'''Stormy Seas''' is the thirty-second [[level]] in the [[Game Boy Advance]] version of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble]]''. It is also the second area of [[Pacifica]].
'''Stormy Seas''' is the thirty-second [[level]] in the [[Game Boy Advance]] version of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Donkey Kong Country 3]]'' and the second level of [[Pacifica]]. It takes place at a lakeside, on a series of boardwalks. Storm clouds and strong waves are shown in the background. [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong|Kiddy]] encounter [[Re-Koil]], [[Kracka]]s, and [[Sneek]]s on the boardwalks. The [[Kong]]s must also climb across [[rope]]s and swim in the dark lake below. [[Klasp]]s and [[Buzz (enemy)|Buzz]]es are enemies that appear around the ropes, usually guarding items such as [[bear coin]]s. The Kongs can finish the level without using any of the ropes except for one directly before the level exit. Halfway through the level, under the [[Star Barrel]], the Kongs can ride [[Enguarde]] after breaking his [[animal crate]]. Enguarde can help by defeating [[Koco]]s and obtain [[KONG Letters|the letter N]] by defeating a [[Bounty Bass]] along the way.

[[File:Stormy Seas DKC3 GBA Kracka.png|thumb|left|240px|The Kongs run from a Kracka]]
At the beginning of the level, the heroes travel under some roofs, supported by strong stilts, and walk down a few slanted pathways to find a small gap of water. They must cross it and head through another tunnel, entering the water afterwards. In the ocean, they find the letter K, and then get back onto the wharf to meet a Kracka. Moving on, the apes trudge along some more straight or slanted boardwalks to find the letter O on top of a tunnel. After that, the monkeys drop down from a ledge, finding two more Krackas. They need to dodge both and continue forward to pass three Sneeks, as well as find the [[Star Barrel]].


This level is set on a series of boardwalks and takes place in the middle of a storm, complete with many waves in the water. However, this does not have any affect on actual gameplay. [[TNT Knocka]]s, enemies never found in the original ''Donkey Kong Country 3'', make their first and only appearance in this level. [[Enguarde the Swordfish]] can also be found underneath the [[Star Barrel]] in this level to help the [[Kong]]s tread through the dark-blue water. Other enemies that can be found here include [[Sneek]]s, [[Re-Koil]]s, [[Lurchin]]s, traditional [[Knocka]]s, [[Koco]]s, [[Bounty Bass]]es, [[Klasp]]s, [[Buzz (species)|Buzzes]], and [[Bazza]]s. A [[Nibbla]] makes an appearance in a [[Bonus Level]] as well.  
About halfway into the level, the heroes walk across more of the wharf to find some tightropes. Climbing across to avoid the stormy, enemy-filled ocean, they dodge the land foes, Buzzes and Klasps. Once they get back on the boardwalks, the apes make their way under a tunnel to find another set of horizontal tightropes. Again, they should be used to cross the wavy ocean below. While climbing across the ropes, the monkeys jump between two green Buzzes, whom they must make sure to avoid. Hopping off of the tightropes, the monkeys head under yet another small tunnel and meet the border between the wharf and the water. They must swim through the liquid and pass the [[No Animal Sign]], which makes Enguarde disappear if he was used. Leaping up some ledges on the wharf, [[Dixie Kong]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] will find two [[Banana Bunch]]es under a tunnel surrounded by Krackas, and then head across a straight set of boardwalks to spot some more tightropes. As usual, they must be used to cross the dangerous waters below. After dodging all the Buzzes around the tightropes, the Kongs head along another set of boardwalks until they find some small tightropes, supported by stilts that progressively become higher. Hopping rope-to-rope over the ocean, they soon end up in a high area of the wharf and avoid several enemies. After traveling over some boardwalks and passing through a small tunnel, the monkeys find a flagpole. Raising its flag ends the level.

On the last boardwalk, the Kongs must pass [[Koin]] and go to the Level Flag; the [[Iron Barrel|Steel Barrel]] is on a roof to the right. Kiddy must use [[team up]] to throw Dixie onto the roof. They must pick up the Steel Barrel and go back to Koin. The Kongs must throw the Steel Barrel at a wall behind Koin, which defeats him and gives the [[DK Coin]] to the Kongs.
*After passing the letter O, the Kongs should inspect the wharf. Near a ledge, they will find a small crack. Once this is spotted, Dixie should throw Kiddy onto the crack and break the wood, creating a small opening. If the heroes fall into the hole, they will find a [[Bonus Barrel]], which will lead them into a [[Bonus Level]]. There, the monkeys will move along a tightrope, collecting green bananas and avoiding a Nibbla in the water. As they grab the bananas, they will also have to watch out for a fast-traveling Klasp. After enough green bananas are collected, a [[Bonus Coin]] will appear at the end of the stage.
 
