Template:Level Ghoulish Grotto is the thirty-sixth level in the pseudo-sequel to Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble, Donkey Kong Land III. It is also the sixth and final area of The Lost World.
Taking place in a cave, the heroes will find several barrels. These barrels will appear through much of the beginning of the level to help the monkeys make it down the cave. On the way, they will find many enemies, such as Bristles, Kobbles, Kopters, Re-Koils, Sneeks, Krumples, and Buzzes. Luckily, Squawks the Parrot will appear in this level to defeat and pass all these foes. The parrot will be used for much of the level, and he will have to travel even farther downwards through the cave, while watching out for many Buzzes. Near the end of the level, the group will turn back to normal and meet many Kuchukas, as well as a Kobble. These enemies will try to cause havoc in the level and knock the Kongs out if they aren't careful. As the heroes travel closer and closer to the level's end, they will also find some Ghost Barrels, which they will have to avoid to make it under a few Buzzes safely.
Level Layout
From the start of the level, the Kongs will need to travel through the bumpy cave and hop into a lone barrel. They will be shot up to an area filled with some enemies. After passing two Kopters, the group will need to blast through some more barrels to reach a lower part of the cave. There, they will need to head east and beat some enemies. Soon, they will find another chain of barrels. They should shoot through it and end up having to go east. Once they hop over many Bristles, they will have to jump over a group of Buzzes and jump into an Animal Barrel up the path. It will turn them into Squawks. Squawks should then immediately fly upwards and follow arrows, made of bananas, to make his way through the area. Traveling to lower parts of the level, the parrots will soon have to defeat two small groups of Buzzes blocking his path. After getting through this area, the bird will need to hover east and beat some Re-Koils, as well as another set of Buzzes blocking the hero's path. Heading down the thin path, the parrot will find the Star Barrel.
Halfway through the level, Squawks will have to fly down the strait pathway and pass the No Animal Sign, bringing the Kongs back into their original forms. After that, the group will have to climb up a few ledges while avoid some Kuchukas to find a small pit. They should use the barrel inside of it to travel to a lower area of the stage. There, they will need to journey west and move away from some Kuchukas again. After this, they will have to drop down from a ledge and continue west to find more enemies. The heroes should beat all these foes and drop down from another ledge. In an even lower part of the level, the monkeys will have to walk down a long pathway, knocking out some Bristles. Soon, they will see another pit. Following the arrows nearby, created by bananas, the Kongs should drop into it and travel east. After passing a lone Krumple, they will enter an area with some Ghost Barrels and Buzzes. The Ghost Barrels, aiming at the Buzzes, will appear and disappear constantly, and when they disappear, the apes will have to run under the Buzzes to avoid being forced into them. Once this area is cleared, Kiddy and Dixie will have to head farther east and defeat various enemies. Soon, after passing a few Kuchukas, they will see a flagpole. When the apes touch this flagpole, the level will end.
Secrets
Bonus Levels
- Right before the first No Animal Sign, the heroes will see two Buzzes over a small gap. Under the second Buzz will be a Bonus Barrel. The Kongs should sneak around the wasp-like foe and get in the barrel. It will lead them to the level's first Bonus Level, where they will need to shoot through a long chain of barrel around a large platform, collecting stars. Once all the stars are obtained, the monkeys will be blasted to the Bonus Coin.
- After the letter N, the monkeys will find a Ghost Barrel over a small pit. They should jump into it as it faces up and be shot up to a hidden platform. There, they will find the next Bonus Barrel. Going into the barrel, the heroes will be taken to the level's second Bonus Level. There, they will need to run through a cave area and defeat several foes in under thirty seconds. Once the final enemy is beat, a Bonus Coin will appear at the end of the stage.
DK Coin
- Right after the monkeys pass a few Kopters at the beginning of the level, they will see a chain of barrels. They should jump over the barrels and find a lone, normal barrel. Picking it up, they should carry the barrel to the level's Koin. This foe will have the DK Coin, and will not give it up without a fight. They Kongs will have to defeat him by jumping on the Kremling's large shield and throwing the barrel at the wall. While the Koin is distracted, the barrel will bounce off of the wall and hit him in the side, thus letting the heroes claim the DK Coin.
