Editing Misty Mine

}}

'''Misty Mine''' is the thirty-first level in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' and the third level of [[Chimp Caverns]]. Misty Mine takes place in a mine with a light fog, although it does not affect the gameplay. There are several [[black drum]]s along the way, which spawn various enemies including [[Gnawty|Gnawties]], [[Slippa]]s, [[Klaptrap]]s, and [[Army|Armies]]. There are also long vertical [[rope]]s which [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] can grab onto for the rope to start moving them across a gap. Misty Mine is unique in that all of its [[KONG Letters|K-O-N-G Letters]] are collected in the first [[Bonus Level]] if the [[Kong]]s swing from a rope. There is an [[animal crate]] of [[Expresso the Ostrich]] at the end of the first Bonus Level, and the Kongs can break it open to ride Expresso for the remainder of the main level. Its theme "Misty Menace" is named after the level, though it also plays in [[Stop & Go Station]].

All of the K-O-N-G Letters are found in the first Bonus Level.

*The letter K can be collected if the Kongs stay at the top of the rope.

*The letter O by sliding to the bottom of the rope.

===Key items===

==Bonus Levels==

Misty Mine has two [[Bonus Level]]s, listed by their type in the Game Boy Advance version:  

*'''''Find the Exit!''''': After passing the Continue Barrel, the Kongs must grab a long rope and travel to the bottom of it. The rope stops next to a ledge with an opening which leads into the first [[Bonus Level]]. There, the Kongs must ride a rope and climb up and down the rope to collect the K-O-N-G Letters and follow a trail of bananas that are arranged in a circle shape. The rope stops at a small ground platform with an Expresso Crate and the level exit. The Bonus Level can be re-entered more than once.

*'''''Stop the Barrel!''''': Shortly after completing the first Bonus Barrel, the Kongs find a TNT Drum just before a black drum which spawns Klaptraps. The Kongs must jump over the Klaptraps and the black drum and carry the TNT Drum into the right wall of a small alcove shortly after. In the Bonus Level, there are three barrels which alternate between each four types of [[Kong Token]]s. By matching the [[animal token]] on each barrel, the Kongs are awarded that animal token. They return into the main level after either winning or losing the challenge.

==Trivia==

*There is a glitch where the Kongs can lose a life. If Diddy does a cartwheel jump at the rope when it goes offscreen, he falls through the floor and loses a life. This glitch is present in neither of the remakes.
