Sea Turtle

Sea Turtles are a species of animals that live in the oceans of the Pear Kingdom. The turtles are neither allies nor enemies of Donkey Kong, but function as opponents for Donkey Kong to race against. There are three differently colored turtles: light-shaded, medium-shaded, and dark shaded. Each turtle takes a preset path through the race course. The order in which they reach the finish line is as follows:
 * The light-shaded turtle will finish first
 * The medium-shaded turtle will finish second
 * The dark-shaded turtle will finish third.

Finishing the race in first place is not necessary, as Donkey Kong will complete the level regardless. Placing only determines the number of beats Donkey Kong gets.
