Rocket Barrel Ride

Rocket Barrel Ride is the second level of the Cotton Top Cove area. It takes place alongside the large waterfalls of the area.

Summary
As the title suggests, this level incorporates the Rocket Barrels as a means of transportation throughout points of the level. Dixie Kong and Kiddy Kong will need to get past Baron K. Rool's minions during the walking segments and use the rocket barrels to get to the upper areas. The waterfalls in the background can be walked in front of, or in certain areas behind. Sometimes, a rocket barrel can be found when going behind them.

Parry the Parallel Bird makes his second appearance in the latter parts of the level. As his name suggests, he flies parallel to the Kongs and goes higher up when the Kongs jump. If the Kongs can avoid getting Parry harmed by the various Buzz, they will be rewarded with a rare Blue Extra Life Balloon, which is worth three additional lives.

Bonus Levels

 * Collect 20 Stars! -- Dixie/Kiddy will have 15 seconds to hop into some rocket barrels and gather some gold stars as they ascend the waterfall. The stars are along the way of going up, but there is little time to dilly-dally.
 * Collect 60 Stars! -- This time around, there are many more stars scattered over a waterfall and the booster barrels are used to go horizontally to get the stars. There is a more generous time limit of 35 seconds.
