Another tree level. This named after an alternate name for the Nid enemies. They like the bounce around. Yellow ones will automatically bounce in place, while the pink ones leap when you step on them.

This level's Koin & DK Coin is reachable starting from around at 3:08, at the peak of the Pink Nid's jump, jump off from it, and then use Kiddy to Team-up toss upwards to reach a ledge that shows the pair. Take the Steel Barrel next to use, and carefully toss it up and away to get it through the hole above you can hit the Koin from behind. Use another Team-up toss as Kiddy to go through the hole, yourself, and pick up the DK Coin left behind. You can then use a TNT Barrel nearby to continue on the main path.

Here's the two Bonuses:

- For the first barrel, starting all the way from 0:50, you can drop down to hit a barrel to change to Squawks. Use him too fly to a new alternate path up-right. Try following it until you see the Bonus Barrel to the left outside of the tree you're in. This Bonus has you Grab 15 Green Bananas as Squawks without touching the Red Buzzers.

- For the second barrel, it is easily reachable at 4:42 by just falling downwards towards it after entering the tree. For this Bonus, you have to Collect 30 Stars. Some of them are along the Pink Nid's jump line, while the rest are during the drop towards the exit. You might have to do that drop twice.

I typically do not have to repeat a level for these DKC playthroughs, but I made an exception for this video. After beating Springin' Spiders, I go into the Brash's Cabin.

He's the most competitive of the Brothers Bear, and he wagers that you can't beat his Riverside Race time record of 1 minute 15 seconds. Time to prove him wrong!

Just go back through that level and pretty much speedrun through it. The reason why I didn't do it before is because I was focused on getting its Bonuses and DK Coins.

So after you do beat that record again go talk to Brash again, and he'll get... well... brash.

He throws a tantrum so furious, that it pushes a log outside into a river, and then it eventually stops to make a path. This is DEFINITELY leading into another secret Banana Bird cave, but I can't reach it, yet, until I beat the next level that comes before it.
