Kannon's Klaim is the seventh level of Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and the second level of Crocodile Cauldron. It is the first level set in a mine shaft. Like the rigging levels from Gangplank Galleon, the level involves Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong traveling a vertical path to reach the top of the level. To progress through the level, the Kongs must jump from wooden platforms and blast from Blast Barrels and some Arrow Barrels. Kannons make their first level appearance as the main and titular enemy: their attack is to either blast cannonballs or barrels at the Kongs. Mini-Neckys also make their first in-game level appearance in Kannon's Klaim.

In the Game Boy Advance version's Sound Test, the background music for mine shaft levels is also named Kannon's Klaim.

Layout[edit]

Kannon's Klaim in the Game Boy Advance version

The Kongs begin the platform on a wooden platform with two Neeks walking along it. There is a Blast Barrel above here that can blast the heroes up to a DK Barrel and then back down onto the platform. If the heroes head to the end of the platform, they can find some bananas hidden above an abyss that form that shape of an arrow pointing east where a Bonus Barrel is located. A Blast Barrel is also near here that can blast them onto a higher platform with a barrel-shooting Kannon on it. A Banana Bunch is to the left of the platform in the air, while a hook is above the platform for the heroes to grab onto. They can find a Blast Barrel above the Kannon, and it can be used to blast them to another barrel, which can then send them onto a solid platform with two Neeks and a Kruncha on it. To the right of these foes, they can find a pair of explosive TNT Barrels. After the primates pass the Kruncha, they can find a few Blast Barrels ahead of them that they must use to blast over a wide abyss. The letter K and some bananas are above the barrels, which are followed by a small platform with two Klomps on it.

A Blast Barrel is above them that can shoot the Kongs onto a platform with a Kannon on it. They can use the barrels shot by this foe to reach a nearby DK Barrel placed high in the air. Several Blast Barrels are to the right of the Kannon, and the heroes must use them to rise through the level. As they shoot upwards with the barrels, they reach a Flitter that is surrounded by a Zinger. They can use the Flitter to bounce to a hidden set of barrels that can shoot them in a circle to many bananas and a Banana Coin. If the primates shift to the left when the blast out of the Blast Barrel to the left the previously-mentioned Flitter, they can land in another barrel on the main path of the level. They can use this barrel and the barrels ahead of it to reach a platform higher in the level. As they approach this platform, they come up to a Flitter that they must bounce on to cross a gap between two of the barrels. Once the platform is reached, the heroes can find a TNT Barrel and another platform that supports a barrel-shooting Kannon. The letter O is high above this platform, which is followed by two more platforms. The first of the platforms holds a Klomp, while the next one carries a Kannon that shoots kannonballs at the Kongs. If the heroes shoot upwards with the Blast Barrel above this foe, they can reach a platform with a DK Barrel on it and a Star Barrel over it.

Dixie Kong shoots out of a Blast Barrel

A Zinger is to the left of here, and it guards a Blast Barrel that can shoot the heroes towards more Blast Barrels. As they travel to the west above an abyss with these Blast Barrels, they must also watch out for a few Zingers. Soon, the primates reach a barrel that can blast them higher up to a platform that holds a TNT Barrel. As they head across this platform, a Mini-Necky dives at them. After they pass the enemy, they reach a Zinger that guards two Blast Barrels. The first of the barrels is aimed to the north towards a higher platform, while the second, which floats under a Banana Coin, is positioned towards the first barrel. They can use the first barrel to blast onto the higher platform, where they can find two Mini-Neckys, a DK Barrel, and, to the left of the platform, a Bonus Barrel. A platform is to the right of here that sits under a Blast Barrel, which can blast the heroes past a Zinger and to some more Blast Barrels. These barrels shoot them in a curvy path into many bananas and then into one last barrel that can shoot them a small distance into the air.

