Miller Instinct
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 Miller Instinct is the twelfth level in Donkey Kong Land III. It takes place inside a large water-mill located in the west of the Primate Plains, and is the sixth level in this area. The water of the nearby river drives the blades of the big wooden wheel, however it is unknown whether the mill produces flour like those in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble.
Early in the level, Dixie Kong and Kiddy Kong will find Squawks the Parrot in an Animal Barrel. Since the mill is almost completely devoid of elevator platforms, the Kongs will need their friend's abilities to reach the higher stories. The player will thus be playing as Squawks for most of this level. Many Buzzes, Re-Koils, Sneeks and Bristles will try to block the parrot's way, but spitting eggs at them shall clear the way. Farther into the level, the areas will become filled with many extra corridors and dead-ends. The parrot will need to make his way around all the passages, possibly finding some special prizes, such as Bear Coins, until the end of the level, where the Kongs will find their way around the rest of the area, running along a few platforms, avoiding more enemies.

Secrets
Bonus Level(s)
- From where the level's Koin is found, the Kongs should head to the right and jump over a barrel, making their way into the corner of the area. A hidden Bonus Barrel will suddenly pick them up, taking them to a Bonus Level. There, they will need to grab several stars scattered around the stage. Many of these stars can be found by climbing on the rope hanging from the ceiling. After all the stars are obtained, a Bonus Coin will appear nearby.
- Near the end of the level, Squawks the Parrot will make his way to the left to find a No Animal Sign. Before passing it, he should fly to the right and pass a hidden No Animal Sign in the area. This will turn him back into the Kongs, who will have to walk into a Bonus Barrel to the right. It will lead to a Bonus Level, where they will need to blast through several Rotatable Barrels to make their way around a large, empty area. Soon, they will be fired out of a barrel to find the Bonus Coin.
DK Coin
- After the heroes shoot out of the level's first barrel, they will fly into a Koin with the DK Coin. He will need to be defeated for the Kongs to get his DK Coin. So, they monkeys will need to retrieve the steel keg from the area above them by using a few ropes. With the barrel, they should stand on the Koin, then throw the barrel at the nearest wall. While the Koin is distracted, the barrel will bounce back and hit him in the side. This will beat him, thus giving the Kongs the DK Coin.
Trivia
- Miller Instinct is a pun on Killer Instinct, a fighting game developed by Rare and published by Nintendo.
