Cliffside Slide: Difference between revisions

Many platforms in this level are suspended from the snow that pours down the slope. The [[Kong]]s also must be wary of platforms, particularly bones, that break from their weight. In the second half of the level, they must progress up the mountain through the use of platforms that rise and sink from the snow, as well as flower trampolines, [[vine]]s, and a few [[Barrel Cannon]]s. Toward the end of the level, the slope becomes much steeper, and the Kongs must climb through use of crumbling wooden platforms. Common enemies along the way include [[Tuck]]s, [[Archy|Archies]], [[Big Sphen]]s, [[Walnut]]s, and [[Hootz]].

The beginning of the level leads past a few enemies, such as a Waldough and a Pointy Tuck, and then to a [[Barrel Cannon]] suspended over a pit. A [[Puzzle Piece]] is located in an alcove, hidden behind wooden planks. The Barrel Cannon shoots the Kongs into an area where they must climb up the mountain by use of tilting platforms, which are shaken by the avalanche. The [[K-O-N-G Letters|letter K]] is found in this section above two Pointy Tucks. After the Kongs pass a fire-shooting Archy, another Barrel Cannon is placed to launch them ahead into another Barrel. Two [[Blue Hootz]] circle through the area that the Kongs must shoot through, so they must watch their timing. Afterwards, they land in an area consisting of two trampoline flowers that are followed by a large structure made from wood and bones. [[Donkey Kong]] and the gang must travel quickly to the nearby Barrel Cannon, or else the structure will sink into the snow. On the way to the barrel, a few Tuck enemies stand in the way. The Barrel Cannon, and the one following it, shoot the Kongs to the first checkpoint, located on solid ground.

A second DK Barrel, which includes all three Kong characters, is located ahead of here, where the Kongs travel along a solid, wooden structure with many spikes along it. The Kongs are able to find a Puzzle Piece enclosed in a plant by climbing to a ledge, which can be reached by jumping on a fiery Hootz. After passing a Chum Chucker Charlie, the Kongs can find a Barrel Cannon, which shoots them to a steeper section of the mountain. As they are launched over the abyss, a massive stone fortress crumbles in the background. In this steep section of the mountain, Donkey Kong and the gang must utilize the wooden planks suspended over the avalanche to climb upwards. Additional planks fall toward them as they continue up the slope, and some of the planks break when stood on. A Puzzle Piece is located in a plant towards the top of the area, where the letter G is suspended over a fire-shooting Archy. A Barrel Cannon nearby also shoots the Kongs to a higher section, where they must again use wooden planks and flower trampolines to progress upwards. Two Hootz must be used here to bounce to the next Barrel Cannon. This cannon shoots to a section where the platforms are also occupied by Archies. After passing these enemies and moving ahead, the Kongs enter a series of Barrel Cannons that lead them to a huge, curved wall of vines. The vine structure sinks and crumbles as they climb, so they must quickly advance to the nearby Barrel Cannon. A spiked wheel travels along the vines, but they can knock it off by pounding on the vines. The Barrel Cannon shoots them the remaining distance up the mountain and through a large cloud. Once they exit the cloud, another cannon shoots them to a platform with a small handle on it. The [[Slot Machine Barrel]] appears when the handle is pulled.
