'''Mainbrace Mayhem''' is the second level of the game ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. It is also located on the [[Gangplank Galleon]].
'''Mainbrace Mayhem''' is the second level of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and the second level of the first world, [[Gangplank Galleon (world)|Gangplank Galleon]]. It is unlocked by clearing [[Pirate Panic (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Pirate Panic]], and is the first level to take place on a ship's mast. [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong]] must climb multiple ship masts and yards in order to progress, using vertical and horizontal [[rope]]s to reach the top of each one. Unlike ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', the Kongs cannot swing from these ropes. Mainbrace Mayhem is the first level that has [[cannon|kannons]] and [[cannonball|kannonballs]], both used together to access a [[Bonus room|Bonus Level]].


This is the first rigging level of the game, and it involves [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong]] climbing on multiple ship masts and yards in order to progress. The Kongs are introduced to two new enemies in this level. These enemies include [[Click-Clack]]s and [[Klinger]]s, whom they constantly meet as they climb up the masts. The enemies that return in this level are [[Neek]]s and [[Klomp]]s. [[Kruncha]]s also appear in this level, exclusively in ''Donkey Kong Land 2''.

The level begins on a yard with a Click-Clack and a few bananas on it. There is a tilted yard just ahead with a pair of Neeks and a [[barrel]] on it. A [[DK Barrel]] shakes in front of a nearby rope that leads up to a higher yard and the [[KONG Letters|letter K]]. A Click-Clack is on this yard, and two more of these blue insects are on the following yard to the left. A crate also sits on the yard. Ropes are above here, and a Klinger slides along them, guarding a [[Banana Coin]]. The ropes can be used to reach a yard with another Click-Clack on it. A set of ropes floats near here with the letter O and another Klinger on it. Two yards are located around these ropes. The one on the left holds two Banana Coins, while the one to the right leads to some ropes. A Click-Clack is on this yard. Once the Kongs climb the ropes, they find themselves on a higher yard with a barrel. The [[Star Barrel]] is also above them here.

Neeks march down a tilted yard just ahead. Ropes are right after the mob of foes, holding a DK Barrel. When the Kongs climb the rope, they can find a yard with two Klomps and a crate on it. They can either travel along this yard or continue along the rope, which leads above the [[Kremling]] enemies. Many bananas are along the long rope. At the end of the rope and the yard, the heroes can find two sets of ropes, both of which that are infested with Klingers. The letter N is next to the second set of ropes, which can be climbed to reach a yard with a Klomp, a DK Barrel, and a kannonball. There is a tilted yard nearby to the west, which has a pair a Click-Clacks marching along it. A flat yard is at the end of this one, which holds a cannon that can shoot the primates to a [[Bonus Level]] if the kannonball found previously is inserted into it. Some ropes with a Klinger on them are above here. The Kongs can climb along the ropes to reach a second set of ropes with two Klingers on them. A yard is hidden to the left of here with a [[Bonus Barrel]] located above it. Soon, the heroes climb farther along the ropes, which lead straight to a yard with the [[End of Level Target]]. The end prizes include a Banana Bunch, Banana Coin, or a red Extra Life Balloon.

===''Donkey Kong Land 2===
The level begins on a yard that is connected to a large mast. Another yard is ahead higher up with a DK Barrel and a Click-Clack on it. After passing a barrel in the same area, the heroes find a third yard just past a small gap. This yard is tilted upwards. A few Neeks march on it. A set of ropes is ahead near a few more years that stick out of the side of the screen. One banana is on each of the two yards. If the Kongs climb up the ropes, they can reach a fourth full yard with more bananas and a Click-Clack on it. There is another yard just ahead, but a Zinger is on the edge of it. The letter K is also above the Zinger. If they dodge the insect, they can continue along the area and pass a Click-Clack. After they reach the end of an additional yard with another Click-Clack on it, they can find more ropes to climb up on. Bananas line the left side of the ropes, which lead to a yard with another Click-Clack on it. A tilted yard is next to this with a few Neeks and a DK Barrel on it. There are two additional yards placed on the other side of this platform. The bottom one leads to the letter O and some ropes that can be climbed to reach the [[DK Coin]]. Klingers climb along these ropes. The top yard can assist the heroes in jumping to a set of ropes that they can climb up to reach a tightrope connected to two masts. Bananas are all along the rope. A yard supporting the Star Barrel sticks out of the end of the screen.


