Diddy Kong in Angry Aztec.
Diddy Kong roaming the desert.

Angry Aztec is the second level in Donkey Kong 64 that can only be accessed once five Golden Bananas have been collected. It is located in the desert, and models the ancient civilization of the Aztec.

Lanky Kong and Tiny Kong are both being held captive in Angry Aztec by King K. Rool, and after they are saved, become playable characters from that point onwards. In this level, Diddy Kong gets the chance to race a vulture on jet packs and free a llama from a cage. The llama later assists the Kongs by cooling a pool of lava with his spit in the Llama Temple. There is also a giant scarab beetle that Tiny races on a large slide. The level's boss, Dogadon, is a giant insect-like dragon (a pun on "dragonfly") that tries to hit Diddy with fire. A notable area in this level is the Five Doored Temple in which the fearsome Kroc Resides.

Trivia

  • The name of this level is a reference to the ancient Aztec civilization, and many aspects of the level are taken from their culture.
  • The fact that llamas are an aspect of this level is not based upon the Aztecs, though, as the Incan civilization, a civilization in the same time period as the Aztecs, raised llamas. The Aztecs, however, did not.
  • Also, the inclusion of a scarab beetle is a reference to Ancient Egypt, who believed the scarab was holy.
  • One of Donkey Kong 64's many secrets: the mysterious picture of a humanoid frog, appears if the player's character moves their head up near the barrel.
