The level starts out in a place where there seems to be no signs of lava. [[Donkey Kong]] will find a [[DK Barrel]] in front of the huge wooden door, which can be broken after he pounds the switch three times. By doing so, DK and his partners can reveal the hidden place that seems to be the frozen volcano. Here, lava pillars are littered around this stage, acting as a hazard. They often lift the rock platforms, which enables Kongs to reach the higher areas. If DK breaks the ice block that lies above the rock platform, the lava pillar will lift the platform, which will guide the Kongs into the upper platform where a [[Rambi]] box can be found. DK can use the snowball stuck on the icy pillar to cool lava, which will act as a rock platform that quickly resolve into the lava. Icy platforms, just like most levels in [[Volcano]] level in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'', often fall and sink into the lava. At the end of the level lies a huge lava wave that chases Kongs in a fast speed. Along the way lies a barrel which will lead to the goal barrel.
[[Lava Geyser]]s are littered around the stage and they often lift rock platforms which allows the Kongs to reach higher areas. One such area has an ice block above one of the platforms that can be used to reach a [[Rambi]] [[animal crate|Crate]]. Snowballs on icy pillars can be used to cool lava temporarily, allowing the Kongs to cross; icy platforms also appear, and often fall and sink into the lava. Near the end of the level, the Kongs must outrun a huge lava wave and reach a barrel that leads to the goal barrel.

Meltdown Mayhem is the penultimate level of Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze and its Nintendo Switch port, located in Donkey Kong Island. Corresponding to the Volcano area from Donkey Kong Country Returns, it takes place inside the island's volcano. Along with Spinning Spines, this is one of two levels that feature lava as a main hazard.

Coincidentally, the name "Meltdown Mayhem" is first mentioned in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest as a wrong answer to one of Swanky Kong's questions.

In Time Attack mode, a time of 2:15.00 is required to get a gold medal, a time of 2:21.00 for silver, and a time of 2:26.00 for bronze.

Overview[edit]

The level starts out in front of a huge wooden door with a nearby DK Barrel; pounding the nearby switch three times reveals an opening to the inside of the frozen volcano. Throughout the level, ominous laughter from Lord Fredrik can be heard (though the voice used is that of Tiki Tong from Donkey Kong Country Returns).

Lava Geysers are littered around the stage and they often lift rock platforms which allows the Kongs to reach higher areas. One such area has an ice block above one of the platforms that can be used to reach a Rambi Crate. Snowballs on icy pillars can be used to cool lava temporarily, allowing the Kongs to cross; icy platforms also appear, and often fall and sink into the lava. Near the end of the level, the Kongs must outrun a huge lava wave and reach a barrel that leads to the goal barrel.
