For the past two weeks I've been going through Tropical Freeze's Hard Mode, trying to go for that 200%. I've managed to clear Mangrove Cove and Autumn Heights. I've decided to log my experiences, level. I hope you enjoy fustration and salt- there will be plenty!

3-1 Grassland Groove
Kong: DK
Deaths: 28
Welp, starting off with a huge number of deaths. My deaths were mostly the cause of those damn flying chickens, and since I had no Dixie, there was a lot more room for platforming mistakes.

3-2 Baobab Bonanza
Kong: Dixie
Deaths: 18
Impatience was the influence of salt here by far. I will never get used to the baobab's(which I'm assuming are the spiked fruit) oblong shape. You really need to keep on your toes near those baobabs, once using Dixie's hair twirl, the beginning which lowers her a little made me hit one. The last part with the large baobab, I dashed through though.

3-3 Frantic Fields
Kong: Diddy
Deaths: 15
Dixie may be best Kong, but Diddy did help at crucial moments. Towards the end, in the twister, I walked carefully through. As for the beginning....screw those flaming hedgehogs.

3-4 Scorch 'n Torch
Kong: Dixie
Deaths: 23
Fire, fire, everywhere, fire, fire, in your hair. This level was pretty fun to speedrun with Dixie. Then again, that was the cause of having fireballs fall on me.

3-5 Twilight Terror
Kong: Donkey Kong
Deaths: 1
I kid you not. I had more of a difficult time on Rodent Ruckus that this, surprisingly. My only error was in a corridor where a checkpoint would be.

3-6 Canon Canyon
Kong: Dixie
Deaths: 13
Being in a barrel canon pointed straight at death, having to wait and time it to launch to a new barrel is frustrating as all heck. Ran into some bombs early on, the camera being zoomed in threw me off. And speaking of the camera, the depth perception at the final area is confuzzling to my eyes

3-A Rickety Rafters
Kong: Diddy
Deaths: 7
Can I say that all my deaths were mistimed jumps? Easy level, and fun as well too.

3-B Bramble Scramble
Kong: Cranky
Deaths: 16
Yay, Cranky's here! Now, with the plethora of spikes, I had to use him. Man, is he good for speedrunning. Unfortunately, that also led to some deaths.

3-K Precarious Pendulums
Kong: Dixie
Deaths: 16
Not as enraging as Bopopolis, but still a challenge. Those moving electric things just wouldn't have enough. Even though Dixie made a lot of things easier, the ending was so rewarding.

3-Boss Triple Trouble
Kong: Donkey Kong
Deaths: 18
MY GOD....those first phases were okay, but later on, those damn baboons gave me a hell of a time, swinging apes*** everywhere. At this rate, Fugu will be easier.
