Every incomplete level is marked by a black [[Krem Flag]] on the map screen. The [[Kong]]s can supersede it by completing a level and activating its Level Flag. This involves [[jump]]ing and pulling at its rope, which ascends its white flag into the air. As it is raised, the flag changes color based on which Kong pulled it: either pink for Dixie or blue for Kiddy, or purple for Dixie or green for Kiddy if the player is using the [[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!#Super Nintendo version|"COLOR" cheat code]]. The flag also flies if the Kongs obtain every [[Bonus Coin (Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!)|Bonus Coin]] of the level. | |||
The Level Flag appears on the map screen as it appeared when being raised. A gold pennant is also displayed if the Kongs defeat [[Koin]] and claim its [[DK Coin]]. This cannot be seen within a level. The Level Flag artwork shows that "DK" is embedded on the pennant. The status of each Level Flag allows for the player to keep track of which levels were partially or entirely completed. | |||
Once the level is completed, the color of the flag cannot be changed by replaying and completing it with the alternate Kong. However, it is possible in the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake. | |||
In ''Donkey Kong Land III'', the End of Level Flag gets raised automatically if either Dixie or Kiddy walks into it. Because of the [[Game Boy]]'s limited color palette, the raised End of Level Flag is not color-coded based on which Kong finished the level. End of Level Flags also appear at the ends of underwater levels, which does not occur in ''Donkey Kong Country 3''. | |||

*''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' uses a similar method of displaying the levels on the map screen. | *''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' uses a similar method of displaying the levels on the map screen. Uncompleted levels display a black flag with a white symbol. After the player completes the level, the flag gains the character's color and [[emblem]]. The flag turns golden if the player hits its top. Finally, a green star appears at the top of the flagpole if all three [[Green Star]]s of the level are collected. | ||
