Editing Redhot Ride

|song=Hot Head Bop

'''Redhot Ride''' is the ninth [[level]] of ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'' and the fourth level in the second world, [[Krem Cauldron]].

 

Redhot Ride is the second volcanic level in the game, after [[Hothead Hop]]. The level introduces [[Hot Air Balloon]]s, which slowly descend as [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]] ride on them. The [[Kong]]s can bounce on some [[Flitter]]s to get across the lava. [[Rambi]] appears in a brief part of the level. Later in the level, after the [[No Animal Sign]], the Kongs encounter some [[Zinger]]s in mid-air.

The level begins on a slanted pathway with a Neek on it. Behind the starting point, the heroes can find a trio of Zingers that guard a [[treasure chest]] containing a [[Banana Coin|Banana Bunch Coin]]. If the primates make their way to the top of the slanted pathway, they can find a Klobber and a [[DK Barrel]] near a wide pit with a Hot Air Balloon above it. The balloon can help them cross the pit of lava, which is located under a group of bananas that form the shape of an arrow pointing east. If they follow this arrow and a few other bananas before their balloon falls into the lava, they can reach another area of ground that holds a Klampon, [[KONG Letters|the letter K]], and a high piece of ground with a Hot Air Balloon next to it. Once they land on this balloon, it begins to descend. They can use it to hover over a pit and to another balloon, which can then send them to a Zinger with a third balloon next to it. If they manage to jump over the Zinger and land on the balloon, they can make their way over the remaining part of the abyss and reach an section of land that consists of a few ledges with Klobbers on them.

 

A pit with a Hot Air Balloon above it is near here, and the duo must ride along the balloon to reach a second balloon, which is located shortly after a Zinger. This balloon can help them reach an area of land with a DK Barrel above it. A few Flitters hover in a small pit of lava near here, and the primates can bounce on them to cross the pit. On the other side of the pit, they can find a steep hill that they must climb to discover a Hot Air Balloon over a pit. As they cross the abyss with this object, they approach a Zinger and a Flitter with a second balloon to the right of them. If the primates manage to get onto this balloon, they can be led farther into the level above a DK Coin and to another Hot Air Balloon that hovers next to a few Flitters that must be bounced on to cross most of the pit. An additional balloon follows the insects that can be traveled along to reach the letter G and another area of land that holds two Klobbers and a Kruncha, who march under a DK Barrel. Another pit is ahead of here, and two Hot Air Balloons are above it that the Kongs must ride along to reach an [[Red Balloon|Extra Life Balloon]] and one final area of ground. As they hover along these balloons, a Flitter tries to impend in their progress. When the heroes reach the final area of ground, they can find a long pathway leading to a spring, which they must bounce on to complete the level successfully.

|While traveling over the third pit of lava after the Star Barrel, Diddy and Dixie must go on the second Hot Air Balloon and hover to the right. As they continue, the Kongs must jump below to a lone banana, which leads them to the [[DK Coin]] below.

|'''''Collect the Stars!'''''<br>Shortly after passing the first fire pit past the level's Star Barrel, the Kongs must climb up to a slightly higher piece of ground and jump to the left, using Dixie to hover over some of the lava pit with her ponytail. If she hovers far enough, she can reach a Hot Air Balloon that can carry here farther to the left, where a Bonus Barrel is located.  Diddy can also reach the barrel, but he will need to use a well-timed cartwheel jump to reach it.

 

In the Bonus Level, Diddy and Dixie must collect 20 stars while riding a Hot Air Balloon within 25 seconds. If the balloon falls too far before they collect all of the stars, they can simply use another Hot Air Balloon, as there is an unlimited supply of them in the bonus. The Kongs can alternatively jump across the Krockheads in the lava. After collecting all the stars, a Kremkoin appears on the right side for the Kongs to collect.
