'''Lightning Lookout''' (parsed '''Lightning Look-Out''' in the original game) is the thirty-third [[level]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and the third level of [[Kaos Kore]]. However, in the [[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]], Lightning Lookout became the thirty-ninth level, owing to [[Pacifica]] being a newly implemented world in the game. It is the last riverside level in the game. It takes place during a thunderstorm, and as [[Dixie Kong]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] travel through the level, they must avoid being struck by [[Lightning (obstacle)|lightning]]. The player can determine where the lightning bolt will strike when the tip of it appears overhead. About two seconds later, the lightning strikes the surface in the exact location. If the lightning strikes while the Kongs are swimming in the water, then the lightning bolt electrocutes them. The lightning can defeat most enemies except red [[Buzz (enemy)|Buzzes]] and the level's [[Koin]]. The Kongs can stand underneath a Buzz or [[Booty Bird]] to shield themselves from a lightning strike, but a [[Knik-Knak]] or a [[Barrel]] can also shield them.

About halfway into the level, the Kongs walk down more of the pathway and defeat another pair of Buzzes blocking their way. Farther on, they find the letter N between two Buzzes, and then make their way into a pool of water to get under some red Buzzes. The monkeys get through more of the level by passing some Knik-Knaks on raised platforms. Moving under some more Buzzes, they eventually use more barrels to cross a small body of water. On the other side of the water, they go under a few Buzzes to progress and find the letter G. Moving on, the group cross another large lake with bobbing barrels, and then leap over a small gap to meet two more Buzzes. They need to hop between these enemies to continue, where they run down a long pathway and meet another pair of Buzzes. Once they get between these foes, they find a flagpole. After raising the flag on it, the level ends.

===K-O-N-G Letters===

*'''K:''' The letter K is floating above the first bobbing barrel in the level.

*'''O:''' The letter O is floating above a pool of water after the first two red Buzzes.

*'''N:''' The letter N is floating between two green Buzzes shortly after the Star Barrel.

*'''G:''' The letter G is floating above two Buzzes near the end of the level.

When the Kongs encounter the first two Booty Birds, they must stand beneath the second one, which itself is beneath a red Buzz (or a green one in the Game Boy Advance port). They must wait for the lightning to strike the Booty Bird, causing it to release a [[Steel Keg]]. The Kongs must pick up the Steel Keg, carry it, and then throw it above [[Koin]] to a nearby wall. The Steel Keg then rolls backward into Koin's back, thus defeating him. If the Kongs accidentally hit Koin's armor, another Steel Keg does not spawn in the previous one's place for the Kongs to reattempt at attacking Koin.

==Bonus Levels==

{{multiframe|[[File:Lightning Lookout GBA Bonus Area 2.png|200px]] [[File:Lightning Lookout Bonus Area 1.png|200px]]|size=420|The first and second Bonus Levels respectively}}

Lightning Lookout has two [[Bonus room|Bonus Levels]], listed by type:

*'''Bash the Baddies!''': When the Kongs find the letter O, they must swim down the water below and enter a [[Bonus Barrel]]. Here, the Kongs must jump on seven [[Knik-Knak]]s flying above the water (which also has a [[Nibbla]] in the Game Boy Advance version). After jumping on every Knik-Knak, Dixie and Kiddy can obtain the [[Bonus Coin (Donkey Kong franchise)|Bonus Coin]] to their right.

*'''Grab 15 Bananas!''': After passing the letter N, the Kongs pass a couple of more red Buzzes and Knik-Knaks. Eventually they find the Bonus Barrel floating above a body of water, which has three bobbing Barrels. With their [[Team-up]] move, the Kongs can enter into the Bonus Barrel above. The Kongs must collect 15 green bananas while Kongs must avoid being struck by a lightning bolt. After collecting every banana, the Kongs can obtain the Bonus Coin from the right.
