About halfway through the level, the apes travel up the first trunk in their path and jump along some branches to find the entrance to the next tree. Inside, they climb up a long rope while dodging Minkeys. A Barrel Shield can be used here to help the Kongs. At the top of this area, the heroes walk along more branches, jumping over a Buzz, to find the next tree. At the top of this tree, they find the letter N and the short pathway across a tree, leading to another tree trunk. There is a rope to climb down inside this area, and Minkeys interfere with the Kongs' progress as they make their way down. At the bottom of this area, they cross into another tree and drop down some more platforms and branches to find the next tree. This tree, as any other trees, has a long rope going down from it. With the help of some Barrel Shields, the group should be able to travel all the way up the rope, avoiding several Minkeys.

Template:Levelbox Simian Shimmy is the twenty-third level in Donkey Kong Land III and the fifth level of Great Ape Lakes, where it is located in the eastern woods region.
Summary
This level takes place in a forest of giant hollow trees, inhabited by gruff Minkeys, Sneeks and Buzzes. Just like Minky Mischief and Redwood Rampage, the level is labyrinthine and filled with many different pathways that Dixie Kong and Kiddy Kong can take through the trees. As the Kongs go through the level, they must climb ropes and leap from bark platforms and gnarled branches. Arrow-shaped bananas indicate the main path but there are Barrel Cannons in several alternate paths. There are a couple of Barrel Shields that help the Kongs dodge the Minkeys' acorns.
Simian Shimmy is one of the twelve levels in the Time Attack mode. In the mode, it is simply named Tree and must be completed under 1 minute and 22 seconds. Shortcuts of hidden Barrel Cannons are vital to complete the level on time.
