Pot Hole Panic,[1] also spelled Pothole Panic,[2] is the seventeenth level in Donkey Kong Land and the first level of Monkey Mountains. Pot Hole Panic takes place in a cave with many tires, necessary for reaching higher ledges and crossing pits.
Layout[edit]
At the start of the level, the Kongs encounter an Army and some Zingers. If the Kongs move the tire between the Zingers, they can reach the first DK Barrel and the letter K. After this, they have to walk a little farther into the dark cave. There are several ledges that they must climb up, and once up them all, the Kongs should see a big wall in the way. They can crawl into the small space under it and get to the other side of it. This must be done again, as there is another wall in the Kongs' path. After they get under all the walls, the heroes must ride across a small platform to get across a wide gap. Once they are over this pit, they should make their way down a large ledge and crawl under a wall, followed by a second one. Getting this obstacle done takes the Kongs to an area with a dangerous Krusha. They need to jump over the foe and continue on. Another pit must be crossed after this. Donkey and Diddy Kong should use a nearby platform to cross it, and then jump over a lone Zinger to get to the other end safely. After this, they need to use a tire to reach a high ledge, and then walk down several ledges. These ledges are occupied by Kritters and other foes, so the Kongs should be careful. Soon, the heroes make it to the end of a ledge, which they should jump off to find the Continue Point.
From this point, the group should find a tire laying around. They should push it under some Zingers and down a ledge, then stop. With the tire, they should bounce to a high ledge. Here, there is a DK Barrel to break, and the Kongs must carry on from here. After cross a small pit, they must keep going east and defeat a Kritter. Walking a little farther takes them to a Necky, who has to be avoided at all costs. The heroes need to dodge a few more enemies after that and soon cross another wide abyss with the aid of a moving platform. As the platform swings over the pit, the Kongs must jump over a Zinger and land on another platform. This one takes them to the other side of the pit, where they can see a portal. It takes them out of the level.

Items[edit]
K-O-N-G Letters[edit]
- K: Found by moving the bouncy tire to the banana trail and bouncing up it
- O: Also found by moving a tire to a banana trail, this one after some Klaptrap, and jumping up
- N: Above the perched Necky
- G: In the second bonus room
Bonus Areas[edit]
Pot Hole Panic has two Bonus Areas:
- Donkey Kong or Diddy must push the second tire of the level past the letter O and down a crawlspace. Once they are between the walls, the active Kong must bounce to a Blast Barrel at the left to access the first Bonus Area. An animal crate of Rambi is at the start, giving the Kongs the option to ride him. Rambi can charge into a few Kritters along the way, then cross a small gap to reach some bananas, and then jump into a Blast Barrel to leave the Bonus Area. When the Kongs return into the main level, they no longer have Rambi with them.
- Just before the letter N, the Kongs must push the tire on the ledge slightly left onto the lower path, where they must push it to the right while avoiding a few Zingers. Shortly after this, the Kongs come across a tall line of bananas. From here, the Kongs must bounce on the tire and enter a Blast Barrel above to enter the second Bonus Area. The Bonus Area takes place on a ship deck with the letter G, with a Mincer horizontally moving underneath it. With a timed jump, the Kongs can reach the letter G and exit from a Blast Barrel to the right.
