'''Squawks's Shaft''' is the tenth level of ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'' | '''Squawks's Shaft''' is the tenth level of ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'' and the fifth level in [[Krem Cauldron]]. | ||
==Summary== | |||
{{rewrite|section=yes}} | |||
As its name suggests, Squawks's Shaft features [[Squawks the Parrot]], who first appears in the level. It is the second level to take place in a mine shaft. | |||
== | The level begins with a walking section. [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]] must go up the mine shaft while dealing with the typical members of the [[Kremling Krew]] that patrol mines; [[Klomp]]s, [[Neek]]s, and [[Krook]]s. While they are relatively easy to deal with, the initial part of the level also contains some barrel cannon blasting. The duo will have to launch themselves from barrel cannons into other cannons, and with proper timing and positioning they can reach the top. Shortly after the monkeys reach the [[Star Barrel]], they can enter an [[Animal Barrel]] to transform into Squawks. | ||
Squawks has two main abilities that are quite useful for this level; he can fly, by continuously pressing the A button, and spit coconuts from his mouth by pressing the B button. Squawks' coconut projectile shoots in an upwards arc, and can hurt all enemies found in the level including the [[Zinger]]s. The latter half of the level is using Squawks to get higher up the shaft, exploring for hidden collectibles such as [[Banana Coin]]s and [[KONG Letters]], and avoiding Zingers, Krooks, and a [[Kannon]]. At the very top of the level there is a [[No Animal Sign]], and to the right of the sign is the exit. | |||
==Layout== | |||
At the beginning of the level, the Kongs can find a Klomp, a Neek, and a DK Barrel near a raised platform that they must climb up to in order to find a Barrel Cannon that rotates when they enter it. They must use it to shoot to a higher platform with a Krook on it and an Auto Fire Barrel above it. This cannon is able to shoot them straight into the air, where they must shift either left or right to land in a barrel. To the left, they can find a barrel that is able to shoot them to a platform near the letter K and a Bonus Barrel, while to the right, they can discover a different Auto Fire Barrel that is able to blast them onto a higher platform. Another Barrel Cannon is near here that can blast the heroes onto a platform northwest from here. If they enter the Barrel Cannon above this platform, they can shoot themselves onto a small platform with an additional Barrel Cannon above it. This barrel is completely stationary, and the Kongs are able to activate it themselves. However, a Zinger flies back and forth above the barrel, so they must wait for it to move before they shoot. After they pass this enemy, they enter another stationary Barrel Cannon that can be used to blast them onto a higher platform. A Barrel Cannon is above this platform, while an Auto Fire Barrel is to the right of it. | At the beginning of the level, the Kongs can find a Klomp, a Neek, and a DK Barrel near a raised platform that they must climb up to in order to find a Barrel Cannon that rotates when they enter it.

After the Animal Buddy flies through these gaps, he reaches two platforms with one Krook on the end of each of them. If he manages to dodge the hooks thrown by these foes and heads farther north, he comes up to a few Flitters and some more platforms with gaps in them that he must travel through. On the other side of these gaps, he can find even more Flitters, along with a DK Barrel in the top-right corner of the area. In the top-left corner of this part of the level, Squawks can find another gap between two platforms, which two Zingers fly under and above. The area ahead of here contains a few more Zingers, one of which that guards a Bonus Barrel. An additional gap between two platforms is ahead of here, and on the other side of the gap, the parrot can find another Zinger and the letter G, which is hidden in the far right side of the area. One final gap between two platforms is above here, and a Zinger circles through it. Once the bird heads through this gap, he reaches a No Animal Sign that, when passed, turns him back into the Kongs, who are given a Banana Coin for successfully leading him to the sign. Diddy and Dixie can find a kannonball-shooting Kannon ahead of here, and once they pass it, they reach a spring that they must bounce on to complete the level. | After the Animal Buddy flies through these gaps, he reaches two platforms with one Krook on the end of each of them.

|'''Destroy Them All!'''<br>After the Kongs shoot up from the second Barrel Cannon, they must direct their fall to the left to land into a Bonus Barrel. In the Bonus Level, the Kongs have 20 seconds to defeat six Neeks, which they can find by going across a few long platforms. The Kongs can travel from one platform to the next by using Barrel Cannons along the sides. After Diddy or Dixie defeat every Neek, the [[Kremkoin]] appears at the top of the arena. | |||
