Jagged Jewels
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 Jagged Jewels is the twenty-eighth level in Donkey Kong Country Returns, as well as the sixth and final level in the Cave world. It is a secret level, as all of the K-O-N-G Letters in the Cave world must be collected to unlock it.
As its name suggests, this level features many sharp, jewel-like spikes. These spikes can be found on or around every platform in this level. Most of the spikes are located inside square-shaped platforms, sticking out of them occasionally to attack the Kongs, but some also revolve around hemisphere shaped platforms as well. Other times, they quickly orbit around tilting, cylinder shaped platforms or appear on parts of the ceiling that can smash Donkey and Diddy Kong. Other than spikes, the hazards in this level include enemies such as Tiki Goons.
Overview
Secrets
Puzzle Pieces
- The first puzzle piece is hidden within a vase on a tilting platform. Donkey Kong must break the vase and release the piece, and then grab it before the the spikes pop up and stab him.
- The second puzzle piece is also hidden in a vase. This time, however, it is on a tilting platform that has a ring of spikes tilting around it in a different angle. Donkey Kong needs to break the vase and grab the piece without touching the ring of spikes.
- The third puzzle piece is hovering over a spike that shoots and recoils constantly. The player needs to wait until the spike is recoiling and then hop over the tip of the spike to grab the piece.
- The fourth puzzle piece is much like the third, expect it is reversed. The player needs to have Donkey Kong roll at the piece as the spike is recoiling, and then jump onto the next platform to avoid death.
- The last piece is very tricky to obtain. After shooting to the final platform, the player must have Diddy Kong in order to fly back to the piece. The puzzle piece is above the barrel, and requires the rockets to be able to reach that far.
