Risky Reef
This article is under construction. Therefore, please excuse its informal appearance while it is being worked on. We hope to have it completed by February 15, 2011.
Template:KoSBox Risky Reef is a level in the Aqua World area of DK: King of Swing, and also one of the four levels that must be completed to unlock the world's boss level, Sassy Squatch's Lair.
This is the first submerged level and consists of Lockjaws and Shuris who try to attack the Kong. Because of the level being submerged, Donkey Kong (or Diddy Kong in Diddy mode) moves more slowly than on land. Obstacles in this level include barrels, Barrel Cannons, tires, peg boards, and pegs that move in a large circle and sway with the water. As most levels, Risky Reef features a Crystal Coconut, located in a Bonus Level, and a bronze DK Coin.
Level Layout
At the beginning of the level, there are two rows of four single pegs that sway slightly to the left and right. A trio of peg boards are above. A banana rests on each of the three boards. A fourth peg board is above them with two walls around it. Donkey Kong can reach the top of the walls and use them as platforms. Two separate rows of four pegs are on the pair of walls. The pegs sway a little bit with the water. Three stationary pegs are above, and a Lockjaw floats above them. Two peg boards are to the left and right of the foe, with one banana resting on each of them. Trios of pegs are above the two peg boards, and a third trio of pegs is between them higher up. It can help the Kongs climb to a peg board with another banana on it.
Two platforms stand on the sides of the board, and four pegs sway on the left platform. A Bonus Barrel is above a Lockjaw in the center of this area that can be reached with the pegs. When the ape gets in the Bonus Level it leads to, he must use many single pegs placed far apart from each other to cross a large gap, collect many Banana Bunches, and grab a Crystal Coconut at the end of the area. Once he finds his way out of the bonus, he can use the previously mentioned platform to the right of the area to access the second area of the level.
