Bramble Blast (Donkey Kong Country 2)
This article is under construction. Therefore, please excuse its informal appearance while it is being worked on. We hope to have it completed by February 7, 2010.
Template:Level Bramble Blast is the sixteenth level of Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, and the sixth area of Krem Quay. This level appeared again as the eighteenth level of Donkey Kong Land 2, with a similar layout. Here, it was the third area of Krazy Kremland.
This are the game's first bramble level. The Kongs must navigate through the thorns via many series of Barrel Cannons. One wrong move will blast the Kongs into the brambles, so they need to watch their timing. Klampons, Zingers, Click-Clacks and Flitters will also impede on the Kongs' progress. Squawks can also be found near the end of the level, and he'll help the Kongs nab a DK Coin, as well as reach a Bonus Barrel.
Level Layout
Donkey Kong Country 2
Starting from the beginning, the heroes will jump into a Barrel Cannon and shoot through the other barrels to the top right corner, where they can go to another section of barrels. Again, they need to shoot barrel-to-barrel to the right side. There is a Zinger as they go, waiting to attack. At some point here, they'll in a barrel that will blast them between the brambles and past a Zinger. It will take the monkeys to the third section of barrels, where they must bounce through each barrel to a gap hidden up north. With careful aim, they should shoot to the next barrel here, but a Zinger floats nearby, and it can hurt one of the monkeys. When they get to this barrel, it will shoot the Kongs to the fourth barrel-filled section. These barrels are placed in the shape of a diamond, in which they need to go around the perimeter of. Soon, they will get to a spinning barrel. Using this, they must blast to a few other spinning barrels, but with careful aim, as on bad move will get them right into the sharp brambles. Later, they will get to the fifth barrel section. With the help of some bananas leading the way, the heroes can get out of here, and be shot to three barrels in an open space. With these barrels, the group must blast through the gap below and get into a spinning barrel. This is followed by more spinning barrels. With cautious aim, they will eventually get to more barrels, but these one tilt left and right. When the barrel turns right, they need to shoot out of it, and get to the next barrel. As they go, they'll pass the Star Barrel.
At this point, the heroes will get to the sixth area filled with barrels. Again, the barrels are place in the form of a diamond, and the Kongs must do around the perimeter of it by blasting through the barrels, without hitting the Zinger in the center. After this, they will be in a tight space, and have to carefully aim to each of the spinning barrels. Soon, they will get to some barrels which tilt left and right again. When the good timing come, the Kongs need to shoot to the next barrel, and avoid the Zinger in between them. Afterwords, they will back blasted to a platform with a Klampon on it. Once this foe is passed, the monkeys must jump into the abyss and shoot through the barrels back to another platform, with two Click-Clacks on it. At this point, they need to defeat the enemies and shoot through more barrels. One of them will aim to another section of barrels, where the group must use the help of bananas to lead them to the bottom right corner. Here, they will be shot through more barrels, and later some spinning barrels. These barrels will get them between the dangerous brambles. After this, the Kongs will get in a tilting barrel, which they must use to blast to a Flitter, bounce off of it, and land into another barrel. This barrel will shoot them to three more Flitters to bounce off of. Soon, the group will make it to a platform, where the end of the level is.

Trivia
A remix of the background music of Bramble Blast appears as a selectable Donkey Kong song that can be played in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. In Brawl, the song is entitled "Bramble Blast" to match the actual level. However, the song's title, as evidenced by the Donkey Kong Country 2 official soundtrack, is known as "Stickerbrush Symphony".
