While ghostly ropes act as normal [[rope]]s, their main discerning is their ability to vanish and reappear every few seconds. In ''Donkey Kong Country 2'', ropes make their first and only appearance in [[Ghostly Grove (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|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.

In both games, [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong]] must utilize them as normal ropes, specifically to safely cross over pitfalls or reach higher areas. They must often hop between ropes since they momentarily vanish. When a rope is about to vanish, it flashes as an indicator for the [[Kong]]s to get off, otherwise they lose grip and fall down. Some ropes have a quicker cycle of vanishing and reappearing, which is mostly evident when the Kongs must two of such to reach a [[Bonus Barrel]].

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]].
 
While these ropes have not reappeared since, a similar enemy appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' named [[Boo Barrel]]s, which also have a cycle of vanishing momentarily.


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.
