'''Vertigo Verge''' is the fourteenth level in the [[Game Boy]] and [[Game Boy Color]] game, ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. Located in the north-west of [[Blackforest Plateau]], it is the second level in this area, as well as the first cliff level.
'''Vertigo Verge''' is the fourteenth level in ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'' and the second level of [[Blackforest Plateau]], where it is on the northwest part of the map. It is the first cliff level of the game.


This level takes place in a low mountain range, where [[Dixie Kong]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] must thread their way through a labyrinth of cliffs and rocky ledges. The weather is rainy and rather gloomy, and since the stormy clouds are occulting the sun, the whole level is dark, making small enemies such as [[Sneek]]s harder to see. To cross the numerous gaps and chasms, the [[Kong]]s have to cling to vertical and horizontal ropes. However, [[Klasp]]s and [[Buzz (enemy)|Buzzes]] try to knock them off, which is reminiscent of both [[Kreeping Klasps]] and [[Ropey Rumpus]] from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'', the game's SNES counterpart. Many [[Kobble]]s, [[Knocka]]s and [[Krumple]]s attack the Kongs throughout the level as well, thus the player should try to keep Kiddy Kong in order to defeat these tough opponents.

When the level begins, the Kongs make their way to a set of horizontal ropes. After they reach the bottom of the last rope, they pass some Kobbles to find a large hill. At the top of this hill, they climb down more horizontal ropes, while avoiding Klasps. Going west from there, they walk down the nearby hill and grab the letter K, finding another rope. It leads them down to a long tightrope, where the Kongs need to continue downwards around a small series of pathways. Once they reach the bottom of that area, they travel to the left and drop down some wooden platforms. Going east from there, they collect the letter O and shimmy down a nearby Buzz infested, rope. Continuing along the rocky surface, they can find more platforms to climb down. If they head east after the final platform, they can find the [[Star Barrel]].

Unless they want they [[DK Coin]], they should simply travel to the west and slide down another rope, finding the letter N. After that, they walk up a small hill while avoiding enemies to spy the next rope. It guides them to some horizontal tightropes, which they need to fall down from to reach the next area. There, the apes continue along a long, rigid pathway, collecting the letter G, until they find another rope. Climbing down, they end up on a long tightrope in which they need to move across, heading east, and drop onto some wooden platforms. They soon make their way over a straight pathway to a flagpole. Touching the flagpole will end the level.

Template:Levelbox Vertigo Verge is the fourteenth level in Donkey Kong Land III and the second level of Blackforest Plateau, where it is on the northwest part of the map. It is the first cliff level of the game.

Vertigo Verge takes place in a low mountain range, where Dixie and Kiddy must move through many cliffs and rocky ledges. A rainfall takes place in the level, although it does not affect the Kongs. The Kongs must use both horizontal and vertical ropes to go through the level. There are many Buzzes and Klasps in the level.

Layout

When the level begins, the Kongs make their way to a set of horizontal ropes. After they reach the bottom of the last rope, they pass some Kobbles to find a large hill. At the top of this hill, they climb down more horizontal ropes, while avoiding Klasps. Going west from there, they walk down the nearby hill and grab the letter K, finding another rope. It leads them down to a long tightrope, where the Kongs need to continue downwards around a small series of pathways. Once they reach the bottom of that area, they travel to the left and drop down some wooden platforms. Going east from there, they collect the letter O and shimmy down a nearby Buzz infested, rope. Continuing along the rocky surface, they can find more platforms to climb down. If they head east after the final platform, they can find the Star Barrel.

About halfway through the level, the heroes trudge down some more ledge to meet a Koin. Unless they want they DK Coin, they should simply travel to the west and slide down another rope, finding the letter N. After that, they walk up a small hill while avoiding enemies to spy the next rope. It guides them to some horizontal tightropes, which they need to fall down from to reach the next area. There, the apes continue along a long, rigid pathway, collecting the letter G, until they find another rope. Climbing down, they end up on a long tightrope in which they need to move across, heading east, and drop onto some wooden platforms. They soon make their way over a straight pathway to a flagpole. Touching the flagpole will end the level.
