Tippy Shippy
Template:Level Tippy Shippy is the forty-fourth level in the game Donkey Kong Country Returns and Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D. It is the seventh level in the Cliff area.
As this level's name suggests, it is filled with many broken ship parts that Donkey and Diddy Kong can travel on. Some parts of the boats are placed above large abysses to help the Kongs cross; cannons are in these parts, which cause platforms to appear just before they shoot to aid the primates in crossing. Other large ship parts are located on thin, tall rocks; they tip on the rocks when the Kongs stand on them. Additionally, tilting rocks are around the level, as well as swinging vines and a climbable, grassy turf, which is sometimes placed on ship parts that tilt. At the end of the level, Tiki enemies flying in the background of the level shoots cannonballs at the heroes, breaking parts of the ground. Enemies in this level include Tiki Goons, Tiki Boings, Pinchlies, Snaps, Squidlies, and Electrasquids.
In the Time Attack mode of the game, a time of 1:13:00 is needed to get a gold medal, a time of 1:38:00 for silver, and a time of 2:13:00 for bronze.

Secrets
K-O-N-G Letters
- K: Right before the first checkpoint, the primates can find the remains of a ship covered in a green, grassy turf. The ship part, which tilts when held on to, has the letter K on top of it. The heroes must climb to the top of it by jumping off of a raised platform on the previous ship wreckage to collect the item.
- O: The letter O is located above the fourth platform in the area of platforms in the background just before the second Barrel Cannon.
- N: The letter N is just before the third Barrel Cannon in the level between two ship parts that are supported by a wooden structure.
- G: When the primates are shot into the foreground at the end of the level, they land directly into the letter G.
Puzzle Pieces
- At the beginning of the level, DK or Diddy must climb to the top of the second wall of grassy turf and jump to the right. There is a door that leads them to a Bonus Level, where they must use a moving Barrel Cannon to grab fifty-seven bananas, two Banana Coins, and an Extra Life Balloon. If everything is collected within thirty seconds, a Puzzle Piece appears.
- After the heroes reach the first ship that is located in the background section of the level, they should travel past a few Squid Shots and fall into a small gap in the ship just before the last Squid Shot in the area to find a cracked stone. The can break it to find a hidden alcove that leads under the vessel and to the second Puzzle Piece.
- When the Kongs reach the ship in the foreground right after being shot out of the second Barrel Cannon, they can find the third Puzzle Piece on the ship part under the vessel's crow's nest. They should weigh down the right side of the ship part by holding onto the grassy, green turf on it and then jump on the part from a crate to reach the Puzzle Piece.
- In the same ship that hold the third Puzzle Piece, the Kongs need fall between two Squid Shots to travel down a small gap with a banana in it. The pit leads into a Bonus Level, where they must maneuver around several moving platforms to grab eighty bananas and two Banana Coins. If they collect everything within thirty seconds, a Puzzle Piece appears.
- At the letter G's location, the heroes should head left over many toppling platforms to find the fifth and final Puzzle Piece.
