Lift-Off Launch is a short and vertical Rocket Barrel level, featuring tiki airships which must be avoided. In Music Madness, the Kongs must avoid being squished by giant hammers following a musical timing, while also using bouncing platforms beaten by the same hammers to reach good heights. There are also chains to climb on and tires to bounce on. Inside the level Switcheroo, the heroes will have to hit blue and red switches to cause platforms of those colors to move in and out from the background, respectively, opening the path forward or revealing terrain to step on. In Cog Jog, the primates will progress mostly by blasting from Barrel Cannons while avoiding round cog-like platforms and falling off moving girders. The Kongs must fly through a path full of moving gears and platforms and avoid colisions with them. Gear Getaway is the fourth Rocket Barrel level in both games. In the level Handy Hazards, the heroes will be jumping on hand-like platforms, with a few moving in different directions and, sometimes, carrying blocks. In Slammin' Steel, there are many conveyer belts and smashers, which the primates must avoid to be crushed by them by staying out of the way. The primates may also have to blow away some fog, in order to see where they're going and reveal collectables. The level Foggy Fumes is a foggy-like factory, where smog often blocks the player's perception of tridimensional assets. The Kongs must avoid hazards created by mechanical devices, and also make use of them in order to progress. Most of the levels are located inside the factory, featuring heavy machinery and robots. This world takes place on an industrialized area.
