Fruity Factory

Not to be confused with Fruit Factory.

Fruity Factory is the third level of Juicy Jungle in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. The level takes place in the factory where the fruits are processed.

Overview

The Kongs in Fruity Factory.

The level starts outside the first of possibly two separate factories, where beyond two Chompasauri lies the entrance into a building where giant watermelons are being carried and processed. The Kongs multiple oversized death traps throughout the level: giant fruit-cutting cleavers, huge juicers that drill through giant fruits, large columns of spinning blades that destroy pathways made of fruits, and spiked paddle traps, among others. Several areas of the level feature long pits of shuriken-shaped blades that mince giant orange-like fruits into large and small slices, which act as flat platforms that fly upwards and hover in the air momentarily before falling back down. At the end of the level, the Kongs land inside the bottom of a huge barrel, in which they must jump onto multiple fruit slice-platforms to outlast a rising pit of blades until they reach the Slot Machine Barrel at the barrel's top.

The secret exit to Beehive Brawl is located immediately past the second checkpoint, hidden in an alcove above the passageway with two Banana Bunches and a Kong Barrel guarded by an Archy. The player Kong should take out the Chompasaurus patrolling the top platform of the large wooden structure, then jump to the right from that platform to reach the hidden alcove that houses the exit; though it is possible for solo Donkey Kong to reach the ledge with a Roll Attack and a well-timed jump, it is recommended that he have a partner to aid him, preferably by using the aforementioned Kong Barrel further within the passageway and backtracking to cross the gap.

4. After passing Professor Chops in the second factory, hand slap the purple plump fruit to reveal a Puzzle Piece.
