Pirate Panic


 * "Pirate Panic" is also the name of a level in Donkey Kong Land 2, see Pirate Panic (DKL2)

Pirate Panic is the first level in the Gangplank Galleon area of Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. The next level is Mainbrace Mayhem.

Description


Pirate Panic takes place on the Gangplank Galleon, at the middle of the day. While progressing through the level, it turns into evening, complete with a sunset. Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong must make it to the end of the ship to finish the level. This level introduces several basic characters and items to get the player accustomed to the setting and controls. Neek are the simple Goomba like enemies. These ship rats are common throughout this level and the game. Klomp replace the Kritter minions as the basic ground unit Kremling. Klobbers are also introduced; these are Kremlings that hide in barrels and will ram the Kongs.

Luckily, the Animal Buddy Rambi the Rhinoceros is featured in this level, similar to how he was featured in the first level of the original Donkey Kong Country. He joins the duo after being freed from his Animal Crate and can charge his way through Kaptain K. Rool's minions effortlessly, making the level easier. The rhinoceros also has a brand new "Charge" ability that can be used to trample over enemies quickly and break through certain areas.
