The Kongs can then jump on it to defeat it. The pier also has a DK Barrel on it on the other side, since there is a gap in between it. After breaking the Barrel, the Kongs find the pier broken with a Barrel Cannon. The apes must get in the Barrel Cannon and fire themselves to a part of the broken pier, then get in another Barrel Cannon, which aims at the Rocket Barrel floating in the air, and fire themselves there. Once the heroes are in it, they must activate it to ride it and and navigate throughout the rest of level over the vast ocean. At the beginning, there is an Extra Life Balloon and many Bananas and Banana Bunches scattered throughout the air that can be picked up. After taking a chain of Bananas, the letter K of the K-O-N-G Letters is found and another set of Bananas follow. The apes must be careful not to come too close to the ocean water, for not only will they die, but a hungry Snaggles swims near them and eventually jumps up and tries to bite the Rocket Barrel and destroy it. Following the third chain of Bananas and Banana Bunches, the primates find the letter O at the way end of it, while the Snaggles jumps again and tries to bite the Rocket Barrel as the Kongs collect the letter. After this, the Snaggle ends its pursuit and the Kongs can collect some Bananas and a Banana Coin. The ride continues passing next to a pirate ship led by two members of the Scurvy Crew. The members see the Kongs and chase them to attack. Over a small island, the Tutorial Pig holds the level's only checkpoint, so that the apes can keep going just starting at that spot (if they die, of course). In the second part of the level, the Scurvy Crew's ship is the main obstacle that the heroes must face in order to complete the level. During the chase, the ship nears the Kongs and the Scurvy Crew shoots a few bombs into the air, in hopes of the Kongs running into a bomb explosion and destroying the Rocket Barrel (when a bomb is fired, it explodes leaving the blasts remaining, which destroys the Rocket Barrel if they come in contact with it. The first bomb fired explodes in the middle of the scene; the apes just have to avoid it. The second bomb fired explodes at a greater height, while the third bomb explodes at a lower height. Just in that moment, the cannons begin to shoot more bombs: one at a greater height, and the other at a lower height. After this, the cannon shoots two more bombs that explode at the same time, one in the upper part and one in the lower part. To avoid this, the Kongs must go in the middle (go between them). The ship then stops attacking to swerve around a series of rocks over the water. Now the apes can have some time to collect a chain of Bananas and Banana Bunches, as well as picking up the letter N before the ship nears them again. The ship nears the Kongs after this, and shoots more bombs as well. The ship first fires a row of bombs in the upper part of the screen, then a row of bombs in the lower part of the screen. Then, the ship fires three bombs in the upper part and two bombs at the lower part (the Kongs must go in the middle to dodge this). Annoyed and frustrated the Scurvy Crew tries to defeat the Kongs with the last blow using the biggest cannon of the vessel. The Kongs must now avoid to be the target of the cannon, as it aims first with a cursor that appears to be in the screen. The cannon then shoots the ship's anchor to the targeted zone. If the primates avoid the attack successfully, the ship keeps going forward, but the crew doesn't realize they dropped the ship's anchor, which is connected to the ship by a cable. The pirate ship is then brought to a halt, and according to the next level, crashes into a pier. The apes now can take the last set of Bananas and Banana Bunches, as well as the letter G at the end of the trail before arriving at to their destiny. The rocket then stops working and falls in another part of the beach, ending the ride with the Slot Machine Barrel and Auto-Fire Barrel, which is under the ground and can only be reached if the apes pound the ground above it, right after it crashes. Hitting the Slot Machine Barrel ends and completes the level.
