'''Hornet Hole''' is the seventeenth level of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and the first level of [[Krazy Kremland]]. | '''Hornet Hole''' is the seventeenth level of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and the first level of [[Krazy Kremland]]. It takes place in a wasp hive filled with [[Zinger]]s, and there is sticky honey coating one some of the walls and on parts of the ground. The Kongs can neither walk nor attack while they are stuck to the honey, and jumping is the only way they can free themselves from it. Diddy and Dixie cling to the honey on the wall and jump up until they get to the top. Alternatively, if there is another wall of honey adjacent to the wall that the Kongs are on, they can wall jump from both walls, similarly to a [[Wall Jump]]. Aside from Zingers, there are [[Spiny (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Spinies]], a few [[Click-Clack]]s near the starting area, and a few [[Krook]]s later on into the level. A [[Squitter]] [[animal crate|Crate]] is on a floating platform just before the [[Star Barrel]], and to reach it, the Kongs must use a team up throw to reach a [[hook]] and then jump their way up the honey-covered wall. Squitter cannot be slowed down by the honey on the ground, and his web platforms for access into some of the hidden areas. | ||

Several ledges coated with honey are on the other side of the pit, and Spinies walk along them. At the bottom of the ledges, there is a thin gap with a Zinger on top of it. If they defeat this foe, they can safely enter the gap to find a hidden area that contains a Blast Barrel and a wall of Zingers that block a room consisting of many bananas and a [[DK Coin|Video Game Hero]]. They can exit this secret area with the use of the nearby Blast Barrel. Outside of this gap, the primates can find another Blast Barrel being guarded by a Zinger. They can use this barrel or the nearby honey wall to reach a ledge with a Krook positioned on it. The letter N floats above this enemy's head. Another wall of honey is to the left of here, and as they climb up this, a fast-moving Zinger, who flies over another DK Barrel, gets in their way. If they travel west at the top of the wall, they come across more Spinies that walk over gooey honey. A ledge with a Bonus Level ahead of it is hidden at the top of this area, and it is guarded by a Zinger. To the west of here, there is a small pit that can only be crossed with the use of a hook that is surrounded by a Zinger. | Several ledges coated with honey are on the other side of the pit, and Spinies walk along them.

On the other side of the pit, the group can discover a honey wall with a Zinger at the bottom of it. Once they reach the top of the wall, they encounter a Krook, who stands in front of a barrel. A large structure that can be reached with a hook is hidden above this foe, and it is covered in bananas. If they do not head along this structure, they must instead travel across a pile of honey with a Spiny walking along it. Two Zingers also hover over this honey. There is another pit ahead of here with a small section of honey just before it. A pair of hooks above this pit must be used to cross. As they use the hooks, the Kongs must watch for a Zinger that hovers under them. After they manage to cross, they come up to a [[No Animal Sign]]. If they reach this sign with Squitter, they are given a red [[Extra Life Balloon]]. A honey wall is near here, and if the primates climb it, they can find a ledge with the level's [[End of Level Target]] on it. The level is complete when this target is hit.

*'''[[DK Coin|Cranky's Video Game Hero Coin]]:''' Halfway through the level, just before the letter N and Krook, there is a Zinger blocking a gap. If the Kongs have Squitter with them, they can utilize his web projectile to defeat the enemy and then drop down into the small chamber. Down below, there are another two Zingers blocking the path to a room. Squitter must also shoot webs at them. The room consists of numerous [[banana]]s and the Video Game Hero Coin floating hovering at the top, which can only be reached by using Squitter's web platforms. | |||
*'''[[Golden feather]] (Game Boy Advance version only):''' At the second DK Barrel, the Kongs can jump off the ledge to the right to reach a lone Banana in midair. The lone banana represents the location of an invisible hook. From there, the Kongs must hop between a couple of more hooks to the right until reaching a hook with the golden feather floating beneath it. Alternatively, they can use Squitter's web platforms to go all the way to the right. | |||
*'''[[Photograph]] (Game Boy Advance version only):''' After the primates pass the second DK Barrel in the level, they come up to a group of Spinies, one of which who sports a camera icon above its head. By defeating this foe, the Kongs are rewarded with a photograph of Spiny in the seventh page of the [[Scrapbook (Donkey Kong Country series)|Scrapbook]]. | |||

==Bonus Levels== | |||
[[File:Hornet Hole SNES 2.png|thumb|The first Bonus Level]] | |||
Hornet Hole has three Bonus Levels, listed by their type: | |||
| | |||
*'''''Find the Token!''''': At the start of the level, a hook can be found above the Kongs, which they can reach with their [[team up]] move. There are some walls splattered with honey above this hook, and the primates can use the honey to climb to the top of the area, where there is a trio of hooks with some collectibles under them. The hooks can be used to reach a ledge with an entryway ahead of it. The entryway leads to a Bonus Level, where they must release a [[Kremkoin]] from a [[Treasure Chest]] within the time limit of 25 seconds. To break open the treasure chest, the heroes must throw it at the eight Zingers scattered throughout the area. When they defeat the final Zinger with the chest, the Kremkoin falls out of the chest. | |||
*'''''Find the Token!''''': The Kongs must drop down from the ledge with the entrance to the first Bonus Level to land on another ledge with the entrance to the second Bonus Level. In the Bonus Level, the Kongs have 10 seconds to climb up a set of two long honey walls in order to reach a Kremkoin at the top. | |||
*'''''Find the Token!''''': After passing the letter N, the Kongs must continue upward until they encounter two Spinies. They can see a few sets of two Bananas floating above them, which represent the Kongs having to utilize Squitter's web platforms to head up northeast to find a corner with a Zinger, who is guarding the entryway to the Bonus Level. After defeating the Zinger, the Kongs and Squitter can enter into the Bonus Level. The objective is for them to utilize Squitter's webs to reach the Kremkoin at the top of a tall, thin area within 15 seconds. In the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake, the Kongs are not required to have Squitter, because the two walls are coated in honey for them to jump from. | |||
