Platform Perils: Difference between revisions

'''Platform Perils''' is the thirty-third level and final non-boss level in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. It is also the final level of the [[Chimp Caverns]] area. In the [[Game Boy Color]] version of the game, this level is the thirty-fourth level, as the result of the remake's new level, [[Necky Nutmare]]. It is the final area of Chimp Caverns in all versions of the game. In the European version of the game, there are only TNT barrels offered to defeat the gray Krusha enemies.

In this walkway level, the [[Kong]]s face several challenges. The main obstacle here are the many black, moving platforms scattered all over the level. Each of these platforms has a white arrow painted on them, and wherever the arrow is pointing is where the platform moves upon being landed on. As a result, the heroes are able to navigate over many abysses with these platforms. The platforms are sometimes guarded by strong foes, namely [[Klump]]s and [[Krusha]]s, and even when these enemies are not on the platforms, the Kongs must avoid standing on the platforms too long because the objects fall after they move for a short amount of time. Other enemies that attempt to attack the Kongs here are [[Zinger]]s, [[Necky|Neckies]], [[Gnawty|Gnawties]], and [[Army|Armies]]. Additionally, this is the only level to feature gray Krushas, besides [[Necky Nutmare]], a level exclusive to the game's [[Game Boy Color]] version.

|After passing the first group of Klumps, the primates drop onto a platform with the letter K above it.

|The primates find the letter N being circled by a Zinger as they travel along the second platform from the Star Barrel.

|Near the end of the level, the Kongs can find the letter G above a black platform that pulls them eastwards towards the final black platform in the level.

|'''''Spell it Out!'''''<br>When the Kongs land on the level's first moving platform, they should walk left and fall off it. They end up landing on a hidden platform directly below where the first platform started, which leads them to a barrel that takes them to the first [[Bonus Level]]. Here, they need to hit four barrels so that the [[K-O-N-G Letters]] displayed on them all spell out "KONG" in the correct order. If they do it correctly, they are given an Animal Token of [[Expresso]] or a [[Extra Life Balloon|Red Balloon]]. Afterwards, the primates return to the main level. If they fail to spell out the word correctly, they are forced out of the level without a prize.

|'''''Stop the Barrel!'''''<br>On the very last platform in the level, occupied by a Gnawty, the primates are taken downwards. Instead of jumping to the scaffolds to the right, they should continue to hover downwards and find a hidden scaffold. If they jump on this and head a little bit farther, they can find a barrel. It takes them to the final Bonus Level in the whole game, where they have to watch as an [[Animal Token]] of [[Enguarde]] moves around four barrels. Once it stops, it disappears, and the Kongs need to choose which barrel it stopped on. If they choose correctly, they are given the token. After they claim their prize, they exit the bonus. They are forced out of the stage without a prize if they fail to choose the correct barrel.