*At the end of the level, the heroes should jump off of the wharf and swim to the bottom of the area. Entering a narrow passageway, they will make their way into a Bonus Barrel. It will take them to a Bonus Level, where they will have to climb on some Klasp-infested tightropes to jump over a wall of three green Buzzes. Once they reach the end of the stage, they will win a Bonus Coin.

In the [[Bonus Level]], the Kongs have 60 seconds to collect 20 [[green banana]]s over a horizontal rope while avoiding a fast-moving Klasp along the rope and a Nibbla in the lake below. After the Kongs collect every green banana, the [[Bonus Coin (Donkey Kong franchise)|Bonus Coin]] appears on a boardwalk to the right.
*'''''Find the Coin!''''': Near the end of the level, the Kongs must jump off a wharf, left of three tightropes, and swim in the lake below. They must carefully swim forward and avoid the Bazzas below them. The second Bonus Barrel is in a narrow passage under the boardwalk with Koin. In the Bonus Level, the Kongs have 10 seconds to get the Bonus Coin to the right. They must move past a Klasp on the first rope and then jump over three stacked Buzzes, who are located between the two horizontal ropes. The Kongs can walk under the second rope, which another Klasp is climbing across, to reach the Bonus Coin at the end.

With the barrel, the should stand on the Koin's shield and throw it at the nearest wall. The barrel will bounce off of the wall and soon hit the distracted enemy in the side. This will defeat him, thus giving the monkeys his DK Coin.

The Kongs run from a Kracka

At the beginning of the level, the heroes travel under some roofs, supported by strong stilts, and walk down a few slanted pathways to find a small gap of water. They must cross it and head through another tunnel, entering the water afterwards. In the ocean, they find the letter K, and then get back onto the wharf to meet a Kracka. Moving on, the apes trudge along some more straight or slanted boardwalks to find the letter O on top of a tunnel. After that, the monkeys drop down from a ledge, finding two more Krackas. They need to dodge both and continue forward to pass three Sneeks, as well as find the Star Barrel.

About halfway into the level, the heroes walk across more of the wharf to find some tightropes. Climbing across to avoid the stormy, enemy-filled ocean, they dodge the land foes, Buzzes and Klasps. Once they get back on the boardwalks, the apes make their way under a tunnel to find another set of horizontal tightropes. Again, they should be used to cross the wavy ocean below. While climbing across the ropes, the monkeys jump between two green Buzzes, whom they must make sure to avoid. Hopping off of the tightropes, the monkeys head under yet another small tunnel and meet the border between the wharf and the water. They must swim through the liquid and pass the No Animal Sign, which makes Enguarde disappear if he was used. Leaping up some ledges on the wharf, Dixie Kong and Kiddy Kong will find two Banana Bunches under a tunnel surrounded by Krackas, and then head across a straight set of boardwalks to spot some more tightropes. As usual, they must be used to cross the dangerous waters below. After dodging all the Buzzes around the tightropes, the Kongs head along another set of boardwalks until they find some small tightropes, supported by stilts that progressively become higher. Hopping rope-to-rope over the ocean, they soon end up in a high area of the wharf and avoid several enemies. After traveling over some boardwalks and passing through a small tunnel, the monkeys find a flagpole. Raising its flag ends the level.

Enemies[edit]

Items and objects[edit]

  • K: Between two Koco east of the first Lurchin
  • O: On top of a house near some Re-Koil. The house itself has a Banana Bunch
  • N: Inside of a Bounty Bass. In order to defeat the Bounty Bass, the Kongs must utilize Enguarde
  • G: Found underneath the level's Koin. East of it is the second bonus barrel

DK Coin[edit]

On the last boardwalk, the Kongs must pass Koin and go to the Level Flag; the Steel Barrel is on a roof to the right. Kiddy must use team up to throw Dixie onto the roof. They must pick up the Steel Barrel and go back to Koin. The Kongs must throw the Steel Barrel at a wall behind Koin, which defeats him and gives the DK Coin to the Kongs.
