'''Coral Capers''' is the fourth [[level]] of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' and of the first world, [[Kongo Jungle]]. It is the first underwater level, taking place in a coral reef. As with other underwater levels, Coral Capers has no Bonus Levels. Coral Capers is the first level where [[Enguarde]] appears, and [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] can optionally ride Enguarde to have him help defeat a variety of aquatic enemies encountered along the way, such as [[Bitesize]]s and [[Chomps]]. A second Enguarde can be found right after the [[Star Barrel|Continue Barrel]].

==Layout==
{{multiframe|[[File:CoralCapers-GBC-1.png]] [[File:Coral Capers DKC GBA.png|180px]]|Coral Capers' appearance in the Game Boy Color version, top, and Game Boy Advance version, bottom|align=left|size=200}}
At the beginning of the level, the Kongs swim through a wide underwater area containing a few Bitesizes and the level's first [[DK Barrel]]. A pathway leading north to the [[KONG Letters|letter K]] and another area is ahead after a pair of Bitesizes. A channel stretching to the right of the letter K allows the heroes to access a square-shaped area with a large, coral structure in the center of it. A Croctopus swims around the area in a circular pattern. Another channel in this area leads to a large, open section with a lone Bitesize in it. An alcove at the bottom of the area, as hinted by a group of bananas shaping a down arrow, is where the [[animal crate]] with Enguarde is located. The swordfish can aid the Kongs as they head north through a long passage, making their way into another square-shaped area with a coral structure in the center of it. A Croctopus circles this structure, which has a [[Red Balloon|Life Balloon]] to the right of it. A channel in the left part of this area leads to a wobbling DK Barrel and a curvy passage that takes the Kongs into a wide section with a few Bitesizes. The [[Star Barrel|Continue Barrel]] is farther into the area, next to a passage facing south.

In the second half of the level, three gaps are above this passage: the one farthest to the left contains a [[Banana Bunch]], the one in the middle holds the letter O, and the alcove on the far right carries a single banana. Once the heroes head down the aforementioned passage, they access another square-shaped section with a piece of land in the center of it. As before, a Croctopus circles the area. An animal crate containing the second Enguarde also sits in the corner of this area, which the heroes can exit with the use of a small channel that helps them reach a wider area with a Chomps Jr. and a DK Barrel in it. A passage facing north immediately follows this barrel with a few Chomps swimming around in it. The heroes can find a hidden pathway over a wall to enter a hidden alcove containing a [[Expresso]] [[animal token|Token]]. Once the heroes reach the top of this passage, they can find the letter N and a channel with a wider area on the opposite side of it. Several Bitesizes swim through here. The long pathway widens even more after they pass a Clambo in an alcove. In this wider section, two structures can be seen in the center of the area with a Croctopus circling them. The Kongs can nab the letter G between them. An exit sign stands nearby, and once the heroes pass it, they complete the level.

===K-O-N-G Letters===
[[File:CoralCapers-SNES-K.png|thumb|The location of the letter K]]
*'''K:''' The letter K is in an alcove at the top of the first passage that faces north.
*'''O:''' The letter O is in a small alcove above a Chomps Jr. next to the Continue Barrel.
*'''N:''' The letter N is located at the top of a passage found immediately after the third DK Barrel in the level.
*'''G:''' Near the end of the level, the Kongs can find an arrow sign pointing to a nearby exit. The letter G is in a small channel nearby around a Croctopus.

===Key items===
*'''[[Photograph]]''' (Game Boy Advance version only): When Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong find the letter G, they must swim directly below it to enter a hidden area with the photograph, which shows a picture of [[Donkey Kong]] for the [[Scrapbook (Donkey Kong Country series)|scrapbook]].

==Warp Barrel==
Coral Capers has a [[Warp Barrel]] exclusively in the [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]]. When the Kongs find the first Croctopus in the level, they must swim down towards it to reach a large area filled with bananas. At the bottom-right of the area, the Kongs can enter into the hidden Warp Barrel, which takes them to the end of the level.
