Sloppy Sands: Difference between revisions

The level begins with a straight pathway along the sand leading to two wooden pillars sticking out of the ground. When the Kongs pound on the pillars, they fall under the surface and another pair of pillars shoots out of the ground near a Snap enemy. The new pillars can help the Kongs reach a higher platform with the first [[DK Barrel]] and a small hill with Snap enemies infesting it. A trio of pillars are after a Squid Shot that the primates can pound into the ground to make another three pillars appear nearby, shooting out items, including a [[Puzzle Piece (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Puzzle Piece]], as they emerge. They can help the Kongs reach a wooden platform with these collectibles on it. There is a cannon ahead of the Kongs that can be pounded on to blast a cannonball at a mast in the background. A treasure chest is on the mast that lands in the foreground, spilling out four [[Banana Coin]]s when it breaks.  

The heroes are able to find a small plant growing between two Squid Shots ahead, and it gives an item when blown on. There are also many [[banana]]s between the Squid Shots, as well as after them right before another two of these foes. A second treasure chest is after the two Squid Shots that contains an [[Extra Life Balloon]]. As the primates try to grab it, squids shoot from a nearby Squid Shot and try to hit them. A raised, wooden platform is after this, with special items placed above and below it. A trio of pillars also stands ahead of the previous Squid Shot, with two more Squid Shots piled up on each other next to it. More pillars appear closer to the squid-shooting enemies when the heroes pound these pillars into the ground. The new pillars can help them jump over the Squid Shots and travel to a bridge area that is above the water. The [[Tutorial Pig]] is on it, along with the first checkpoint.

The buckets, again being pulled by a group of convey belt-like ropes, are able to aid the Kongs in reaching another high platform after pulling them past many bananas and Banana Coins. More platforms are above this, and a Squid Shot shoots from the side of the area nearby here. When the primates climb the platform, they can find grassy turf on both walls. The turf on the right leads to the next area, but it is too high to reach. So, the Kongs must first grab onto the turf on the left to reach it. While on the left turf, they must jump on a spinning wheel between the walls to be pulled next to the wall on the right. When they reach this wall, they can climb past some squid enemies being shot by nearby Squid Shots in order to reach a moving platform. This platform has the ability to carry them to another wall of turf that leads to a treasure chest and a group of platforms above it. Buckets moving across the area on ropes are above the last platform that can be used to reach a Barrel Cannon. The cannon shoots the Kongs outside of the tower on its roof, where a [[Slot Machine Barrel]] is present; the level is complete when the barrel is hit.

===K-O-N-G Letters===

*N: The letter N is in the air immediately before the second checkpoint next to some crates. The Kongs must bounce on squid enemies to reach it.

*G: At the beginning of the tower area, the letter G is on the bottom of the second wall of grassy turf near a Squid Shot.

===Puzzle Pieces===

#The first Puzzle Piece is behind the level's start in an alcove, but it is covered by a wooden wall. If the wall is hit with the nearby DK Barrel, it breaks and opens a path to the Puzzle Piece.

#Shortly after the first Puzzle Piece, a trio of pillars can be pounded into the ground to reveal another group of pillars nearby under a platform. When the pillars emerge, a Puzzle Piece comes out of the sand with it and lands on the platform.
