What I love about the The rocket barrel and Minecart levels is that sometimes there will be so much on the screen but most of it is harmless. When you first play the level though you don’t know what will hurt you or what won’t. For example the bat in Crowded cavern can’t hurt you sometimes or in sawmill thrill the giant saw that chases you can’t do anything to you, they are just distractions but you don’t know that the first time you play the stage
Also, there is an Easter egg in this level. Right after the checkpoint, that bat that chases you The entire level in returns is frozen in that giant chunk of ice
To those of you who say anything about this game being way too generous with lives, just play this level. Pretty soon, you'll start to think that they weren't generous enough. Like, I started this level with 44 lives, I beat it with 12 remaining.
Am I the only who doesn't HATE the rocket barrel levels?? They're so much fun and the music always cracks me up! Yeah, the puzzle pieces and letters are a pain, but once I've got those I'm always happy to jump back into the levels just for fun.
Even without the puzzle pieces and letters, this Rocket Barrel level is still an absolute PAIN. If I wanted to listen to the music, I'd go to RUclips. Nothing about this level is fun apart from maybe the Easter Egg with the giant bat.
Yeah! Got all the puzzle pieces & kong letters after 15 or so tries! There's quite a learning curve to the rocket barrel but once you get it down pat it gives you a HUGE sense of accomplishment! Awesome level!
No it really fucking doesn't. I got to this one and the past the others. And not on Funky Kong mode. I don't feel accomplished. I feel like the game is trying to make people rage at it. The rocket controls suck and you have to maneuver damn near perfectly with very little check points.
@@randomfools808 this level’s not bad at all if you’re not trying to go for puzzle pieces. I just revisited it and I made it through it like two tries. Granted, I’ve played the game before but despite the rocket controls, it’s not unbearable. Some of the puzzle pieces here are straight-up evil though
A few things a wanna point out from DKCR, the railroad tracks in the background were from the mole train in level 4-4 mole patrol and a train similar to the mole train would chase you around but since you destroyed it its no longer in use. Of course the bat is from 4-5 crowded cavern were a family off bats would try and take you out, and the big one would be on your tail ( no pun intended ) and at the end of the level fire lasers at you, but I suppose something happened and he/she froze. And the last detail is if you listen carefully when the snowballs drop, it makes the crystal falling/ breaking from 4-1 ( rickety rails ) 4-3 ( bombs away ) and 4-4 ( mole patrol ), its quite hard to hear so listen carefully when a snowball drops! And of course the mole huts in the background occasionally from almost all the cave levels.

