'''Snake Charmer's Challenge'''<ref>{{cite|language=en-us|publisher=Nintendo of America|date=1995|title=''Donkey Kong Land'' instruction booklet|page=17}}</ref> is the thirteenth level in ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'' and the fourth level of [[Kremlantis]]. Snake Charmer's Challenge is the second temple level. It is filled with [[Basket of snakes|baskets of snakes]] that shoot [[Slippa]]s at [[Donkey Kong|Donkey]] and [[Diddy Kong]] or even roll down steps of the temple. The level has one [[Swirlwind]], its first appearance in the level. There are a few [[pit]]s along the way that the [[Kong]]s can cross by using a few [[rope]]s. Either Snake Charmer's Challenge or [[Chomp's Coliseum]] can be completed for an explosive barrel that is used to blow up a rock obstructing the path to the level, [[Nautilus Chase]].


This is the second temple level of the game. It is filled with [[Slippa Jar]]s that shoot [[Slippa]]s at [[Donkey Kong|Donkey]] and [[Diddy Kong]]. [[Swirlwind]]s also make their first appearance here, but only for a short time. Alongside those hazards, a few ropes are encountered here, and the monkeys can ride on them as they move left and right. Although Slippas are the main enemy in this level, [[Gnawty]]s, a [[Klaptrap]], and [[Zinger]]s can be found here as well.

From the start of the level, the Kongs should travel east and grab onto the nearby rope. It will move right and left. When it gets by the next ledge, they need to jump off, and continue on. They will soon find the level's first [[basket of snakes]], shooting Slippas at them. When it is passed, the heroes should use a Swirlwind to get an extra boost on hopping over a gap. Then, they should bounce off of a tire and grab a [[Kong Token]], and keep going east after that. They will later dodge a basket of snakes, along with its contents, and soon grab onto a rope. It will take them over a large abyss, where they can find the [[K-O-N-G Letters|letter K]]. When back on land, they need to continue east, avoid a basket of snakes, and grab onto yet another rope. As the rope before, it will guide them over a huge gap. As they go, there will a Zinger flying around to knock them off. After that, the Kongs will have to keep going forward and travel under another Zinger. After jumping over a rather small abyss, they will find the [[Continue Point]].

Halfway through the level, the Kongs will come up to two baskets of snakes, which can be destroyed with the [[TNT Barrel]]s nearby. From there, they must leap across a small gap and continue east. They will soon find the letter N, and have to hop over another small gap. There is a basket of snakes after this, as well as yet another small gap. Both obstacles can be overcome easily, and the Kongs should be able to move on. After they drop down a large ledge, they must cross a few big abysses. One of these abysses must be cross with the aid of a floating basket of snakes, which the Kongs can step on. After that, the heroes must avoid another basket of snakes and grab onto a rope. As it takes them over the large abyss below, they need to watch out for the Zinger buzzing around them. There is another rope after this in mid-air, and it will, as usual, move when the Kongs get on it. More Zingers than before are here, and they are flying all around. Soon, though, the group will reach land again, where they can exit the level.

Snake Charmer's Challenge[1] is the thirteenth level in Donkey Kong Land and the fourth level of Kremlantis. Snake Charmer's Challenge is the second temple level. It is filled with baskets of snakes that shoot Slippas at Donkey and Diddy Kong or even roll down steps of the temple. The level has one Swirlwind, its first appearance in the level. There are a few pits along the way that the Kongs can cross by using a few ropes. Either Snake Charmer's Challenge or Chomp's Coliseum can be completed for an explosive barrel that is used to blow up a rock obstructing the path to the level, Nautilus Chase.

Layout[edit]

Donkey Kong using TNT Barrels to destroy the enemies.

From the start of the level, the Kongs should travel east and grab onto the nearby rope. It will move right and left. When it gets by the next ledge, they need to jump off, and continue on. They will soon find the level's first basket of snakes, shooting Slippas at them. When it is passed, the heroes should use a Swirlwind to get an extra boost on hopping over a gap. Then, they should bounce off of a tire and grab a Kong Token, and keep going east after that. They will later dodge a basket of snakes, along with its contents, and soon grab onto a rope. It will take them over a large abyss, where they can find the letter K. When back on land, they need to continue east, avoid a basket of snakes, and grab onto yet another rope. As the rope before, it will guide them over a huge gap. As they go, there will a Zinger flying around to knock them off. After that, the Kongs will have to keep going forward and travel under another Zinger. After jumping over a rather small abyss, they will find the Continue Point.

Halfway through the level, the Kongs will come up to two baskets of snakes, which can be destroyed with the TNT Barrels nearby. From there, they must leap across a small gap and continue east. They will soon find the letter N, and have to hop over another small gap. There is a basket of snakes after this, as well as yet another small gap. Both obstacles can be overcome easily, and the Kongs should be able to move on. After they drop down a large ledge, they must cross a few big abysses. One of these abysses must be cross with the aid of a floating basket of snakes, which the Kongs can step on. After that, the heroes must avoid another basket of snakes and grab onto a rope. As it takes them over the large abyss below, they need to watch out for the Zinger buzzing around them. There is another rope after this in mid-air, and it will, as usual, move when the Kongs get on it. More Zingers than before are here, and they are flying all around. Soon, though, the group will reach land again, where they can exit the level.
