'''Muncher Marathon''' is the thirty-sixth level in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]'', as well as the eighth level in the [[Forest (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Forest]] world.


This level begins as any other level. However, after the player breaks the entrance to a giant log, [[Muncher (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Muncher]]s come out of their eggs and begin to chase them. [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] must run through the log, avoiding the enemies and the Munchers behind. If they get caught by the Munchers, the Kongs will instantly lose a life. After the Kongs pass the [[Tutorial Pig]], they need to start moving upward to reach the [[Slot Machine Barrel]] using barrel cannons, while the Munchers chase them from below. Enemies found in this level are [[Skittler]]s, [[Frogoon]]s, and [[Hopgoon]]s.

Two more mushroom platforms are placed nearby, and a solid platform with spikes floats between them. A green, grassy turf that the heroes can climb on is above the spikes, and under the platform supporting them is a wide abyss with a [[Puzzle Piece (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Puzzle Piece]]. An area with bananas and a DK Barrel are nearby. Donkey and Diddy soon come up to a section with moving Skittler Pillars that stand in their way. The pillars have gaps between them so they can travel through them. There is a long area full of these pillars, with only a small gap after the first two pillars and a Hopgoon farther ahead. If the heroes manage to pass through all of the Skittler Pillars, they come into a section with some climbable turf on the ceiling. They can reach the turf by bouncing on some spider eggs nearby, which soon hatch as the new spiders come by. The heroes can also reach the turf by bouncing on a mushroom that is placed directly under the letter O high in the air. A long section of spikes is located after the bouncy spider eggs here, so the Kongs must use the grassy turf above to climb over it. When they reach the end of the turf, they are able to drop down onto a safe platform with nothing on it but a single Skittler. More bouncy spider eggs follow a nearby gap. A Skittler Pillars stands in front of the eggs, but it opens to create a small passage for the primates. However, just as the following pillar, it closes again after a few seconds. Once the Kongs pass these two pillars, they reach another Skittler Pillar with a large space in it. They can travel under the pillar when it rises or go through the space in it as it falls. The letter N is in the space.

The duo can find more bouncy spider eggs ahead. With the eggs, they can bounce onto a high platform with a Skittler near it. Two empty platforms are placed next to the spider enemy, followed by a mushroom on the solid ground that can be used as a spring to reach another high area. On the other side of this thin, raised platform is a small gap and a path leading to an area with two Frogoons hopping around a platform. Spikes are placed under the enemies. A pathway leading to a small area full of mushroom-like platforms is ahead. Here, the mushrooms form a curvy path back and fourth. In the center of this area is a red, metal gate that the Kongs must smash through. A pathway is below it as well that is hidden by some leaves. When the duo crosses this section of mushrooms, they come up to some Skittlers and a set of four tumbling pillars that rise after a few seconds. Once they pass the pillars, they reach bouncy spiders eggs that can aid them in access a [[Blast Barrel]] high in the air. The barrel blasts them into a new part of the level, where the [[Tutorial Pig]] stands at the checkpoint on a solid platform.
