| '''Mainbrace Mayhem''' is the second level of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and the second level of the first world, [[Gangplank Galleon (world)|Gangplank Galleon]]. It is unlocked by clearing [[Pirate Panic (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Pirate Panic]], and is the first level to take place on a ship's mast. [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong]] must climb multiple ship masts and yards in order to progress, using vertical and horizontal [[rope]]s to reach the top of each one. Unlike ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', the Kongs cannot swing from these ropes. Mainbrace Mayhem is the first level that has [[cannon|kannons]] and [[cannonball|kannonballs]], both used together to access a [[Bonus room|Bonus Level]]. | | '''Mainbrace Mayhem''' is the second level of the game ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''; it is located on the [[Gangplank Galleon]]. It is the first rigging level of the game. |

| ==Layout==
| | The Kongs will be introduced to two new enemies in this level; [[Click-Clack]]s and [[Klinger]]s, as they climb their way to the top. Being an early level, it shouldn't give the Kongs all that much trouble. The enemies that return are [[Neek]]s and [[Klomp]]s. |
| [[File:Mainbrace Mayhem DKC2 GBA.png|thumb|left|Mainbrace Mayhem's appearance in the Game Boy Advance version]] | |
| The level begins on a yard with a Click-Clack and a few bananas on it. There is a tilted yard just ahead with a pair of Neeks and a [[barrel]] on it. A [[DK Barrel]] shakes in front of a nearby rope that leads up to a higher yard and the [[KONG Letters|letter K]]. A Click-Clack is on this yard, and two more of these blue insects are on the following yard to the left. A crate also sits on the yard. Ropes are above here, and a Klinger slides along them, guarding a [[Banana Coin]]. The ropes can be used to reach a yard with another Click-Clack on it. A set of ropes floats near here with the letter O and another Klinger on it. Two yards are located around these ropes. The one on the left holds two Banana Coins, while the one to the right leads to some ropes. A Click-Clack is on this yard. Once the Kongs climb the ropes, they find themselves on a higher yard with a barrel. The [[Star Barrel]] is also above them here.

| Neeks march down a tilted yard just ahead. Ropes are right after the mob of foes, holding a DK Barrel. When the Kongs climb the rope, they can find a yard with two Klomps and a crate on it. They can either travel along this yard or continue along the rope, which leads above the [[Kremling]] enemies. Many bananas are along the long rope. At the end of the rope and the yard, the heroes can find two sets of ropes, both of which that are infested with Klingers. The letter N is next to the second set of ropes, which can be climbed to reach a yard with a Klomp, a DK Barrel, and a kannonball. There is a tilted yard nearby to the west, which has a pair a Click-Clacks marching along it. A flat yard is at the end of this one, which holds a cannon that can shoot the primates to a [[Bonus Level]] if the kannonball found previously is inserted into it. Some ropes with a Klinger on them are above here. The Kongs can climb along the ropes to reach a second set of ropes with two Klingers on them. A yard is hidden to the left of here with a [[Bonus Barrel]] located above it. Soon, the heroes climb farther along the ropes, which lead straight to a yard with the [[End of Level Target]]. The end prizes include a Banana Bunch, Banana Coin, or a red Extra Life Balloon.

| | ===Donkey Kong Country 2=== |
| | At the start of the level, the Kongs must go east and walk up across the ship's mast, where a rope is found. The monkeys should climb up and then travel west, avoiding a few enemies. A bunch of ropes will be at the end of the mast, and Diddy and Dixie must climb up on them to get the next part of the level, where the Kongs go east again. From there, they must climb across another group of ropes. There is a Klinger sliding on these ropes, so the monkeys should be careful. Afterward, they need to climb up a rope the a higher part of the ship's mast, where a [[Star Barrel]] is found. |
|
| |
|
| ==Enemies==
| | Halfway through the level, they will have to move west, where a long line of Neeks are running around. The Kongs can easily beat them all if they throw the nearby barrel at them, which will roll the whole length of the mast and knock them all off. The monkeys then must go up to rope and go east where there will be a whole large group of ropes. They must carefully climb across them, without getting hit by a Klinger. When they are safely at the top of the next mast, the Kongs must simply travel west and jump on the next rope leading up. On the ropes, the are many Klingers, and the Kongs must carefully go east across all the ropes, trying not to get hit. Finally, the end of the level will be right at the end of the ropes, and the monkeys can finish the level. |
| The following enemies appear in the following quantities, and enemies that debut in the level are marked in '''bold''': | |

