| '''Murky Mill''' is the fifth [[level]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and of the first world, [[Lake Orangatanga]]. It takes place inside a poorly lit mill. [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong|Kiddy]] are transformed into [[Ellie]] for most of the level. She encounters many [[Sneek]]s along the way, and Ellie is required to defeat the ones under direct light, because upon seeing one, Ellie gets scared and quickly turns around. | | '''Murky Mill''' is the fifth [[level]] of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'', and is located in the first world, [[Lake Orangatanga]]. |
|

|
| ==Layout==
| | The Kongs play as [[Ellie the Elephant|Ellie]] for most of this dark level. The player is introduced to Ellie's fear of [[Sneek]]s; however, the ones in this level are too hard for her to see in the darkness, unless they walk directly under the ample lights. Ellie must defeat those Sneeks by tossing [[Barrel]]s at them from a distance. [[Re-Koil]]s make their debut here, appearing along with [[Buzz (species)|Buzzes]]. |

| |
| The level begins next to an elevator that the Kongs must ride up in order to reach a [[DK Barrel]] and a small doorway with an [[Animal Barrel]] in it. Upon entering this barrel, the Kongs are turned into Ellie the elephant, who must continue through the level by traveling east past some Sneeks. On the way, she also passes [[banana]]s, the [[KONG Letters|letter K]], and a Banana Bunch. After dodging a lone Re-Koil, the elephant finds a small gap with a moving platform and a banana bunch in it. At the bottom of the gap, there is an area to the west that she must travel along. Here, she can find a Sneek with a lamp shining light on it. Once she defeats it with the nearby barrel, she passes a few Re-Koils and another Sneek under direct light, who is lifted by a raised platform. If Ellie jumps into the light over this Sneek, she can find a green [[Extra Life Balloon]]. The letter O is located shortly after here above a jumping Re-Koil. Another gap follows here with a moving platform in it. Once Ellie reaches the bottom of it, she must travel east past the sixth Sneek, who is under another light, to reach the [[Star Barrel]]. | |
|
| |
|
| At this point in the level, Ellie must continue in order to find a Buzz above a [[Trapdoor (Donkey Kong Country 3)|trapdoor]] and a [[Iron Barrel|Steel Barrel]] that can be used to defeat a Sneek under light located nearby. A small platform ahead of here can lead the elephant down to an area with a DK Barrel and a Steel Barrel able to be utilized to defeat a Sneek later in the level, or to beat the [[Koin]] standing nearby. An elevator is next to the Steel Barrel that can lift Ellie up to an additional area with a red Buzz and a Sneek under a lamp. She can discover more red Buzzes in a nearby gap with some small elevators in it. The elevators can help her safely reach the bottom of the gap, where there is a path leading past a few Re-Koils and to a Sneek under direct light. The letter N is just ahead, followed by a Sneek with light shining on it. A barrel is next to the Sneek that Ellie can only reach if she sucks it towards herself with her trunk. An additional gap is placed immediately after the Sneek, and at the bottom, she can discover two separate passages. The passage on the left leads to an [[Blast Barrel|Auto-Fire Barrel]] that can shoot her to a higher area with some green Buzzes, a Steel Barrel, and a [[Bonus Barrel]]. The area to her right contains a red Buzz and a lamp that shines over two Sneeks. A nearby barrel must be used to defeat them. Once she passes these foes, she approaches some Re-Koils and the letter G above a ledge that she must drop down. At the bottom of the ledge, there are two Sneeks next to the light shining from a lamp on the ceiling. A [[No Animal Sign]] follows, and once the elephant passes it, she is turned back into the Kongs, and a [[bear coin]] appears. By pulling on to the [[Level Flag]] nearby, the level is completed, and the Kongs can continue on to [[Belcha's Barn]]. | | ==Level Layout== |
| | At the start of the level, the player must head to the right and jump on the platform, grabbing all the bananas in their path. To the right, at the top, there will be a [[DK Barrel]]. To the right of that barrel is an Ellie barrel. The player should jump in to it transform into her. Now the player should head right and take out the two Sneeks. The letter K can be found underneath the lantern, and then the player must jump up to the next ledge. There, they will find another Sneek that is hidden in the dark. Just past there is a Re-Koil. The player must continue right and jump on the platform, collecting the bananas. They will then find a Sneek under a lantern. Ellie must throw the nearby Barrel at this Sneek, or else she will never be able to advance. Since the barrel regenerates, the player should grab another one, and throw it at the Re-Koil ahead, and the next barrel at the next Re-Koil. Finally, the player must head all the way back to the regenerating barrel and throw it at the Sneek on the platform in the light. The apes must then jump into the light, gaining a [[Green Balloon]]. The letter O can be found nearby, guarded by two Re-Koils. The player must then jump on the next platform, heading down. They will see a Sneek below, moving in and out of the light, exposed by the lantern. This Sneek should be killed when it moves out of the light. Right after the player does this, the [[Star Barrel]] can be found nearby. |

