Editing Minky Mischief

{{Levelbox

'''Minky Mischief''' (or '''Minkey Mischief'''<ref>''Nintendo Power'' Volume 102, page 86.</ref>) is the eighth level in ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'' and the second level of [[Primate Plains]], where it is located in the eastern woods. It is the first level set within hollow trees.

 

Minky Mischief takes place inside large, hollow trees which the Kongs must ascend. It is reminiscent of the ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' level, [[Barrel Shield Bust-Up]], as [[Minkey|Minky]]s are the main enemy of both levels. [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong|Kiddy]] can hide behind [[Barrel Shield]]s to protect themselves from the nuts thrown by Minkys. The [[Kong]]s also encounter some [[Nid]]s, who bounce them to [[Nid]]s that help the [[Kong]]s progress up the level. During most of the latter half, the Kongs are transformed into [[Squawks the Parrot]], who makes his first appearance in the level. Squawks can defeat [[Buzz (enemy)|Buzz]]es along the way and locate secrets such as an [[Red Balloon|Extra Life Balloon]], a [[Bear Coin]], and even [[Bonus Barrel]]s.

 

*[[Bear Coin]]: 1

|After the letter G, Dixie or Kiddy must climb up a large rope and then walk out to the right of the hollow tree. The Kong must jump at a banana to the left to be caught into a hidden Barrel Cannon above, which blasts them to another Barrel Cannon that blasts them left into a hidden area with the [[Koin]] and a [[Iron Barrel|Steel Barrel]] on a platform above him. The Kong must throw the Steel Barrel at the wall on either side of the tree for it to bounce off and roll into Koin below, defeating him and rewarding the [[DK Coin]] to the Kongs.

|'''''Collect the Stars!'''''<br>After the letter O, the Kongs must go down from some branches outside the large trees and then drop from some platforms in a hollow tree. The Kongs must then go into a gap to enter a small area with a Buzz and the first [[Bonus Barrel]]. In the [[Bonus Level]], the Kongs have 20 seconds to collect 22 [[Star (Donkey Kong Country series)|star]]s. They must first jump up some platforms and jump from a few Nids in a hollow tree. When the Kongs reach the top, they must go left into an open area and go down from some tree branches, collecting stars along the way. Each of the stars are in groups of three except the first one. When the Kongs collect every star, the [[Bonus Coin]] appears at the bottom of their fall, on the left side of the Bonus Level.

|'''''Find the Token!'''''<br>Near the end of the level, Squawks can find a group of bananas forming a right arrow. Instead of going in that direction, Squawks must fly up the hollow trunk, between three Buzzes along the way, and then up to a platform which the [[Bonus Barrel]] hovers over slightly. In the [[Bonus Level]], Squawks passes a No Animal Sign and transforms back into the Kongs. Dixie or Kiddy have 40 seconds to find the [[Bonus Coin]]. They must climb vertical ropes and avoid some Buzzes in hollow trees along the way. The Bonus Coin is hovering over the tip of a tree branch.
