An '''End of Level Target''',<ref>''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' instruction booklet. {{media link|DKC2 Manual 16-17.jpg|Page 17}}.</ref><ref>''Donkey Kong Land 2'' instruction booklet, page 14.</ref> also known as an '''exit target''',<ref>M. Arakawa. ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' Player's Guide. Page 19.</ref> is an object found in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. One is found at the end of every non-boss [[level]], hence the name, and End of Level Targets switch between a few prizes, one of which the [[Kong]]s can possibly acquire. The End of Level Targets were replaced with [[Level Flag]]s in both ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''.

An End of Level Target works very similarly to a {{wp|High striker|strength tester}} game. If the Kongs land on the target from a high enough position, the attached lever causes the [[barrel]] to rise to the top of the pole. This gives them one of several roulette-style scrolling prizes, including a [[Red Balloon]], [[KONG Letters|the letter G]], a [[Banana Coin]], a [[Banana Bunch]], a [[banana]], or sometimes even one of [[DK Coin|Cranky's Video Game Hero Coin]]s. The Video Game Hero Coin of [[Web Woods (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Web Woods]], in particular, flashes by faster than the other prizes.

If [[Diddy Kong]] collects a prize, he briefly brings out a boombox and starts rapping, whereas with [[Dixie Kong]], she briefly performs on an electric guitar. If no prize is won, a brief fanfare plays instead. Diddy's rap, Dixie's guitar, and the brief fanfare all vary based on the level's music.

 

In ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', the End of Level Target is a trampoline-like object, also called the '''Goal Target''',<ref>''Donkey Kong Land 2'' Nintendo 3DS [[Virtual Console]] electronic manual. Tab 9: "Progressing Through Stages".</ref> which does not yield a prize. When the active Kong [[jump]]s on the target, it bounces them out of the level.
