At the beginning of the level, the Kongs can find a Gnawty walking on a cylindrical platform with a [[rope]] hanging next to it. After passing a [[TNT Barrel]] in a gap, they can find a pair of Kritter hopping up some stairs. The first [[DK Barrel]] here wobbles at the edge of a ledge nearby. An Oil Drum with a hot flame on it stands in front of the ledge. Two Kritters hop in an area below it, moving away from a small gap with the [[K-O-N-G Letters|letter K]] above it. An Oil Drum sits on a raised platform ahead that the Kongs can only get onto if they use a bouncy tire. The primates can find some stair like structures ahead with a trio of Gnawties on them. A ledge is at the end of this area.

If the duo drops down it, they can find a tire that can be used to jump over an Oil Drum at a higher elevation. Another tire follows this drum with a second Oil Drum after it. Once they hop over this, they come up a small stairway with [[banana]]s along it. Stair-like structures leading farther down the area area ahead. Gnawties are on some of the stairs, and an Oil Drum is on every other ledge. A DK Barrel is located in the ground after the last stair platform. The two friends can find a small gap nearby with a Kritter hopping next to it on some smaller stairs. It is followed by an [[Auto Fire Barrel]] that shoots the heroes onto a high area. Here, the primates can find sets of small stairs leading towards a flat pathway with a few Oil Drums in it. Kritter jump up the stairs. They soon come up to the flat pathway, supporting four separate Oil Drums with a flame shooting out of them. The letter O hovers above the last drum, and Kritters attack the primates as they cross the area. The level's [[Star Barrel]] is ahead on a raised platform.

From the start of the level, the heroes must head east and defeat some enemies. After walking down a slanted path and jumping over a lone Oil Drum, they will have to hop over a small gap to grab the letter K. From there, the monkeys must bounce on a tire to bounce over an Oil Drum, and then hop up a few ledges, occupied by the considerably weak foes, Gnawtys. After dropping down from a larger ledge, the heroes will need to bounce on another tire to hop over an Oil Drum. Once they get over the following Oil Drum, the Kongs will have to leap down several ledges while dodging more drums and Gnawtys. Crossing a small gap will take the monkeys to a barrel. It will shoot them to an area where they will need to walk down a long stairway and hop over a few more Oil Drums. Eventually, the group will reach the [[Star Barrel]] on a raised platform.

Revision as of 17:29, April 11, 2011

Template:DKClevelbox Oil Drum Alley is the twenty-third level of the popular Donkey Kong game, Donkey Kong Country. It is also the first level of the Kremkroc Industries, Inc. area.

The Kongs must navigate their way through a dangerous factory, guarded by Kritters, Gnawties and Manky Kongs in this level. This can be tough as the area is cluttered with many Oil Drums. These Oil Drums can burn the Kongs with their constantly shooting flames. Normally, it would be recommended to avoid the drums. As the level progresses, the Kongs must use these Oil Drums as platforms to cross abysses. Therefore, they eventually have to touch the fiery drums. Luckily, in a small gap near the midway point, the Kongs can find Rambi the Rhinoceros, who can help them defeat their enemies and reach some of the Bonus Areas.

The music that plays here is titled Fear Factory, which is a pun on Fear Factor.
