This level takes place in a lava-filled volcano, full of collapsing ground and platforms that shoot out of the [[lava]]. [[Donkey Kong|Donkey]] and [[Diddy Kong]] must carefully jump from one platform to another while avoiding the lava below them. About halfway through the level, the [[Kong]]s must climb up this rocky tower while avoiding the oncoming lava that is rising. Completing the level leads to the Volcano's boss stage, [[Tiki Tong Terror]], where the Kongs face the [[Tiki Tong|final boss]] of the game.

==Overview==

[[File:DKCR Red Red Rising 2.png|thumb|left|250px|The Kongs stand on a platform that is surrounded by rising lava]]

The ceiling blocking their path opens eventually, enabling them to climb the area above with more platforms that do not appear until they land on the platform previous to it. Soon, Donkey and Diddy make their way to a section full of stationary platforms. The letter O and some other collectibles are on a few of these platforms, but there are also dozens of fireballs moving along them. If the heroes manage to dodge them, they can access a higher area with both walls moving back and forth around them. Basalt sticks out of the walls that they can stand and climb on. They can travel upwards with the help of the basalt platforms and then reach a lone platform hanging out of the wall with a Tiki Goon on it. A piece of the wall juts out of the opposite wall that this platform is placed on. A Tiki Goon is on this wall, along with a [[Banana|Banana Bunch]]. When the Banana Bunch is grabbed, another chunk of the wall tilts towards the primates, allowing them to climb more of the tall level portion. Three Tiki Goons appear on the platform as they approach, and small platforms also appear above. If they continue upwards with them, they can access a section with a trio of platforms. A fireball bounces on the three platforms. Another platform with a [[Puzzle Piece (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Puzzle Piece]] above it also emerges from the wall under the fireball enemy.

|align="center"|K

|When the Kongs appear on the fourth projecting platform in the level, a fifth one with the letter K will appear just before it from the lava. They must jump to this platform and then quickly hop of the following one to progress safely.

|-

|align="center"|O

|The letter O is in the area full of moving fireballs shortly after the second Puzzle Piece. It is on a platform to the left of the area. They must watch for fireball enemies to reach it safely.

|-

|align="center"|N

|The letter N is on a bony platform just after the level's only Tiki Tank. The player needs to avoid the Tiki and grab the letter before the rising lava touches them.

===Puzzle Pieces===

|When the Kongs land on the large platform sinking into the lava after the first area of projecting platforms, they should pay attention to the lava pool to the left. When a small section of it begins to bubble, they should prepare to jump above it. With good timing, they can ride on top of the platform that shoots out from the lava bubbles by jumping at the right time. The platform rises high enough to lead them into a [[Bonus Level]], where they must shoot through a moving Barrel Cannon to collect fifty-seven bananas, two Banana Coins, and an [[Extra Life Balloon]]. If everything is collected within thirty seconds, a Puzzle Piece appears.

|Shortly after the first and only checkpoint, the heroes begin to climb up some platforms that only appear after they land on the platform previous to them. As they climb the first few of these, a ceiling stands in their way. Once it moves out of their path, they can see the Puzzle Piece to the left of the area.

|In the first area with basalt platforms protruding from the wall, the duo can find the third Puzzle Piece on the right side of the area as the walls move together.

|-

|align="center"|4

|When the primates reach the fireball enemy bouncing on the trio of platforms just before the letter N, they should notice a platform emerging from the wall below with the fourth Puzzle Piece. They can simply drop down to the platform to grab it.

|-

|align="center"|5

|In the final area of basalt platforms protruding from the wall, the Kongs can find the fifth and final Puzzle Piece in the top-left portion of the section. It is only visible for them to grab when the basalt-covered walls move together.
