In this installment, there is more Castle Threading. Chain Link Chamber and Toxic Tower. This time, the Bonus Stage Entries will reflect the Kong's current Status. What this means is custom-made PNG's have been applied for... more entertainment!
Please feel free to leave a comment and/rating + thanks for watching.

Chain Link Chamber
Living up to it's name, Chain Link Chamber has you climbing what must have been miles worth of chains hanging from the ceiling(s). In some sections you will find the chains cross-linked allowing you to move side-to-side as you go up. The alarming number of Zingers in this level makes you think about where you will move. Well if it doesn't get crazy...
Something weird happened causing a Klobber to bump Dixie while it slides creepily to the right... then Zingers out of nowhere to force a Kong Switch. But not loosing much ground I get back up and find the DK Coin hidden next to the letter "N". This one was really ambiguous despite the one banana being there.
Diddy takes Cranky's advice from there, Dixie returns and everybody comes out a few 1-Ups richer. Hey not bad.
Bonus Stage 1: Well that wasn't too hard. A banana bunch is extra if you want it.
BSt2: Dxie's missing! But you know, it's nice to spin these barrels at your leisure, rather than the "Force your timing" ZSNES had to offer...

Toxic Tower
Heh, there always has to be a certain stage everybody hates.This one it filled with Biohazardous liquids. Think of it as green lava with no way to reverse it's effects. This liquid also rises at a steady pace as you advance. Of course, because you are heading straight up the tower you will need some help. So changing into Rattly, then Squakws and THEN Squitter before reverting gives them their own roles to play escaping the goop. Being a tough stage, there's a lot of hidden stuff in here! Most of the things I grabbed in this video are pick n' choose because if the acid gets you and you need to Super jump with Rattly, it's over.
Rattly gathers a crazy number of Banana bunches I never knew about before as well as many Banana Coins. He also scrounges the DK Coin, the Letter "K" and "O". Squawks egg-shots a ton of baddies plus gets some more hidden goodies all while taking the Letters "N" and "G". Squiter's only job is to handle the Bonus Stage guarded by the Zinger, revealed by a banana. And holy crap, there is a Green Balloon under the level target barrel.
Bonus Stage: Holy crap Squitter got a Bonus Screen!! Anyway, ANOTHER bramble-themed Bonus Stage. I once again prove that the ceiling of thorns is worthless.
Stronghold Showdown
By the name, you would expect to be fighting, but nope. As a Kremcoin drops on you, the tied-up DK rolls up as it's just a set-up. K.Rool uses the chance to escape on The Flying Krock. You normally chase after him with the eerie music, but I have to pay funky and then save as we are near the limit here.
Also, from this point on, this stage serves as a free method to travel to other worlds.... which would have been smart if I'd realized I wouldn't have needed Funky's Plane... oh well.

Hmm... the next stage might get it's own video to make room for what's to come. Undecided. Also, to answer some processing questions, here's some screen shots of the video before rendering.
This is the clip I added with Dixie Alone after some thought.

Here's a look at the Chroma Keying used on all the overlays (especially the Bonus Stage Images). This is perfected by using a colour in the PNG's background that IS NOT related to the rest of the picture. That target colour makes the Chorma Keying very accurate.

Where do you get these sounds from?

@OmegamanThe: The in-game SFX? I recorded them myself via emulation and sound channel disabling. Unfortunately, I'd probably have to do that all over again since I messed up a large number of them.

The name of the stage will have a '!' mark if you have found all the Bonus Barrels. You will also find the 'DK' symbol on it's left if you have found the DK coin.
You can check if you got everything in a world by going to the World Map and checking the domain's name for these symbols.
