Gear Getaway

Gear Getaway is the fourth level of Factory world in Donkey Kong Country Returns. It is the 4th Rocket Barrel level in the game.

Layout
Before the Rocket:

The player starts off on a long metallic platform with 2 overhanging lights above it. The 2nd of which contains the 2nd Puzzle Piece, while the first contains a Banana Bunch. At the end of the platform is a DK Barrel, which can be thrown at the wooden block at the beginning to gain access to the first Puzzle Piece. After hopping across some rising and falling metal platforms, (with an Auto-Fire Barrel between them to blast the player to a bonus room), the Kongs must quickly move through some metal blocks that come together, or they will get squished. At the end of the metal passageway is the Rocket Barrel.

Section 1: (Rocket)

The simians will start the rocket and fly through the factory. In this section, there are no enemies and the only obstacles are more of the metal blocks attempting to crush the monkeys between them. There are a few snaking trails of Bananas that lead to more Puzzle Pieces. After a while of doing this, the player will find the first and only Tutorial Pig in the level.

Section 2: (Rocket)

After the first checkpoint, the player must now take more evasive maneuvers to get through the crushing blocks. After a short time of this, Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong will have to dodge some up and down shifting metal blocks, which do not crush the player. The next Puzzle Piece is between a down-coming metal block, and a piece of raised ground, so the player must be careful. After going through a tunnel of that, the player will have to fly between the bars of 3 large gears. The gears are oriented so their sides are facing the screen. Halfway through the giant gears, the 4th KONG Letter will float in surrounded by Banana Bunches. After traversing this, the Kongs are rewarded with a solid platform and the end-of-level barrel just as the rocket runs out of fuel.

Trivia

 * This is the only level in the game without enemies.
 * In the next level (Cog Jog), one of the giant gears from this level is seen sitting at the beginning of the level, having crashed into the platform.