[[File:MainbraceMayhemL265.PNG|left|180px|thumb|Dixie Kong walks towards a Neek.]]
==Enemies==
From here, the Kongs can find a platform connected to a mast to their right. It can help them reach a long, tilted yard with some Neeks and a DK Barrel on it. There are two more yards at the top of this platform. While the yard on the right leads to a rope that can be traveled down to reach a [[Bonus Barrel]], the left yard can help them progress to a larger set of ropes that they can climb upwards on. Click-Clacks and Neeks also walk along the yards. A Klinger attacks the primates as they climb the ropes. At the top of the ropes, they can notice another yard with a Neek on it. If they cross this yard, they can find an additional yard and a tightrope that they can climb along to reach some collectibles and the letter N. A long set of ropes can be found at the other side of the previously mentioned yard. It is infested with Klingers, but also has a few bananas on it. When the ropes are climbed, a yard with a pair of Krunchas and the letter G can be found. There is a platform connected to a wooden mast on the other side of it. If the heroes progress from here, they can reach another yard with a spring on it. They complete the level when they bounce on the spring.
The following enemies appear in the following quantities, and enemies that debut in the level are marked in '''bold''':
<br clear=all>
==Secrets==
===''Donkey Kong Country 2===
====K-O-N-G Letters====
*K: The letter K is on the first rope in the level.
*O: The letter O is on the third set of ropes by a Klinger.
*N: The Kongs can find the letter N next to the set of ropes just before the kannonball.
*G: The letter G is at the bottom of the set of ropes that is located right next to the last Bonus Barrel.
====Bonus Levels====
[[File:Cannonball blast 65.jpg|thumb|180px|The Kongs climb in the second Bonus Level.]]
*The first Bonus Level is near the very beginning of the level. Dixie Kong must be the Kong in the lead and look for a group of [[banana]]s forming the shape of an arrow to the right of the level's start. She must then use her [[Helicopter Twirl]] to hover off of the yard and move through the air in the direction of the arrow, where she should see some ropes to climb on. To the right of the ropes is a Bonus Barrel, which she can go into in order to access a Bonus Level. There, Dixie and Diddy need to climb up a series of ropes until they reach the [[Kremkoin]] and complete the Bonus Level. They have 20 seconds to reach the coin located at the end of the bonus.
*The second Bonus Level can be reached by shooting out of a cannon. Shortly after passing the Star Barrel, the primates must find and pick up a kannonball and carry it across the yard. At the end of the yard, there is a cannon. When they put the ball in the cannon, it glows, meaning that it is loaded. The cannon can shoot them into the Bonus Level if they enter it in this state. In the Bonus Level, they must defeat some Klingers who slide on ropes above them within 35 seconds. The two primates must use the crates and kannonballs around them to defeat all of the enemies. Once they are all defeated, a Kremkoin appears to grab within the remaining time.
*The final Bonus Barrel is on a ship yard far west of the End of Level Target. The Kongs must use their [[Team-up]] move to reach the barrel. The barrel can send them into a Bonus Level, where they must climb up and down some ropes in order to collect 75 stars within the time limit of 35 seconds. Once all of the stars are collected, the Kremkoin appears for them to grab within the remaining time.
====DK Coin====
*This DK Coin is hidden above the level's exit. The Kongs need to use their Team-up move to reach it, as jumping cannot make them go high enough. Additionally, they can get the coin if they travel on the yard that is east of the third Bonus Barrel.
====Warp Barrel====
*At the beginning of the level, Dixie Kong should roll off of the edge of the first yard and then hover to the left under the yard with her Helicopter Twirl to land in a hidden [[Warp Barrel]] that can take her into a Bonus Level. Here, she and Diddy Kong can find a formation of bananas that create an exclamation mark on a yard. If they travel to the right end of the bonus, they can exit the area and reenter the main level near the level's DK Coin, which is positioned above the End of Level Target.
====Golden Feather (Game Boy Advance version only)====
*To find the [[Golden Feather]], the Kongs need to be on the group of ropes where the letter O is found. West of that letter icon, there is a hidden yard. The primates must jump on the yard to find two Banana Coins and a Golden Feather on it.

