'''Arctic Barrel Arsenal''' is the ninth level in the [[Game Boy]] ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]''. It is also the ninth and final area in [[Gangplank Galleon Ahoy!]], the game's first world.
'''Arctic Barrel Arsenal'''<ref>{{cite|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|date=1995|title=''Donkey Kong Land'' instruction booklet|page=16}}</ref> is the ninth level of ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'' and of [[Gangplank Galleon Ahoy!]] Arctic Barrel Arsenal is a snow level that features numerous [[Barrel Cannon]]s, which are used to blast across several wide [[pit]]s. Many Barrel Cannons require timed launches from [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]], contributed further to the fact that they are surrounded by [[Zinger]]s. There are sections requiring the [[Kong]]s to move across the icy, slippery ground.


In this snow level, the Kongs will find many, many [[Blast Barrel]]s. These barrels are found throughout the whole entire level and must be used to cross several wide pits. The Kongs should be careful, though, as they will have to keep careful aim, as one wrong move can send them plummeting into a pit. To make the stage even harder, the heroes will have to face several enemies throughout their journey. These enemies include [[Zinger]]s, [[Gnawty|Gnawties]], [[Kritter]]s, and [[Klaptrap]]s.

===Normal exit===
From the start of the level, the Kongs must walk into a barrel and shoot to a [[DK Barrel]], then travel east. As they walk down this path, they will have to defeat a few Kritters and come up to another barrel. This one will shoot them across an abyss. On the other side, the heroes must drop down a few small ledges to reach another barrel. When they get in this barrel, it will move to the right, where the Kongs must shoot to another barrel. They must continue to shoot to more barrels until they make it to the other end of the wide pit below them. Once they area across this pit, they must make their way to the next barrel and shoot to more barrels to, again, cross a wide gap. On the other side of this gap, the heroes will have to defeat a few enemies, such as Kritters, and find another barrel. This one will shoot them up to the level's [[Continue Point]].


==Level Layout==
At this point, the group should jump into a nearby barrel and shoot across another wide abyss with the help of several other barrels. On the last barrel, they must shoot diagonally back to solid ground and walk down a short pathway to find another barrel. Once in this, they will have to blast through several more barrels to cross yet another abyss. This time, they will encounter a few Zingers and soon end up in a spinning barrel. With good aim, they should shoot from this barrel and follow the banana trail to a platform with a tire. They must bounce off of the tire to get over a lone Zinger and slide down a small slope to make it in the next barrel. Again, they will need to shoot barrel-to-barrel, getting over a wide gap, as well as trying not to hit any enemies. When they are passed this gap, the heroes must jump over a very small pit and walk to the right to soon find an [[end of stage]], and entering it unlocks the boss level, [[Wild Sting Fling]].

Arctic Barrel Arsenal[1] is the ninth level of Donkey Kong Land and of Gangplank Galleon Ahoy! Arctic Barrel Arsenal is a snow level that features numerous Barrel Cannons, which are used to blast across several wide pits. Many Barrel Cannons require timed launches from Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong, contributed further to the fact that they are surrounded by Zingers. There are sections requiring the Kongs to move across the icy, slippery ground.

Layout[edit]

Normal exit[edit]

From the start of the level, the Kongs must walk into a barrel and shoot to a DK Barrel, then travel east. As they walk down this path, they will have to defeat a few Kritters and come up to another barrel. This one will shoot them across an abyss. On the other side, the heroes must drop down a few small ledges to reach another barrel. When they get in this barrel, it will move to the right, where the Kongs must shoot to another barrel. They must continue to shoot to more barrels until they make it to the other end of the wide pit below them. Once they area across this pit, they must make their way to the next barrel and shoot to more barrels to, again, cross a wide gap. On the other side of this gap, the heroes will have to defeat a few enemies, such as Kritters, and find another barrel. This one will shoot them up to the level's Continue Point.

At this point, the group should jump into a nearby barrel and shoot across another wide abyss with the help of several other barrels. On the last barrel, they must shoot diagonally back to solid ground and walk down a short pathway to find another barrel. Once in this, they will have to blast through several more barrels to cross yet another abyss. This time, they will encounter a few Zingers and soon end up in a spinning barrel. With good aim, they should shoot from this barrel and follow the banana trail to a platform with a tire. They must bounce off of the tire to get over a lone Zinger and slide down a small slope to make it in the next barrel. Again, they will need to shoot barrel-to-barrel, getting over a wide gap, as well as trying not to hit any enemies. When they are passed this gap, the heroes must jump over a very small pit and walk to the right to soon find an end of stage, and entering it unlocks the boss level, Wild Sting Fling.

Secret exit[edit]

When the Kongs begin the level, they should jump over the first Barrel Cannon and travel down the path to the next Barrel Cannon. Instead of entering it, the Kongs must jump over it and move slightly to the left in mid-air. If done correctly, they will land in a portal, which will take them to the next level much faster than the other portal.

Bonus Areas[edit]
