Polar Pitfalls is the fifteenth level in Donkey Kong Land III. Located in the northern region of Blackforest Plateau, in the foothills of a tall mountain range, it is the third level in this area. To complete this level, Dixie Kong and Kiddy Kong must make their way through a snowy tundra. Several chalets, that may be inhabited by members of the Kremling Krew, are found in this level; their snow-capped rooves can be used as additional platforms. A thick sheet of ice covers the ground, making it somewhat slippery.
Besides the malevolent Skiddas, Krimps and Buzzes, the main obstacles here are the narrow -yet very deep- chasms that can be found in multiples places, as the level's name implies. Although most of these pits must be jumped over, two of them contain a Bonus Barrel. The Kongs will encounter a tribe of Lemguins in the second part of the levels, but these enemies mostly dwell in the level "Tundra Blunda".
"Pollar Pitfalls" is this game's equivalent of "Skidda's Row" from Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble, though it is quite harder.
Trivia
- Since the song "Frosty Frolics" from Donkey Kong Country 3 was not included in this Gameboy sequel, the song "Cascade Capers", used in waterfall levels, also plays in "Polar Pitfalls".