====K-O-N-G Letters====
Click Clack DKC2.png|'''[[Click-Clack]]''' (8)
*K: The letter K is above the first Zinger in the level, who is on the first full yard.
Klinger DKC2.png|'''[[Klinger]]''' (13){{footnote|main|a}}
*O: The letter O is on the yard located right above the DK Coin.
Klomp DKC2.png|[[Klomp]] (3)
*N: Shortly before the second-to-last yard, which has two Krunchas on it, the heroes can find a tightrope that they can climb across to find a few collectibles floating in the air. If they jump to them, they fall down to a yard with the letter N on it.
Neek DKC2.png|[[Neek]] (10)
*G: The letter G is on the second-to-last yard in the level between two Krunchas.

====Bonus Levels====
 
*Unlike most Bonus Levels, when the Kongs find this Bonus Level, they do not discover a Kremkoin, but instead a shortcut through the level. Therefore, they do not have to find this Bonus Level to complete the game 100%. To find it, Dixie Kong should, after passing the letter K, drop down to the edge of the next yard and then roll off of the right of it. Before falling too far, she must jump in the air and use her Helicopter Twirl move to hover to a set of ropes with a Klinger on them to the left. If she or Diddy Kong jump to the left of a Banana Coin in this area, the primates land in a hidden Warp Barrel that sends them into a Bonus Level, where they can find a group of bananas on a yard, along with a No Animal Sign. If they walk to the right end of the area, they are taken out of the bonus and next to a spring in the main level. The spring sends them out of the level when bounced on.
{{footnote|note|a|Of the thirteen Klingers, 8 are in the main level, and 5 are in the Bonus Level.}}
*Starting from the Star Barrel, the Kongs must climb east up to a nearby yard, which is crooked. As they go up, they need to jump onto the next yard, still going in the same direction. Once they near the end of this yard, they can find a rope under them that they must jump down to. There are some bananas to the left of here, and if they follow the trail, they make their way to a Bonus Barrel, which leads to a Bonus Level where they must move across several ropes and collect 20 stars within the time limit of 20 seconds. When all of the objects are obtained, a Kremkoin appears at the end of the stage to grab within the remaining time.
 
====DK Coin====
==Items and objects==
*Starting from the letter O, the Kongs must jump down from the yard and get on the ropes below. While watching out for Klingers, they should see the [[DK Coin]] to the right. The Kongs must simply jump off the rope to grab it, and then land on the yard below.
The following items and objects appear in the following quantities:

*'''[[Golden feather]]''' (Game Boy Advance version): To find the golden feather, the Kongs must be on a grid-shaped series of ropes with the letter O. They must jump left to land on a hidden yard with two Banana Coins and the golden feather.
 
