Aqueduct Assault

Aqueduct Assault is the third level of Donkey Kong Island in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. Corresponding to the Ruins level from Donkey Kong Country Returns, it takes place over the frozen ancient architects.

Overview

The level starts out on the iced stone-built architect in the jungle. Most platforms here collapse as the Kongs land on them, so the player should act quickly. However, some of the platforms spawn items such as a Puzzle Piece after they have slid down completely. At the very end, the statue of the Donkey Kong sprite from the Donkey Kong arcade games that appeared in Wonky Waterway can be seen at the background, now holding a Wii U GamePad instead of a Wii Remote.
