Total Rekoil

Template:Level Total Rekoil is the fourth level in the Game Boy and Game Boy Color game, Donkey Kong Land III. It takes place inside a large water-mill located in the center of Cape Codswallop.

As this level's name implies, it is infested with Re-Koils, who will try to block the Kongs' way as they ascent through the musty mill. Hopping all over certain areas, they can be quite a hazard to careless explorers. However, these are not the only enemies in the Kongs' way, as Dixie and Kiddy will also encounter Kobbles, Sneeks and Buzzes. Many of these enemies will try to hinder the monkeys' progress, while they climb up ropes, ride up elevator lifts, and make their way over the wooden surface of the level.

Level Layout

When the level starts out, the heroes will jump onto an elevator lift and head to the second floor. There, they will move along several ledges on a long pathway, defeating some Re-Koils. Soon, they will see an elevator lift that will guide them to another lift. This lift will take them to the letter K and then to the next floor, where they will travel east and dodge more Re-Koils to spy a rope. If they climb up this rope, they will be taken to an even higher floor. There, they will drop down from a boardwalk and ride to the letter O on an elevator lift. Once they do this, they will continue west and soon come up to the Star Barrel.

About halfway through the level, the monkeys will ride up a set of lifts to reach yet another floor. There, they will move east, beating some Sneeks and finding the letter N under a large boardwalk. Walking farther into the level, they will jump over some ledges and find another elevator lift. It will lead them to the next floor, where they will head west again and find the letter G in a small alcove. Farther on, they will pass a few Kobbles and a Re-Koil to see a flagpole. If they touch the flagpole, the level will end.

Secrets

Bonus Levels

• Just as the level starts, the Kongs should jump up and land in an invisible barrel. It will fire them to a Bonus Barrel. This special barrel will take them into a Bonus Level, where they will need to run across a strait pathway and defeat a few enemies. If they beat all these enemies and make it to the end of the area in twenty seconds, they will be awarded with a Bonus Coin.
• Shortly after the letter N, the heroes will ride up an elevator lift to the next floor. On their travels, they will see an elevator to the right, which they should jump onto an ride high through the mill. Above them, they will see a Bonus Barrel, which they will need to jump into. It will take them to a Bonus Level, where the apes will have to simply run through the area and collect twenty four stars in thirty seconds. Avoiding a lone Re-Koil, they will soon find a Bonus Coin to get with their remaining time.

DK Coin

• After the monkeys pass the level's first Booty Bird, they will need to continue along the path to find an elevator lift. They should ignore the elevator and continue west to find a Koin, with the DK Coin. They will have to defeat him to get it. Though his shield will protect him from most attacks, the monkeys can use a steel barrel found on the above boardwalk and throw it against the wall. As the Koin pays attention to the monkeys, the barrel will bounce back and hit him on the side, giving the heroes his DK Coin.

Trivia

• Although the correct spelling of "Re-Koil" includes a hyphen, this level's name is spelled without one. Other similar mistakes exist in the Donkey Kong series, such as Krochead/Krockhead Klamber or Minkey/Minky Mischief.
• The level's name is likely a reference to either "total recall" (photographic memory) or the film Total Recall.
