This level takes place within a volcano, but unlike in [[Hot-Head Hop]], solid ground is hard to come by. The [[Kong]]s must cross wide lakes of [[lava]] by riding atop [[Hot Air Balloon]]s, which are exclusive to this level in ''Donkey Kong Country 2'' (although they appear a few more times in ''Donkey Kong Land 2''). The Kongs must be careful as they ride the objects, as the balloons slowly descend towards the lava unless they are on top of the thermals found throughout the ''Donkey Kong Country 2'' version of the level. [[Rambi the Rhinoceros]] can also be found in this level and used during the first half it. The enemies in this level include [[Klomp]]s, [[Klobber]]s, [[Flitter]]s, [[Kruncha]]s, [[Zinger]]s, [[Click-Clack]]s and [[Neek]]s. In the ''Donkey Kong Land 2'' version of the level, Klomps and Click-Clacks do not appear.

When the heroes begin the level, they find themselves outside of a tunnel with a [[Banana Bunch]] ahead of it. A raised area of ground is near of here that they can climb to find a Klobber and a wide pit of lava with a Hot Air Balloon suspended by a thermal above it. A group of bananas are to the right of the banana, and they form the shape of an arrow, which points to the right. Once the Kongs cross this pit, they come up to another high piece of land on a solid, rocky area of ground. They can find a Kruncha here, who is followed by a lava pit with two thermals in it. The first of the thermals holds up a balloon that the heroes can ride on to cross the pit, and the [[K-O-N-G Letters|letter K]] is between it and the following thermal. After the primates glide past the second thermal, they reach a Banana Bunch and another area of ground, where they can find a high piece of ground with a Kruncha and an [[Animal Crate]] containing Rambi on it. The Kruncha stands on a slightly lower part of the ground than the crate, which sits to the right of a Zinger. If the heroes head east from here, they find a Klobber and a small pit with another Zinger above it. On the other side of this small pit, they can find another Klobber on a flat piece of ground and then another wide pit.

A Neek marches along a Hot Air Balloon being suspended by a thermal above a pit near here. They can ride the balloon to approach a Flitter, who they can bounce on to reach another balloon on a thermal. They must control the balloon so that it leads them past a Zinger and to another Flitter with a Banana Bunch above it. A Hot Air Balloon slowly descends to the right of the Flitter, as it is not held up by a thermal. The two primates can find another Hot Air Balloon ahead of here that holds a Neek. Before the balloon falls into the lava pit, they must control it so that it hovers above a small thermal nearby. They can find another thermal farther ahead of here with two Zingers next to it. The primates must hover between these foes in order to safely progress to the next part of the pit, where there is another thermal placed under a [[Golden Feather]] (an item found exclusively in the Game Boy Advance version of the game). The letter G is near here next to a trio of Zingers who are all positioned above separate thermals. They must head under these foes quickly, as the thermals may push them up into the Zingers if they are too slow. After they pass these Zingers, the heroes approach a thermal next to a Hot Air Balloon that slowly descends towards the lava. They can use this balloon to reach an area of ground with an [[End of Level Target]] on it, which they must hit to complete the level. If they hit this target immediately after jumping from the final balloon before descends too much, they win a prize as they finish the level.

==Secrets==

====K-O-N-G Letters====

*K: After the heroes reach the second Hot Air Balloon, they must hover between two thermals to find the letter K.

====Photograph (Game Boy Advance version only)====

*A Kruncha with a camera icon over its head marches under the level's Star Barrel. By using their Team-up move, the primates can throw one another at the foe to defeat it. Once the foe is defeated, the Kongs are given a [[photograph]] of a Kruncha for the second page of their [[scrapbook]].
