An avalanche occurs in [[Silver Snow Peak]] from ''[[Donkey Kong Jungle Beat]]''. As [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Hoofer]] are running down the mountain, it approaches the characters at a fast pace behind them. If they come into contact with the avalanche, they take damage. In the [[New Play Control! Donkey Kong Jungle Beat|''New Play Control!'' version]] of the game, a giant [[snowball]] must be removed to escape the avalanche.

====''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze''====
In ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' and [[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Nintendo Switch)|its Nintendo Switch version]], the stage [[Cliffside Slide]] is set during an avalanche in [[Donkey Kong Island]]'s [[Cliff]] area. It carries platforms and hazards that the [[Kong]]s must navigate as they ascend the slope. Platforms may slowly sink into the avalanche when stepped on. The Kongs lose a life if they fall into the avalanche.
