'''Seabed Shanty''', named '''Coral''' in the [[Donkey Kong Land III#Time Attack Mode|Time Attack]] mode, is the second level of ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'' and of the first world, [[Cape Codswallop]]. Following after [[Red Wharf]], Seabed Shanty is the first underwater level. It involves [[Dixie Kong]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] having to swim between the large coral reefs and avoiding enemies along the path. There are three [[Animal Barrel]]s of [[Enguarde]], each in a different part of the level. The [[Kong]]s can optionally transform into Enguarde, who can defeat the enemies in his path. The different paths of Seabed Shanty make it like a maze, but there are formations of [[banana]]s pointing the path to the end. Seabed Shanty is one of the twelve playable levels in Time Attack mode, where the [[Level Flag]] has to be reached within one minute and twenty seconds. Unlike other levels in Time Attack, a hidden shortcut is required to reach the [[Level Flag]] on time; toward the end, the Kongs have to swim up a long, slanted pathway of coral until going into the wall, where a [[Barrel Cannon]] will catch them and blast them through a few more and lastly to the Level Flag.
'''Seabed Shanty''' is the second level in the ''[[Donkey Kong (series)|Donkey Kong]]'' game, ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. Located in the south-east of [[Cape Codswallop]], it is the second level of the area.  
==Layout==
The level begins with the Kongs swimming through a wide, underwater path. If they curve around the bend, they can find an [[Animal Barrel]] with Enguarde in it, though it is completely optional to get him. Traveling through more of the level, the heroes follow several arrows, directing them to an area occupied by some Bazzas. Avoiding the swift enemies, they continue along the path, making some twists and turns and occasionally meeting Bazzas. Hovering downwards from a group of Bazzas, the Kongs move past more fish foes and travel to the left at the bottom of the area. Soon, they pass a [[No Animal Sign]], which turns Enguarde back into the Kongs if he was used. Farther into the level, the apes swim along the long passageways and soon find [[KONG Letters|the letter O]], as well as the [[Star Barrel]].


About halfway through the level, the heroes head downward through a long pathway. With the help of some banana trails, they soon reach the letter N. After they swim downwards a little more, they have to go east and swim through a slanted pathway around many Lurchins. Going north from here, they meet some Bazzas and then another Animal Barrel. Just as before, the Kongs can optionally turn into Enguarde. Continuing through the stage, the apes encounter more Lurchins and then have to travel downwards past the letter G. Moving down a long, wide pathway, they have to avoid even more enemies, and then follow an arrow to the east. If they swim through this pathway, they find a flagpole. Touching the flagpole ends the level.
This level takes place in the arm of the sea that separates the first wharf from the rest of the area. Therefore, it is also the first underwater level in the game. To complete it, [[Dixie Kong]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] must swim between the large coral reefs, avoiding the numerous [[Koco]]s, [[Bounty Bass]]es and [[Bazza]]s. The [[Kong]]s will encounter many [[Lurchin]]s in the second half of the level as well. Fortunately, [[Enguarde the Swordfish|Enguarde]] will help Dixie and Kiddy deal with their opponents, until the end of the level. With his sharp bill, he can be quite a help on the monkeys' quest. Seabed Shanty can also be considered as quite a labyrinth, but in many places arrow-shaped [[banana]]s will show the right path to follow.  


==Enemies==
Seabed Shanty is one of the only levels in ''Donkey Kong Land III'' where the [[DK Coin]] can be found without having to defeat a [[Koin]]. Actually, in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble]]'', there was a small cave at the end of each "Coral" level, in which the Kongs could find the Koin. Such caves do not appear in the [[Game Boy]] sequel.
The following enemies appear in the following quantities:
*[[Bazza]] channels: 8 (each spawn an indefinite number of Bazzas)
*[[Bounty Bass]]: 7 (5 in the main level, 2 in a Bonus Level)
*[[Koco]]: 17 (14 in the main level, 3 in a Bonus Level)
*[[Lurchin]]: 18