| | From the start of the level, the Kongs must go east, jumping from mast-to-mast carefully. As they defeat enemies on the way, the monkeys will grab onto a rope and climb up to a higher mast on the ship, then move west. After they avoid more enemies, they must cling onto the next set of ropes to go even higher. Afterwords, they must go east again and run across the masts while defeating many more pests, such as [[Neek]]s. Once at a dead end, the Kongs must look the other way to find another large set of ropes to climb on. Eventually, the monkeys will climb across a lone rope and jump to the [[Star Barrel]]. |

| | Halfway through the level, the two monkeys must jump on the mast northeast from the Star Barrel and move along. Once on the next mast, they must go west where a [[Kremling]] is. The animals must simply beat him and get onto another set of ropes nearby, while watching out for [[Klinger]]s, who slide down the ropes to knock the Kongs off. When the monkeys are at the top, they will jump on the mast to their right and walk up it. They will soon come up to more ropes with Klingers on them. Carefully, the Kongs must climb up and then jump on the mast to the left. As they move along, they will pass some [[Kruncha]]s and finally jump off a spring to the end of the level. |

| | ====Bonus Levels==== |
|
| |
|
| {{footnote|note|a|Of the thirteen Klingers, 8 are in the main level, and 5 are in the Bonus Level.}}
| | *The first Bonus Level is near the very beginning of the level. Dixie Kong must be the monkey in the lead and look for a group of [[banana]]s making the shape of an arrow. She must then flutter off the mast and move through the air in the direction of the arrow, where she will see some ropes to climb on. To the right of the ropes is a Bonus Barrel, which she can go in. In the Bonus Level, Dixie and Diddy must climb up a series of ropes until they reach the [[Kremkoin]] and complete the Bonus Level. |
| | *The second Bonus Level is hidden in a cannon. Right where the Star Barrel is found, the monkeys must pick up a cannonball and carry it across the mast. At the end of the mast, there is a cannon. When they put the ball in the cannon, it will glow, meaning that they can go in it. The cannon will shoot them into the Bonus Level, where they will beat some Klingers who are sliding on ropes above the Kongs. The two monkeys must use the crates and cannonballs around them to kill all the baddies. Afterward, the Kremkoin will appear, and they will win the Bonus Level. |
| | *The final Bonus Level is on a ship mast far west of the end of the level. The Kongs must use their [[Team-up]] move to reach the barrel. Once in the Bonus Level, the monkeys must climb up and down some ropes, collecting many stars. Once all the stars are collected, the Kremkoin will appear and they will beat the Bonus Level. |
|
| |
|
| ==Items and objects== | | ====DK Coin==== |
| The following items and objects appear in the following quantities:
| |
|

| | This DK Coin is hidden above the level's exit. The Kongs may use their Team-up move to reach it, as jumping won't make them go high enough. Also, they can get the coin if they travel on the ship's mast that is east of the third Bonus Barrel. |

