Rattle Battle (Donkey Kong Country 2)

This article is under construction. Therefore, please excuse its informal appearance while it is being worked on. We hope to have it completed soon.

Template:Level Rattle Battle is the fourteenth level of Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and Donkey Kong Land 2. It is the fourth area of Krem Quay in Diddy's Kong Quest, as well as the ninth area of Krem Cauldron in Donkey Kong Land 2.

Taking place on the deck of Glimmer's Galleon, the Kongs will discover their first Animal Barrel here, containing Rattly the Rattlesnake, who must be played as throughout almost the whole level. Rattly's jumping skills prove useful here, as they are needed to cross large gaps and to reach highly-placed items. Kannons, Kaboings, Zingers and Flitters can be found here.

Donkey Kong Country 2

Bonus Level(s)

At the very start of the level, the Kongs must jump in the air. They should land in an invisible barrel, which will shoot them to a higher part of the ship. The heroes can collect a Banana Coin and a Banana Bunch. They will also find a Bonus Barrel up here, but it is too high in the air to reach with a normal jump. The group need to use their Team-up move and toss a monkeys into it. Now in the Bonus Level, they must climb atop rows of barrels. The Kremkoin is on the top row.

At some point of the level, the monkeys will find a bunch of Kaboings bouncing around near a small gap in the ship. They need to jump down in the gap and grab two bananas, then travel west into the ship. They will get in a hidden Bonus Barrel, leading to the Bonus Level. Here, Rattly must be used to bounce off of several Zingers over a large abyss. Once he hops across the gap, the Kremkoin will appear.

Later in the level, Rattly and the Kongs should find a barrel with an arrow above it, pointing up. The rattlesnake needs to get on this barrel and use his special jump to fling high into the air, where he should land in a Bonus Barrel, leading to the Bonus Level. In this special stage, the snake must bounce on piles of barrel to collect stars in the air. Once he grabs them all, the Kremkoin will appear.

DK Coin

At some point of the level, the heroes should see several barrels pile up on each other, with Kaboings bouncing on them. Rattly and the monkeys must approach the abyss near this part, and jump into the side of the ship, watching out for the Zinger above. They should get the DK Coin here, and then be shot out of the inside by a hidden barrel.

Golden Feather (GBA Only)

About halfway through the level, the heroes will find the first Kannon. They need to pass him and jump across a large abyss, where they will spot a pile of two barrels. They must climb up these barrels, and grab the Golden Feather on top of it.
