The main mechanic of the level is the platforms that constantly rotate 360° to the beat of the level's background music, which are used to progress through the level.

 

In the [[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D#Time Attack|Time Attack]] mode of the game, a time of 1:40:00 is needed to get a gold medal, a time of 1:55:00 for silver, and a time of 2:20:00 for bronze.

Heading right, [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] will immediately find [[Skittler]]s and two rotating rectangular platforms. Beyond the bouncy mushrooms are more rotating platforms. Unlike the previous ones that remain available for use as platforms when rotating, these platforms are flat and can only be stood on when in a horizontal position, but not when vertical. The Kongs must time their jumps to traverse the pit. After that, the Kongs can use the rotating platform (when vertical) to climb the grassy ceiling to collect [[banana]]s and cross the bed of spikes or simply jump over it. A yellow button then must be pounded several times to reveal the next area in the background, as well as a [[Barrel Cannon]] leading to it.

Past the first checkpoint are four flat platforms, with the latter two rotating at different times to the former two. Here, the Kongs must make quick jumps to get across. After the bouncy mushrooms are two rectangular platforms, but this time, their longest sides are covered in grass and they rotate more frequently. They must be used to cross the wide bed of spikes and to reach an area with multiple flat rotating platforms with [[Tiki Torch]]es between them. Two bouncy mushrooms lie past the pit (the circling bananas between them can be collected to reveal a 20 [[Banana Bunch]]), as well a much wider flat rotating platform. Another yellow button past the platform (which must be pressed three times) reveals a wider grass-covered rotating rectangular platform (which also rotates less quickly and frequently), and the next checkpoint.

The Kongs must reach the top of a vertical area using the fast rotating rectangular platforms. At the top, the Kongs must climb the ceiling grass and jump on a variety of rotating platforms to cross the spikes and pit. At the cave's exit, there is a wall of grass which leads to many more previously encountered rotating platforms as well as [[Tiki Zing]]s. Here, the Kongs must carefully time their jumps to reach the top-right stationary platform where the [[Slot Machine Barrel]] is located (there is a Barrel Cannon located at the bottom-right just above the pit that leads back to the cave's exit should the Kongs fall off the platforms).

#The Kongs must use the second set of rotating platforms in the level to climb up a grass-covered wheel to reach a Barrel Cannon leading to a [[Bonus Area]]. Here, every item must be collected to reveal the [[Puzzle Piece (Donkey Kong Country series)|Puzzle Piece]] using the many platforms.

#Just to the left of the first checkpoint are two rotating platforms each with circling bananas above them. The right circle of bananas reveals a Banana Bunch when collected, while the left one reveals a Puzzle Piece.

#At the top of the vertical area with rotating platforms after the second checkpoint, the Kongs should head left to find a leaf-covered area with the Puzzle Piece as well as bananas and [[Banana Coin]]s.