A platform and a Zinger is to the left of this barrel, and the platform holds a TNT Barrel. Another platform is ahead of here that supports a Kannon that shoots kannonballs to attack. The duo can find a Blast Barrel behind it that can blast them upwards to more barrels. As they climb upwards through the shaft with these barrels, they must watch for a few Zingers that hover over the barrels. Soon, the primates are blasted onto a solid platform with a Mini-Necky near it. A platform is placed to the right of this foe that holds a Diddy Barrel with the letter N above it. The Diddy Barrel can blast Diddy Kong, but not Dixie Kong, to a few Blast Barrels that can fire them in a circle to many bananas and a Banana Coin in a hidden area. To the left of the aforementioned Diddy Barrel, the heroes can find a trio of Blast Barrels lined up under a Zinger that hovers over them. If they manage to dodge this enemy and reach the last of the three barrels, they are blasted upwards onto a platform with another Blast Barrel above it. A gap is to the right of here, and on the other side of it, the heroes can find a hidden platform with a barrel-shooting Kannon and a Bonus Barrel on it. If the primates enter the nearby Blast Barrel, they are shot up to a platform with a Treasure Chest that contains the letter G on it. As they head across the platform, Mini-Neckys attack them. There are two more platforms ahead of here, and once the heroes reach the second of the platforms, they can find an End of Level Target with a golden feather (found exclusively in the Game Boy Advance version of the game) above it. If they hit the target, they complete the level successfully. Additionally, they can bounce off of a nearby Mini-Necky and then hit the target to win a prize from it. The prizes include either a Banana Bunch, a Banana Coin, or a Red Balloon.

Enemies[edit]

The following enemies appear in the following quantities:

Flitter (8)^a
Kannon (6)
Klomp (3)
Kruncha (blue) (1)
Mini-Necky (9)
Neek (4)

^a - Of the 8 Flitters, only two of them are in the main level, while the other six are in a Bonus Level.

Items and objects[edit]

The following items and objects appear in the following quantities:

KONG Letters[edit]

Diddy Kong jumps to the letter O

K: After the first Kruncha in the level, Diddy and Dixie must blast from two Arrow Barrels. From the second Arrow Barrel to the left, the Kongs must blast to the right to reach the letter K.
O: After the first Flitter, the Kongs must blast from two Blast Barrels to land on a wooden platform with a TNT Barrel. To the right, the Kongs must jump on a slightly higher platform, which has a Kannon firing barrels. The letter O is hovering to the top-left of the platform, and can only be reached if the Kongs use a team up throw or bounce from a barrel.
N: Some time after the Star Barrel, the Kongs must blast from a group of three Arrow Barrels while avoiding the Zinger hovering between the second and third Arrow Barrels. After this, Diddy and Dixie are blasted up to a platform where a Mini-Necky swoops at them. The letter N is hovering above a Diddy Barrel, which only Diddy can enter. The Kongs are blasted between a few more Blast Barrels, which some bananas and a single Banana Coin appear between. After this, the Kongs are blasted back to the main path.
G: After the letter N, the Kongs must blast from three more Arrow Barrels to land on a wooden platform. Another Arrow Barrel is above the wooden platform, and it blasts the Kongs onto a higher wooden platform which with a Treasure Chest. It contains the letter G, and the Kongs can break it open by hitting it into a nearby Mini-Necky.

Key items[edit]

The location of the Video Game Hero Coin

Cranky's Video Game Hero Coin: At the very start of the first Bonus Level, Dixie must continue right and use her Helicopter Spin to cross a wide gap and land on a platform with the Video Game Hero Coin. A Dixie Barrel is hovering above the Video Game Hero Coin, and it blasts Dixie upward and back onto the main path. Not counting the Lost World levels, Kannon's Klaim is the only level that has its Video Game Hero Coin hidden within a Bonus Level, though the reward is still a Kremkoin.
Golden feather (Game Boy Advance version): At the very end of the level, the golden feather is hovering over the End of Level Target. They can reach it by either jumping onto a Mini-Necky or by performing a team up throw.
Photograph (Game Boy Advance version): After the letter N, the Kongs must blast from three Arrow Barrels, the third of which blasts them onto a small platform on the left. A nearby Kannon is blasting barrels from the right side, and the Kongs must bounce on the barrels to reach the Kannon, who has a photograph over its head. By defeating the Kannon, Diddy and Dixie obtain a photograph of a Kannon in the third page of the scrapbook.

Bonus Levels[edit]

The first Bonus Level

Kannon's Klaim has three Bonus Levels, listed by type:

