| | '''Level Flags''' are special objects that appear at the end of most [[level]]s in the [[game]] ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble]]''. To complete a level and return to the [[map screen]], [[Dixie Kong|Dixe]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] must raise the stage's Level Flag. This is done by [[jump]]ing and grabbing the rope attached to the flagpole located at the end of the level. The white flag on the other side of the rope will then ascend into the air and blow in the wind. If the stage's [[Bonus Level]]s have been completed and it's [[Bonus Coin]]s collected, the flag will fly fully in the wind. Otherwise, the flag will fly limp on the flagpole. Additionally, the Level Flag will change color as it is being raised for the first time. If Dixie pulls the flag up, the flag will turn pink. If Kiddy grabs the rope, the Level Flag will become blue. (Note: The color of the flag cannot be changed by replaying and beating the level with the alternate Kong.) The raised, colored Level Flag will then replace the [[Krem Flag]] located on the map screen. This signifies that the [[Kremling Krew]] has been defeated in this area, and the Kongs can now pass by the stage anytime without having to replay the level. The Level Flag will appear on the map screen as it appeared when being raised (pink vs. blue, flying fully vs. flying limp). As such, the Kongs can keep track of which Kong beat which level, and if they should replay a level to find any missing Bonus Coins. Additionally, a special gold pennant will appear on the map screen Level Flag if the Kongs defeated the level's [[Koin]] and claimed its [[DK Coin]]. |

Level Flags appear at the end of every level, where they are connected to a flagpole, and it can be pulled upward from a rope attached to it to end the current level and return to the map screen. Level Flags function as the replacement of [[End of Level Target]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''.

|
| ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' uses a similar method of displaying the levels on the map screen. An uncompleted level displays a black flag with a white symbol. After the player completes the level, the flag gains the character's color and emblem. The flag turns golden if the player hits its top. Finally, a green star appears at the top of the flagpole if all three [[Green Star]]s of the level are collected.
| | ==Trivia== |
|
| |
|
| ==History==
| | *Level Flags are similar to the [[Flagpole]]s from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' Both flagpoles need to be jumped onto to complete a level. |
| ===''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''===
| |
| Level Flags are objects in ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''. A [[Krem Flag]] represents any level that is accessible but not yet completed, and the [[Kong]]s can supersede it by activating its Level Flag at the end. A Level Flag can be activated by [[jump]]ing and pulling at its rope, changing it from white to either pink if Dixie is pulling it or blue if Kiddy is pulling it; if the [[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!#Codes|"COLOR" cheat code]] is active, the flag color is instead purple for Dixie and green for Kiddy. The flag also flies if the Kongs obtain every [[Bonus Coin (Donkey Kong franchise)|Bonus Coin]] in the level. The Level Flag on the map screen appears as it did when it had been raised, and it also has a gold pennant if the Kongs defeat that level's [[Koin]] for its [[DK Coin]]. The Level Flag artwork shows the "DK" [[emblem]] on the pennant. Once the level is completed, the color of the flag cannot be changed by replaying and completing it with the alternate Kong. | |