| ==Enemies==
| | Halfway into the level, the monkeys should jump over a Buzz and find a [[Steel Keg]]. They need to throw the barrel at the nearby Sneek. The apes must go down the platform and grab the DK Barrel if needed. They must then grab another Steel Keg and throw it at a Sneek, over a red Buzz, at the top of a platform. They should then head downwards, moving left and right to avoid Sneeks. Ellie should then take the nearby barrel. This one regenerates, and Ellie will need to use it quite a bit. First, she should throw it at the first Re-Koil. Then, the player must head back and grab another barrel. They should throw this one at the next Re-Koil, and go back and grab another barrel. Ellie must use this one to take out the Sneek on the higher ledge just ahead. Going west, Ellie will find the letter N along with some bananas. The elephant must then go all the way back, grab the barrel, and throw at the Sneek to advance. The player must grab a barrel here, and jump on the platform to the right. The elephant must dodge a red Buzz, and stand at the edge, and then jump and throw the barrel to hit two Sneeks hiding in the light. Continuing past the light, the player must jump on the Re-Koils ahead. The letter G can be obtained after jumping on the second Re-Koil. Ellie should grab the bananas, wait for the two Sneeks to get out of the light, then run and jump on both of them at the same time. The player must then pass the [[No Animal Sign]] sign and grab the silver Bear Coin that Ellie leaves behind. The flagpole is just ahead. |

| | *Towards the start of the level, Ellie will see a Buzz guarding a trapdoor. Ellie needs to jump over the buzz, grab a [[Steel Keg]], turn around, and then throw it at the Buzz, revealing a [[Bonus Level]]. In this bonus, Ellie must defeat four circling Buzzes with Barrels before time runs out. If the challenge is completed, the apes will obtain a [[Bonus Coin]]. |

| | *At the bottom of a forked platform, Ellie should go left, and see two Buzzes and an unreachable Steel Keg. Using her special technique, Ellie must suck in the barrel, dropping it onto a Buzz, granting access to a Bonus area. Here, Ellie must avoid four Buzzes to find a Bonus Coin. |

| | *Just after becoming Ellie, the Kongs will drop down onto the floor and find a [[Steel Keg]]. If Ellie walks to the right, she will find [[Koin]], holding his [[DK Coin]], standing underneath an iron wall. Ellie must grab the keg, jump, and toss the barrel just over the top of the wall. The barrel will then bounce off of another wall, hitting the distracted [[Kremling]], thus giving the monkeys the DK Coin. |
| Shortly after Ellie passes the Star Barrel, she can find a Steel Barrel next to a vertically-moving platform. To the right, Dixie can find the [[Koin]]. She must throw the Steel Barrel into the opening above for it to bounce off the wall behind Koin and hit him from behind. This causes Koin to be defeated, and the Kongs are rewarded the [[DK Coin]].

| ==Bonus Levels== | | === [[Warp Barrel]] === |
| {{multiframe|[[File:Murky Mill Bonus Level 1.png|200px]] [[File:Murky Mill Bonus Level 2.png|200px]]|size=420|The first and second Bonus Levels respectively}}
| | *When the Kongs get to the top of the long elevator, Kiddy should walk over to the wall on the left, pick up Dixie, and throw her upwards to find the Warp Barrel. |
| Murky Mill has two [[Bonus Level]]s, listed by type:
| |
| *'''Bash the Baddies!''': After the Star Barrel, Ellie must pass a Buzz flying over a trapdoor, pick up a nearby Steel Barrel, and use it to defeat the Buzz. By falling through the trapdoor, Ellie is caught into a [[Bonus Barrel]]. In the [[Bonus Level]], Ellie has 25 seconds to defeat four Buzzes, who move in circles, using barrels which regenerate. After Ellie defeats the enemies, the [[Bonus Coin (Donkey Kong franchise)|Bonus Coin]] appears. | |
| *'''Find the Coin!''': Shortly after the letter N, Ellie must go down an elevator platform and take the path to the left. She must enter an Auto-Fire Barrel that shoots her up to an area with two Buzzes and a Steel Barrel. The lower Buzz is hovering over the Bonus Barrel, so Ellie must use her suction to move the Steel Barrel onto the Buzz and then enter the Bonus Barrel. In the Bonus Level, Ellie has 15 seconds to reach the Bonus Coin at the end. The Bonus Level takes place on a straightforward path, and Ellie must avoid two pairs of Buzzes that are encircling the path.

| *[[List of Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! pre-release and unused content|Late previews]] of the game show that Murky Mill would have been in [[Kremwood Forest]], while [[Squeals on Wheels]] was originally in Lake Orangatanga.<ref>{{cite|date=November 1996|title=''Nintendo Power'' Volume 90|page=26 and 28-31|language=en-us|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref><ref>{{cite|language=en-us|publisher=Nintendo of America|date=December 1996|title=''Nintendo Power'' Volume 91|page=55|quote='''The Pitfalls of Writing on the Kremling Kutting-Edge''' Last month's Donkey Kong Country 3 review gave you exclusive tips for the first half of the game. Since that time, Rare's game developers have made a few modifications to the software. The levels Squeals on Wheels, located in Lake Orangatanga, and Murky Mill, found in Murky Forest''{{sic}}'', have traded places. This switch is a lucky break, since many game players like to collect extra lives in Murky Mill. Now you can do this near the beginning of the game. Nintendo Power will continue to keep you posted on any additional changes prior to the release of the game.}}</ref>
