It is the shortest level in the game.
 
In [[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze#Time Attack|Time Attack]] mode, a time of 1:10.00 is required to get a gold medal, a time of 1:12.00 for silver, and a time of 1:23.00 for bronze.

[[File:Cannon Canyon2.png|thumb|220px|left|Donkey Kong launches between two Hanging TNTs]]
The level starts off in a rocky canyon in the middle of a savannah. [[Donkey Kong]] must continue across a few sturdy wooden platforms, some of which have a [[Tucks]] on them. The second platform has a [[DD Barrel]] on it, and the upper-left one leads to a bonus room. After this is a longer platform with [[Hanging TNT]]s moving up and down. After this comes a platform with a swinging dynamite rope over it, followed by another one of said ropes which swings over two platforms. Afterwards, the player will encounter a platform leading to an [[Arrow Barrel]], which they must be careful when using, as there is a rope of dynamite raising and lowering just right of it. This processs will be repeated twice more, followed by another Arrow Barrel, which launches the simians into a wooden wall, knocking it over. Another sequence of dodging dynamite occurs directly after, though now the camera is in a behind-the-back perspective. At the end of said sequence, the player is launched into another wall, knocking it over so it can be used as a bridge. The first [[Tutorial Pig]] will automatically save their progress upon reaching this area.
The level starts off in a rocky canyon in the middle of a savannah. [[Donkey Kong]] must continue across a few sturdy wooden platforms, some of which have a [[Tucks]] on them. The second platform has a [[DD Barrel]] on it, and the upper-left one leads to a bonus room. After this is a longer platform with [[Hanging TNT]]s moving up and down, then another platform which a Hanging TNT is swaying back and forth above, and another Hanging TNT swaying above two smaller platforms with a gap between. Afterwards, the Kongs must go on a platform leading into a [[Barrel Cannon]], and they must blast with proper timing because of a Hanging TNT raising and lowering next to it. This process is repeated two more times, followed by another Barrel Cannon, which launches the Kongs into a wooden wall, knocking it over, and the camera changes to a behind-the-back perspective. The Kongs must blast from some more Barrel Cannons (and possibly collect a [[Red Balloon]] along the way). Some [[Archy|Archies]] are shown in the background, attempting to shoot fish at the Kongs, but miss. The Kongs then blast from a few Blast Barrels which circle around to another area, where the Kongs must from a few more Barrel Cannons between Hanging TNTs. Afterward, the Kongs launch into another wall as more fish are fired at them in the background. The Kongs pass the first [[checkpoint]] along the way, and by hitting the wall, the Kongs knock it over and can use it for a bridge to continue.
 
After this is a series of wooden platforms hanging over a larger platform. The larger platform leads to a penguin who is carrying a bomb. The bomb can be picked up after the penguin is defeated, and can then be thrown at a nearby wall to access the area behind it. Beyond this point is a series of wooden pillars that each have a bundle of dynamite attatched to them. This dynamite automatically detonates when [[Donkey Kong]] passes by, causing the pillar to potentially fall onto him. The plast of these pillars will crush the nearby [[Arrow Barrel]] which must be used to enter the next barrel-blasting sequence. This time however, the cannons now tilt in various directions, making it more difficult to avoid the dynamite ropes. On top of this, more of the explosive pillars are present, forcing players to move fast. After this, the Kongs will blast down a waterfall, and then blast across the river, keeping an eye on the large fish which occcasionally jumps from the water. Soon after, the player blasts between two wooden walls, causing them to ricochet off of them as they propel upwards. Then comes a few more barrel cannons which all shoot directly into the background; a bundle of dynamite in each gap, serving as a hazard. After this brief sequence, the players finally land on a wooden platform with the [[Slot Machine Barrel]] on it.
 
At the start of the stage, [[Donkey Kong]] will cross multiple wooden platforms (Two [[Tucks]] and a [[DK Barrel|DD Barrel]] can be found at the beginning). Here, he will find [[Hanging TNT]]s attached to moving ropes, the first of many found throughout the level. The Kongs will later enter the first set of [[Barrel Cannon]]s, where they must launch past more Hanging TNTs with correct timing. Occasionally during the sequence, [[Archy|Archie]]s will attempt to shoot fish at the Kongs, but miss. After launching from the final cannon, the Kongs will knock over a wooden tower (where the first checkpoint is located) and open the way to the next part of the level.


