Revision as of 19:48, March 17, 2011
This article is under construction. Therefore, please excuse its informal appearance while it is being worked on. We hope to have it completed as soon as possible.
Template:Level Haunted Hall is the twenty-fourth level of Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, and the second area of Gloomy Gulch. It is one of two levels (the other being Castle Crush) that does not appear in the game's semi-sequel, Donkey Kong Land 2. Instead, it is replaced by a more generic roller-coaster level known as Krazy Koaster.
Although this is a roller coaster level, it is the only stage to be set inside a haunted library. Kackles, in their first and only appearance, pursue the Kongs throughout the level here, and the they must deal with them through the use of Plus and Minus Barrels. Because Kackles catch the Kongs when the timer, found at the top of the screen throughout the level, runs out, they have to increase the timer whenever they can by touching Plus Barrels. If they are not careful, they can decrease the timer by hitting Minus Barrels. Other than Kackles, Zingers also can be found on the track.
The music of Haunted Hall is called "Haunted Chase."
Level Layout
Donkey Kong Country 2
The level begins on a large, wooden platform with a gap ahead of it. Two hooks are above the gap to aid the heroes in crossing. A track is on the other side of the gap with a Skull Cart on it. As soon as the cart is entered, it begins to move and take the Kongs along a bumpy path to a small ramp with the first DK Barrel near it. There is a gate near here. When it is entered, a Kackle with a blue bandanna starts to chase the primates. As it chases them, the heroes ride up a hill towards a Plus Barrel, followed by another on the bumpy track. A gap is right after this with the letter K above it. As the two friends travel farther ahead, they ride up a hill with another Plus Barrel on it. The track soon flattens out. As the Skull Cart moves along it, it approaches two Minus Barrels with only a small space between them. A gate is after the pair, and when it is passed through, the Kackle ceases to chase them.
A bumpy path is after here. A hill is at the end of it that pulls the heroes downwards. As they ride down the hill, they can notice a separate track hidden nearby that leads to two Bonus Levels. If the miss this track, they ride across a track with two Zingers above it. Shortly after passing the two foes, they ride through the second gate, causing the second Kackle to chase them. Upon entering the gate, they ride up and down a large hill. A Plus Barrel is on the way down it, while another is at the bottom of the hill. Three more Plus Barrels are along the bumpy trail ahead, but each of them only replenish a few seconds. After the third barrel, the Kongs ride up a hill and approach a gap that they must pass. They ride down a hill after this, traveling towards another Plus Barrel. There is a small gap ahead, but a lower track is in it. A Banana Coin sits on it. Once this small section is passed, the primates come up to a Plus Barrel, followed by another just before a gap with the letter O in it. A Plus Barrel is also at the edge of the other side of the gap. A gate is just ahead of here, and the Kackle stops chasing them when it is passed. The level's Star Barrel floats at the top of a hill found after here.
Soon after that, the heroes will pass another gate and meet the third Kackle of the level. This time, they have 30 seconds until the villain attacks. However, the area is cluttered with - Barrels, and they can take a lot of time away from the heroes if touched. Eventually, though, they should pass through another gate and leave that Kackle in the distance. From this point, the monkeys need to jump over a few more Zingers and get through the next gate, where another Kackle will chase them. This time around, there is a mixture off + and - Barrels all through the area. They can give or take away a lot of time, too. Once the monkeys safely pass through the next, and final, gate, they will enter a tunnel. They will then end up without their cart, and be able to hit the Ending Pad to exit the level.
Secrets
K-O-N-G Letters
- K: The letter K is above the first gap found after the first Kackle begins to chase the Kongs.
- O: The letter O is above the last gap just before the Star Barrel.
Bonus Levels
- Bonus Level 1 and 2: When the Kongs are being chased by the first Kackle, they can find two separate tracks: one that leads up, and one that continues strait ahead. The primates should jump up to the track leading upwards, where they can see the entrance to a tunnel (which takes them to the second Bonus Level). Instead of going into it, they must jump on top of it to ride into the first Bonus Level. Here, the heroes need to travel up the track. Soon, they ride up a steep hill and hit a Plus Barrel. At the moment they touch it, the Kongs are shot backwards across the track. As they go back down the steep hill, they must jump up to another track and continue crossing gaps at a high speed. At the end, they run right into the Kremkoin and exit the Bonus Area. When they are back in the main level, still going backwards, the primates land right in from of the tunnel they had just been above. Suddenly, the cart switches directions and moves on forward into the next Bonus Level. Here, they must travel down the track and collect as many stars as they can. If they collect enough, the second Kremkoin appears.
- Bonus Level 3: While being chased by the second Kackle past the Star Barrel, the Kongs can find two separate tracks. As before, one leads strait forward, while the other goes upwards. The Kongs should make a small jump and take the bottom route, which leads to a Bonus Barrel that shoots them into a Bonus Level. Here, they have to ride their Skull Cart at the highest possible speed and cross large gaps with it. Eventually, they can make it to the end of the course and obtain the Kremkoin.
DK Coin
- At the end of the level before the Kongs hit the End of Level Target, they should walk under the tunnel to the left. When they go in, they grab the DK Coin, and then are shot out of the tunnel from a barrel. In the Game Boy Advance port, the coin is present in a different area. Instead, it is hidden behind the Kongs in the doorway at the end of the level. They must jump up to reach it.
Golden Feather (Game Boy Advance version only)
- When the heroes begin the level, they should jump through an abyss before getting on the Skull Cart. If Dixie Kong is in the lead, she will land into a hidden Dixie Barrel and be shot to the Golden Feather.
Photograph (Game Boy Advance version only)
- At the end of the level when the heroes get off of their Skull Cart, they should scurry under a small tunnel. Once they do this, they are blasted back out of the tunnel through a barrel with the newly-earned photograph, which they can add a picture to their scrapbook with.
