- Nintendo Power Volume 89:The once-placid shoreline of Lake Orangatanga has been invaded by scores of Kaos's krooked Kremling krew. This six-stage lake resort has a little bit of danger in every terrain, ranging from undersea uncertainties to alpine altercations. Either Dixie or Kiddy can complete each stage, but you need the talents of both primates to find all the hidden items and bonus levels.[1]