Find the Token!: At the very start, the Kongs encounter two Neeks. Instead of jumping into the Arrow Barrel above, Dixie must use her Helicopter Spin to cross a gap to the right, following the direction of bananas arranged in the shape of a right arrow. This leads to a Bonus Barrel at the bottom right. In the Bonus Level, the Kongs have 30 seconds to obtain the Kremkoin. A DK Barrel is at the start of the Bonus Level, as both Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong are needed to blast from the respective Diddy & Dixie Barrels. From the first pair of these barrels, either Kong must enter their barrel to blast up onto a few small platforms, taking them to the next pair of Diddy & Dixie Barrels. Following this is four small platforms, and entering the Dixie Barrel blasts the Kongs onto a small platform, where a Diddy Barrel. The Diddy Barrel blasts the Kongs onto another small platform with a Dixie Barrel, which finally blasts the Kongs to a long platform, where they can collect the Kremkoin to the very right.
Find the Token!: Shortly after the Star Barrel is a platform with a TNT Barrel and a Mini-Necky. They must jump to the right into an Arrow Barrel, which blasts them up to another platform. From the left edge of the platform the Kongs must use a Team-up throw to enter into a Bonus Barrel. Alternatively, the Kongs can enter the Bonus Barrel by continuing in the level until they land on a small platform with the TNT Barrel. From there, they must jump down to the left to land into the Bonus Level. Diddy and Dixie have 25 seconds to collect the Kremkoin at the top. To do so, the Kongs must blast from ten Arrow Barrels. The last Arrow Barrel points northeast to the Kremkoin, which is hovering over a small platform, where the Kongs exit the Bonus Level.
Find the Token!: After the letter N, the Kongs must blast from three Arrow Barrels to be sent up onto a higher platform. To the right, a Kannon is on another platform, firing barrels at Diddy and Dixie. The Kongs must bounce from the barrels to reach the Kannon. The Bonus Barrel is sitting on the platform, to the right of the Kannon. In the Bonus Level, the Kongs have 10 seconds to collect the Kremkoin. They must bounce from six Flitters to get across a large gap and reach the Kremkoin, which is hovering over a platform to the top-right.

Warp Barrel[edit]

The location of the Warp Barrel

When the Kongs encounter the first Kruncha, they must roll jump into a gap to their left and jump to the right to land into an invisible Warp Barrel beneath the wooden platform. The Kongs must go through the warp room, which has a group of bananas shaping an exclamation mark. By exiting from the right, Diddy and Dixie are sent back into the main level, onto a Mini-Necky right before the End of Level Target.

-'''Kannon's Klaim''' is the seventh level of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. It is the second area of [[Crocodile Cauldron]] in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' and the second area of [[Krem Cauldron]] in ''Donkey Kong Land 2''.
+'''Kannon's Klaim''' is the seventh level of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and the second level of [[Crocodile Cauldron]]. It is the first level set in a mine shaft. Like the rigging levels from [[Gangplank Galleon (world)|Gangplank Galleon]], the level involves [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]] traveling a vertical path to reach the top of the level. To progress through the level, the [[Kong]]s must jump from wooden platforms and blast from [[Blast Barrel]]s and some [[Arrow Barrel]]s. [[Kannon]]s make their first level appearance as the main and titular enemy: their attack is to either blast cannonballs or [[barrel]]s at the Kongs. [[Mini-Necky]]s also make their first in-game level appearance in Kannon's Klaim.
-This is the first level to take place inside of a mine shaft. Throughout much of the level, the [[Kong]]s find themselves climbing the shaft with the use of many [[Auto Fire Barrel]]s that can shoot them a short distance into the air. Due to the barrels not shooting them high enough to progress to each platform, they must shift to the left or right while in mid-air to reach another Barrel Cannons to help them advance further. The featured enemies here are none other than [[Kannon]]s, who are a persistent threat throughout the level. [[Mini-Necky|Mini-Neckies]] also mark their return from the original ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', and they try to attack [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong]] by swooping down at them. The mine is also populated by several [[Neek]]s, [[Kruncha]]s, [[Flitter]]s, [[Klomp]]s and [[Zinger]]s, who have also appeared in previous levels. A unique part of this level is that it is the only level outside of the [[Lost World (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Lost World]] to have its [[DK Coin]] hidden within a [[Bonus Level]] (the actual ''prize'' of the Bonus Level is still a [[Kremkoin]]).
+In the [[Game Boy Advance]] version's Sound Test, the background music for mine shaft levels is also named Kannon's Klaim.