===DK Coin===
About halfway through the level, the heroes head downward through a long pathway. With the help of some banana trails, they soon reach the letter N. After they swim downwards a little more, they have to go east and swim through a slanted pathway around many Lurchins. Going north from here, they meet some Bazzas and then another Animal Barrel. Just as before, the Kongs can optionally turn into Enguarde. Continuing through the stage, the apes encounter more Lurchins and then have to travel downwards past the letter G. Moving down a long, wide pathway, they have to avoid even more enemies, and then follow an arrow to the east. If they swim through this pathway, they find a flagpole. Touching the flagpole ends the level.
[[File:Seabed Shanty GB DK Coin.png|thumb|The location of the DK Coin]]
Near the end of the level, there is a trail of bananas pointing downward. Instead of taking the main path, the Kongs or Enguarde must instead swim upwards while moving around the coral reefs and enemies. Like other underwater levels, the [[DK Coin]] is obtained by itself, without defeating a [[Koin]], and it can found in the top corner of the coral reef.

==Bonus Levels==
==Secrets==
Seabed Shanty has two [[Bonus room|Bonus Levels]], listed by type:
===Bonus Levels===
*'''Bash the Baddies!''': When the Kongs find the letter N, they must swim down to the left until they reach the bottom of the area. They must pass two Lurchins in a small area to reach the nearby [[Bonus Barrel]]. In the [[Bonus Level]], the Kongs transform into Enguarde from an Animal Barrel. Enguarde has thirty seconds to swim around and defeat three Kocos and two Bounty Basses. After defeating every enemy, the [[Bonus Coin (Donkey Kong franchise)|Bonus Coin]] appears just below the starting point for Enguarde to collect.
*When the monkeys find the letter N, they need to hover downwards and travel to the left at the bottom of the area. If they can avoid the two Lurchins in their path, they come up to a [[Bonus Barrel]]. It blasts them to a [[Bonus Level]], where they need to swim through the underwater area, as Enguarde, defeating several Kocos and Bounty Basses. If they beat each enemy within the time limit, they are allowed to grab the [[Bonus Coin]], found under the start, with their remaining time.
*'''Collect the Stars!''': After the letter G, the Kongs or Enguarde must swim through a long, wide pathway between the corals. They can find a nearby group of bananas shaping a right arrow. Instead of going in the specified direction, the Kongs or Enguarde must ignore it and swim below into a small oval-shaped area with the second Bonus Barrel. In the Bonus Level, the Kongs or Enguarde have 30 seconds to swim through a large and collect 45 [[star (Donkey Kong franchise)|star]]s. After the Kongs or Enguarde collect every star, the Bonus Coin appears at the bottom-center of the area.
*After the letter G, the Kongs swim through a long, wide pathway between the corals. They soon find an arrow pointing to the right. They must ignore it and continue downwards to find a Bonus Barrel. It takes them to a Bonus Level, where they have to swim through a large, open area, collecting forty stars in forty seconds. If they can collect all these stars within the time limit, the Bonus Coin will appear, which must be collected within the remaining time.

*Near the end of the level, the Kongs can see an arrow pointing downwards. They must instead swim upwards, moving around the coral reefs and enemies. Soon, they find the [[DK Coin]], free from a [[Koin]].

==Trivia==
[[Image:Seabed Shanty shortcut.png|thumb|The shortcut needed to beat the level under 1:20:00.]]
*This level appears in the game's [[Donkey Kong Land III#Time Attack Mode|Time Attack]] mode, unlocked after beating [[Baron K. Roolenstein]] in the [[Lost World (Donkey Kong Land III)|Lost World]]. It is required to beat under 1:20:00. Because the Kongs are not able to swim as fast underwater, the level would be considered impossible to complete in such a time, without the aid of a shortcut. This considerably well-hidden shortcut can be found near the end of the level, where the monkeys will swim up a long, slanted pathway of coral. If they swim into the wall, they will end up being shot through a long chain of [[Barrel Cannon]]s, taking them to the area just before the flagpole.
