Minky Mischief

Minky Mischief is the first tree level in Donkey Kong Land III.

Summary


This level in the second level of Primate Plains. As the name implies, it features Minkies, but also features Nids, Sneeks, Buzzes, and Bristles. Squawks also appears for the first time. Minky Mischief takes place inside large hollowed out trees, where the enemies usually reside. It is similar to Barrel Shield Bust-Up because there are shields to block attacks from the Minkies. The Nids will help Dixie and Kiddy reach higher areas. Most of the latter part of the level is Squawks avoiding Buzzes. During the Squawks segment, there are several secret items that can be found, including an Extra Life Balloon, a Bear Coin, in addition to bonus levels.

Enemies

 * Minky
 * Nid
 * Sneek
 * Buzz
 * Bristles

Items



 * Bear Coins - 1
 * DK Coin - The tree that houses the Koin can be seen shortly before finishing the level. An invisible Cannon Barrel, hinted at by the floating Bananas, must be jumped into to launch the Kongs to reach Koin, where the Tin Barrel can be bounced off either wall to attack its back.
 * DK Barrel - 3
 * Extra Life Balloons - 1
 * KONG Letters
 * K: In between two Buzz enemies.
 * O: Above a Bristles.
 * N: Near a Buzz going in between two trees.
 * G: Shortly after transforming back into Dixie/Kiddy, a Nid should launch the Kong high enough to reach the "G".

Bonus Barrels
The Kongs should start by climbing the first rope (dodging a Buzz in the process), then going all the right until they can no longer go in that direction (skipping the second rope). The Kongs should then drop down (making sure to avoid the Buzz). Next, they should go right onto the third rope and descend it. Finally, go left, and the Bonus Coin will be here. (It is possible to drop down the pit by accident while collecting the coin, but it will still count regardless.) After leaving the bonus level, the Kongs will transform into Squawks once again.
 * Just before the Star Barrel. There is a Buzz inside the tree which hints to it; the Kongs must fall from the left side of the tree. The Bonus Barrel is here. First the Kongs must jump on Nids to get up to the top, then collect 22 stars in 20 seconds by descending outside the tree.
 * When using Squawks, there is a tree with a banana arrow pointing to the right, about halfway between the N and G. The arrow should be ignored, and Squawks should instead fly up, dodging three Buzzes. The Bonus Barrel is here, along with a Squawks barrel to replenish health. The bonus itself consists of a complicated maze where the Kongs have to find the Bonus Coin in 40 seconds, along with a No Squawks sign at the beginning.