Finaly i got that damn puzzle piece at 2:44 after like 10000000000000000 tries. To all whos having trouble with this, i say dont give up ! :P this is nothing compared to the temple levels :P
I remember playing this game back when I was 10 years old and it was REALLY hard to get the puzzle pieces. But looking back at this now looks really cool.
The K levels are definitely harder, but the puzzle pieces here are more annoying. I have fun playing the K levels, but having to kill myself over and over to get the banana chain was seriously annoying.
I've only been watching videos here and there. I only am to world 3-2. But here's what I have to say about amount of rocket barrel levels 1 = Enough 2 = Too Much (one was enough) 3 = No More, if the game makers care about their health 4 = Never Again should there be a game with any rocket barrel levels 5 = F!ck you! To the game makers 6 = sodamastic wishes/things to the game makers
There have been some pretty hard moments in this game but overall felt it was a fairly balanced challenge until I hit this level and I started dying over and over again using up all my lives.
For the longest time I didn’t know you could push up or down to sharply angle the blast barrel. Was completely essential for that puzzle piece you get from collecting all bananas and coins between snowballs shown here 2:33 Hope this comment helps someone else!
This is the worst level in this game easily. The rocket barrel sucks on its own but getting the puzzle pieces that requires hard to hit banana chains is just stupid. Hopefully they never use the rocket barrel again.
Puzzle Piece 6 wouldn’t even be that bad if they put it next to a checkpoint instead of 80% the way through the longest autoscroller checkpoint know to man
Fuck this level. Stupid controls on that rocket. It looks a lot easier than it is to drive it. If you do not tap B perfectly you are fucked. And there's no hearts if you get near the end so if you make a mistake, start all over. They made this game frustratingly difficult with these levels when it should be fun.
I found this level super easy actually lol even the puzzle pieces Edit: except the second to last one where the snow balls are falling, that one can go to hell 😂
I just completed this after one good run with three shields (my first try with 5 hits instead of 2). I don't feel this sense of accomplishment that some gamers brag about. I feel very annoyed that the developers knowingly made it that difficult and relief that I never have to visit this level again and can probably finish the game. If that's fun to people....yeah fuck that. I was definitely getting angry and if it gets to that point, I'll go play something else. The rocket controls are awful. And fuck, that first narrow hallway after the first checkpoint is hell if you keep being brought back there after dying. It requires perfect control to drop down and go straight.
there's a special hell for the creator of this level
The level is awesome, you can't deny it
The Ender Golem Sorry for previous comment. Stage put me in bad mood.
@@enderallygolem It fucking sucks and they know how hard it is with the controls of that rocket.
Same thing with me I can't get puzzle piece 6 so I skipped it
Tania Clews I know that one's such a pain! I eventually got it though.
Hands down the hardest puzzle pieces in the entire game.
The most difficult puzzle pieces of the whole game. The one with the flying snow balls is hell.
The bat is from the previous donkey Kong game, the bat chased you the whole entire level
he deserved it
Joshua Giboney DK accidentally woke him and his pals up
The Penguin Who Wields A Giant Hammer ikr? It’s fun to see that Squeakly got frozen
I thought that was a pick 🐷
That fat fuck deserved it, annoying af
God, I love the callbacks in the final world! Well, semi final. I always loved the rocketbarrel and its music, and seeing the bat again was awesome.
That bat seems to be ok with being frozen in a block of ice xD
QuesoGr7 Yeah seeing Mega Squeakly again was an awesome Easter egg

Level: Not too hard Puzzle Pieces: NEVER AGAIN
FUCK THOSE PUZZLE PIECES!!!!!!!!!
It took me FOREVER to get all the puzzle pieces in this level.
Even the level was a pain, the second part at least.
Okay. The snowbal was pretty cool.
This level intensity, the rocket barrel music, the snowball at the ending,
This Level Is GENIUS!!!
It's also pretty hard.
Also, there is an Easter egg in this level. Right after the checkpoint, that bat that chases you The entire level in returns is frozen in that giant chunk of ice
It would've been more genius if it wasn't so frustrating.

makes me feel good when I load up a vid to see that everyone else is here for the same ridiculous sequence
There's a sense of emergency in this level (and its music) that's not present in, say, Reckless Ride.

no, the rocket barrel levels are great because of the gameplay and music

The snow ball section really surprised me so much that I died the first time.
You are seriously skilled took me almost 30 tries to complete with squawks and the crash shield.

Yeah, is true
People are complaining about the puzzle pieces in this level. You haven’t experienced hell until you’ve tried this level in Hard Mode
Agree, but not worse than 2-K, 5-K and Fugu-face off .

Call me crazy, but I actually really like this level. A couple of puzzle pieces are a real pain in the ass, though.
Finaly i got that damn puzzle piece at 2:44 after like 10000000000000000 tries.
To all whos having trouble with this, i say dont give up ! :P this is nothing compared to the temple levels :P
passskkkaaa still trying..!
It’s the only one of the game I can’t get! If you fail it takes forever to get there - just to die again.
I even prefer the temple levels 🙈🙈🙈
I beat all the temple levels and Secret Seclusion, but I still can't get that puzzle piece. So I beg to differ.
Hardest level in the game...
This has taken me about three hours to complete NEVER WILL I DO THIS LEVEL AGAIN
the level per se it's not that hard, it's the puzzle pieces that are insane...
@@andreabnm89 No. It is hard. What are you talking about??
Bruh, I complete the level in my first attempt ._.
It’s a hard level
It took me 2 days!
I love it when you see Squeakly (the bat) in the background looking at you in the ice cube

