The Kongs travel through the abandoned Tree Top village, but Cranky's whining alerts the Kremlings cannon gunners stationed there. As the group is bombarded by barrels, Rambi manages to dislodge the gunners by charging into a tree. The group leaves the Tree Top Town and Rambi leaves the Kongs at the bottom of the mountain. The Kongs initially have difficulty braving the blizzard, but they are soon rescued by [[Expresso the Ostrich|Expresso]] who leads them to an ice cave. As the Kongs explain to him their mission, [[Necky]] and [[Mini-Necky]] attack by spitting coconuts. After Donkey Kong drives off the vultures by shooting them with the [[mini-barrel cannon]], Expresso shows to the Kongs they can reach the factory through the abandoned mines. | The Kongs travel through the abandoned Tree Top village, but Cranky's whining alerts the Kremlings cannon gunners stationed there.