In the next area, there are tree trunks in the background attached with explosives, which will detonate and cause the trunks to fall over and potentially hurt the Kongs. During the next series of Barrel Cannons, more of the same trunks will start to explode and slowly topple over onto the Barrel Cannon the Kongs are currently occupying, meaning they must launch themselves out before they destroy it. Occasionally, the Barrel Cannon will change angles, in which case the Kongs must quickly launch in the correct path. Eventually, the Kongs will reach a canyon with the Barrel Cannons directed towards the background, where more Hanging TNTs are found. The final cannon puts the Kongs on a wooden platform with the [[Slot Machine Barrel]].
After this is a series of wooden platforms hanging over a larger platform. The larger platform leads to [[Boom Bird]], who must be defeated so that the Kongs can throw it at a nearby wall to access the area behind it. Beyond this point is a series of tree trunks attached with explosives, each having bundle of dynamite attached to them. This dynamite automatically detonates when the Kongs pass, causing the tree trunk to possibly fall onto him. The Kongs must go into a Barrel Cannon and immediately blast from it before a tree trunk crushes it. The Kongs must quickly blast from some more Barrel Cannons before they are crushed by a tree trunks. The Kongs must then blast from two Barrel Cannons that tilt in a few directions, but they must avoid hitting into the tree trunks or Hanging TNT; the game camera changes its angle for most of the Barrel Cannons that the Kongs move from. The Kongs must blast across four more tree trunks and then go down a waterfall, blasting from a few more Barrel Cannons. The Kongs must blast across the river and watch out for the [[Green Finley]] that jumps in and out. Shortly after, the Kongs blast between two wooden walls, causing them to ricochet as they propel upwards. After this is a few more Barrel Cannons which all shoot into the background directly, with a Hanging TNT in each gap. After the brief sequence, the Kongs land onto a wooden platform with the [[Slot Machine Barrel]].

Cannon Canyon
Donkey Kong launches between two Hanging TNTs

The level starts off in a rocky canyon in the middle of a savannah. Donkey Kong must continue across a few sturdy wooden platforms, some of which have a Tucks on them. The second platform has a DD Barrel on it, and the upper-left one leads to a bonus room. After this is a longer platform with Hanging TNTs moving up and down, then another platform which a Hanging TNT is swaying back and forth above, and another Hanging TNT swaying above two smaller platforms with a gap between. Afterwards, the Kongs must go on a platform leading into a Barrel Cannon, and they must blast with proper timing because of a Hanging TNT raising and lowering next to it. This process is repeated two more times, followed by another Barrel Cannon, which launches the Kongs into a wooden wall, knocking it over, and the camera changes to a behind-the-back perspective. The Kongs must blast from some more Barrel Cannons (and possibly collect a Red Balloon along the way). Some Archies are shown in the background, attempting to shoot fish at the Kongs, but miss. The Kongs then blast from a few Blast Barrels which circle around to another area, where the Kongs must from a few more Barrel Cannons between Hanging TNTs. Afterward, the Kongs launch into another wall as more fish are fired at them in the background. The Kongs pass the first checkpoint along the way, and by hitting the wall, the Kongs knock it over and can use it for a bridge to continue.

After this is a series of wooden platforms hanging over a larger platform. The larger platform leads to Boom Bird, who must be defeated so that the Kongs can throw it at a nearby wall to access the area behind it. Beyond this point is a series of tree trunks attached with explosives, each having bundle of dynamite attached to them. This dynamite automatically detonates when the Kongs pass, causing the tree trunk to possibly fall onto him. The Kongs must go into a Barrel Cannon and immediately blast from it before a tree trunk crushes it. The Kongs must quickly blast from some more Barrel Cannons before they are crushed by a tree trunks. The Kongs must then blast from two Barrel Cannons that tilt in a few directions, but they must avoid hitting into the tree trunks or Hanging TNT; the game camera changes its angle for most of the Barrel Cannons that the Kongs move from.

Shortly after, the Kongs blast between two wooden walls, causing them to ricochet as they propel upwards. After this is a few more Barrel Cannons which all shoot into the background directly, with a Hanging TNT in each gap. After the brief sequence, the Kongs land onto a wooden platform with the Slot Machine Barrel.
