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. | | '''End of 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]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. To complete a level and return to the [[map screen]], [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] 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 then ascends into the air and blows in the wind. If the stage's [[Bonus Level]]s have been completed and it's [[Bonus Coin]]s collected, the flag flies fully in the wind. Otherwise, the flag flies limp on the flagpole. |

| ==History==
| | Additionally, the Level Flag changes color as it is being raised for the first time. If Dixie pulls the flag up, the flag turns pink. f Kiddy grabs the rope, the End of Level Flag becomes blue. (Note: The color of the flag cannot be changed by replaying and beating the level with the alternate Kong.) The raised, colored End of Level Flag then replaces 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. |
| ===''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.

| |
|
| The Level Flag variations are as follows: | | The Level Flag appears 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 appears on the map screen Level Flag if the Kongs defeat the level's [[Koin]] and claim its [[DK Coin]]. |

| | == Trivia == |
| |image1=[[File:DKC3 KremFlag.gif]]
| | *End of 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. |
| |name1=[[Krem Flag]]
| | *In the coral levels [[Donkey Kong Land III]] the flags are also placed under water. Already kinda strange, but it also waves when it raises, which is strange because of the lack of air. |
| |description1=A black flag with a white ''K'' in the middle means the level is not completed.

| |
| |name2=Partially raised
| |
| |description2=The level is completed, but not every Bonus Coin was collected. Its color is based on the clothes of the Kong who completed the level. The "COLOR" cheat is used for the alternative colors.

| |
| |description3=The level is completed, and every Bonus Coin was collected. Its color is based on the clothes of the Kong who completed the level. The "COLOR" cheat is used for the alternative colors.
