'''Mast Blast''' is the eighteenth level in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]'', as well as the third level in the [[Ruins]] world.
'''Mast Blast''' is the eighteenth level in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]'', as well as the third level in the [[Ruins]] world.


Not only does this level take place in the ruins, but it also takes place on the beach and on three different ships. When [[Donkey Kong|Donkey]] and [[Diddy Kong]] reach the beach area, many ships begin to shoot cannonballs at them. However, the [[Kong]]s can find a way into the ships to progress and avoid their attacks. The primates can travel inside and outside of the ships, and while they are outside of it, they can find many ship yards to travel on. Similar to the mast levels in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', the Kongs must climb up these masts to advance through the level. However, as they try to complete the stage, they are constantly attacked by [[Snaps]], [[Pinchly]]s, [[Tiki Torch]]es, and [[Tiki Goon]]s.
==Summary==
Mast Blast takes place at a beach outside of the ruins, and [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] must travel across three different ships. At the start, the [[Kong]]s must use some [[Barrel Cannon]]s to move across and slide down some stone walkways. The Kongs eventually enter a beach area, where a pirate ship follows after them, shooting cannonballs at them throughout the level. The cannonballs are able to break crates, some of which have explosives inside them. The Kongs can launch to the ship from a Barrel Cannon once the crates obscuring it are gone. The Kongs can go inside some ships and travel on many ship yards while they are outside.


In the [[Donkey Kong Country Returns#Time Attack|Time Attack]] mode of the game, a time of 1:37:00 is needed to get a gold medal, a time of 2:06:00 for silver, and a time of 2:40:00 for bronze.
Inside the ship, some red walls are in the way, and the Kongs can destroy them by performing a [[Kong Roll]]. Advancing to the upper parts of the ship reveals that the ship is battling another ship. The Kongs must continue to another Barrel Cannon to go onto a larger pirate ship. The second ship is under heavy fire, so the Kongs must dodge the cannonballs while navigating the ship deck and masts. They can cling to the bottom of the masts. The end of the level is at the top of the ship.

At the beginning of the level, the Kongs come up to a straight pathway in a ruins area. Just after passing a [[DK Barrel]], the Kongs can find a [[Barrel Cannon]] that can shoot them to an Auto Fire Barrel and then onto another platform. This stone bridge-like platform curves downwards and leads the primates to a few small platforms with Tiki Goons on them. After treading up a tilted platform, the Kongs can reach another Barrel Cannon that shoots them farther into the background, where a Tiki Torch can be found. Behind the Kongs is also a small platform with a dandelion on it; the plant gives the heroes a [[Puzzle Piece (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Puzzle Piece]] if blown on. Farther ahead are some tilted platforms with Tiki Goons on them that the Kongs can slide down. Another Barrel Cannon is at the end of this area, and it blasts the primates closer to the foreground, where they find another slanted platform leading to a Barrel Cannon. This cannon shoots them to the final stone platform, which is tilted down towards a Barrel Cannon that blasts the heroes to a beach area. At the Kongs arrival in this area, they pass the [[Tutorial Pig]] who marks the checkpoint.
