'''Red Red Rising''' is the sixty-second level in the games ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]''. It is also the seventh level in the [[Volcano]] world.

This level takes place in a lava-filled volcano, full of collapsing ground and platforms that shoot out of the [[lava]]. [[Donkey Kong|Donkey]] and [[Diddy Kong]] must carefully jump from one platform to another while avoiding the lava below them. About halfway through the level, the [[Kong]]s must climb up this rocky tower while avoiding the oncoming lava that is rising. Completing the level leads to the Volcano's boss stage, [[Tiki Tong Terror]], where the Kongs face the [[Tiki Tong|final boss]] of the game.

In the [[Donkey Kong Country Returns#Time Attack|Time Attack]] mode of the game, a time of 1:29:00 is needed to get a gold medal, a time of 2:02:00 for silver, and a time of 2:21:00 for bronze.
==Overview==
The level begins with a straight pathway leading towards a wide pit of lava. Small platforms shoot in and out of the lava repeatedly. Using these platforms, the Kongs must cross the pit. When they reach the final platform in the pit, a giant piece of land falls in front of them into the remaining section of lava. Before it sinks, they can use it to progress to a solid platform near another lava pit. A [[Banana Coin]] is above the platform. Four separate platforms shoot in and out of the pit ahead. When the primates cross the lava, they find themselves in an area of four basalt platforms. Flaming Tiki Buzzes fly between each of the sinking, [[banana]]-covered platforms, except for the second and third one. A solid platform sits on the lava after the final basalt platform. More platforms shoot in and out of the lava in the pit ahead of it. After they cross this pit, with the aid of the piece of land, they reach a platform with [[Professor Chops]] and the checkpoint on it.

A trio of basalt platforms are ahead of the checkpoint, with a Flaming Tiki Buzz between the second and third platform. When the Kongs reach the last of the three platforms, the lava begins to rise. Just before it covers the platform the primates are standing on, a piece of the wall moves towards them. They can get on the new platform to progress to another platform nearby in the middle of the area. When they land on this platform, another piece of the wall emerges towards them that they can use to climb. It is followed by another piece of ground that appears out of the opposite wall. As they climb this, another platform slowly emerges from the wall on the right. It is far away, so they must bounce on a Tiki Buzz in the middle of the area to reach it. When they get onto the platform, they can find another Tiki Buzz that they can jump on to reach a higher platform. More platforms appear around the center of the area when they land on it, allowing them to climb upwards to a stone ceiling. 

The ceiling blocking their path opens eventually, enabling them to climb the area above with more platforms that do not appear until they land on the platform previous to it. Soon, Donkey and Diddy make their way to a section full of stationary platforms. The letter O and some other collectibles are on a few of these platforms, but there are also dozens of fireballs moving along them. If the heroes manage to dodge them, they can access a higher area with both walls moving back and forth around them. Basalt sticks out of the walls that they can stand and climb on. They can travel upwards with the help of the basalt platforms and then reach a lone platform hanging out of the wall with a Tiki Goon on it. A piece of the wall juts out of the opposite wall that this platform is placed on. A Tiki Goon is on this wall, along with a [[Banana|Banana Bunch]]. When the Banana Bunch is grabbed, another chunk of the wall tilts towards the primates, allowing them to climb more of the tall level portion. Three Tiki Goons appear on the platform as they approach, and small platforms also appear above. If they continue upwards with them, they can access a section with a trio of platforms. A fireball bounces on the three platforms. Another platform with a [[Puzzle Piece (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Puzzle Piece]] above it also emerges from the wall under the fireball enemy.

More platforms are against the wall on the left that the duo can use to reach a gap in the air with two Tiki Buzzes flying in it. More platforms are on the other side of the enemies that the heroes must reach. As they climb these platforms, they climb up to a Tiki Tank at the bottom part of a series of platforms. The letter N is on another one of the platforms here. If they continue high enough, they reach another area with basalt platforms connected to a walls that moves back and forth. They must use the platforms to progress. As they jump along them, they come up to a Banana Bunch and even a Puzzle Piece. When they reach the highest basalt platform here, they can find a [[Barrel Cannon]]. The cannon blasts them higher into the level, where the lava begins to rise faster. It also blasts them into an area full of more Barrel Cannons. As they primates shoot from cannon-to-cannon, they blast through banana trails and the letter G. When they reach the final Barrel Cannon here, they are shot into the [[Slot Machine Barrel]] straight above it. When the barrel is hit, the level ends.

|Near the end of the level, when the Kongs are blasting rapidly through the Barrel Cannons, the letter G can be found sliding along with a row of bananas. They need to wait just for a second in the Barrel Cannon to allow the letter to cross between the Kongs and the next barrel when they shoot.

|When the Kongs land on the large platform sinking into the lava after the first area of projecting platforms, they should pay attention to the lava pool to the left. When a small section of it begins to bubble, they should prepare to jump above it. With good timing, they can ride on top of the platform that shoots out from the lava bubbles by jumping at the right time. The platform rises high enough to lead them into a [[Bonus Level]], where they must shoot through a moving Barrel Cannon to collect fifty-seven bananas, two Banana Coins, and an [[Extra Life Balloon]]. If everything is collected within thirty seconds, a Puzzle Piece appears.

|Shortly after the first and only checkpoint, the heroes begin to climb up some platforms that only appear after they land on the platform previous to them. As they climb the first few of these, a ceiling stands in their way. Once it moves out of their path, they can see the Puzzle Piece to the left of the area.
