10 Video Game Solutions You'd NEVER Get Without A Guide

10. The Inception Bonus Level - Donkey Kong Country

Completionists of the 1990s searched everywhere in Donkey Kong Country to discover all 43 bonus areas. By the end, nearly everyone got stuck on the same level; Oil Drum Alley. The first two bonus areas in this level are relatively easy to find but the third one eluded even the most hardcore players. So where the heck is it?

The reason why it's so difficult to ascertain is because it's the only bonus level in the game that's inside ANOTHER bonus level. After you use the first TNT barrel to blow up a nearby wall, you'll be transported to a secret area where you need to match up the images on the barrels to win a prize.

Although you can win Animal Tokens, Banana Bunches, and Extra Lives, you need to match the barrels so they display an image of a single banana. If you do this, you will be rewarded with a barrel. You need to use the barrel on the right wall to unlock the extra bonus level.

Just to make it extra tough, you cannot throw the barrel at the wall. You need to jump at the wall with the barrel and press right to enter this secret location.
