'''Poisonous Pipeline''' is the thirty-fifth [[level]] in the [[Donkey Kong (franchise)|''Donkey Kong'' franchise]] game, ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' It is also the fifth area of [[KAOS Kore]]. In the game's [[Game Boy Advance]] remake, it is the forty-first level instead.
'''Poisonous Pipeline''' is the thirty-fifth [[level]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'', the fifth level of [[Kaos Kore]], and the final level of the game, not including those from [[Krematoa]]. In the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake, it is the forty-first level instead, due to the introduction of [[Pacifica]] and its six levels. Poisonous Pipeline takes place in a long, flooded pipeline, and for almost the entire level, [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong|Kiddy]] must swim through poisonous, purple liquid. The liquid does not harm the [[Kong]]s although it reverses the left and right buttons on the player's directional input. For the first half, the Kongs must swim to the bottom. During the second half, they must swim back up to the top to reach the [[Level Flag]] on the other side. For most of the first half, the Kongs can enter an [[Animal Barrel]] to transform into [[Enguarde]] up until the [[No Animal Sign]], which is shortly after the [[Star Barrel]].
 
This level takes place in a mostly-flooded pipeline. The pipeline is filled with a poisonous, purple liquid that reverses the player's left and right movements. However, up and down movements are unaltered. Of these enemies include the underwater foes, [[Lurchin]]s and [[Koco]]s, as well as a single [[Krimp]] found in a dry area of the stage. [[Enguarde the Swordfish]] can be found in a [[Bonus Stage]] and help the Kongs for a portion of the level.

At the beginning of the level, the Kongs swim through a long pipeline. They  pass many Lurchins and Kocos. At the end of the long pathway, the Kongs head through a smaller area downwards and swim left. They will meet more enemies here, especially the shell-covered Lurchins. Soon, they take a small pathway down to a lower part of the level. There, they will travel east and head down the first opening they see. Continuing downwards, they find the letter O and move to the right to find an upward pathway. Swimming around a few Lurchins, they make it to a slightly higher area, where they pass a large group of Lurchins and move downwards. They head through a thin pipe, where they find the [[Star Barrel]].

About halfway through the level, the Kongs enter another long area, where they swim down a large pipeline and avoid countless schools of enemies. Soon, they find two Lurchins moving through a small pathway. Going under the enemies, they make their way into another area. There, they pass several Kocos and also find the letter K in an above alcove. Farther on, the Kongs pass many more Lurchins, assisted by the small Kocos. Once they begin to take an upward pathway at the end of the area, they will dodge some Kocos and travel west. Shortly after going this direction, they will come up to another pathway, which they should head up. They move around a few Lurchins as they make their way into the next part of the level, where they travel east past more enemies. Heading up again, they sneak between two Lurchins to see yet another upwards pathway. If they continue up from this area, they will eventually reach the surface of the poisonous water. On the nearby platform, they will also see a flagpole. If they pull on the end of the flagpole, the level will end.

#After the heroes find the letter G, the Kongs should jump to the surface of the liquid and land on a platform with a [[Koin]], who will have the [[DK Coin]]. They will have to defeat him to get it. The enemy's shield will protect him from most attacks, so the heroes will have no choice but to use the nearby [[Steel Barrel|steel barrel]]. With the barrel, they should stand on the foe's shield and throw it against the wall to the right. The barrel will bounce off of the wall and hit the side of the Koin, defeating him.

Poisonous Pipeline takes place in a long, flooded pipeline, and for almost the entire level, Dixie and Kiddy must swim through poisonous, purple liquid. The liquid does not harm the Kongs although it reverses the left and right buttons on the player's directional input. For the first half, the Kongs must swim to the bottom. During the second half, they must swim back up to the top to reach the Level Flag on the other side.

Enguarde swims between four Lurchins in Poisonous Pipeline in the Game Boy Advance remake
Poisonous Pipeline in the Game Boy Advance version

At the beginning of the level, the Kongs swim through a long pipeline, passing many Lurchins and Kocos. At the end of the long pathway, the Kongs head through a smaller area downwards and swim left. They will meet more enemies here, especially the shell-covered Lurchins. Soon, they take a small pathway down to a lower part of the level. There, they will travel east and head down the first opening they see. Continuing downwards, they find the letter O and move to the right to find an upward pathway. Swimming around a few Lurchins, they make it to a slightly higher area, where they pass a large group of Lurchins and move downwards. They head through a thin pipe, where they find the Star Barrel.

About halfway through the level, the Kongs enter another long area, where they swim down a large pipeline and avoid countless schools of enemies. Soon, they find two Lurchins moving through a small pathway. Going under the enemies, they make their way into another area. There, they pass several Kocos and also find the letter K in an above alcove. Farther on, the Kongs pass many more Lurchins, assisted by the small Kocos. Once they begin to take an upward pathway at the end of the area, they will dodge some Kocos and travel west. Shortly after going this direction, they will come up to another pathway, which they should head up. They move around a few Lurchins as they make their way into the next part of the level, where they travel east past more enemies. Heading up again, they sneak between two Lurchins to see yet another upwards pathway. If they continue up from this area, they will eventually reach the surface of the poisonous water. On the nearby platform, they will also see a flagpole. If they pull on the end of the flagpole, the level will end.
