Editing Toxic waste

{{quote|So, dude, think you're a pro pilot now, do you? Rebuild the [[DK statue]], but beware of entering the toxic waste.

'''Toxic waste''' (also called '''Acid''')<ref>{{file link|Toxic Tower concept.jpg|Concept art of Toxic Tower}}</ref> is an uncommon obstacle functioning similarly to [[Poison (obstacle)|poison]].

Toxic waste first appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', exclusively in the [[level]] [[Toxic Tower (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Toxic Tower]], as well as in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''{{'}}s equivalent of the [[Toxic Tower (Donkey Kong Land 2)|same name]]. Toxic waste functions identically between both appearances. The level involves having to climb a tower as it gradually fills with toxic waste, while being transformed into multiple [[Animal Friends]]. If a player touches the toxic waste, they will take damage until they lose a life. In the [[Donkey Kong Country 2 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]] of ''Donkey Kong Country 2'', a [[Funky's Flights (Bonus Game)|Funky's Flights]] level called [[Toxic Kongstruction]] has the [[Kong]]s swerving around in their [[Gyrocopter]] while collecting pieces of a golden statue of [[Donkey Kong]]. Many of the pieces are submerged in toxic waste, but shooting the buttons on the walls can temporarily lower the toxic waste so that the pieces can be collected. Otherwise, if the player touches the toxic waste, the Gyrocopter will explode.
