'''Murky Mill''' is the fifth [[level]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and of the first world, [[Lake Orangatanga]]. It takes place inside a poorly lit mill. [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong|Kiddy]] are transformed into [[Ellie]] for most of the level. She encounters many [[Sneek]]s along the way, and Ellie is required to defeat the ones under direct light, because upon seeing one, Ellie gets scared and quickly turns around.
==Layout==
The level begins next to an elevator that the Kongs must ride up in order to reach a [[DK Barrel]] and a small doorway with an [[Animal Barrel]] in it. Upon entering this barrel, the Kongs are turned into Ellie the elephant, who must continue through the level by traveling east past some Sneeks. On the way, she also passes [[banana]]s, the [[KONG Letters|letter K]], and a Banana Bunch. After dodging a lone Re-Koil, the elephant finds a small gap with a moving platform and a banana bunch in it. At the bottom of the gap, there is an area to the west that she must travel along. Here, she can find a Sneek with a lamp shining light on it. Once she defeats it with the nearby barrel, she passes a few Re-Koils and another Sneek under direct light, who is lifted by a raised platform. If Ellie jumps into the light over this Sneek, she can find a green [[Extra Life Balloon]]. The letter O is located shortly after here above a jumping Re-Koil. Another gap follows here with a moving platform in it. Once Ellie reaches the bottom of it, she must travel east past the sixth Sneek, who is under another light, to reach the [[Star Barrel]].

At this point in the level, Ellie must continue in order to find a Buzz above a trapdoor and a [[Iron Barrel|Steel Barrel]] that can be used to defeat a Sneek under light located nearby. A small platform ahead of here can lead the elephant down to an area with a DK Barrel and a Steel Barrel able to be utilized to defeat a Sneek later in the level, or to beat the [[Koin]] standing nearby. An elevator is next to the Steel Barrel that can lift Ellie up to an additional area with a red Buzz and a Sneek under a lamp. She can discover more red Buzzes in a nearby gap with some small elevators in it. The elevators can help her safely reach the bottom of the gap, where there is a path leading past a few Re-Koils and to a Sneek under direct light. The letter N is just ahead, followed by a Sneek with light shining on it. A barrel is next to the Sneek that Ellie can only reach if she sucks it towards herself with her trunk. An additional gap is placed immediately after the Sneek, and at the bottom, she can discover two separate passages. The passage on the left leads to an [[Blast Barrel|Auto-Fire Barrel]] that can shoot her to a higher area with some green Buzzes, a Steel Barrel, and a [[Bonus Barrel]]. The area to her right contains a red Buzz and a lamp that shines over two Sneeks. A nearby barrel must be used to defeat them. Once she passes these foes, she approaches some Re-Koils and the letter G above a ledge that she must drop down. At the bottom of the ledge, there are two Sneeks next to the light shining from a lamp on the ceiling. A [[No Animal Sign]] follows, and once the elephant passes it, she is turned back into the Kongs, and a [[bear coin]] appears. By pulling on to the [[Level Flag]] nearby, the level is completed, and the Kongs can continue on to [[Belcha's Barn]].

===DK Coin===
[[File:Murky Mill GBA Koin.png|thumb|The location of the Koin, in the Game Boy Advance version]]
Shortly after Ellie passes the Star Barrel, she can find a Steel Barrel next to a vertically-moving platform. To the right, Dixie can find the [[Koin]]. She must throw the Steel Barrel into the opening above for it to bounce off the wall behind Koin and hit him from behind. This causes Koin to be defeated, and the Kongs are rewarded the [[DK Coin]].

==Bonus Levels==
{{multiframe|[[File:Murky Mill Bonus Level 1.png|200px]] [[File:Murky Mill Bonus Level 2.png|200px]]|size=420|The first and second Bonus Levels respectively}}
Murky Mill has two [[Bonus Level]]s, listed by type:
*'''Bash the Baddies!''': After the Star Barrel, Ellie must pass a Buzz flying over a trapdoor, pick up a nearby Steel Barrel, and use it to defeat the Buzz. By falling through the trapdoor, Ellie is caught into a [[Bonus Barrel]]. In the [[Bonus Level]], Ellie has 25 seconds to defeat four Buzzes, who move in circles, using barrels which regenerate. After Ellie defeats the enemies, the [[Bonus Coin (Donkey Kong franchise)|Bonus Coin]] appears.
*'''Find the Coin!''': Shortly after the letter N, Ellie must go down an elevator platform and take the path to the left. She must enter an Auto-Fire Barrel that shoots her up to an area with two Buzzes and a Steel Barrel. The lower Buzz is hovering over the Bonus Barrel, so Ellie must use her suction to move the Steel Barrel onto the Buzz and then enter the Bonus Barrel. In the Bonus Level, Ellie has 15 seconds to reach the Bonus Coin at the end. The Bonus Level takes place on a straightforward path, and Ellie must avoid two pairs of Buzzes that are encircling the path.

==Warp Barrel==
At the start of the level, when the Kongs reach the top of the elevator, they must use a [[team up]] throw to the top-left corner, where a [[Warp Barrel]] is hidden. It takes them to the level exit.

==Trivia==
*[[List of Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! pre-release and unused content|Late previews]] of the game show that Murky Mill would have been in [[Kremwood Forest]], while [[Squeals on Wheels]] was originally in Lake Orangatanga.<ref>''Nintendo Power'' Volume 90, pages 26 and 28-31.</ref><ref>''Nintendo Power'' Volume 91, page 55. "'''''The Pitfalls of Writing on the Kremling Kutting-Edge''' Last month's Donkey Kong Country 3 review gave you exclusive tips for the first half of the game. Since that time, Rare's game developers have made a few modifications to the software. The levels Squeals on Wheels, located in Lake Orangatanga, and Murky Mill, found in Murky Forest''{{sic}}'', have traded places. This switch is a lucky break, since many game players like to collect extra lives in Murky Mill. Now you can do this near the beginning of the game. Nintendo Power will continue to keep you posted on any additional changes prior to the release of the game.''"</ref>
