An '''End of Level Target'''<ref>''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' instruction booklet, [[Media:DKC2 Manual 16-17.jpg|page 17]].</ref> is an object found in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. They are found at the end of the level, hence the name, and they switch between a few prizes, one of which the Kongs can possibly acquire. The End of Level Targets were replaced with [[Level Flag]]s in both ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''.

An '''End of Level Target''',<ref>''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' instruction booklet. {{media link|DKC2 Manual 16-17.jpg|Page 17}}.</ref><ref>''Donkey Kong Land 2'' instruction booklet, page 14.</ref> also known as an '''exit target''',<ref>M. Arakawa. ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' Player's Guide. Page 19.</ref> is an object found in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. An End of Level Target works very similarly to a {{wp|High striker|strength tester}}. There is an End of Level Target at the end of every non-boss [[level]]. If [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]] land on an End of Level Target from a high enough position, the attached lever causes the [[barrel]] to rise to the top of the pole, giving them one of several roulette-style scrolling prizes, including a [[Red Balloon]], [[KONG Letters|the letter ''G'']], a [[Banana Coin]], a [[Banana Bunch]], a [[banana]], or sometimes even one of [[DK Coin|Cranky's Video Game Hero Coin]]s. The Video Game Hero Coin of [[Web Woods (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Web Woods]], in particular, flashes by faster than the other prizes. If Diddy collects a prize, he briefly brings out a boombox and starts rapping, whereas with Dixie, she briefly performs on an electric guitar. If no prize is won, a brief fanfare plays instead. Diddy's rap, Dixie's guitar, and the brief fanfare all vary based on the level's music but not in the [[Game Boy Advance]] version.


It works very similarly to a {{wp|High striker|strength tester}} game. If the Kongs land hard enough on the target, the attached lever causes the [[barrel]] to rise to the top of the pole. This gives them one of several roulette-style scrolling prizes, including: an [[Extra Life Balloon]], [[K-O-N-G Letters|the letter G]], a [[Banana Coin]], a [[Banana Bunch]], a [[Banana]], or sometimes even a [[DK Coin]]. The DK Coin of [[Web Woods (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Web Woods]] is the hardest End of Level Target prize to acquire because it flashes by faster than the other prizes.
In ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', the End of Level Target is a trampoline-like object, also called the '''Goal Target''',<ref>''Donkey Kong Land 2'' Nintendo 3DS [[Virtual Console]] electronic manual. Tab 9: "Progressing Through Stages".</ref> which does not yield a prize. When Diddy or Dixie jumps onto a Goal Target, it bounces them out of the level.


If [[Diddy Kong]] collects the prize, he briefly brings out a boombox and starts rapping, whereas with [[Dixie Kong]], she briefly performs on an electric guitar.
The End of Level Targets were replaced with [[Level Flag]]s in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''.
 
In ''Donkey Kong Land 2'', the End of Level Target was replaced with a simple target. As a result, the Kongs cannot obtain a prize from it. The target functions just like a spring; when the active Kong jumps on the End of Level Target, it bounces them out of the level.
