'''Sunken Spruce''' is the thirty-third [[level]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'', and is only available in the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake of the game. It is also the third area of [[Pacifica]].

This level is unique, as it's set within a group of huge trees that have sunken into a lake. The level's trees are all hollow, so the monkeys can move freely inside of them. Since part of the spruce trees are underwater, the [[Kong]]s will find themselves swimming beneath the trees, maneuvering around many [[Lurchin]]s in the area. The heroes will begin their journey here by swimming downwards on one side of the level, and coming back up by criss-crossing through the trees. In the background of this level, a sunken city resembling ''Atlantis'' can be seen, rather then having other trees in the background like a normal tree level. Next to Lurchins, [[Koco]]s, [[Bounty Bass]], [[Bazza]]s, [[Minkey]]s and [[Buzz (species)|Buzzes]] can be found in the sunken spruce trees.

==Level Layout==
When the level begins, the Kongs will find themselves on a tree branch above the bright water. Walking into the tree trunk to the left, they will head down the area on a short rope and find the exit of the trunk. Once out if the tree, the apes will find themselves slightly in the water. If they walk off of the branch, they will fall into the lake, meeting a few Lurchins. Swimming below the last exit, they should find a round opening into the first tree, which will lead them to a completely sunken area of the tree. Slowing and carefully hovering downwards in the trunk, they will pass some Kocos and soon find another opening to the right. If they go through this opening, they will enter an area outside of the tree, full of many more Lurchins, as well as the letter K. After swimming through another passage nearby, the heroes will make their way into a different tree, where they will pass a few Bounty Basses. At the bottom of the area, they will see a pathway into the neighboring tree. They should take this route and enter the spruce, heading downwards. Once they pass the many Lurchins scattered all around the area, they will make their way out of the tree and swim in a U shape around a short branch. After they pass through the nearest opening, they will arrive in an area full of Bazzas, crossing between the two sides of the tree. The Kongs should exit the tree at its lowest point and travel through a small space outside of the level's two trees. Entering the second tree, the group will dodge some rapidly moving Lurchins and find the way between a third tree through a small opening. They should swim diagonally in this space, following a small trail of bananas, to enter the next tree, where they will find the [[Star Barrel]].

About halfway into the level, the monkeys will begin to travel upwards through the level. After exiting the trunk of the third tree, they will swim through a small area occupied by two Lurchins. On the other end of this area, they will find a small opening, leading into the fourth three. Heading north in this tree, they will pass a few schools of Bazzas until they reach the top part of the area. At this point, the group will need to leave the tree by using a small opening, however, a school of Bazzas will infest much of the space inside of the hole. Sneaking between two of the Bazzas, they should be able to get through and cross back into the third tree. In this tree, the apes will follow a banana trail around the bend and exit the tree to find another area with some Lurchins. Swimming between the two Lurchins will take them inside of the fourth tree again, where they will swim upwards and avoid Kocos and Bounty Basses. After going through the tree's next exit, [[Dixie]] and [[Kiddy]] will head downwards and maneuver around some more Lurchins until they arrive back in the third tree. In this tree, they will dodge some Kocos and find another opening at the bottom of the trunk. Going through the passage, they will find themselves in the area between two trees. If they float between two Kocos there, they will notice an upwards path through the second tree. There, they will dodge a few more underwater enemies and come up to the letter N. Once the item is obtained, they should swim to the surface of the water, where they will climb up a rope. At the top of the tightrope, the heroes will find a pathway between two trees. Inside the neighboring tree, they will spot another opening, leading into a small area infested with two green Buzzes flying in a circle. If they manage to get out of this area and enter the next tree, they will need to climb up another rope to access a higher part of the level. In this space, they will find the letter G high in the air, as well as the way outside of the tree. There, the monkeys will stand on two strong branches near a flagpole. Raising the pole's flag will end the level.

