Mudhole Marsh (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)

This article is under construction. Therefore, please excuse its informal appearance while it is being worked on. We hope to have it completed by February 11, 2010.

Template:Level Mudhole Marsh is the twenty-first level of Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, as well as the twentieth level of Donkey Kong Land 2, a similar game for the Game Boy system. It is also the fifth area of Krazy Kremland, and the sixth area of that world in Donkey Kong Land 2.

Outside of the park, the Kongs will find themselves in another swamp. This swamp is the most treacherous one there is, as the Kongs will have to rely on Krocheads and Barrels shot by Kannons to cross the dangerous waters. The Kongs will also meet the foe, Cat-O-9-Tails, here as well. Other enemies include Zingers, Flitters, Click-Clacks, Kannons, and Mini-Neckys, who are scatted throughout the whole level.

Donkey Kong Country 2

From the start of the level, the Kongs must avoid a few Flitters and cross the water area, using the platforms in it. After that, they must go east, as they did before, and watch out for a Cat-0-9-Tails, who can throw them to their death. There is another abyss after this, and the heroes must use the hooks above it to get across. They will reach land then, and have to dodge two Click-Clacks. From that point, they need to cross another abyss, and, once, again, platforms are needed to do so. As they cross it, Mini Neckys will swoop down and attack them, and the monkeys must avoid them at all costs. After this, they should make it to a large platform, with another Cat-0-9-Tails. Once they defeat that foe, they will get to another abyss, and hooks are needed to cross it. As they hop to each hook, Zingers will lurk nearby, and can be quite a hazard. Soon, the Kongs will bounce off a Flitter and onto more small platforms. Again, Mini Neckys will be encountered, and they will attack as soon as the group is close enough. The heroes must not only use platforms at this part of the level, but also bounce off of several Flitters to cross wider gaps between the platforms. After these obstacles, though, they will reach land again, and then cross another abyss, where the Star Barrel can be found.

As the monkeys jump to these platforms, they'll meet another Mini Necky, but soon get back on solid ground. Continuing east, they will have to dodge a Cat-0-9-Tails and grab onto a vine in the water. They need to keep going across the dangerous waters and hop platform-to-platform. They'll also encounter a Kannon on the way. After that, the Kongs must leap off a red Krochead, and then get back on land. Zingers and Cat-0-9-Tails are placed throughout the area, so the heroes should be careful. Eventually, they will have to go over another abyss, and again, use the platforms. A Kannon will shoot Kannonballs at them when they begin to cross, but they can be avoided with a simple jump. Back on land, the monkeys will have to defeat three Click-Clacks, and shortly after, cross yet another abyss. To cross it, the group must use platforms, Flitters, Krocheads, and even barrels shot from Kannons. Once they make their way back on land, they will reach a large platform. They'll soon have to jump off though, and get over the next abyss. This one is very small, and only a single Krochead is needed to cross it. After this point, the Kongs will get back to solid ground and walk eastward. As before, there are Cat-0-9-Tails and Zingers all around to mess with the monkeys, so they need to be very cautious. Finally, the heroes will have to cross the last abyss in the level. Unlike other ones, however, this abyss has little platforms. Instead, the group must use the barrels from a nearby Kannon to bounce across the whole length of the gap. Eventually, though, they will get to land again, and walk along the area, where they will find the Ending Pad.
