Torchlight Trouble

Torchlight Trouble is the fifth level of Gorilla Glacier and fourth cave level in Donkey Kong Country. This is also the first and only appearance of Squawks the Parrot. The area is pitch dark and Squawks helps Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong along the way with a torchlight in his talons. The area is also infested with Oil Drums and mincers.

Layout
From the start of the level, Squawks will meet up with Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong. They need to hop platform to platform, while defeating some Klumps and jumping over some Oil Drums. Then they will need to climb onto a platform that helps them cross an abyss. Then, the Kongs must jump to another platform to cross an abyss and repeat this step again. Then the Kongs must jump over Oil Drums while on the next platform and jump to reach the Star Barrel. Next, the Kongs must crawl under a wall and walk over a bumpy path and jump over many Mincers and Krushas. Next, they need to jump on a platform leading them up the high ledge. After that, the Kongs must jump over a few more foes until reaching the exit sign.

Bonus Levels

Inside, the barrels cycle through bananas, banana bunches, and red balloons. The Kongs must match all three barrels to win the prize shown.
