Fruity Factory

Fruity Factory is the third level of Juicy Jungle in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. The level takes place in the factory where the fruits are processed.

Overview

The Kongs in Fruity Factory.

The level starts out where the green smoke comes out from the bottom. Past the place with two Chompasauri is the passage through the factory, where giant watermelons are being carried and processed. The level introduces new type of death traps: giant fruit cutting knives, huge juicers that drill through giant fruits, spinning blades that cut through fruits, and another sets of fruit cutting knives in a shape of a shuriken. Other than watermelons that act as a platform, sliced giant orange-like fruits act as a flat platform, but it has to get through quickly, because it will fall into the bottom, where there are shuriken-like blades that mince fruits. In addition to the aforementioned traps and fruits, there seem to be two factories instead of one, which seem to be separate ones but works in a same way. At the end of the level lies the huge barrel that houses the fruit-cutting blades. They cut through orange-like fruits that act as a platform. At the end of the giant barrel lies a Slot Machine Barrel.
