Template:Level Red Wharf is the first level in the classic Game Boy and Game Boy Color game, Donkey Kong Land III. The level is located south of Cape Codswallop, and is also the first area in that world.

In this stilt level, the Kongs will need to walk along a series of boardwalks overhanging a large body of water. Noticeably, this level is the Donkey Kong Land III equivalent of Lakeside Limbo from Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble, and both feature Sneeks and Kobbles. Although Red Wharf mostly takes place on the docks, the monkeys can also swim in the shallow water to find extra bananas and a Bonus Barrel. As the game's first level, Red Wharf does not feature any exclusive hazards and is a rather short level. The Kongs will, however, not only be walking along boardwalks and swimming through some shallow water, but sometimes be climbing along short tightropes or shooting through barrels.

Level Layout

At the start of the level, the heroes will need to walk down a few boardwalks and defeat some enemies. Following some banana trails, the Kongs will pass a few Sneeks and find the letter K. After that, they will need to hop up onto a ledge and continue east, where they will have to run down some slanted pathways and then follow some bananas, in the formation of an arrow, into the shallow water. There, the heroes will find the letter O. Once they get the letter, they will have to jump out of the sea and walk up the path to find the level's Star Barrel.

About halfway through the level, the monkeys will need to walk down more other the path, defeating enemies, and hop into a barrel to be shot into the letter N. They will then land on a higher area of the level. At the end of the area, they will need to follow a banana trail downwards and roll into a small abyss to get the letter G. After that, they will be greeted by more enemies to beat. Knocking each one out, the apes will have to walk down the strait boardwalks to find a flagpole. Touching it will end the level.
