Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze levels

Levitation Station is the first level ofSecret Seclusion inDonkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze and its Nintendo Switchport.

During the course of the level, the path is formed by floating platforms that disassemble and reassemble in various ways, similarly to a jigsaw puzzle. Blocks that rise up and levitate for a short time are also encountered, though some of them are covered in spikes and should be avoided.

InTime Attack mode, a time of 1:39.00 is required to get a gold medal, a time of 1:46.00 for silver, and a time of 1:50.00 for bronze.

Overview[edit]

The level begins immediately with aBarrel Cannon, followed by some rising and falling platforms. A segment with disassembling and reassembling platforms appears, along with a fewHootzes. More rising and falling platforms appear afterwards, followed by a segment with Barrel Cannons, where the Kongs are supposed to blast between the "teeth" of a dragon-resembling tunnel. Carried by Blast Barrels, the Kongs collapse a wall of stone blocks, causing them to fall into the nearby shaft. Here, they would have to ride the falling platforms, jumping from one to another until aBarrel Cannon appears. A spiked block will crush the cannon shortly afterwards, damaging the Kongs if they wait for too long inside it. The Barrel Cannon launches the primates on a platform just as it assembles. More disassembling and reassembling platforms follow, and the Kongs must bounce on the Hootzes to proceed. After one more Blast Barrel, the Kongs must navigate a set of rising and falling platforms while avoiding spiked platforms to reach theSlot Machine Barrel.

Puzzle Pieces[edit]

  2. In the first segment with disassembling and reassembling platforms, the Kongs must stick to the top path and jump off of a Hootz to obtain the Puzzle Piece.
  3. Immediately after the second Puzzle Piece, there are two rings of bananas surrounding platforms. The Kongs must collect all bananas in both rings to obtain the Puzzle Piece.
  4. During the segment with rapidly falling platforms, the Kongs must collect all ascendingBanana Coins that pass by to obtain the Puzzle Piece.
  5. Just after the Puffton, some spiked platforms rise up, revealing the Puzzle Piece.
