They are long vine apparitions that can be used like normal [[rope]]s, except ghostly ropes vanish and reappear every few seconds continuously. In ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', ropes make their first and only appearance in [[Ghostly Grove (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Ghostly Grove]]. They also appear in the [[Ghostly Grove (Donkey Kong Land 2)|level counterpart]] of ''Donkey Kong Land 2'' and at the very start of its [[Web Woods (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Web Woods counterpart]]. These ghostly ropes have to be used as normal ropes by [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]] to safely cross over [[pit]]s or reach higher areas. A rope flashes every few seconds to indicate that it is about to vanish. Some ropes vanish and reappear at a quicker rate, which is especially evident when ropes are used to make it to a [[Bonus Barrel]]. | |

| In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'', there are similar obstacles named [[Boo Barrel]]s, which also have a cycle of vanishing temporarily. | | In ''Donkey Kong Country 2'' and ''Donkey Kong Land 2'', Ropes are first encountered in the level [[Ghostly Grove]], which is the first level in the area [[Gloomy Gulch]]. Here, Ropes appear and constantly disappear. [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]] must use Ropes like normal ropes to cross Ghostly Grove's various large abysses. If the Rope Diddy and Dixie are currently on disappears, they will fall, so they must hop from Rope to Rope quickly. As the level progresses, Ropes appear and disappear at an even faster rate. Ropes later appear for a second time in the level [[Web Woods (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Web Woods]], but only in ''Donkey Kong Land 2''. However, they are seen only at the very beginning of the level and are not seen again from that point onward. |
