'''Spiky Surprise''' is the third level of the secret world [[Cloud (world)|Cloud]] from ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns HD]]''. It represents the third world of the game, the [[Ruins]].

As the main hazard, this level features many [[Spike (obstacle)|spike]] traps, which the Kongs must flee from. It also contains switches that cause platforms to pop out of grooves, enabling the player to reach higher or farther platforms. A small portion of the level is based on blasting through [[Barrel Cannon]]s.

In the [[Donkey Kong Country Returns#Time Attack|Time Attack]] mode, a time of 1:19:00 is needed for a shiny gold medal, a time of 1:27:00 for gold, a time of 1:40:00 for silver, and a time of 2:10:00 for bronze.
==Overview==
Donkey Kong and [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] land near a slope. Moving backwards, there is a wall with turf and a plant holding a [[Puzzle Piece (Donkey Kong Country series)|Puzzle Piece]]. Walking to the right, they encounter two [[Tiki Goon]]s, a [[Stilts (enemy)|Stilts]] and a spiked plank. A switch activates a platform to another Tiki Goon and a Barrel Cannon. It blasts the Kongs upwards. On the next floor, they must press more switches to traverse a walk full of spikes, while avoiding [[Tiki Bomber]]s. A [[Tiki Tank]] and a [[Flaming Tiki Buzz]] are found before the checkpoint.

Another Barrel Cannon blasts the player to a vertical corridor where its spiked walls slowly close, forcing them to climb the platforms quickly while dealing with Tiki Goons and a switch. The next area features more switches, a Tiki Bomber and Stilts. A big switch makes a wall of appear spikes move to the right. The Kongs must run through a narrow passage to avoid being hit by the spikes. Following it there is a short area out of the ruins where they must blast through Barrel Cannons avoiding [[Tiki Zing]]s. Returning to the ruins, Donkey Kong must again avoid a wall of spikes until he reaches a Blast Barrel that launches him to the [[Slot Machine Barrel]].
