'''Horn Top Hop''' is the third level of [[Autumn Heights]], and the eleventh overall in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' and its Nintendo Switch [[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Nintendo Switch)|port of the same name]]. It takes place in an autumn-colored forest with [[Leaf Platform|large leaves]] floating around in places that the characters can use as jumping platforms. However, its main feature, which gives it its name, is the [[Hootz]]es blowing into variously-sized {{wp|alphorn}}s in time with the music. This consistent timing can be easily seen upon exiting a secret area, in which one will actively wait for a specific part of the music to begin playing.

 

In [[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze#Time Attack|Time Attack]] mode, a time of 1:45.00 is required to get a gold medal, a time of 2:05.00 for silver, and a time of 2:26.00 for bronze.

The level starts out on what appears to be a continuation of [[Mountain Mania]], with a barrel which the player can use to bring in either [[Diddy Kong]], [[Cranky Kong]], or [[Dixie Kong]]. After going past some [[Trench Tucks]], the Kongs will find a checkpoint, and then a series of gaps with floating leaves in between them, which can support their weight for a few seconds and be used as quick platforms. Following this, they must use one of the leaves, which moves sideways as well, to cross a gap and collect [[banana]]s over it, and then second and third areas in a similar way after which there is another Checkpoint. Following this and the crossing of a large area with several of the leaves, as well as [[Tucks]], the Kongs will go through a row of large alphorns blowing air, after which there is an ascending series of leaves, at the top of which there is a [[Schnautzel]] shooting fireballs, followed by a long row of spikes which must be crossed by using floating leaves, and then another checkpoint. After this, there are more Trench Tucks, this time wearing helmets like [[Pointy Tucks]], disallowing the Kongs to jump on them. Following that, the Kongs will shoot through a [[Barrel Cannon]] to a secret area containing the last Puzzle Piece, and leading a path to the [[Slot Machine Barrel]], ending the level.
