Level 1 is the first level in Donkey Kong Country Barrel Maze. This is the first level to feature mud, as well as the first to feature Silver Barrels, Gold Barrels, Hourglasses, and bananas. Additionally, it features the longest starting time limit out of every level in the game.
Overview[edit]
The barrel starts in a broad area behind a short bridge that crosses over a river. Soon after the bridge, the barrel encounters a sharp turning and needs to steer to go up a slant. Following this, there is an inevitable puddle, at the right of which the path continues with a banana bunch to help the barrel regain energy. Going down the tight path that follows, the barrel will soon have to cross a bridge and turn 90° to roll down a long slant, ending in a ramp that helps it skip a river stream. From here, there is another slant heading further down to the goal.
