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: Diddy's Kong Quest'', 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. In ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', the ropes only blink their eyes before vanishing, but in ''Donkey Kong Land 2'', their entire body blinks instead. Some ropes vanish and reappear at a quicker rate, which is especially evident when Diddy and Dixie must use two of them to reach a [[Bonus Barrel]]. | |||
'''Ropes''',<ref> | |||
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 momentarily. | |||