+==Enemies==
-===''Donkey Kong Land 2===
+The following enemies appear in the following quantities:
-[[File:KannonsKlaim65DD.jpg|thumb|180px|Dixie Kong stands next to an Auto Fire Barrel.]]
-The Kongs begin the level on a platform under a DK Barrel. A Neek and an Auto Fire Barrel are ahead of here, and the barrel can be used to shoot up onto another platform that holds an additional Auto Fire Barrel. This barrel, along with another barrel near it, can be used to blast towards a third platform with another Auto Fire Barrel above it. This barrel can help them reach a larger platform with a Neek marching along it. An Auto Fire Barrel is to the right of the platform, and it can blast the heroes to an additional Auto Fire Barrel that is aimed to a barrel in a higher area.
-This Auto Fire Barrel can blast them to two more Auto Fire Barrels, which are useful in helping the primates reach a platform with another Neek on it. They can find another Auto Fire Barrel near the Neek, and they can use it to reach some more barrels that they are able to use to reach a platform. A Zinger is placed next to the last barrel before this platform, which is followed by two more platforms. The last of the platforms holds a Neek and is located under an Auto Fire Barrel that can help them reach some barrels farther upwards. As they blast to the west with these barrels, they come up to a Flitter that flies in their way. Shortly after passing the foe, they reach an Auto Fire Barrel in a higher part of the level, and it can send them onto a long platform with a Neek on it and a DK Barrel at the end of it in the air. Two hooks are to the right of the DK Barrel, and the letter O floats under them. If the primates jump to the small platform to the left of here, they can find a Star Barrel.

-A hook is located to the right of the Star Barrel, and it can help them reach a platform with three more hooks above it. They can use the hooks to reach an Auto Fire Barrel, which they must activate themselves to safely pass a moving Zinger. After they shoot through this barrel, they reach some more barrels that automatically blast them through the area and onto a platform that supports a Neek. A hook is hidden above one of the Auto Fire Barrels to the right of this platform, and if the heroes drop down from the right of it, they can reach a hidden platform with a [[DK Coin]] on it. If the heroes head left from where the hidden hook is located, they can find another Auto Fire Barrel. Some more of these barrels is below this platform, and they can blast the heroes to the letter N and then to some previous Auto Fire Barrels that can blast them back to the platform. If the primates enter the Auto Fire Barrel above this platform, they are able to reach a smaller platform with another Auto Fire Barrel over it.
+{{footnote|note|a|Of the 8 Flitters, only two of them are in the main level, while the other six are in a Bonus Level.}}
-They can use the barrel to shoot towards some more Auto Fire Barrels, some of which that are guarded by Zingers. The barrels can help them reach a platform with a Mini-Necky above it, who swoops down at the duo when they approach. Another platform follows the enemy, and it holds a Neek and the letter G, which is placed directly under a nearby Banana Coin. A small platform is above here to aid the primates in reaching a platform in a higher area that is located next to an Auto Fire Barrel. This barrel can blast them to another Auto Fire Barrel, which can then send them onto a platform that holds a kannonball-shooting Kannon and a Banana Coin. If the Kongs access the Auto Fire Barrel placed above this enemy, they can blast onto a platform with a spring on it. The level is completed successfully if they bounce on this spring.

