** Web Woods. [[GratuitousGerman Mein Gott]], Web Woods. It's one of the longest levels in the game, possibly longer than the infamous Bramble Scramble; you have to play 90% of it as Squitter the Spider, a character that gets hurt if he jumps on ''any'' enemy, and traverse extremely long [[BottomlessPit bottomless pits]] using Squitter's quickly-vanishing spider webs while avoiding tough enemies like Mini-Neckies and Kannons. You also have to leave two specific Kannons alive and use their projectiles to break open the door to a ''diabolically'' hidden bonus room ''and'' get a prize from the end roulette... one of which is the DK Hero Coin. Meaning that if you miss it, the level is beat and you have to go through the whole thing again for another shot.

It's especially noticeable in the stage Red Hot Ride, which has slowly descending hot-air balloon platforms. Of course, no one's complaining from a gameplay standpoint, as it makes this already NintendoHard game somewhat easier, but it still looks weird.
