Bubbling cauldrons,[1] also referred to as boiling pots,[1] are massive vats full of molten metal[2] in the various factory stages in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! (and its Game Boy Advance remake) and Donkey Kong Land III. Cauldrons appear in different depths and colors, but they always serve as a hazard that hurts the Kongs and their Animal Friends on contact. Generally, bubbling cauldrons are crossed via ropes above them or by bouncing off other objects or enemies.
