Mine Cart Carnage: Difference between revisions

}}

'''Mine Cart Carnage''' is the seventh level in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' and the second level of [[Monkey Mines]]. It takes place in a mine shaft where [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] must ride a [[Mine Cart]] across a series of rail segments. The segments are divided by gaps, which the [[Kong]]s must jump over, and some of the longer jumps allow them to collect [[Red Balloon|Life Balloon]]s along the way. The Kongs must jump over many tipped Mine Carts along the tracks throughout, though some were removed from the original Japanese version. During the second half of the level, the Kongs encounter many [[Krash]]es, the only enemy in the level, including one just before the [[exit]].

==Layout==

The Kongs begin the level on a solid ledge with a [[DK Barrel]] and a [[Blast Barrel]] on it. The Blast Barrel can blast the primates over an abyss and onto a mine cart, which immediately begins to pull them through a trail of [[banana]]s and down a hill to a few more bananas floating in the air. After dropping off of the edge of the track and landing on a separate track, they are lead up a hill towards a pit with the [[KONG Letters|letter K]] hovering above it. A large hill with another small pit at the end of it follows here, with a separate track after it that the primates must jump to so they do not fall. Three more pits separating a trio of solid platforms are ahead. Once the Kongs cross them all, they ride down a steep hill and approach two more pits. They find themselves on a higher platform each time they cross one of the abysses. After they cross the pits, they ride downwards and encounter another pit that is followed by the letter O and a large hill. As the cart wheels the heroes down this hill, they come past a small pit with a Banana Bunch in it. They then ride up a smaller hill, where another abyss is present. Another hill follows the pit, but a large piece of it is broken off. A small section of the track is left between the two broken parts of it, and it holds an [[Enguarde]] [[animal token|Token]]. After passing this broken piece of the track with the smaller track in the center of it, the primates ride down a straight, bumpy railway with another track hanging above it. The level's [[Star Barrel|Continue Barrel]] and a DK Barrel can be found here.
