'''Loopy Lights''' is the thirty-second level in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', as well as the fourth level of [[Chimp Caverns]]. In the [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Color)|Game Boy Color version]], Loopy Lights is instead the fifth level due to the game adding another level, [[Necky Nutmare]], making Loopy Lights the thirty-third level overall instead. Similarly to [[Stop & Go Station]], Loopy Lights takes place in a mine and has barrels that affect the environment of the level, in this case, [[On & Off Barrel]]s, which affect the lighting. By default, the barrels are set to 'Off', which makes the whole area dark. This effect is similar to [[Blackout Basement]], although in Loopy Lights, the enemies' eyes remain visible. [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] can jump at the barrels to temporarily turn on the lights, allowing them to see the path ahead. The Kongs must avoid [[Kritter]]s and [[Zinger]]s along the way and jumping [[Klaptrap]]s. There is also a [[Manky Kong]] at the end. In the [[Game Boy Color]] and the [[Game Boy Advance]] remakes, while dark, the level is far more visible than in the original version.

Another wide abyss is ahead, but the Kongs can cross it with the aid of two small platforms that move across it. On the other side of the pit, they can find a barrel switch and a purple Klaptrap, who is followed by a smaller abyss containing a stationary platform with a tire sticking out of it. The Kongs encounter two more purple Klaptraps on the opposite end of the pit, and a tire sits between them, which can help the two primates bounce to a barrel switch high in the air. Six small platforms float in an abyss near here. The primates can use the stationary platforms to cross the wide pit and access an area containing a barrel switch on a high piece of ground. Purple Klaptraps march nearby at a lower elevation, which is followed by a small pit with another barrel switch above it. Several large, solid platforms stand ahead of here. The first of the platforms holds a group of [[banana]]s, while the [[KONG Letters|letter O]] can be found between the second and third platforms. A few purple Klaptraps also travel through this area, which is followed by a long pathway leading to a barrel switch and the level's [[Star Barrel|Continue Barrel]].

===K-O-N-G Letters===

[[File:LoopyLights SNES 4.png|thumb|The location of the letter G]]

*'''K:''' The letter K is at the end of the first Bonus Level.

*'''O:''' The letter O is located in a small gap shortly before the Continue Barrel and after a pair of Klaptraps. The Kongs can perform a roll jump to safely collect it.

*'''N:''' The letter N is placed on the edge of the second platform in the second Bonus Level.

*'''G:''' Near the end of the level, the Kongs encounter several Zingers. One of the Zingers flies vertically at the letter G.

*'''[[Photograph]]''' (Game Boy Advance version only): When starting the level, Donkey Kong and Diddy must go left to find a [[photograph]] behind the entrance. The photograph shows a picture of the Kongs in a mine shaft, and it appears in the sixteenth page of the [[Scrapbook (Donkey Kong Country series)|scrapbook]].

*'''Find the Exit''': At the start, when the Kongs come up to the first pit, they must jump down to a banana in the pit to land in a [[Bonus Barrel]]. The [[Bonus Level]] is similar to the first one of [[Barrel Cannon Canyon]] except with an On & Off Barrel at the start; the Kongs must blast between some [[Barrel Cannon]]s, and collect a few bananas and two Banana Bunches on the way. The letter K is between the last two Barrel Cannons. The Kongs can exit the Bonus Level by either falling into the pit or exiting from the opening on the rightmost platform.

*'''Find the Exit''': Shortly after the Continue Barrel, the Kongs encounter three bouncing Klaptraps. Afterward, they must go up some stairs to encounter a perched Necky over an On & Off Barrel. The Kongs must pick up the barrel and run down a few more stairs while avoiding the nuts thrown by the Necky. The Kongs must jump over a small gap and put down the barrel under an On & Off Barrel. They must then jump on a nearby bouncing Klaptrap, then go back to the barrel, pick it up, and run it into the wall to make an opening into the second Bonus Level. Here, the Kongs must jump at an On & Off Barrel to turn on the lights, and then they must jump from a few ground platforms until reaching the exit. An item is at the right edge of each platform, in order of a banana, a Banana Bunch, the letter N, an Expresso Token, and lastly a Life Balloon. The Kongs can reach the Life Balloon by bouncing from a half tire in the ground, which is also used to bounce up to the last platform which has a few bananas on the ground which lead to the exit.