+===KONG Letters===
-*To find the first Bonus Level, Dixie Kong must travel east from the start of the level. Instead of jumping in the barrel above, she should hover off of the platform to the right. There are bananas in the form of an arrow pointing to a nearby Bonus Barrel, which she can access to be sent into a Bonus Level. In the bonus, Diddy and Dixie must climb up to the top platform by hopping into barrels with pictures of their faces on them. Dixie can only go in barrels with her face on it, and Diddy Kong can only go through barrels with his face on it. A DK Barrel is provided at the beginning of the bonus if one of the Kongs are missing. Once they both alternate sides and get to the top of the Bonus Level, they can discover a Kremkoin. They have 30 seconds to complete this Bonus Level.
+[[File:Kannons Klaim DKC2 shot 2.png|thumb|Diddy Kong jumps to the letter O]]
-*Starting at the Star Barrel, the heroes should head across an area full of Auto Fire Barrels to soon reach a solid platform with another Auto Fire Barrel and a Zinger to the right of it. Once they shoot onto a higher platform with this barrel, they can head over the abyss to the left to find a Bonus Barrel that leads to a Bonus Level. Here, they must shoot to the top of the area with the use of many Auto Fire Barrels, until they get to the top, where a Kremkoin waits to be collected. They have 25 seconds to complete this bonus.
+*'''K:''' After the first Kruncha in the level, Diddy and Dixie must blast from two Arrow Barrels. From the second Arrow Barrel to the left, the Kongs must blast to the right to reach the letter K.
-*After the Kongs reach the letter N, they must travel west and shoot through three Auto Fire Barrels under a Zinger. When they land on the platform above here, Dixie Kong must hover to the right. There is a platform with a Kannon on it to the right of here, as well as a Bonus Barrel, which leads to the third Bonus Level. Here, the group needs to bounce along several Flitters to cross a wide abyss and reach the Kremkoin at the end of the area. They have only 10 seconds to reach the special coin.
+*'''O:''' After the first Flitter, the Kongs must blast from two Blast Barrels to land on a wooden platform with a TNT Barrel. To the right, the Kongs must jump on a slightly higher platform, which has a Kannon firing barrels. The letter O is hovering to the top-left of the platform, and can only be reached if the Kongs use a team up throw or bounce from a barrel.
-====DK Coin====
+*'''N:''' Some time after the Star Barrel, the Kongs must blast from a group of three Arrow Barrels while avoiding the Zinger hovering between the second and third Arrow Barrels. After this, Diddy and Dixie are blasted up to a platform where a Mini-Necky swoops at them. The letter N is hovering above a Diddy Barrel, which only Diddy can enter. The Kongs are blasted between a few more Blast Barrels, which some bananas and a single Banana Coin appear between. After this, the Kongs are blasted back to the main path.
-*In the first Bonus Level, the heroes must travel east and use Dixie Kong to hover across a large abyss, instead of going through the barrel above. When Dixie hovers to the other side of the pit, she can find a DK Coin on a platform.
+*'''G:''' After the letter N, the Kongs must blast from three more Arrow Barrels to land on a wooden platform. Another Arrow Barrel is above the wooden platform, and it blasts the Kongs onto a higher wooden platform which with a Treasure Chest. It contains the letter G, and the Kongs can break it open by hitting it into a nearby Mini-Necky.
-====Warp Barrel====
+{{br}}
-*The primates should roll off of the edge of the platform that holds the first Kruncha and then jump to the right to land in an invisible [[Warp Barrel]], which does not appear visible until entered. It leads them to a small Bonus Level, where they can find a mine shaft-themed area with a group of bananas in it that form an exclamation mark. If they head to the end of this area, they are taken back into the main level next to the End of Level Target.
+===Key items===
-====Golden Feather (Game Boy Advance version only)====
+[[File:KannonKlaim-SNES-Coin.png|thumb|The location of the Video Game Hero Coin]]
-*At the end of the level, the group should see the Golden Feather above the End of Level Target. They can either jump on a Mini-Necky and bounce high enough to grab it, or use their [[Team-up]] move (where both Kongs are needed) to throw one another up to grab it. They should be able to get the feather after performing one of those moves.
+*'''[[DK Coin|Cranky's Video Game Hero Coin]]:''' At the very start of the first Bonus Level, Dixie must continue right and use her Helicopter Spin to cross a wide gap and land on a platform with the Video Game Hero Coin. A [[Diddy & Dixie Barrels|Dixie Barrel]] is hovering above the Video Game Hero Coin, and it blasts Dixie upward and back onto the main path. Not counting the [[Lost World (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Lost World]] levels, Kannon's Klaim is the only level that has its Video Game Hero Coin hidden within a [[Bonus Level]], though the reward is still a [[Kremkoin]].
-====Photograph (Game Boy Advance version only)====
+*'''[[Golden feather]] (Game Boy Advance version):''' At the very end of the level, the golden feather is hovering over the End of Level Target. They can reach it by either jumping onto a Mini-Necky or by performing a [[team up]] throw.
-*After the monkeys find the letter N over a Diddy Barrel, they should head west and shoot through several Auto Fire Barrels. Once they reach a small platform, the Kongs must jump to a hidden platform to the right of them, which Diddy can only reach with the use of the flying barrels from a nearby Kannon. Once the heroes reach the platform, they can find the previously-mentioned Kannon, who sports a camera icon over its head. They should defeat the Kannon to gain a [[photograph]] of a Kannon for the first page of their [[scrapbook]].
+*'''[[Photograph]] (Game Boy Advance version):''' After the letter N, the Kongs must blast from three Arrow Barrels, the third of which blasts them onto a small platform on the left. A nearby Kannon is blasting barrels from the right side, and the Kongs must bounce on the barrels to reach the Kannon, who has a photograph over its head. By defeating the Kannon, Diddy and Dixie obtain a photograph of a Kannon in the third page of the [[Scrapbook (Donkey Kong Country series)|scrapbook]].

