "Coral" level, in which the Kong could find the Koin and also the flagpole. Such caves do not appear in the [[Game Boy]] sequel, since the flagpole is located and raised under the surface.

==Level layout==
At the beginning of the level, the heroes begin their journey by swimming between the plants and corals around the area. After passing a few Bazzas, they find the letter K and have to head on through the bending pathway, passing a few more enemies. Once the monkeys make their way through an upward, Lurchin-infested pathway, they start to float downwards to find the letter O. After they get this, they continue through the area and have to dodge several Lurchins. The pathway twists and turns throughout even more of the level, and the Kongs eventually meet some more Kocos and Bazzas as they move along the narrow areas. Avoiding numerous enemies, the heroes soon curve into a downwards pathway and find the [[Star Barrel]].

*Where the letter O can be found, the heroes have to hover to the right and swim through the water. Soon, they come up to a [[Bonus Barrel]]. Carefully maneuvering around the many Lurchins in the area, they are able to get into the barrel, sending them into a [[Bonus Level]]. There, they have to swim along the perimeter of the area to collect stars. After grabbing the last two stars in the center of the stage, they can find the [[Bonus Coin]] below them.

*Shortly after the letter N, the Kongs find an arrow pointing to the left. They should ignore it and head downwards, passing a few Bazzas. Soon, they should find themselves near the next Bonus Barrel. Once they are shot to the Bonus Level with it, they have to swim through a long, curvy area. The stage is filled with dozens of enemies, so the apes have to be careful. If they can make it safely to the end of the stage within forty seconds, they are awarded with a Bonus Coin.

|'''Collect the Stars!'''<br>Where the letter O can be found, the Kongs must swim right until coming up to a [[Bonus Barrel]], which is between two Lurchins. They must swim around them and enter the Bonus Barrel. In the [[Bonus Level]], the Kongs have 30 seconds to collect 32 stars, by swimming along the perimeter of the area. All of the stars are in groups of three except the last two stars in the center. After collecting the stars, Dixie and Kiddy can get the [[Bonus Coin]] at the southeast of the middle area.

|'''Find the Token!'''<br>Shortly after the letter N, the Kongs find an arrow pointing to the left. They must ignore it and pass few Bazzas to soon come across the Bonus Barrel. In the Bonus Level, the Kongs have 40 seconds to swim through a long, curvy area and collect the Bonus Coin at the end, while avoiding enemies along the way.

*Right after the letter O, the heroes have to swim along the pathway until they find an arrow, made by a formation of bananas. If they hover to the right from there and pass a Lurchin, they enter an area with the [[DK Coin]]. Though a [[Koin]] normally has this item, the DK Coin is simply surrounded by some more Lurchins.

|Like the other underwater levels, the DK Coin appears by itself without Koin. Right after the letter O, the Kongs must swim along the pathway until they find a group of bananas forming an arrow. If they swim right from there and pass a Lurchin, they enter an area with some Lurchins surrounding the [[DK Coin]].
