Mainbrace Mayhem is the second stage in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and Donkey Kong Land 2 along with being the second stage of Gangplank Galleon. It comes after Pirate Panic and before Gangplank Galley.
Overview
Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest
This stage is the very first stage to take place on the high rigging part of a boat in a pirate ship. It is more advanced than Pirate Panic as gaps get in Diddy and Dixie's way. There are also ropes needed to be climbed in order to get throughout the stage. Five Click-Clacks, seven Klingers, three Klomps and ten Neeks appear as the foes to get in the two primates' way.
Donkey Kong Land 2
Like the semi-sequel, it takes place on the high rigging area of the ship and has pitfalls as obstacles along with ropes needing to be clinged on. It is more advanced in terms of difficulty than Pirate Panic is too, being another similarity between the two games. There are eight Klingers, five Click-Clacks, two Krunchas, seven Neeks and three Zingers.

Special Barrels

The two monkeys must then go to the top-left corner of the rope and jump to find the Warp Barrel. Then, the two are warped to the end of the stage, next to the End of Stage Target.

Trivia
- As the "Jib Jig" theme isn't in Donkey Kong Land 2, it has Lockjaw's Saga replace the theme. The same goes for Topsail Trouble.
- The beta version of Donkey Kong Country 2 shows Mainbrace Mayhem having rain. These codes still exist in the game.
