Hey folks, this is '''Driftmaster130''', new Community Report writer after {{user|YoshiKong}} left his position. Welcome to the March issue, here's what's been going on at the wiki lately:
|title=Windmill Hills
|image=[[File:WindmillHills1.png|260px]]
|code=2 - 1
|game=''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]''

'''Windmill Hills''' is the first level of [[Autumn Hills]], and the ninth overall in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]''. It contains several rotating windmills that the characters must use as platforms.


==Overview==
YoshiKong, who previously wrote this section retired from his admin position on the wiki in early February. Best of luck to you in real life YK.
Windmill Hills starts out in a small jungle (less dense that the areas found in [[Lost Mangroves]]) containing several [[Cheesy Chester]]s and [[Hootz]], as well as a row of spinning windmills with spinning platforms. The player must use [[Dixie Kong]]'s flying ability to get over the gaps and jump on larger enemies such as [[Puffton]]s, after which there is a Checkpoint. Following a [[Schnautzel]], Dk and Dixie will navigate more windmills, this time which spin faster than the ones before the checkpoint. After landing on a small patch of land where a (rat-like enemy) randomly comes out, the Kongs will go through a series of [[Barrel Cannon]]s, which take them across more windmills, between which are several [[Banana]]s, after which there is a similar windmill where they will receive [[Extra Life Balloon]]s if all the Bananas are collected. Soon after this, there is a bag containing one of the level's [[Puzzle Piece]]s that must be opened by throwing the Diddy Kong barrel at it, which will switch Dixie out with him. Diddy's jetpack ability works similarly to Dixie's hair, still allowing the Kongs to fly short distances. Following that, DK and Diddy will have to go up a stack of spinning gears, which have platforms that rotate at the same time. There are also [[Pointy Tuck]]s on the platforms, which cannot be jumped on (because of the headgear). Upon getting to the top, the Kongs will go on a large platform attached to a long cord (acting as a slow zipline) which leads them to another area with a windmill containing bells that have to be rung (which ends up giving a Puzzle Piece), as well as the letter "N". Following this, DK and Diddy will go through another series of Barrel Cannons, this time flying through a wide area with fall-colored trees and more windmills with items, after which they land on a platform containing the [[Slot Machine Barrel]] that ends the level.


Also, some updates were made to the wiki's policy: First, [[MarioWiki:Good Writing]] was {{plainlink|1=[http://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=MarioWiki:Good_Writing&diff=1619660&oldid=1593749 changed]}} to address the "Captain Obvious" issue, meaning editors should try not to explain what can already be easily assumed from the article. Going indepth with small puns that make up an article name are also discouraged. And secondly, the arbitrary rule in [[MarioWiki:Featured Articles]] stating that an article must be 9000 bytes or more to be nominated, was {{plainlink|1=[http://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=MarioWiki:Featured_Articles&diff=1629291&oldid=1629091 removed]}}.

Now for the [[MarioWiki:proposals|proposals]] which recently ended:


==Hidden Collectibles and Objects==
(credit to YoshiKong for previously developing this coded table system)
===K-O-N-G Letters===
*K: Right above the flying Hootz's head below the second windmill, the jump to get it must be timed correctly.
*O: In front of the first gear (see above) on the right.
*N: On a small platform above a gap, next to the windmill with the bells.
*G: In between two of the Barrel Cannons before the end of the level.


===Puzzle Pieces===

#By breaking the wall behind where they first started out in the level with a barrel, the Kongs will go to a secret area, where if all the bananas are collected in 30 seconds they will receive the first Puzzle Piece.

#On the windmill right behind where the flying Hootz with the letter "K" is, more bananas will appear as the ones on the arms are collected, and after collecting all of them the second Puzzle Piece will appear.

!Summary
#After pounding next to the barrel near where the Schnautzel is, some bananas will appear and if all of them are collected the player will receive the Puzzle Piece.

It is advised that any part of this user's own work is not copied and used on any other page.

Hey folks, this is Driftmaster130, new Community Report writer after YoshiKong (talk) left his position. Welcome to the March issue, here's what's been going on at the wiki lately:

YoshiKong, who previously wrote this section retired from his admin position on the wiki in early February. Best of luck to you in real life YK.

Also, some updates were made to the wiki's policy: First, MarioWiki:Good Writing was Template:Plainlink to address the "Captain Obvious" issue, meaning editors should try not to explain what can already be easily assumed from the article. Going indepth with small puns that make up an article name are also discouraged. And secondly, the arbitrary rule in MarioWiki:Featured Articles stating that an article must be 9000 bytes or more to be nominated, was Template:Plainlink. ...
