Tundra Blunda is the seventeenth level in Donkey Kong Land III. and the fifth level of Blackforest Plateau. As a snow-themed level, Tundra Blunda features an icy path and slopes. Like Lemguin Lunge from Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!, Tundra Blunda features Lemguins, which spawn from the holes in the ground indefinitely then belly slide toward Dixie Kong and Kiddy Kong. There are a few pits that the Kongs can go across by jumping from Niknaks. "Blunda" in the level's name is derived from "blunder", changed to rhyme with "tundra".

Layout

When the level begins, the Kongs head down a small slope to find the letter K. While walking down the pathway at this point, they spot numerous enemies, and also jump over a few snow-bound houses. After passing many Skiddas and Krimps, they make their way down another slope and cross a small gap. Shortly after that, they are greeted by the first group of Lemguins. The heroes have to dodge the penguin-like enemies and head over a snow capped house. Once they pass a small gap, they need to make their way up the path, getting over a few small chasms and hopping over some house tops. Eventually, they pass a second tribe of Lemguins to find the Star Barrel.

About halfway through the level, the group has to cross a large gap by bouncing on some Niknaks, and then avoid more Lemguins. Shortly after that, they are up to the challenge of passing two Knockas and then jumping over small alcoves in the ground. One of these alcoves hsd the letter N in it. At that point, they bounce on some more Niknaks to cross another abyss and avoid yet another Lemguin tribe. Walking down a small slope takes the Kongs to the area with the letter G, where they have to head up another small slope and jump over some more Lemguins. After traveling over a rather plain path for a while, they can find a flagpole. One touch of the pole ends the level.

Trivia

• Since the song "Frosty Frolics" from Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! was not included in this Game Boy sequel, the song "Cascade Capers", used in waterfall levels, also plays in Tundra Blunda.
• In later revisions of Donkey Kong Land III (namely English v1.1 and Japanese), a pit was added after the last Steel Barrel at the end.
