'''Gorilla Glacier''' is a [[List of locations|location]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. It is the fourth [[world]] and an arctic wasteland on the peak of [[Donkey Kong Island]]. It consists of several ice caves and deep ravines, as well as a treetop village. Most levels have icy, slippery ground that cause [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] to slightly lose traction, and many levels have a 3-D effect of snow and dynamic backgrounds.
{{quote2|The snowcapped peaks of Donkey Kong Country are rarely climbed due to the hazardous conditions found at such high elevations. The ground is like solid ice and does not offer a firm foothold for the explorer. Blinding blizzards often strike without warning. The resulting lack of visibility can make the already challenging obstacles in this area next to impossible!|Donkey Kong Country instruction booklet, page 21}}
'''Gorilla Glacier''' is the fourth world in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' and an arctic wasteland found on the peak of [[Donkey Kong Island]].


Gorilla Glacier appears to be the mountainous counterpart to the [[Volcano]] world from ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]''. When asked if they were the same region, senior designer Kynan Pearson approved of the idea.<ref>{{cite|author=KynanPearson|date=August 12, 2021|language=en|url=x.com/KynanPearson/status/1425940659152769030|title=Post|publisher=X|archive=web.archive.org/web/20210812220225/https://twitter.com/KynanPearson/status/1425940659152769030|accessdate=August 10, 2024}}</ref> However, the [[Cliff]] world uses arranged versions of Gorilla Glacier's music.
There are many ice caves and deep ravines featured in the world, including a treetop village. Most of the levels have icy, slippery ground that cause [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] to slightly lose traction. In most levels, there is a 3-D effect of snow and dynamic backgrounds. In the [[Game Boy Advance]] version, some of the effects were removed or edited from the levels, and some of the levels were rearranged in a different order from the redesigned world map. One of the levels is the first and only location that the Kongs meet their [[Animal Friend]], [[Squawks]].


In the ''[[Donkey Kong Country (television series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' cartoon, the Gorilla Glacier portion of [[Donkey Kong Island|Kongo Bongo Island]] is referred to as the '''White Mountains'''. This area is the home of [[Eddie the Mean Old Yeti]] and is otherwise fairly barren of features.

|The second level of Gorilla Glacier, which is set in an icy cavern. Like the previous level, the ground is slippery and icy, so the Kongs do not have much traction. To get through Slipslide Ride, the Kongs must use slippery rope to either slide up or down an area.

|The third underwater level of the game, Croctopus Chase is set in an icy river infested with [[Squidge]]s and [[Croctopus]]es. In various segments, Croctopuses chase after the Kongs. Because they are invulnerable, the only option for Donkey Kong and Diddy is to swim away from them in the thin level design, so their only option is to swim as fast as you can. They have small areas where they await and go to rest after a set amount of time.
