Template:Level Manic Mincers is the thirtieth level of the classic Donkey Kong game, Donkey Kong Country. It is also the second level of the Chimp Caverns area.

Taking place in a damp cave, Donkey and Diddy will find themselves surrounded by many, many Mincers. These enemies will be found all over the level, moving in several fast patterns to hit into the monkeys. The heroes will find themselves dashing under Mincers and jumping over them as they ride along platforms. Next to Mincers, the most abundant foe in this level will be Krushas, who are found often in the stage. These foes can knock the monkeys in a pit or into a Mincer with their strength. Gnawties also appear in this level, but are less of a threat to the Kongs than the other enemies. Though the level could be hard for the Kongs, Rambi the Rhinoceros can be found easily in this level to ride and defeat enemies with.

Level Layout

From the start of the level, the heroes must defeat a Gnawty and jump over a Mincer in a small pit. After this, they will have to dash under two more Mincers and grab the letter K. Again, the monkeys will need to jump over a Mincer in a small abyss, and then break open a crate with Rambi the Rhinoceros in it. Once they get on the powerful rhino, they must jump between two sharp Mincers and climb up a few ledges with Gnawties and Mincers around them. On the top ledge, the Kongs will need to hop between two Mincers again and grab the letter O. After that, they must walk under a Mincer and walk a little farther to enter an area where they will have to jump over a few more Mincers. Eventually, the heroes will walk down a long path to find the Star Barrel.

Now halfway through the level, the monkeys will have to run under a group of fast-moving Mincers and jump between two Mincers in mid-air. Once this is done, the Kongs will come up to an area where they will see three Mincers moving in a circle. They must dash under them and then come up to a wide abyss. A platform must be used to cross it. As the platform moves them over the gap, they will have to jump over a lone Mincer. On the other end of the abyss, Donkey and Diddy must head east and beat a Krusha to find another area with an abyss. Again, it must be crossed by using a platform. The platform will hover under two Mincers as it moves along the abyss, so the heroes will have to be careful. After getting over the gap, the Kongs will meet up with another pit. With a stationery platform, the heroes must cross the pit and pass a few Krushas to find yet another gap. Just as before, the monkeys must cross it by using an unmoving platform, though this time the platform will be orbited by two Mincers. When this gap is passed, they heroes will need to beat some Gnawties and dodge more Mincers. After that, they should simply walk down the strait path, defeating several Gnawties, until they find a tire on the path. It must be used to hop over two Mincers stacked on top of each other. If the group travels a little farther after this area, they will make their way to the next level.

Bonus Level(s)

  • Mid-way through the level, the heroes will see a lone barrel near a small alcove with a Krusha in it. They must pick up the barrel and blast the wall to the right of the foe with it, or just blast it away with Rambi. Once the opening is revealed, the heroes must walk in and enter the Bonus Level, where they will have to jump on three Klaptraps to earn many Banana Bunches. At some point, the foes will be knocked out, and the monkeys will be awarded with an Extra Life Balloon. After that, they will be taken back to the main level.
  • Near the end of the level, the Kongs will find the opening to a small cave. They must simply walk into it to enter the Bonus Level. Inside, they must sneak under four Mincers as they move up and down. At the end of the area, the heroes must walk into another opening to exit the bonus.
  • After exiting the second Bonus Level, the Kongs will find themselves next to a TNT Barrel. They must pick up the barrel and carry it down a ledge. Trying not to bumping any Gnawties, the monkeys must blast away the first wall they see and enter the opening to get in the third and final Bonus Level. There, they will need to watch as an Extra Life Balloon moves around four barrels. Once it stops and disappears, the heroes will have to choose the barrel they think its in. If they choose correctly, they will be awarded with the balloon, and then exit the bonus.
