==Summary==
Stampede Sprint is the last jungle level, and [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong|Kiddy]] play as [[Ellie the Elephant]] for a majority of the level. An [[Animal Crate]] of [[Parry the Parallel Bird]] is nearby, and Parry can help collecting items in midair such as [[banana]]s and [[bear coin]]s. [[Squawks the Parrot|Squawks]] and [[Squitter the Spider|Squitter]] briefly appear in two respective [[Bonus Level]]s at the start. After blasting to the next platform, Ellie encounters three [[Sneek]]s, causing her to freak out and run across the level uncontrollably. In the [[Game Boy Advance]] version, Ellie runs a bit slower.
 
As Ellie runs uncontrollably, the player cannot control her movement except for her jumps. Due to her fast movements, Ellie has little time to anticipate incoming enemies or obstacles. Throughout the level, Ellie has to jump over abysses and avoid various enemies in the jungle, including [[Bristles]], [[Buzz (enemy)|Buzz]]es, [[Kuff 'n' Klout]] (in their debut), and [[Krimp]]s. Buzzes are usually out of reach but still harm Parry upon contact. If Parry crosses the [[No Animal Sign]] at the end, it turns into a one-chance [[Bonus Barrel]]. Similarly, if Ellie passes her No Animal Sign, she transforms into a [[Iron Barrel|Steel Barrel]], which is needed to defeat [[Koin]] beyond the [[Level Flag]].

==Layout==
The level starts with a [[DK Barrel]] hovering in midair. With both Kongs in play, [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] must take the lead and use her [[Helicopter Spin]] to glide across a large abyss. On the other side of the gap, they land into an [[Animal Barrel]], which turns them into Ellie the Elephant. After this, the elephant will need to hit a crate with Parry the Parallel Bird to free him. Once this is done, she jumps into a nearby barrel and blasts over a gap to the next part of the level. There, she meets a group of three Sneeks, who frighten her, causing the elephant to run. Ellie automatically runs through the level, passing some enemies, such as [[Bristle]]s, and crossing gaps. The elephant makes her way over many, many more obstacles at high speed, eventually meeting Kuff 'n' Klouts running towards her. After crossing several gaps, she heads under some Buzzes and over a few other enemies to find the letter N. Farther on, Ellie travels over several more Kuff 'n' Klouts. After that, she runs through an area full of Bristles as she moves under Buzzes. Once she passes a few more Kuff 'n' Klouts, she finds the letter G and hop into another barrel. It blasts her to a safe area. If Parry is still safe, she turns into a Bonus Barrel. Farther on, the Kongs pass a [[No Animal Sign]] and turn back into the Kongs. The Kongs then reach the [[Level Flag]].

Stampede Sprint has three [[Bonus Level]]s, listed by type:
!Type and description
*'''''Grab 15 Bananas!''''': At the very start of the level, Kiddy must perform [[team up]] and throw Dixie above into the hidden [[Bonus Barrel]]. In the [[Bonus Level]], the Kongs are transformed into Squitter, who must use his web platforms to collect 15 [[green banana]]s over a small abyss within 45 seconds (or 40 in the remake). After the Kongs collect all of the green bananas, a [[Bonus Coin (Donkey Kong franchise)|Bonus Coin]] appears at the other end. A No Animal Sign for Squitter is just outside the Bonus Level.

*'''''Grab 15 Bananas!''''': Just before the first DK Barrel, Kiddy can perform team up and throw Dixie into the hidden Bonus Barrel above. In the Bonus Level, the Kongs must break Squawks's Animal Crate and ride him. They have 45 seconds to collect 15 [[green banana]]s around two red Buzzes. After the Kongs collect the bananas, a Bonus Coin appears. A No Animal Sign for Squawks is just outside the Bonus Level.
|[[File:Stampede Sprint GBA Bonus Level 1.png]]
*'''''Grab 15 Bananas!''''': After Ellie passes the No Animal Sign for Parry, it turns into a Bonus Barrel. Ellie has a single chance to complete the Bonus Level challenge within. Like the first and second Bonus Levels, the objective also involves collecting 15 green bananas, though in a 40-second time limit (or 25 in the remake). Parry briefly returns in the Bonus Level to help Ellie collect the green bananas. After the Kongs collect enough green bananas, the Bonus Coin appears.

After the Kongs collect all of the Green Bananas, a [[Bonus Coin]] appears at the other end. In the Game Boy Advance remake, the time limit was shortened to 40 seconds, and the area was made the smaller, making the bananas appear closer together. A No Animal Sign for Squitter is just outside the Bonus Level.

Stampede Sprint is the thirty-sixth level in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! and the first level of Krematoa. In the Game Boy Advance remake, due to the inclusion of Pacifica, Stampede Sprint is instead the forty-second level. Stampede Sprint is the last jungle level, and Dixie and Kiddy play as Ellie for a majority of the level. An animal crate of Parry is nearby, and Parry can help collecting items in midair such as bananas and bear coins. Squawks and Squitter briefly appear in two respective Bonus Levels at the start. After blasting to the next platform, Ellie encounters three Sneeks, causing her to freak out and run across the level uncontrollably. During this, the player cannot control her movement except for her jumps. Due to her fast movements, Ellie has little time to anticipate incoming enemies or obstacles, but she still has to jump over pitfalls and enemies along the way. Buzzes are usually out of reach but still harm Parry upon contact. If Parry crosses the No Animal Sign at the end, it turns into a one-chance Bonus Barrel. Similarly, if Ellie passes her No Animal Sign, she transforms into a Steel Barrel, which is needed to defeat Koin beyond the Level Flag.
