DKC2 Need Help:Toxic Tower

[Robert Kubat]

Any passages or secret ways to get by the level?? I am at a road block
with this one! Every jump has to be perfect to get through this one and
just about evertime where the guy shots barrals at you I go down! Or
before becuase the jumps are not perfect! I cant imagine accually being
able to be perfect on this level all the way through! I may give up here!
Any help or tips would be great! How bout a warp!!!! That would be great!

I haven't found any warps here, but I did get through it, after much
practice. Are you doing POWER JUMPS as the snake? If you press and hold
down button A, the snake will bob up and down and make a funny noise, and
when you let go and jump, he'll spring up much higher. You can't make it
through this level without using power jumps. One tip is to move as fast
as you can throughout this level, and the best way of doing that is to
hop on enemies without pausing between, when there's more than one coming
at you. To bounce off the bees, you sort of have to land on the side of
the bee in the direction you're going -- e.g., if you're going right, try
to land on the right side of the bee you'll be jumping off. The guy
shooting barrels isn't too difficult, once you know you can land on the
barrels he shoots and no harm will come to you. Or you can avoid the
first barrel and then try to land directly on his head to knock him out
of the way. Past that point, you'll need to do quite a few power jumps,
and here's another tip: There's a barrel that will shoot you up higher
and get you a good lead on the rising toxic water. You'll find it above
and to the right of the barrel thrower, down a shaft guarded by a bee.
I've found that the best way to get through this level is to first
acquaint yourself with what's ahead and then move as quickly as you can
-- pausing too long can be a killer! Hope this helps.

I posted a response to a question just like yours from about a week ago...
if you go to http://www.altavista.digital.com/ and search for

+dkc2 +toxic

(the +'s make the search an AND search), you should be able to find it.

€The KEY is that when you jump off the Bee's... don't TIME your jump, but
instead, HOLD DOWN the jump button... you'll jump off each bee perfectly.

€When you do a super jump with the A button... you only have to bounce 4
times for the superjump to be activated.

€Once you get past the snake portion, it's much easier with squawks.

I really like that level. The concept of a slime coming relentlessly after
you is kinda neat.

(Actually the idea of those soul-stealing red klubbas have a nifty
philosophical bent too--I mean, they shouldn't be able to cross the line
and take lives you aren't even using! Sheesh!)