-====K-O-N-G Letters====
+==Bonus Levels==
-*K: When the heroes reach the third Auto Fire Barrel in the level, they should blast north-east into a barrel higher up, which they should then use to shoot to the right. If they continue over the next Auto Fire Barrel in this area, they fall towards a hidden platform with the letter K above it.
+[[File:Kannon's Klaim Bonus Area 1.png|thumb|The first Bonus Level]]
-*O: The letter O is located under some hooks to the right of the second DK Barrel in the level.
+Kannon's Klaim has three Bonus Levels, listed by type:
-*N: Shortly after the heroes reach the area with the DK Coin, they should head left past a Neek to find an Auto Fire Barrel above them. They should ignore this and head into some Auto Fire Barrels hidden under the platform, which can shoot them to the letter N.
-*G: After the primates pass the letter N and blast upwards with several Auto Fire Barrels, they reach an area of platforms with a Mini-Necky around them. The letter G is on the edge of the platform that follows this foe.
+*'''Find the Token!''': At the very start, the Kongs encounter two Neeks. Instead of jumping into the Arrow Barrel above, Dixie must use her Helicopter Spin to cross a gap to the right, following the direction of bananas arranged in the shape of a right arrow. This leads to a Bonus Barrel at the bottom right. In the Bonus Level, the Kongs have 30 seconds to obtain the [[Kremkoin]]. A [[DK Barrel]] is at the start of the Bonus Level, as both [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]] are needed to blast from the respective [[Diddy & Dixie Barrels]]. From the first pair of these barrels, either Kong must enter their barrel to blast up onto a few small platforms, taking them to the next pair of Diddy & Dixie Barrels. Following this is four small platforms, and entering the Dixie Barrel blasts the Kongs onto a small platform, where a Diddy Barrel. The Diddy Barrel blasts the Kongs onto another small platform with a Dixie Barrel, which finally blasts the Kongs to a long platform, where they can collect the Kremkoin to the very right.
-====Bonus Level====
+*'''Find the Token!''': Shortly after the Star Barrel is a platform with a TNT Barrel and a Mini-Necky. They must jump to the right into an Arrow Barrel, which blasts them up to another platform. From the left edge of the platform the Kongs must use a Team-up throw to enter into a Bonus Barrel. Alternatively, the Kongs can enter the Bonus Barrel by continuing in the level until they land on a small platform with the TNT Barrel. From there, they must jump down to the left to land into the Bonus Level. Diddy and Dixie have 25 seconds to collect the Kremkoin at the top. To do so, the Kongs must blast from ten Arrow Barrels. The last Arrow Barrel points northeast to the Kremkoin, which is hovering over a small platform, where the Kongs exit the Bonus Level.
-[[File:KannonsKlaimL165.PNG|thumb|170px|Diddy Kong shoots to an Auto Fire Barrel in a Bonus Level.]]
+*'''Find the Token!''': After the letter N, the Kongs must blast from three Arrow Barrels to be sent up onto a higher platform. To the right, a Kannon is on another platform, firing barrels at Diddy and Dixie. The Kongs must bounce from the barrels to reach the Kannon. The Bonus Barrel is sitting on the platform, to the right of the Kannon. In the Bonus Level, the Kongs have 10 seconds to collect the Kremkoin. They must bounce from six Flitters to get across a large gap and reach the Kremkoin, which is hovering over a platform to the top-right.
-*To find this Bonus Level, the Kongs must get to the Star Barrel, where they should see a hook to the right of them. They can use it to get to a platform, where there is a barrel nearby. Instead of using this barrel, Dixie Kong must use her special [[Helicopter Twirl]] ability to glide to the left-hand side. There is a hidden platform there, and if the Kongs jump around, they can land in an invisible Bonus Barrel and be taken to the Bonus Level. Here, they must use Auto Fire Barrels and some solid platforms to reach the top of the area within 20 seconds. When they reach the top platform, a Kremkoin appears nearby to grab within the remaining time.
+{{br}}
-====DK Coin====
+==Warp Barrel==
-*Not long after where the Bonus Levels is found, Diddy and Dixie access a Barrel Cannon that they can activate themselves. They must enter this barrel and blast upwards with some more barrels (watching out for a Zinger on the way) to reach a solid platform. To the right of here, they can find a hidden hook above one of the Auto Fire Barrels, and if they drop down to the right of it they can reach a platform with a DK Coin on it.
+[[File:Kannon's Klaim GBA Warp Barrel.png|thumb|left|The location of the Warp Barrel]]
+When the Kongs encounter the first Kruncha, they must roll jump into a gap to their left and jump to the right to land into an invisible [[Warp Barrel]] beneath the wooden platform. The Kongs must go through the warp room, which has a group of bananas shaping an exclamation mark. By exiting from the right, Diddy and Dixie are sent back into the main level, onto a Mini-Necky right before the End of Level Target.
