Template:DK64World Frantic Factory is the third level of Donkey Kong 64. It is a rogue toy manufacturing factory in which Chunky Kong is held captive. The area's boss is Mad Jack, and entry to this level requires 15 Golden Bananas. The Nintendo Coin is also obtained here.
Areas
- The Lobby - The main entrance to Frantic Factory, it has a King K. Rool rug in the center and an employee card punch-in station. It leads to the Storage Room, the Testing Department, and Snide's HQ (if both #3 Bananaport Pads are activated).
- Storage Room - Initially, Chunky Kong is in a cage suspended from the ceiling. This room leads to the Production Room, Cranky's Lab, a gated area accessible by Chunky, and the Donkey Kong arcade machine. The power shack is located here.
- Production Room - The largest area of the factory, the Production Room houses a large machine in its center and connects to R&D. Certain platforms and pipes connecting to the machine are only accessible by specific Kongs.
- Testing Department - This area connects to Funky's Store features alphabet blocks that tower to the top of the room.
- R&D - An area at the top of the factory, it is a large room with sub-rooms accessible only by specific Kongs. It also has an entrance to the toy racetrack, where Tiny Kong competes with the Toy Racecar.

- Banana Fairy 2: Tiny Kong must complete a darts game in a room near the "Testing Room", and collect a Golden Banana. A cutscene then shows that a Banana Fairy has appeared outside of Funky's Armory.
- Battle Crown: Donkey Kong must reach the end of a hallway adjacent to the R&D room's upper ledge. There, he must use Gorilla Grab to pull a lever. This opens two steel gates on the floor; one grants DK access to a Battle Arena Pad and the other just has four Banana Coins for Chunky. DK must go on the Pad to transport himself to the "Arena Ambush" match, where he fights two Kritters and a Kasplat at a time. If he defeats enough enemies, he is awarded a Battle Crown.
- Nintendo Coin: Donkey Kong must complete the Donkey Kong arcade game for a second time.