@@Mentaleo it looks like a mixture between a pig and a bat
1:51 the bat from crowded cavern
I remember playing this game back when I was 10 years old and it was REALLY hard to get the puzzle pieces. But looking back at this now looks really cool.
It was annoying at first, but playing through it enough times, its truly a super fun level. And who can deny the music being top tier
Before buying this game i was expecting a chill and fun platform game... oh boy I was wrong.
Did you like it tho?
Getting all the puzzle pieces was an absolute nightmare. Oddly enough, the 6-3 was an absolute breeze even in hard mode.
You sir, are some kind of God.
1:52 Hmmm there is something familiar about the creature. Oh wait I remember now😒😒😒
Spent about an hour on the second to last puzzle piece, and a lot of my deaths were just trying to grab it after completing the task. Fuck this level.
The K levels are definitely harder, but the puzzle pieces here are more annoying. I have fun playing the K levels, but having to kill myself over and over to get the banana chain was seriously annoying.
The one in between the flying snow balls is hell! And if you fail it takes forever to get there again - just to die again.
1:51 CAN'T CHASE AFTER ME NOW YOU BAT SHIT
This level blew out half my brain, i cant... i just dont want to do this shit anymore
So this is how my grandpa swore he got to school?
I can NOT get that puzzle piece with the snow balls. Have them all but that one :(
So 4 'collect all the item' puzzle pieces? Its hard enough to get one in the stupid barrel plane
I've only been watching videos here and there. I only am to world 3-2.
But here's what I have to say about amount of rocket barrel levels
1 = Enough
2 = Too Much (one was enough)
3 = No More, if the game makers care about their health
4 = Never Again should there be a game with any rocket barrel levels
5 = F!ck you! To the game makers
6 = sodamastic wishes/things to the game makers
1:51 oh, hello!
*O tempo passou, e o morcegão congelou*
This literally took me 65+ tried on normal mode.... It's so god DM hard.
There have been some pretty hard moments in this game but overall felt it was a fairly balanced challenge until I hit this level and I started dying over and over again using up all my lives.
This might be my least favorite level in the game so far. I HATE that goddamn rocket barrel.
omg me too. still trying to get through it. i had to go to a different game before i broke the disc. uuuugggghhhhh
Just because it is hard doesn't mean it is bad
Just because he says he hates it doesn't mean he says its bad.
I don't hate the rocket barrel, I hate the godforsaken snowballs and shapeshiffting ice.
I think everyone hates the rocket barrel
1:51 it’s that bat from crowded cavern
Completing this on hard mode was more than hell
*unimaginative level design*
Snow ball puzzle piece. Hardest in the game ( so far )
For the longest time I didn’t know you could push up or down to sharply angle the blast barrel. Was completely essential for that puzzle piece you get from collecting all bananas and coins between snowballs shown here 2:33
Hope this comment helps someone else!
You have no idea what you are talking about.. That literally doesn’t do anything. Holding in a or b is the only way you can manipulate the angle.
Hardest level in the game
The bats like this is much harder than the one i put you through right???
2:33. Worst puzzle piece in the entire fucking game.

This is the worst level in this game easily. The rocket barrel sucks on its own but getting the puzzle pieces that requires hard to hit banana chains is just stupid. Hopefully they never use the rocket barrel again.
I hate it too..
The rocket barrel controls in Tropical Freeze somehow feel worse than Returns.
Because Returns is a better game
Oh grate.......not another barrel rocket level!!
GREAT

A lot of people say Rocket barrel sucks cause of the controls. I have yet to have a problem with the controls (or the level intensity)
These rocket barrel levels are the best
Sometimes i think the level designers are just trolling us
I got a puzzle piece, missed it and then died😢. This is hell
This reminds me of hot rocket from returns
So am I the only ones who find rocket barrel levels fun
Yes :D
Yep.
Nah
Yeah
Crash Shield is garbage. What reason is there to make it one use only meanwhile there is a power-up which grants you additional health?
The other one doesn't work with vehicles
This. They didn't do that with the other health power ups so it's useless.
There are barely any hearts in rocket barrel and minecart levels anyways. You're not going to be refilling that.
I found this level super easy actually lol even the puzzle pieces
Edit: except the second to last one where the snow balls are falling, that one can go to hell 😂

I feel like that suits this level’s tone much better.

The only reason i can beat this level is because i used to play flappy bird
Flappy Bird this is not. This level if you try to get all the puzzle pieces is not for average gamer
