'''Fiery Furnace''' is the fourth level of the [[Lost World]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', as well as the third level of that world in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. It can be accessed via [[Klubba's Kiosk]] in [[Gloomy Gulch]] in ''Donkey Kong Country 2'', or in the overworld for ''Donkey Kong Land 2''.
'''Fiery Furnace''' is the fourth level of the [[Lost World (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Lost World]]. It can be accessed from the [[Klubba's Kiosk]] in [[Gloomy Gulch]]. Fiery Furnace is the third and last volcanic level, and the only one not in [[Crocodile Cauldron]]. Fiery Furnace is the only level that has [[Steerable Barrel]]s, which Diddy and Dixie can enter and freely move around inside for only a few seconds to move across the long pits of [[lava]]. [[Zinger]]s are the main enemy of the level, and there are numerous of them to avoid.


This level is set in a volcano, and the Kongs must use special [[Steerable Barrels]] unique to the level in order to cross the lava. Since the Steerable Barrels are timed, and because [[Zinger]]s are in the Kongs' path, it will take a lot of determination to get through this level. The barrels are scattered throughout the level, and the Kongs will have to maneuver around the area with them, without hitting enemies. Other than Zingers, the enemies here include [[Kutlass]], [[Klampon]]s, [[Krook]]s, [[Spiny (Donkey Kong)|Spinys]], [[Flitter]]s and [[Cat-O-9-Tails]].  
==Layout==
[[File:Fiery Furnace GBA pit.png|thumb|left|Fiery Furnace in the Game Boy Advance version]]
At the start of the level, the Kongs must journey east and defeat some Spinies. Soon, they will come up to the first Steerable Barrel, which should be used to float over a dangerous Kutlass. After that, the heroes will have to climb up a few ledges and dodge several Klampons, until they get to the first large abyss of the level. The Steerable Barrels above it must be used to cross, although the monkeys must be careful, as there is a time limit on them. Once on the other side, they will need to watch out for a few enemies and get into another Steerable Barrel. While watching the time limit, they must maneuver around many Zingers and soon get to the other side. Here, they will have to avoid some more foes, including more Spinies. Eventually, they will bounce off of a Flitter and continue to travel through the barrels. As they shoot to each Steerable Barrel, the monkeys will need to be aided by some Flitters, so they can bounce off of them and get to another barrel. The Kongs are then blasted onto a group of three Flitters, which are positioned diagonally, and they must bounce off them to land into the [[Star Barrel]] and fall on the platform below.


In ''Donkey Kong Land 2'', Steerable Barrels are not present, and are instead replaced with normal [[Blast Barrel]]s. Several [[Hot Air Balloon]]s, exactly like the one from [[Hothead Hop]], can also be seen here, and are used much of the second half of the level. The enemies in this game's version also do not include Cat-0-9-Tails, unlike in ''Diddy's Kong Quest'', and feature [[Klobber]]s and [[Kaboing]]s instead. Luckily, [[Squitter the Spider]] appears in the level to help out.
Halfway through the level, the heroes will need to dodge or beat a Kutlass and a Krook. Then they must hop aboard another Steerable Barrel and journey across a wide gap. If they can dodge the many Zingers scattered around, they will make it back to land again, and shortly plop right back into another barrel. After they blast their way to the other end of the gap with the many Steerable Barrels, they will have to avoid a few more enemies, including the pesky Cat O' 9 Tails. After passing these foes, the group must get in another barrel and steer their way to the next barrel. Although there is more time than usual on the barrel's limit, the other barrel is a longer distance away, so the monkey must move fast. When they get to land again, they must make a well-timed jump and defeat more Cat O' 9 Tails in their path. From there, they will have to get into more Steerable Barrels and float above a dangerous abyss. This time, many Zingers are moving about to attack the Kongs, but they can be avoided with some good skills. Once on the other side, the Kongs must beat more Cat O' 9 Tails and cross two small abysses, until they finally find the [[End of Level Target]]. If they land on it from the Barrel Cannon above (which can only be entered after exiting the Bonus Level), Diddy and Dixie can win either a [[Banana Bunch]], a [[Banana Coin]], or a [[Green Balloon]].

