Simian Shimmy
This article is under construction. Therefore, please excuse its informal appearance while it is being worked on. We hope to have it completed as soon as possible.
Template:Level Simian Shimmy is the twenty-third level in Donkey Kong Land III. Located in the eastern woods of the Great Ape Lakes region, it is the fifth level in the area.
This level takes place in a forest of giant hollow trees, inhabited by gruff Minkeys, Sneeks and Buzzes. To complete it, the Kongs must navigate this vegetal maze, climbing up and down ropes, exploring the enormous trunks by leaping from bark platforms onto gnarled branches, and avoiding the assaults of irate territorial species. Just like Minky Mischief and Redwood Rampage, this level is quite labyrinthine and filled with many different pathways. Arrow-shaped bananas may indicate the right path to follow, but several hidden Barrel Cannons turn out to be appreciable shortcuts, which can save a lot of time and effort. However, further exploration is required to find both Bonus Barrels and the Koin. A few Barrel Shields can be found throughout the forest, but most of the time it is possible to dodge the Minkeys' acorn projectiles without the additional protection they provide.
In the Time Attack mode, unlocked after beating Baron K. Roolenstein in the Lost World, Simian Shimmy appears again to represent "Tree" levels. It must be completed in less than 1 minute and 22 seconds. Shortcuts involving hidden Barrel Cannons are vital to win this challenge.
