Simian Swing[1] is the third level in Donkey Kong Land and of the first world, Gangplank Galleon Ahoy!.
Simian Swing is a jungle level where Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong must swing from many ropes to cross wide gaps and reach high ledges. The Kongs must avoid some Zingers flying around near the ropes. A lot of the level takes place on the treetops, some of which have hidden items on them. Aside from Zingers, the level includes Kritters, Gnawties, and Slippas.
Layout
From the start of the level, the Kongs must jump up several ledges and defeat some Kremlings. Soon, they come up to an abyss, which must be crossed by using the rope above. From there, they must continue east and cross another gap with the aid of a few ropes. After beating a Gnawty, they must journey farther and get atop some treetops. They reach another gap here, so they need to swing along another rope and land on a small platform. However, there is another abyss after this, so the heroes must grab onto yet another rope and swing across. Once across the gaps, the Kongs need to defeat a couple Slippas and hit the Continue Point.
Halfway through the level, the Kongs have to get back on the treetops and watch out for jumping Kremlings. Then, they encounter another abyss. To cross it, they must swing across a series of ropes while dodging a Zinger. Soon, they are able to get back on land and continue their adventure. After reaching and crossing another abyss, dodging more Zingers, the Kongs encounter a lone Kremling on a small platform, behind which is a larger platform leading to the level's exit.
