|notes=The Kongs have to maneuver through underwater enemies in a flooded tree-area.

This level is unique, as it's set within a group of huge trees that have sunken into a lake. The level's trees are all hollow, so the monkeys can move freely inside of them. Since part of the spruce trees are underwater, the [[Kong]]s find themselves swimming beneath the trees, maneuvering around many [[Lurchin]]s in the area. The heroes begin their journey here by swimming downwards on one side of the level, and coming back up by criss-crossing through the trees. In the background of this level, a sunken city resembling ''Atlantis'' can be seen, rather then having other trees in the background like a normal tree level. Next to Lurchins, [[Koco]]s, [[Bounty Bass]], [[Bazza]]s, [[Minkey]]s, and [[Buzz (enemy)|Buzzes]] can be found in the sunken spruce trees.

When the level begins, the Kongs find themselves on a tree branch above the bright water. Walking into the tree trunk to the left, they head down the area on a short rope and find the exit of the trunk. Once out if the tree, the apes find themselves slightly in the water. If they walk off of the branch, they fall into the lake, meeting a few Lurchins. Swimming below the last exit, they find a round opening into the first tree, which leads them to a completely sunken area of the tree. Slowing and carefully hovering downwards in the trunk, they pass some Kocos and soon find another opening to the right. If they go through this opening, they enter an area outside of the tree, full of many more Lurchins, as well as the letter K. After swimming through another passage nearby, the heroes make their way into a different tree, where they pass a few Bounty Basses. At the bottom of the area, they can see a pathway into the neighboring tree. They must take this route and enter the spruce, heading downwards. Once they pass the many Lurchins scattered all around the area, they make their way out of the tree and swim in a U shape around a short branch. After they pass through the nearest opening, they arrive in an area full of Bazzas, crossing between the two sides of the tree. The Kongs have to exit the tree at its lowest point and travel through a small space outside of the level's two trees. Entering the second tree, the group dodge some rapidly moving Lurchins and find the way between a third tree through a small opening. They must swim diagonally in this space, following a small trail of bananas, to enter the next tree, where they find the [[Star Barrel]].