==Bonus Levels==
[[File:MainbraceMayhemCannonballBlast.png|thumb|The second Bonus Level]]
Mainbrace Mayhem has three Bonus Levels, listed by type:
 
*'''''Find the Token!''''': The first Bonus Level is near the start of the level. From the start, the Kongs must continue forward until they find a group of bananas in the shape of a right arrow. They must travel across the gap below (either from Diddy's [[cartwheel]] or Dixie's Helicopter Spin) to reach a grid-shaped rope. They must then jump into a [[Bonus Barrel]] on the right. The Bonus Level's objective is for Diddy and Dixie to collect the [[Kremkoin]] at the top within 20 seconds. To do so, they must climb up a series of three vertical grid ropes, with individual bananas being placed along the way. After climbing up the third rope, the Kongs can jump to the platform on the right for the Kremkoin.
*'''''Destroy Them All!''''': Past the Star Barrel, after the letter N, the Kongs find a kannonball. They must pick up the object, pass a Klomp and two Click-Clacks along the way, and throw it into the nearby kannon to activate it. By entering it, the Kongs are sent to the second Bonus Level. Here, the Kongs must defeat five Klingers, either by obtaining a [[crate]] from the left or a [[barrel]] from the right. From a yard at the bottom-center, the Kongs can pick up and use a kannonball, which does not break after the first hit. Lastly the Kongs can use team up to attack the Klingers. After every Klinger is defeated, a Kremkoin spawns just above the center of the bottom yard; the Kongs must collect it within the remaining time.
*'''''Collect the Stars!''''': After the kannon, the Kongs must climb up a grid-shaped rope, then move across horizontally, and finally move all the way to the top. They must jump left to land on a yard. From there, they must use team up to enter a Bonus Barrel at the upper-left. Here, the Kongs must collect 75 stars within 35 seconds, by climbing up and around the grids of a single large set of ropes. After collecting every star, the Kremkoin appears above the upper-right yard, and the Kongs must collect it within the remaining time.
 
==Warp Barrel==
At the very start, Dixie must jump off the first yard and then use [[Helicopter Spin]] to continue hovering left and below the yard. Almost midway, Dixie lands into a [[Warp Barrel]]. This leads her and Diddy into a small warp room (which still retains the level's rigging theme) that only consists of a group of [[banana]]s arranged in the shape of an exclamation point.

Mainbrace Mayhem is the second level of Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and the second level of the first world, Gangplank Galleon. It is unlocked by clearing Pirate Panic, and is the first level to take place on a ship's mast. Diddy and Dixie Kong must climb multiple ship masts and yards in order to progress, using vertical and horizontal ropes to reach the top of each one. Unlike Donkey Kong Country, the Kongs cannot swing from these ropes. Mainbrace Mayhem is the first level that has kannons and kannonballs, both used together to access a Bonus Level.

Layout[edit]

Mainbrace Mayhem
Mainbrace Mayhem's appearance in the Game Boy Advance version

The level begins on a yard with a Click-Clack and a few bananas on it. There is a tilted yard just ahead with a pair of Neeks and a barrel on it. A DK Barrel shakes in front of a nearby rope that leads up to a higher yard and the letter K. A Click-Clack is on this yard, and two more of these blue insects are on the following yard to the left. A crate also sits on the yard. Ropes are above here, and a Klinger slides along them, guarding a Banana Coin. The ropes can be used to reach a yard with another Click-Clack on it. A set of ropes floats near here with the letter O and another Klinger on it. Two yards are located around these ropes. The one on the left holds two Banana Coins, while the one to the right leads to some ropes. A Click-Clack is on this yard. Once the Kongs climb the ropes, they find themselves on a higher yard with a barrel. The Star Barrel is also above them here.

Neeks march down a tilted yard just ahead. Ropes are right after the mob of foes, holding a DK Barrel. When the Kongs climb the rope, they can find a yard with two Klomps and a crate on it. They can either travel along this yard or continue along the rope, which leads above the Kremling enemies. Many bananas are along the long rope. At the end of the rope and the yard, the heroes can find two sets of ropes, both of which that are infested with Klingers. The letter N is next to the second set of ropes, which can be climbed to reach a yard with a Klomp, a DK Barrel, and a kannonball. There is a tilted yard nearby to the west, which has a pair a Click-Clacks marching along it. A flat yard is at the end of this one, which holds a cannon that can shoot the primates to a Bonus Level if the kannonball found previously is inserted into it. Some ropes with a Klinger on them are above here. The Kongs can climb along the ropes to reach a second set of ropes with two Klingers on them. A yard is hidden to the left of here with a Bonus Barrel located above it. Soon, the heroes climb farther along the ropes, which lead straight to a yard with the End of Level Target. The end prizes include a Banana Bunch, Banana Coin, or a red Extra Life Balloon.

