Level 6 is the sixth level in Donkey Kong Country Barrel Maze. Like Level 4, this level heavily features mud, which is the main hazard appearing in the level. Compared to previous levels, Level 6 is relatively flat, though it makes heavy use of narrow pathways surrounded by mud that the player must navigate through.
Overview[edit]
The barrel begins on a high ledge, facing a paved path that stretches over a puddle. Immediately afterwards, there is a downward slope that helps the barrel ramp over a pit, landing in a puddle of mud. Ahead of the puddle is a banana bunch that restores lost health. A downward slope from the side of the puddle leads the barrel onto another mud-covered area paved with a snaking path. The player can choose to navigate the barrel safely on the snaking path, or dash straight through the mud and risk losing health. Going around a crevice, the barrel eventually escapes the muddy area and encounters a grassy stretch of land which leads to the goal. An initially hidden boulder starts rolling in the direction of the barrel as it enters the grassy area, prompting the player to be careful.
