'''Swinger Flinger''' is the temple level of [[Lost Mangroves]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'', and the first temple level in the game. The level focuses on platforming with vines and avoiding [[Spike (obstacle)|spike traps]]. As with all temple levels in the game and ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'', Swinger Flinger features no checkpoint booths.

The music that plays in this level, and every second temple level after it, is a cover of the latter half of the "[[DK Island Swing]]" theme that first plays in [[Jungle Hijinxs (Donkey Kong Country)|Jungle Hijinxs]] in the original ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''.

In [[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze#Time Attack|Time Attack]] mode, a time of 1:31.00 is required to get a gold medal, a time of 1:42.00 for silver, and a time of 1:55.00 for bronze.

==Overview==
In the first part of the level, the Kongs must jump between several swinging vines to get across the bottomless pit, while also avoiding the [[fireball]]s shot by [[Hot Hootz]]es below. The Kongs will then encounter more obstacles, including platforms that, once landed on, will start to roll along a track, and platforms suspended by ropes, which will burn and cause the platforms to fall once the Kongs make contact with one. There are also stationary spiked obstacles and swinging vines with spikes the Kongs must avoid by ducking or jumping over them, depending on the situation.

After the halfway point, the Kongs will need to climb up some static vines to proceed further, while avoiding spikes that extend and retract from the walls. When the Kongs reach a series of four vines, they are forced to jump between them to avoid the spikes falling from the ceiling while climbing up. In the final section, the Kongs must swiftly jump from vine to vine (and occasionally on some [[Hootz]]es), as there is a moving boulder at the top that will cause any wooden beam suspending a vine it rolls over to collapse. After that, the Kongs will reach the final vine leading to the [[Barrel Cannon]], which blasts them to the end of the stage, where the [[mysterious relic]] is held.

==Trivia==
*In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', a song titled "Swinger Flinger" appears in the [[Jungle Hijinxs (stage)|Jungle Hijinxs]] stage and every ''Donkey Kong'' series stage, respectively.<ref>Nintendo World Report TV. (November 19, 2018). [https://youtu.be/l9vIcOEXO5E Duck Hunt Fights Rathalos - Super Smash Bros Ultimate Classic Mode]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved November 19, 2018.</ref> However, this name is incorrect, as the song that plays is first heard in [[Bopopolis]], the second temple level. This error is not present in the Japanese versions of ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' and ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''.
