Treasure hunt - a riddle and a big prize for the winning treasure hunter

General
1

Twixt the rows upon rows
A treasure hunt goes
TWEEN the paths and the shops
Be careful of the drops

At yon mall of DK
BURIED treasure doth lay
So gather your wits and your grit
Today is your day! This is it!

Accessible from TNT, the portal is Tana
And from Gmall and Nmall, the urbana
You can come from DK Tree Eresho
And learn that nothing rhymes very well with Eresho.

Many things there do STAND
But only ONE IN FIFTY has a clue at hand
Dare you attempt this riddle
Beware: the challenges are not so little

Go SWINGING for loot
From your diaper, a toot
Neither starberry nor apple
Always keep handy your GRAPPLE

Search the mall from BELOW
It’s buried treasure, y’know
It’s hidden BY THE ROADS
So start hopping, ye toads

A valiant seeker finds a TOKEN
On the forums a secret code shall be spoken
That searcher goes to the LOCATION so fair
And names the shop which is found there

Find the prize but want to save it for another?
I thank you muchly my generous brother (or sister, or other)
Just send me the code by Ye Olde Private Message
And I will take note of your Addressage

O, the prize is worthy of a great adventurer: you
But many others seek this treasure too
A hundred thousand coins is the rate
So don’t be idle, don’t be late

I was going to post this weekend but… yknow. I was getting nervous someone would see the build before I posted or I would have waited until next weekend.

Have fun everybody!

I’m fairly certain the answer was helicopter and @DKPuncherello is just ignoring me because I got it so fast.

I’ll add some clues if nobody else finds it for a bit.

It is definitely solvable though, baby found it :blush:

The secret code was 5XGL-DF7T-H6LJ-ETY2 and the location indicated was @SWShredder’s “Purple Serenade”, a nice new shop in the mall.