Enemies[edit]

The following enemies appear in the following quantities, and enemies that debut in the level are marked in bold:

a - Of the thirteen Klingers, 8 are in the main level, and 5 are in the Bonus Level.

Items and objects[edit]

The following items and objects appear in the following quantities:

b - One of the kannonballs is in a Bonus Level.

KONG Letters[edit]

  • K: At the top-right of the first rope, hovering between a square.
  • O: Located on the third set of ropes, to the left of a Klinger.
  • N: After the Star Barrel, the Kongs must climb a few more sets of ropes. The letter N is next to the second Klinger, on the right.
  • G: After the kannon, the Kongs must climb up a rope, go horizontal, and then straight down to find the letter G hanging at the bottom of a rope.

Key items[edit]

  • Cranky's Video Game Hero Coin: From the yard below the third Bonus Barrel, the Kongs must use team up to reach an uppermost yard. They can also land on it by exiting the third Bonus Level. From the level's uppermost yard, the Kongs must continue forward and jump to another yard to the right and collect its Video Game Hero Coin.
  • Golden feather (Game Boy Advance version): To find the golden feather, the Kongs must be on a grid-shaped series of ropes with the letter O. They must jump left to land on a hidden yard with two Banana Coins and the golden feather.

Bonus Levels[edit]

A bonus area in Mainbrace Mayhem
The second Bonus Level

Mainbrace Mayhem has three Bonus Levels, listed by type:

  • Find the Token!: The first Bonus Level is near the start of the level. From the start, the Kongs must continue forward until they find a group of bananas in the shape of a right arrow. They must travel across the gap below (either from Diddy's cartwheel or Dixie's Helicopter Spin) to reach a grid-shaped rope. They must then jump into a Bonus Barrel on the right. The Bonus Level's objective is for Diddy and Dixie to collect the Kremkoin at the top within 20 seconds. To do so, they must climb up a series of three vertical grid ropes, with individual bananas being placed along the way. After climbing up the third rope, the Kongs can jump to the platform on the right for the Kremkoin.
  • Destroy Them All!: Past the Star Barrel, after the letter N, the Kongs find a kannonball. They must pick up the object, pass a Klomp and two Click-Clacks along the way, and throw it into the nearby kannon to activate it. By entering it, the Kongs are sent to the second Bonus Level. Here, the Kongs must defeat five Klingers, either by obtaining a crate from the left or a barrel from the right. From a yard at the bottom-center, the Kongs can pick up and use a kannonball, which does not break after the first hit. Lastly the Kongs can use team up to attack the Klingers. After every Klinger is defeated, a Kremkoin spawns just above the center of the bottom yard; the Kongs must collect it within the remaining time.
  • Collect the Stars!: After the kannon, the Kongs must climb up a grid-shaped rope, then move across horizontally, and finally move all the way to the top. They must jump left to land on a yard. From there, they must use team up to enter a Bonus Barrel at the upper-left. Here, the Kongs must collect 75 stars within 35 seconds, by climbing up and around the grids of a single large set of ropes. After collecting every star, the Kremkoin appears above the upper-right yard, and the Kongs must collect it within the remaining time.

Warp Barrel[edit]

At the very start, Dixie must jump off the first yard and then use Helicopter Spin to continue hovering left and below the yard. Almost midway, Dixie lands into a Warp Barrel. This leads her and Diddy into a small warp room (which still retains the level's rigging theme) that only consists of a group of bananas arranged in the shape of an exclamation point.
