Sloppy Sands

Sloppy Sands is the second level of the Beach, unlocked after finishing Poppin' Planks. By finishing this level, Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong can get to the third level of the area, Peaceful Pier.

Level overview


The level's initial area is a beach, much like the first level. Various Snaps and Pinchleys are fought, in addition to the new enemy Squidly. The Squidly are fired out of turrets, and can be jumped on to gain height. Certain collectibles and secrets can be found by using the height boost brought by jumping on Squidlies. In addition, this level features wooden crates that, when Ground Pounded, activate another set of crates to appear out of the sands.

Donkey and Diddy will eventually stumble upon a DK Button. When ground pounded, it uproots a sunken castle, and at the top of it lies the end of the level. After jumping into a Barrel Cannon they will be launched to the bottom. Inside the castle are many Squidly enemies and Cling-able walls. The duo need to dodge the squids and climb the walls in one piece. Right before the top, they have to get into a barrel cannon and launch when there are no Squidly in the way to reach the exit.
