'''Sunset Shore''' is the fourth level of ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]'', as well as the fourth level in the [[Jungle (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Jungle]] world. A key from [[Cranky Kong's Shop]] is required to access it.

A key from [[Cranky Kong's Shop]] is required to access it.


This level is unique to other jungle themed levels because it is silhouetted. [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] both appear as silhouettes along with the objects around them, with only the sunlit background and the [[Kong]]s' clothing completely visible around the shadows. The silhouetted foreground can make enemies and objects harder to notice. Enemies in this level include [[Awk]]s, [[Frogoon]]s and [[Mimic (Donkey Kong Country series)|Mimics]]. Additionally, some dandelions appear throughout the stage to give the Kongs items when blown on. The end of the level is located inside a dragon-like structure. Some [[Puzzle Piece (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Puzzle Piece]]s and other pickups can only be acquired by standing in a specific place in order for the sun or rocks in the background to align with the Kongs.

The level begins with a straight pathway leading to the first [[DK Barrel]] in the level and a cracked area of land that can be broken to help the Kongs reach an alcove with the letter K of the [[K-O-N-G Letters]] in it. Eventually, the Kongs travel down a hill, and then come across a land bridge with some Awks on it. Two rows of bananas are in the air here. Farther on is another hill that curves downwards. A cracked piece of land is on it with a heart item under it, and Frogoons surround it. The Kongs soon make it to a raised and solid platform with a Mimic on it. Large, stair-like platforms are after it that lead downwards. Bananas move in a circle here, while a Mimic attacks from behind the items. Soon, the Kongs find themselves traveling up a long hill infested with Frogoons, until they reach a bridge. Many more Frogoons are on the bridge, along with three platforms that are positioned vertically. The Kongs can pound in front of them to make them horizontal so they can reach the items above them; the letter O is above the second platform in the middle of the bridge. After the Kongs cross the bridge and head over a raised object, they make their way through a straight and relatively flat area full of more Frogoons. After going up a hill with two long rows of bananas above it, they pass the [[Professor Chops|Tutorial Pig]], who marks the checkpoint.

==Overview==
A few stair-like platforms lead up to the second DK Barrel of the level. A switch is at the top of the level, and following it are some more stair platforms leading downwards. At the bottom of the last stair is a straight area with only some Frogoons on it, along with a cracked piece of land that the Kongs can smash through to reach an alcove in the ground. At the end of this rather flat area, which has some bananas moving in a circle, are some ledges that the Kongs must climb to proceed to a different part of the stage, where there are more Mimics and dandelions, which give an item when blown on. A strange plant is placed just before another bridge that holds the Kongs over the land below. Frogoons, Tiki Goons, and Mimics are on the bridge, along with some vertical platforms that can be made horizontal if the heroes pound in front of them. The bridge is not completely straight; gaps are between some of the bridge parts, with a Frogoon and an alcove, which is covered by a cracked piece of land, with the letter G in it. Ahead of the bridge is a group of bananas that move in a circle and some enemies. At the end of the long, rather empty pathway is a tall structure. If it is pounded into the ground, the mouth of a strange dragon statue located just ahead opens. The primates should journey inside of the statue to access a small room with the [[Slot Machine Barrel]] in it.

Sunset Shore is the fourth level of Donkey Kong Country Returns and its Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo Switch ports, as well as the fourth level in the Jungle world. A key from Cranky Kong's Shop is required to access it.

Sunset Shore is unique in that everything in the stage is silhouetted, featuring a red-yellowish sunset in the background. Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong both appear as silhouettes along with the objects around them, with only the sunlit background and the Kongs' clothing completely visible around the shadows. The silhouetted foreground can make enemies and objects harder to notice.

In the Time Attack mode of the game, a time of 0:53:00 is needed to get a gold medal, a time of 1:03:00 for silver, and a time of 1:45:00 for bronze.

Layout[edit]

Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong jump at a Mimic in Sunset Shore of Donkey Kong Country Returns.
The Kongs travel through the beginning of the level

The level begins with a straight pathway leading to the first DK Barrel in the level and a cracked area of land that can be broken to help the Kongs reach an alcove with the letter K of the K-O-N-G Letters in it. Eventually, the Kongs travel down a hill, and then come across a land bridge with some Awks on it. Two rows of bananas are in the air here. Farther on is another hill that curves downwards. A cracked piece of land is on it with a heart item under it, and Frogoons surround it. The Kongs soon make it to a raised and solid platform with a Mimic on it. Large, stair-like platforms are after it that lead downwards. Bananas move in a circle here, while a Mimic attacks from behind the items. Soon, the Kongs find themselves traveling up a long hill infested with Frogoons, until they reach a bridge. Many more Frogoons are on the bridge, along with three platforms that are positioned vertically. The Kongs can pound in front of them to make them horizontal so they can reach the items above them; the letter O is above the second platform in the middle of the bridge. After the Kongs cross the bridge and head over a raised object, they make their way through a straight and relatively flat area full of more Frogoons. After going up a hill with two long rows of bananas above it, they pass the Tutorial Pig, who marks the checkpoint.

A few stair-like platforms lead up to the second DK Barrel of the level. A switch is at the top of the level, and following it are some more stair platforms leading downwards. At the bottom of the last stair is a straight area with only some Frogoons on it, along with a cracked piece of land that the Kongs can smash through to reach an alcove in the ground. At the end of this rather flat area, which has some bananas moving in a circle, are some ledges that the Kongs must climb to proceed to a different part of the stage, where there are more Mimics and dandelions, which give an item when blown on. A strange plant is placed just before another bridge that holds the Kongs over the land below. Frogoons, Tiki Goons, and Mimics are on the bridge, along with some vertical platforms that can be made horizontal if the heroes pound in front of them. The bridge is not completely straight; gaps are between some of the bridge parts, with a Frogoon and an alcove, which is covered by a cracked piece of land, with the letter G in it. Ahead of the bridge is a group of bananas that move in a circle and some enemies. At the end of the long, rather empty pathway is a tall structure. If it is pounded into the ground, the mouth of a strange dragon statue located just ahead opens. The primates should journey inside of the statue to access a small room with the Slot Machine Barrel in it.

Sunset Shore 1 At the beginning of the level, the Kongs must go left into a hidden with the Puzzle Piece floating in midair between two Banana Bunches.
Sunset Shore 2 After passing the checkpoint, the Kongs must stand on a switch for a few seconds and wait. By doing so, the sunset shines brightly and the ground beneath them breaks, dropping them down into a hidden area. The Puzzle Piece is floating in center of an arrangement of Bananas and Banana Bunches. After collecting the items, the Kongs can exit back to the main stage by using an Arrow Barrel.

The Kongs must quickly go up the platforms to reach the Puzzle Piece floating above the second, higher platform.
Sunset Shore 5 At the end of the level, the Kongs reach a dragon-like statue, and must jump on it by using a tall platform (later used to open a path to the Slot Machine Barrel). On the platform, the Kongs must continue down a slightly-curved path with a Frogoon and a Tiki Goon. The fifth and final Puzzle Piece appears in an area behind the wall next to the Tiki Goon.
