This article is under construction. Therefore, please excuse its informal appearance while it is being worked on. We hope to have it completed soon.

Template:Level Balloon Barrage is the twenty-sixth level in the pseudo-sequel to Donkey Kong Country, Donkey Kong Land. It is also the third area in the Big Ape City.

In the first construction site level of Donkey Kong Land, Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong will have to make their way across the area carefully. The stage is filled with a mixture of traps and obstacles, including tires, barrels, and chains, which must be used to travel across a whole large construction site in the city. In addition to the numerous obstacles, Kritters, Gnawties, Slippas, and even Krushas will appear as dangerous enemies throughout the level.

Level Layout

Bonus Level(s)

  • When the heroes jump off a chain to reach the letter O, they should turn around and get back on the chain. If they climb down it, they will end near a barrel. They must jump into it to begin the Bonus Level, where they will have to cartwheel-jump to grab two Kong Tokens and also quickly grab an Extra Life Balloon. Once this is done, they should exit by using a nearby barrel.
  • When the Kongs find the letter N, they should look down to find a barrel. Jumping into it will take them to the Bonus Level, where they must maneuver around a few Mincers to grab bananas and Kong Tokens. Once everything is collected, the monkeys must exit the level by traveling to the left.

Trivia

  • Although called "Balloon Barrage", the level features no balloons. However, another level, known as "Construction Site Fight", is filed with many balloons. Just as the name "Balloon Barrage" would fit better with the other level, Construction Site Fight, "Construction Site Fight" would be best named as "Balloon Barrage". Therefore, it is very likely that a mistake in the game's manual was made, switching the levels' names by accident.