When they begin the level, the Kongs must travel down the path and dodge some enemies, such as Klampons and Klobbers. Soon, they will get to a large abyss, which must be crossed by using a few barrels and a good aim. When they get to the other side, they will have to continue along the rather flat land and watch out for more foes. Shortly after arriving back on land, they must get over another abyss via barrels. With the guidance of banana trails, the monkeys should aim and shoot themselves to the next area. Here, they will need to dodge only a few Spinies, and then hop onto a Hot Air Balloon. It will lead them across another abyss, although their weight is too much for the balloon, and it will sink into the fire if they aren't fast enough. After gliding through the air on the balloon and watching out for Zingers, they must jump into some barrels and blast to another Hot Air Balloon above them. They must use it to float over the rest of the large gap. Back on land, the group will have to jump up a few ledges and soon find the Star Barrel.

*'''O:''' Found to the right of the second DK Barrel.
*'''N:''' Obtained by properly timing a Steerable barrel's launch in between two Zingers.
*'''G:''' Above a Cat O' 9 Tails


From there, the monkeys will need to continue down the path and turn into [[Squitter the Spider]] with an [[Animal Barrel]]. Squitter must build his trademark webs and form platforms with them. He should use the platforms he created to travel over another abyss. Soon, the spider will need to follow a banana trail back to solid ground and defeat the enemies in his path. Eventually, he will get to another gap, which, again, must be crossed using his web platforms. As he builds his way across, there are many Zingers trying to get in the way, so he needs to be careful. Once on the other side, the [[Animal Buddy]] will pass a [[No Animal Sign]] and turn back into the Kongs. The no longer transformed monkeys should then hop atop a Hot Air Balloon and begin to ride it. After a while, they will meet a Zinger in the way. From here, they must jump into the air and land on another balloon. Shortly after that, they will have to bounce off of a couple Flitters to reach yet another Hot Air Balloon. It will, as usual, take them to another balloon, followed by yet another balloon, until they finally reach land again. The group must dodge a few Klobbers here, and then hop into a barrel. With their skills, they will need to aim carefully and shoot to the other end of the wide abyss. Once they finally get to the other side, they will find a spring down the path. When they jump on it, it will bounce them out of the level.

*'''Find the Token!''': Shortly before the end of the level, the Kongs must jump onto a platform with a Cat O' 9 Tails, followed by another. There are a few [[banana]]s floating in a straight line above the platform, below another Steerable Barrel. The Kongs can enter it by either performing a [[team up]] throw or by having Cat O' 9 Tails throw them up into it. The Steerable Barrel is set to three seconds, and the Kongs must continue right and follow the trail of bananas, which then lead up into the [[Bonus Barrel]]. In the Bonus Level, Diddy and Dixie have to steer inside of a Steerable Barrel, which does not have a countdown timer, and go through a narrow path between two long [[bramble]]s. Throughout the path are Zingers which continuously fly back and forth. When they reach the top, the Kongs can move above the final Zinger then around the bramble and land into the [[DK Coin|Video Game Hero Coin]], positioned in the center of the wooden bridge platform. Upon exiting the Bonus Level, the Kongs land into a Barrel Cannon directly above the End of Level Target.
===Donkey Kong Country 2===
====Bonus Level(s)====
 
Near the end of the level, the Kongs will notice a trail of bananas above a Cat-0-9-Tails leading up to a Steerable Barrel. They must use their [[Team Up]] move to throw a monkey into the barrel and pilot over the trail. Soon, they will reach the [[Bonus Barrel]]. In it's [[Bonus Level]], the heroes must maneuver through a [[bramble]] area inside the Steerable Barrel. The track is thin, and they may not hit the spikes on the side, as well as the Zingers. If they do hit them, they'll be taken out off the bonus. Once at the end of the stage, they must shoot out of the barrel and grab the [[DK Coin]].
 
====Golden Feather (GBA Only)====
 
While crossing the abyss where the letter O is found, they Kongs should come across the [[Golden Feather]]. It is between two Zingers, though, so they must use more of their skills to get it.
 
===Donkey Kong Land 2===
====Bonus Level(s)====
 
Once shooting out of the level's final barrel, the heroes should travel to the left and jump over a Zinger. If they continue to the left, though, they will find the Bonus Barrel, leading to the Bonus Level. Here, they must hit a couple of [[Krochead Barrel]]s. [[Krochead]]s will suddenly emerge from the fire, and the monkeys can use them as stepping stones. When they get to the end of the stage, they will find the DK Coin.