===Bonus Levels===
*After the Star Barrel, the monkeys will enter an area in the fourth tree, where they will meet a school of Bazzas swimming through a small opening. If the monkeys swim between the Bazzas in the opening, they will enter the third tree. Still on the level's main path, they will find a trail of bananas leading out of the tree. The apes should ignore the bananas and continue upwards, passing a group of three Kocos. After passing the enemies, they will find a [[Bonus Barrel]]. It will take them to a [[Bonus Level]], where they will need to swim through the underwater trees, collecting seventy-five stars. Once all the stars are collected, a [[Bonus Coin]] will appear in the bottom-right part of the stage.
*Not too long after the letter N, the heroes will find their way out of the water. Once they get back on the dry part of the spruce trees, they will cross into another tree. There, they will find a vertical tightrope leading into the water. If they climb down the rope and swim through the liquid, they will find a hole leading into an area between two trees. There, they will find a Bonus Barrel, which will guide them into a Bonus Level if they get in it. In this Bonus Level, they will swim between two other trees, dodging several schools of Bazzas. At the top of the area, they will find an opening, leading into a tree. In this tree, they will fall downwards underwater and dodge the Bazzas again as they cross into the tree. At the bottom of the trunk, the heroes will find a Bonus Coin.

===DK Coin===
*At the beginning of the level, the heroes will find a [[Steel Barrel]] right next to them. They should carry this barrel through the nearest tree trunk and head to the branch stretching into the water. There, they will meet the [[Koin]], who will have the [[DK Coin]]. The enemy's shield will protect him from most attacks, so the monkeys will not find any way of defeating him without the Steel Barrel. So, with the barrel in their hands, they should stand on the foe, distracting the [[Kremling]] from anything around it. If they throw the barrel at a wall to the left, it will bounce back and hit the distracted enemy. This will defeat the Koin, thus giving the Kongs the DK Coin.

It takes place within some large, hollow trees submerged underwater. For most of the level, [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong|Kiddy]] must swim to the bottom of a large, hollow tree while avoiding the [[Lurchin]]s along their path. [[Koco]]s, [[Bounty Bass]]es, and [[Bazza]]s are some other aquatic enemies that they encounter. Near the end, the [[Kong]]s must continue going up the trees on land, where they encounter some [[Buzz (enemy)|Buzz]]es and [[Minkey]]s. As the Kongs continue down underwater, the background depicts a sunken city resembling {{wp|Atlantis}}.

+*At the beginning of the level, the heroes will find a [[Steel Barrel]] right next to them. They should carry this barrel through the nearest tree trunk and head to the branch stretching into the water. There, they will meet the [[Koin]], who will have the [[DK Coin]]. The enemy's shield will protect him from most attacks, so the monkeys will not find any way of defeating him without the Steel Barrel. So, with the barrel in their hands, they should stand on the foe, distracting the [[Kremling]] from anything around it. If they throw the barrel at a wall to the left, it will bounce back and hit the distracted enemy. This will defeat the Koin, thus giving the Kongs the DK Coin.
-At the start of the level, there is a [[Iron Barrel|Steel Barrel]] next to the Kongs. They must carry it through the nearest tree trunk and go to a branch stretching into the water. The [[Koin]] is standing on the branch, and to defeat him, the Kongs must stand on his shield and throw the Steel Barrel at the tree on the left so that it bounces off and rolls into Koin. By doing so, the Kongs are rewarded the [[DK Coin]].

-==Bonus Levels==
-[[File:Sunken Spruce GBA Bonus Level 1.png|thumb|The first Bonus Level]]
-Sunken Spruce has two [[Bonus room|Bonus Levels]], listed by type:
-*'''Collect 70 Stars!''': After the Star Barrel, the Kongs enter an area in the fourth tree with a school of Bazzas swimming through a small opening. If the Kongs swim between the Bazzas in the opening, they enter the third tree. The Kongs must continue swimming up the tree, ignoring a trail of bananas leading out. They must swim up past three green Kocos which rapidly move back and forth to enter the [[Bonus Barrel]]. In the [[Bonus Level]], the Kongs have 25 seconds to collect 75 [[star (Donkey Kong franchise)|star]]s within a tree trunk and an open area to the right. When the Kongs collect every star, the [[Bonus Coin (Donkey Kong franchise)|Bonus Coin]] appears at the bottom of the open area.
-*'''Find the Coin!''': Some time after the letter N, the Kongs go back on land. They must walk into another tree and climb down a vertical [[rope]] into the water. The Kongs must swim underwater and then into a hole to the left that goes into an area between two trees. The Kongs can swim above to enter the second Bonus Barrel. In the Bonus Level, the Kongs have 20 seconds to get the Bonus Coin at the bottom of a tree. Dixie and Kiddy start in an open area, and as they go up, the Kongs must avoid numerous Bazzas that swim in the path. They must then go into the opening of a tree and swim down, still avoiding the Bazzas in their path, and collect the Bonus Coin at the bottom.
