'''Ugly Ducting''' the twenty-ninth [[level]] of ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'' and the fifth level in [[Tin Can Valley]]. It takes place in a pipeline. During the first half, [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong|Kiddy]] must swim through underwater, where they encounter some [[Lurchin]]s, [[Koco]]s, and [[Bounty Bass]]es. Ugly Ducting has a maze layout featuring paths leading to items such as [[bear coin]]s and a [[Bonus Barrel]]. During the second half, the [[Kong]]s return on land, and they must transform into [[Squawks the Parrot|Squawks]], who must continue by flying up the pipeline, where he encounters [[Buzz (enemy)|Buzz]]es, [[Krimp]]s, and [[Kobble]]s along the way. The [[No Animal Sign]] is near the end of the level, and from there onward, the Kongs must dodge some more Buzzes until reaching the [[Level Flag|End of Level Flag]]. The level's name is a pun on the fable, ''{{wp|The Ugly Duckling}}''.
'''Ugly Ducting''' the twenty-ninth [[level]] in the ''[[Donkey Kong Land (series)|Donkey Kong Land]]'' game, ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. It is also the fifth area of the [[Tin Can Valley]].
==Layout==
At the beginning of the level, the heroes will have to swim through the dark pipeline, traveling up through a narrow pathway. In the next area they will enter, they will have to swim a little bit to the west and follow a trail of three bananas past a few enemies. They will end up swimming through another passageway, then entering another area. There, they will need to grab [[KONG Letters|the letter K]] in a small alcove and head through the water, still going west. After avoiding a few Lurchins in their path, the Kongs will make their way up another opening and find a dry area out of the water. There, they will have to walk to the right to find the [[Star Barrel]].


About halfway through the level, the heroes will have to run up the pathway and jump over a few Buzzes. After hopping over the last Buzz, the monkeys will come up to an [[Animal Barrel]]. Walking into it, the Kongs will be turned into [[Squawks the Parrot]]. Once this happens, the transformed heroes, now having flying abilities, will have to move through another opening and head west. Squawks will find many Buzzes in his path as he travels through the long pathway, though his nut-spitting abilities will be able to defeat each one easily. After finding the letter N, the bird will have to hover downwards into the next area and knock out a few Kobbles. Soon, the parrot will see a short banana trail leading upwards. He should follow it, making his way to the left to find the letter G, and then to the right to find another passageway. Going up the passageway, he will need to pass a [[No Animal Sign]] to his right and transform back into the Kongs. After that, the apes will need to run up another long path and dodge several Buzzes. Once they get over two Krimps, they will find the End of Level Flag.
Taking place in a damp and dark pipeline, the monkeys will begin the level underwater. They will have to swim through the bleak pipeline through the first half of the level, possibly meeting some dead-ends. As they swim through this area, they will encounter the enemies, [[Lurchin]]s, [[Bounty Bass]]es, and [[Koco]]s. In the second half of the level, the monkeys will begin to explore the dry areas of the level. There, they will be able to turn into [[Squawks the Parrot]] and fly through a short maze of pipes. As the bird makes his way around the twists and turns of the level, he will encounter the normal enemies, [[Buzz (enemy)|Buzzes]], [[Kobble]]s, and [[Krimp]]s.

===K-O-N-G Letters===
*K: Found above a Koco encountered shortly after going north at the first fork in the path.
*O: Located southwest of a Buzz near the Star Barrel.
*N: Guarded by a Buzz in the Squawks segment.
*G: Found by going west of a banana trail that leads east, past some Kobbles.


===DK Coin===
About halfway through the level, the heroes will have to run up the pathway and jump over a few Buzzes. After hopping over the last Buzz, the monkeys will come up to an [[Animal Barrel]]. Walking into it, the Kongs will be turned into [[Squawks the Parrot]]. Once this happens, the transformed heroes, now having flying abilities, will have to move through another opening and head west. Squawks will find many Buzzes in his path as he travels through the long pathway, though his nut-spitting abilities will be able to defeat each one easily. After finding the letter N, the bird will have to hover downwards into the next area and knock out a few Kobbles. Soon, the parrot will see a short banana trail leading upwards. He should follow it, making his way to the left to find the letter G, and then to the right to find another passageway. Going up the passageway, he will need to pass a [[No Animal Sign]] to his right and transform back into the Kongs. After that, the apes will need to run up another long path and dodge several Buzzes. Once they get over two Krimps, they will see a flagpole. Touching it will lead them to the [[Stalagmite Frights|next level]].

At the first fork in the path, the Kongs must swim up through a thin opening and then go northeast into a nearby opening. The Kongs can eventually jump out of the water to be in an area with the [[Koin]]. They must pick up a [[Iron Barrel|Steel Barrel]] to the right of Koin and throw it at the left wall behind him. This causes the Steel Barrel to ricochet and hit Koin from behind, which defeats him, and the Kongs obtain the DK Coin.

[[File:Ugly Ducting Bonus Level 2.png|thumb|The second Bonus Level in Ugly Ducting]]
===Bonus Levels===
Ugly Ducting has two [[Bonus room|Bonus Levels]], listed by type:
*After the Kongs swim upwards through the first pipe, they should head down a long pathway through the water. Avoiding many Lurchins and Kocos, the heroes will find a [[Bonus Barrel]] at the end of the pipeline. Swimming into it, they will be lead to the level's first [[Bonus Level]]. There, they will have to collect several stars in another underwater pipeline. Once they scale the whole area and obtain each star, the [[Bonus Coin]] will appear in the top-right part of the special stage.
*'''Collect the Stars!''': After the Kongs swim upwards through the first pipe, they swim left down a long pathway. After avoiding some Lurchins and Kocos, the Kongs can enter the [[Bonus Barrel]] at the end. In the [[Bonus Level]], the Kongs have 30 seconds to collect 19 [[star (Donkey Kong franchise)|star]]s by swimming around an underwater pipeline. When the Kongs get every star, the [[Bonus Coin (Donkey Kong franchise)|Bonus Coin]] appears at the top-right area of the level.
*Once the Kongs turn into Squawks, they should head upwards and avoid a few Buzzes. Entering a bigger area, the parrot will have to fly to the right around a Buzz to find the second Bonus Barrel. It will, as usual, take him to the next Bonus Level, where he will need to fly around the area, defeating each Buzz in sight. Once they area all knocked out, the Bonus Coin will appear at the top-left part of the area.
*'''Bash the Baddies!''': When the Kongs turn into Squawks, he must go up and avoid a few Buzzes. In a larger area, Squawks has to fly to the right of a banana trail that goes west and around a Buzz to find the second Bonus Barrel. In the Bonus Level, Squawks has 20 seconds to fly around and defeat five Buzzes. After defeating the enemies, the Bonus Coin appears at the top-left of the area.

*Once the monkeys enter the straight pathway where the first Bonus Barrel can be found, they will have to swim upwards through a thin opening and then head to the right. They will see another opening nearby. If they travel up through it, they will find themselves out of the water and near a [[Koin]]. The enemy will have the [[DK Coin]], so the monkeys will have to defeat him to get it. To do so, they will need to pick up the barrel to the right and stand on the [[Kremling|Kremling's]] strong shield. If they throw the barrel into the wall, it will bounce back and hit the Koin's side, beating the foe, as well as giving the Kongs the DK Coin.
