Ropey Rumpus is the thirtiethlevel inDonkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! It is also the fifth and final non-boss level ofRazor Ridge. It takes place at a cliffside whereDixie andKiddy have to climb across horizontalropes to get across large gaps. Both red and greenBuzzes are the main and only enemy of the level, and they appear around the ropes. Green Buzzes fly in patterns, such as up and down or in a circle, while red Buzzes are usually stagnant in one place. About halfway into the level, theKongs have the option to freeParry from hisAnimal Crate.

Layout[edit]

The level begins with a small tunnel leading to a long tightrope. Climbing across this rope, the heroes will avoiding some Buzzes and move along some small platforms to walk through a small tunnel again. They will grab onto another tightrope after that and climb across to find more Buzzes. Once they dodge the pests, they will go through another tunnel to find a set of ropes to help them reach a higher part of the mountain. As they hop up each rope, they will dodge many red and green Buzzes. Heading west into another tunnel, the group will findthe letter K and travel across the next tightrope. The tightrope will lead them over a very large abyss, though it will also be surrounded by restless Buzzes, swarming all around. Soon, the Kongs will hop up a few small tightropes and make a 180 degree turn to a higher area. As they climb up the tightropes in this direction, they will maneuver over and under several more Buzzes until they find another area with many tightropes, all parallel to each other. Getting up these ropes without being disturbed by the Buzzes in the center of them, the heroes will make their way to theStar Barrel.

About halfway into the level, the apes will clamber between some more Buzzes and enter another area full of parallel tightropes. Dodging the enemies flying quickly around the area, the Kongs should climb up all the ropes and begin to travel west again on a longer tightrope. They will jump over more Buzzes on the way and soon find the letter N on solid ground. Heading through a small tunnel, they will hop up another set of parallel ropes and make it to a higher area of the mountain. There, they will meet Parry the Parallel Bird and move across a long, straight path of tightropes. Climbing along the tightropes, they will dodge many more Buzzes, most of them moving in circular motions, until they find the letter G, as well as theNo Animal Sign, which will turn Parry into aBonus Barrel if it survived the journey. Just a little farther from there,Dixie andKiddy will find theLevel Flag, and raising it ends the level, allowing them to continue toBarbos's Barrier (orKroctopus Krush in theGame Boy Advance version).
