'''Crowded Cavern''' is the twenty-seventh level in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]'' | '''Crowded Cavern''' is the twenty-seventh level in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]'' and the fifth and final level of the [[Cave]] world. | ||
==Summary== | |||
Similar to [[Mole Patrol]], Crowded Cavern takes place in a cavern where [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] ride a [[Rocket Barrel]] throughout the level, having to move between large rocks and boulders. The main and only enemies in the level are a large group of [[Squeekly]]s, who attempt to fly into the [[Kong]]s. The group includes small Squeeklys that fly at the Kongs, medium-sized Squeeklys that move up or down when approached, and a [[Big Squeekly]] that blasts large sound waves from its mouth. The Kongs cannot defeat the Squeeklys while riding the Rocket Barrel and must avoid every one instead. There are seven [[Banana Coin]]s in the level. | |||
In the [[Donkey Kong Country Returns#Time Attack|Time Attack]] mode, a time below 1:56:00 is needed to get a gold medal, a time below 2:05:00 for silver, and a time below 2:16:00 for bronze. | |||

[[File:Crowded Cavern Squeeklies.jpg|thumb|left|250px|The Kongs dodging several Squeeklys]] | |||
The level begins on a flat pathway leading to some wooden platforms that the Kongs must use to climb up to a higher area. Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong must walk on a rickety, wooden bridge which breaks shortly after they go on it. When it crumbles, the Kongs (as well as an unused minecart and numerous bananas) fall down to a lower area. They must continue right and jump from a few platforms, where Squeeklys are sleeping in the background. The Kongs then come across a Rocket Barrel, and when the Kongs start it, they wake the Squeeklys, who start to chase the Kongs through a wide passage in the cave. Some small Squeeklies attempt to attack Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong by flying horizontally in front of the Rocket Barrel and then attempting to chomp into the Kongs. This continues until the Kongs reach a narrow area with a trail of [[banana]]s and Banana Bunches. The trail curves in a V shape above a tall rock structure and ends with the letter K of the [[KONG Letters|K-O-N-G Letters]]. At that point, the primates ride over some more boulders as a [[Big Squeekly]] begins to chase them. The creature heads into the background as they head past a large waterfall and peeks through a hole in the wall as the Kongs approach the letter O. Many bananas and Banana Bunches are in front of the waterfall. At the end of the group of bananas on the bottom row is the letter O, and a [[Banana Coin]] is also located just before that above a rock. Soon after this is the [[Professor Chops|Tutorial Pig]], who waits on a large platform at the checkpoint. | |||
In the area farther ahead, medium-sized, chubby Squeeklys attack the Kongs by trying to fly in front of them while moving up or down vertically. At the same time, smaller Squeeklys return to try and swoop into the Kongs. Eventually, the Big Squeekly will burst through the floor. Just next to it is a puzzle piece. Immediately after, another Big Squeekly will burst through the ceiling. Next to it is the letter N. There are some rock obstacles farther ahead. The Big Squeekly starts to chase the Kongs, and just before it can reach them, the Kongs fly through a narrow passage, and the Big Squeekly is knocked back. In the passage, the Kongs can find many Banana Bunches and a few obstacles in their path. The Kongs can a large group of collectibles on the other side of the passage. The Tutorial Pig and the next checkpoint are just ahead. | |||

After the checkpoint, the primates enter a slightly narrower area, where there is a crane sticking out of the background, acting as an obstacle. The Kongs can either fly above it or below it. Shortly after this section, the Big Squeekly continues to chase after them. The giant bat then starts shooting powerful sonic waves from its mouth. In their pursuit, Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong come up to some collectibles and the letter G. Eventually, the Big Squeekly shoots a more powerful sonic wave across the screen, destroying a large boulder and revealing a large group of crystals in its place. The Kongs must fly over the crystals, which the Big Squeekly crashes into, causing it to scrape against the floor and land on its head. The Rocket Barrel eventually drops off the Kongs at the end with the [[Slot Machine Barrel]]. | |||

Crowded Cavern is the twenty-seventh level in Donkey Kong Country Returns and Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D and the fifth and final level of the Cave world.
Summary[edit]
Similar to Mole Patrol, Crowded Cavern takes place in a cavern where Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong ride a Rocket Barrel throughout the level, having to move between large rocks and boulders. The main and only enemies in the level are a large group of Squeeklys, who attempt to fly into the Kongs. The group includes small Squeeklys that fly at the Kongs, medium-sized Squeeklys that move up or down when approached, and a Big Squeekly that blasts large sound waves from its mouth. The Kongs cannot defeat the Squeeklys while riding the Rocket Barrel and must avoid every one instead. There are seven Banana Coins in the level.
In the Time Attack mode, a time below 1:56:00 is needed to get a gold medal, a time below 2:05:00 for silver, and a time below 2:16:00 for bronze.