| | ====Golden Feather (GBA Only)==== |
|
| |
|
| ===KONG Letters===
| | To find the [[Golden Feather]], the Kongs must be on the group of ropes where the letter O is found. West of that letter icon, there is a hidden mast. The monkeys must jump on the mast. There will be two Banana Coins, and in between them is the Golden Feather. |
| *'''K:''' At the top-right of the first rope, hovering between a square.
| |
| *'''O:''' Located on the third set of ropes, to the left of a Klinger.
| |
| *'''N:''' After the Star Barrel, the Kongs must climb a few more sets of ropes. The letter N is next to the second Klinger, on the right.
| |
| *'''G:''' After the kannon, the Kongs must climb up a rope, go horizontal, and then straight down to find the letter G hanging at the bottom of a rope.
| |
|
| |
|
| ===Key items=== | | ===Donkey Kong Land 2=== |
| *'''[[DK Coin|Cranky's Video Game Hero Coin]]''': From the yard below the third Bonus Barrel, the Kongs must use [[team up]] to reach an uppermost yard. They can also land on it by exiting the third Bonus Level. From the level's uppermost yard, the Kongs must continue forward and jump to another yard to the right and collect its Video Game Hero Coin.
| | ====Bonus Level(s)==== |
| *'''[[Golden feather]]''' (Game Boy Advance version): To find the golden feather, the Kongs must be on a grid-shaped series of ropes with the letter O. They must jump left to land on a hidden yard with two Banana Coins and the golden feather.
| |
|
| |
|
| ==Bonus Levels==
| | *Starting from the Star Barrel, the Kongs must climb east up to a nearby mast, which is crooked. As they go up, they must jump on to the next, still going in the same direction. Once near the end of that mast, the monkeys must jump down to the rope under them. There are some bananas to the left, which they need to jump to. As they fall, the Kongs will land in the [[Bonus Barrel]]. In the Bonus Level, they must move across several ropes, collecting twenty stars on their way. When all the objects are obtained, a Kremkoin will appear from the monkeys to get. |
| [[File:MainbraceMayhemCannonballBlast.png|thumb|The second Bonus Level]] | |
| Mainbrace Mayhem has three Bonus Levels, listed by type:
| |
|
| |
|
| *'''''Find the Token!''''': The first Bonus Level is near the start of the level. From the start, the Kongs must continue forward until they find a group of bananas in the shape of a right arrow. They must travel across the gap below (either from Diddy's [[cartwheel]] or Dixie's Helicopter Spin) to reach a grid-shaped rope. They must then jump into a [[Bonus Barrel]] on the right. The Bonus Level's objective is for Diddy and Dixie to collect the [[Kremkoin]] at the top within 20 seconds. To do so, they must climb up a series of three vertical grid ropes, with individual bananas being placed along the way. After climbing up the third rope, the Kongs can jump to the platform on the right for the Kremkoin.
| | ====DK Coin==== |
| *'''''Destroy Them All!''''': Past the Star Barrel, after the letter N, the Kongs find a kannonball. They must pick up the object, pass a Klomp and two Click-Clacks along the way, and throw it into the nearby kannon to activate it. By entering it, the Kongs are sent to the second Bonus Level. Here, the Kongs must defeat five Klingers, either by obtaining a [[crate]] from the left or a [[barrel]] from the right. From a yard at the bottom-center, the Kongs can pick up and use a kannonball, which does not break after the first hit. Lastly the Kongs can use team up to attack the Klingers. After every Klinger is defeated, a Kremkoin spawns just above the center of the bottom yard; the Kongs must collect it within the remaining time.
| |
| *'''''Collect the Stars!''''': After the kannon, the Kongs must climb up a grid-shaped rope, then move across horizontally, and finally move all the way to the top. They must jump left to land on a yard. From there, they must use team up to enter a Bonus Barrel at the upper-left. Here, the Kongs must collect 75 stars within 35 seconds, by climbing up and around the grids of a single large set of ropes. After collecting every star, the Kremkoin appears above the upper-right yard, and the Kongs must collect it within the remaining time.
| |
|
| |
|
| ==Warp Barrel==
| | Starting from the letter O, the Kongs must jump down from the mast and get on the ropes below. While watching out for Klingers, they should see the [[DK Coin]] to the right. The monkeys must simply jump off the rope to grab it, then landing on the mast below. |
| At the very start, Dixie must jump off the first yard and then use [[Helicopter Spin]] to continue hovering left and below the yard. Almost midway, Dixie lands into a [[Warp Barrel]]. This leads her and Diddy into a small warp room (which still retains the level's rigging theme) that only consists of a group of [[banana]]s arranged in the shape of an exclamation point.
