'''Rocketeer Rally''' is the thirteenth level in ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. Located in the east of [[Blackforest Plateau]], it is the first level in this area, as well as the first waterfall level.  
'''Rocketeer Rally''' is the thirteenth level in ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'' and the first level of [[Blackforest Plateau]]. Rocketeer Rally takes place at a waterfall where [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong|Kiddy]] must use [[Booster Barrel]]s to travel, as well as a few [[Tracker Barrel]]s to travel across the wide gaps.
==Layout==
The level begins with a straight path leading to a Booster Barrel. Riding upwards into the barrel, the apes land on a small set of long platforms. At the end of this platform, they can find another Booster Barrel. It can carry them farther up the falls, where they need to get in a third Booster Barrel. This barrel blasts them into the air in a higher area. While airborne, the Kongs should make their way into the next Booster Barrel to the left. Once the barrel blasts them to a higher platform, they need to head over the area, avoiding a few enemies. Upon entering a nearby Booster Barrel, they are carried to a platform with another Booster Barrel. This Booster Barrel takes them to a higher area of the falls. There, they find yet another Booster Barrel, which can takes them to an area where they need to hop over a gap filled with two Buzzes. After this gap, they can see the next Booster Barrel. It can guide them to [[KONG Letters|the letter O]]. Near the letter O is another Booster Barrel. It can take the monkeys to a higher area, where they have to head west to find another Booster Barrel. This barrel can guide them to a small platform with the [[Star Barrel]].


To complete this level, [[Dixie Kong]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] must climb up a very large and tall cascade. Since most ledges are too high for them to reach, they need many [[Booster Barrel]]s to progress through the level. A few [[Tracker Barrel]]s can be found here as well, helping the heroes cross large abysses. The [[Kong]]s often have to choose between multiple paths, and finding both [[Bonus Barrel]]s may require a long exploration. A single [[Krumple]] appears in this level, alongside [[Kobble]]s, [[Sneek]]s, [[Buzz (Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!)|Buzzes]], [[Bristles]], and [[Knik-Knak]]s.  
About halfway through the level, the Kongs discover a Tracker Barrel to the right. This barrel helps them cross a large abyss and get into the nearest Booster Barrel. This barrel can fly them to a large platform with another Booster Barrel, found right above the Kongs. The barrel pulls them upwards to the next Booster Barrel. While airborne, they should try to land in the other barrel, and then blast to a third Booster Barrel in that area. The barrel takes them to yet another Booster Barrel. This barrel, the final barrel in the chain of Booster Barrels, blasts the apes back on a solid and large pathway. Only a few steps on this pathway take Dixie and Kiddy to the next Booster Barrel. Jumping into it, they are shot to a higher area again, where they should follow an arrow, telling them to travel to the east. They can find the next Booster Barrel in that direction, and it fires them into the air near another Booster Barrel. The heroes need to jump into that barrel to blast a little bit higher, landing on a small platform with yet another Booster Barrel. This barrel guides them onto a small platform with a Kobble and a flagpole. Touching the flagpole finishes off the level.


Noticeably, Rocketeer Rally is ''Donkey Kong Land III's'' equivalent of [[Rocket Barrel Ride]] from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble]]''.

In the Bonus Level, the Kongs have 25 seconds to collect 6 stars. Instead of using Tracker Barrels like in the first Bonus Level, the Kongs must use Booster Barrels to go up a waterfall, collecting a few stars along the way.

They need to beat the Koin to get his DK Coin, however, the enemy's shield protects him from all possible attacks. So, the heroes have to use the nearby barrel, found on the neighboring platform, and stand on the [[Kremling]]. Once on the enemy, they need to throw the barrel against the edge of the screen. The barrel should bounce back, hitting the distracted Koin on the side. This defeats him, thus giving the apes his DK Coin.

<< Directory of levels >>

Rocketeer Rally is the thirteenth level in Donkey Kong Land III and the first level of Blackforest Plateau. Rocketeer Rally takes place at a waterfall where Dixie and Kiddy must use Booster Barrels to travel, as well as a few Tracker Barrels to travel across the wide gaps.

Layout[edit]

The level begins with a straight path leading to a Booster Barrel. Riding upwards into the barrel, the apes land on a small set of long platforms. At the end of this platform, they can find another Booster Barrel. It can carry them farther up the falls, where they need to get in a third Booster Barrel. This barrel blasts them into the air in a higher area. While airborne, the Kongs should make their way into the next Booster Barrel to the left. Once the barrel blasts them to a higher platform, they need to head over the area, avoiding a few enemies. Upon entering a nearby Booster Barrel, they are carried to a platform with another Booster Barrel. This Booster Barrel takes them to a higher area of the falls. There, they find yet another Booster Barrel, which can takes them to an area where they need to hop over a gap filled with two Buzzes. After this gap, they can see the next Booster Barrel. It can guide them to the letter O. Near the letter O is another Booster Barrel. It can take the monkeys to a higher area, where they have to head west to find another Booster Barrel. This barrel can guide them to a small platform with the Star Barrel.

About halfway through the level, the Kongs discover a Tracker Barrel to the right. This barrel helps them cross a large abyss and get into the nearest Booster Barrel. This barrel can fly them to a large platform with another Booster Barrel, found right above the Kongs. The barrel pulls them upwards to the next Booster Barrel. While airborne, they should try to land in the other barrel, and then blast to a third Booster Barrel in that area. The barrel takes them to yet another Booster Barrel. This barrel, the final barrel in the chain of Booster Barrels, blasts the apes back on a solid and large pathway. Only a few steps on this pathway take Dixie and Kiddy to the next Booster Barrel. Jumping into it, they are shot to a higher area again, where they should follow an arrow, telling them to travel to the east. They can find the next Booster Barrel in that direction, and it fires them into the air near another Booster Barrel. The heroes need to jump into that barrel to blast a little bit higher, landing on a small platform with yet another Booster Barrel. This barrel guides them onto a small platform with a Kobble and a flagpole. Touching the flagpole finishes off the level.

At the end, when the Kongs reach the End of Level Flag, they must go backwards and jump onto a platform. There the Kongs encounter a Koin and a nearby Steel Barrel. They must throw the Steel Barrel at the left edge of the screen, causing it to bounce off and hit Koin from behind. This defeats Koin and the Kongs are rewarded the DK Coin. If the Kongs accidentally hit a Krumple with the Steel Barrel, they can move away from the area and return for it to reappear.
