Editing Pot Hole Panic (Donkey Kong Land)

'''Pot Hole Panic''',<ref>{{cite|language=en-us|publisher=Nintendo of America|date=1995|title=''Donkey Kong Land'' instruction booklet|page=18}}</ref> also spelled '''Pothole Panic''',<ref>{{cite|language=en-us|publisher=Nintendo of America|title=''Nintendo Power'' Volume 74|page=20|date=July 1995}}</ref> is the seventeenth [[level]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'' and the first level of [[Monkey Mountains & Chimpanzee Clouds|Monkey Mountains]]. Pot Hole Panic takes place in a cave with many [[tire (object)|tire]]s, necessary for reaching higher ledges and crossing [[pit]]s.

At the start of the level, the [[Kong]]s encounter an [[Army]] and some [[Zinger]]s. If the [[Kong]]s move the tire between the Zingers, they can reach the first DK Barrel and the letter K. After this, they have to walk a little farther into the dark cave. There are several ledges that they must climb up, and once up them all, the Kongs should see a big wall in the way. They can crawl into the small space under it and get to the other side of it. This must be done again, as there is another wall in the Kongs' path. After they get under all the walls, the heroes must ride across a small platform to get across a wide gap. Once they are over this pit, they should make their way down a large ledge and crawl under a wall, followed by a second one. Getting this obstacle done takes the Kongs to an area with a dangerous Krusha. They need to jump over the foe and continue on. Another pit must be crossed after this. [[Donkey Kong|Donkey]] and [[Diddy Kong]] should use a nearby platform to cross it, and then jump over a lone Zinger to get to the other end safely. After this, they need to use a tire to reach a high ledge, and then walk down several ledges. These ledges are occupied by Kritters and other foes, so the Kongs should be careful. Soon, the heroes make it to the end of a ledge, which they should jump off to find the [[Continue Point]].

Pot Hole Panic has two [[Bonus room|Bonus Areas]]:

 

*Donkey Kong or Diddy must push the second [[tire]] of the level past the letter O and down a crawlspace. Once they are between the walls, the active Kong must bounce to a [[Blast Barrel]] at the left to access the first Bonus Area. An [[animal crate]] of [[Rambi]] is at the start, giving the Kongs the option to ride him. Rambi can charge into a few Kritters along the way, then cross a small gap to reach some bananas, and then jump into a Blast Barrel to leave the Bonus Area. When the Kongs return into the main level, they no longer have Rambi with them.

*Just before the letter N, the Kongs must push the tire on the ledge slightly left onto the lower path, where they must push it to the right while avoiding a few Zingers. Shortly after this, the Kongs come across a tall line of bananas. From here, the Kongs must bounce on the tire and enter a Blast Barrel above to enter the second Bonus Area. The Bonus Area takes place on a ship deck with the letter G, with a [[Mincer]] horizontally moving underneath it. With a timed jump, the Kongs can reach the letter G and exit from a Blast Barrel to the right.

*There is a [[Pot Hole Panic (Donkey Kong Country 3)|level]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' that shares its name with this one. It is also set in a cavern, but is otherwise not based upon this level.
