[[Squawks]] reappears in the level from his previous appearance in [[Bramble Blast (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Bramble Blast]]. There are two [[animal crate]]s of Squawks appearing in the level: the first one is near the start of the level, on a wooden platform shortly after the Click-Clack and [[Invincibility Barrel|Exclamation Point Barrel]]. The second animal crate of Squawks is after the [[Star Barrel]], shortly after passing the two [[Kannon]] enemies. Squawks himself also appears at the start of the first [[Bonus Level]], although a No Animal Sign prevents him from leaving the area. Aside from Squawks, an [[Animal Barrel]] of [[Squitter]] appears in a secret room directly right of the Star Barrel. The Kongs can access it from the wooden platform beneath the Star Barrel: there is a bramble dividing the platform and a smaller one with a single [[banana]]. The Kongs can easily reach it just by jumping through the bramble dividing the two platforms.

At the beginning of the level, the Kongs must walk down a wooden path and jump over the brambles to reach a horizontal vine. On the way to the vine, they encounter a Krook and a [[DK Barrel]]. A hidden area is behind the entrance to the level, and it contains a [[Barrel Cannon]], the [[K-O-N-G Letters|letter K]], a [[Banana Bunch]], and, in the [[Game Boy Advance]] version of the game, a [[Diddy Barrel]] that can shoot the primates to a [[photograph]]. Once the Kongs reach the aforementioned vine, they encounter several Zingers that they must dodge to progress. One of these Zingers guards a Banana Bunch. There is a vertical vine near here that leads up to a Krook in a small alcove, and then up to a wooden platform that holds a Click-Clack. An [[Invincibility Barrel|Exclamation Point Barrel]] is hidden high above here, and it can help the heroes journey through a bramble-filled pit located just ahead, which leads to a [[Bonus Barrel]]. On the other side of this pit, the heroes can find a trio of spaced-out, wooden platforms that are structured on top of the brambles. A Krook stands between two of these platforms. The third of the three platforms here supports an animal crate containing Squawks. The Animal Friend is required to progress north, where there is a wide path among the brambles that they must travel through.

There are Zingers and Flitters in the way, and one of the Zingers blocks an opening that leads a wide area that contains many bananas, a [[Banana Coin]], and a DK Barrel. Once they pass a pair of Zingers, one of which that is red and therefore indestructible at this point of the level, they reach a DK Barrel in a corner. A path among the brambles is below here, and as the primates travel down it, a Krook throws its hook at them. A pair of red, indestructible Zingers also fly in their way as they descent. At the bottom of the area, they can discover more Zingers and Flitters. Some of these Zingers fly together in circles around the wide passage, much like [[Boo|Boo Buddies]] from ''[[Super Mario World]]''. Upon passing these foes, the Kongs approach a Kannon that shoots [[kannonball]]s below it as it stands in a square-shaped section of brambles. Some bananas and a Banana Bunch float above the foe, but the area around them is much longer and thinner than the one below the enemy. After continuing past the Kannon and a lone Zinger, the primates reach an alcove with the letter O in it. If they head north from here, they come past two more Krook enemies, who throw their hooks at the heroes as they pass. The second Krook stands in front of a thin alcove that holds a pair of Banana Coins. A [[No Animal Sign]] sits on some wooden boards ahead of here, and once it is reached, Squawks disappears and the Kongs are given a Banana Bunch. The [[Star Barrel]] floats in front of a long, vertical vine nearby.

*'''[[DK Coin|Cranky's Video Game Hero Coin]]:''' Just beneath the Star Barrel, the Kongs must jump through a bramble on the right to land on a small wooden platform with a lone banana. From there, the Kongs must jump across a bramble gap to land on the other wooden platform. Squitter's Animal Barrel appears above the platform. As Squitter, it must create web platforms to go up a path, featuring numerous bananas and two Banana Coins in the center. About midway up the path, directly left of the Banana Coins, is a lone banana hovering between a bramble on the left. Squitter must carefully create a web platform to walk through to the banana and enter the other side, where the Video Game Hero Coin appears directly to the left.

*'''[[Golden feather]]''' (GBA version): After the Kongs find the second Squawks in the level, they must fly past a group of red Zingers and continue down the path below. After passing another red Zinger, the Kongs can find the golden feather located at the top-right in a corner above a yellow and a red Zinger. They can safely obtain it by defeating the yellow Zinger, who directly flies up into the golden feather.

*'''[[Photograph]]''' (GBA version): At the very start of the level, the Kongs must jump into an area behind them with a [[Barrel Cannon]] and a [[Diddy & Dixie Barrels|Diddy Barrel]]. When the Barrel Cannon moves to the rightmost corner, the must blast up into the Diddy Barrel, which blasts them slightly above to a hidden [[Blast Barrel]], which then blasts them to the photograph and into another Blast Barrel, which blasts them back down into the Barrel Cannon. The photograph takes up the first half of the eighth page of the [[Scrapbook]], and it shows Diddy using a boombox.
