Overview[]
Donkey Kong Country 2[]
The setting of the stage is on a ship's deck in the middle of the day which progresses to sunset near the end. This stage also features Rambi the Rhinoceros who aids Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong after halfway through the stage. There are nineteen Neeks in the stage (including the three from a Bonus Room) eleven Klomps (including the four in the same Bonus Room) and two Klobbers.
Donkey Kong Land 2[]
Like its semi-sequel, this area takes place once more on a shipdeck. There is also eight Neeks, six Klomps and two Klobbers. As this stage is the very first stage in the game, it has a low amount of difficulty.
Walkthough[]
Starting from the rear section of the ship, the protagonist heads right past the captain's cabin and defeats the game's first Neek and rescue the companion from the DK Barrel. They return to the captain's cabin to read his message, then use the team-up technique to collect the item in the upper-left corner (two invisible banana coins on the GBA or a red balloon depending on the version). Leaving the cabin and returning to the starting point of the level, they can use team-up again to reach a secret barrel and follow a trail of bananas to a banana coin at the end. Further ahead, they can use a box to defeat the first Klomps on top of the barrels and collect the first banana bunch. Soon after, three neeks come in sequence and another stack of barrels with bananas above and the letter K visible.
Passing another DK Barrel, there are more barrels this time with bananas in the shape of the letter R (or A depending on the console), with the golden feather (GBA version) and a banana coin above. Shortly after, on a low deck, two Klomps guard the letter O, with the star barrel right after.
Passing another DK Barrel, and two Neeks, there is a crack opens in the ship revealing a banana in the middle of the trench. Going down it, the character can throw the companion to the left corner revealing a secret banana coin, then head right to a trail of bananas in a hidden part inside the ship to find the first bonus barrel with the first Klobber above.
Exiting it, the character already collects the letter N and comes across a middle-stack of barrels guarded by two Klomps, with Rambi's animal crate above it.
Freeing Rambi, they pass another stack of bananas in the shape of an R, and four more Neeks. The protagonists go down to another low deck, where a stack of bananas forms an arrow pointing to the left can be seen. Using Rambi's super charged attack ability, they crash the door with their horn, revealing the second bonus level. Exiting it, two more Neeks come across on the deck above. Defeating them and climbing the stacked barrels, the DK Coin of the stage can be collected with some more bananas.
After some stairs, two Klomps are patrolling more barrels, above them in the left is the letter G. Next, a Klobber enters the path just ahead, guarding the final passage of an upper deck, followed by the no animal sign, and the end of the stage with a barrel to help the character get the last bananas and hit the end of stage target.
