Template:Levelbox Deck Trek is the fourth level in Donkey Kong Land and of the first world, Gangplank Galleon Ahoy!.
Summary
Deck Trek is the first level that takes place on a ship mast. It is a vertical level where Donkey Kong and Diddy must go up to the highest mast at the end, by jumping from masts, climbing ropes, and blasting from Barrel Cannons. The Kongs encounter some Kritters, Gnawtys, Zingers, and Mini-Neckys along the way. Both of the Bonus Areas are notable in that the first one introduces the city theme and Mincers, a type of enemy usually encountered later on in the game, while the other Bonus Level introduces Expresso the Ostrich, whose gliding ability is use to collect both the letter N and the letter G.
An explosive barrel is at the end, just before the exit portal. The Kongs must collect it to blow up either of the two boulders on the world map; the top boulder leads to Rope Ravine and the bottom one leads to Tyre Trail. After obtaining an explosive barrel, the Kongs can replay Deck Trek to obtain the other explosive barrel, which corresponds to one of the other boulders, depending on which boulder was blown up first.
The music for Deck Trek and other ship levels is taken from Gang-Plank Galleon in Donkey Kong Country. It lacks the segue into the more intense section of the song. This theme is recursively given to Gang-Plank Galleon in the Game Boy Color remake of Donkey Kong Country.
