The '''Kongo Jungle''' is a vast jungle covering a large area of [[Donkey Kong Island]], located at the foot of the [[Monkey Mountains & Chimpanzee Clouds|Monkey Mountains]]. It is generally depicted as the place where the [[Kong]]s reside.

==History==

===''Donkey Kong'' series===

[[File:KongoJungle.png|thumb|left|The first half of '''Kongo Jungle'''.]]

It is the first area in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' and is where [[Donkey Kong]]'s house is located, as well as his precious [[Banana Hoard]], which is often stolen by the [[Kremlings]]. The area is quite pleasant, possessing a vast amount of jungle and some rocky terrain. A large lake is also located in the area. The boss of Kongo Jungle is a giant [[Gnawty]] aptly named [[Very Gnawty]].

The area where [[DK's Tree House]] is located in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' could possibly be either Kongo Jungle or a portion of it. Also, the area [[Jungle Japes]] in ''Donkey Kong 64'' bears an extreme resemblance to Kongo Jungle.

The first area in the Kongo Jungle is a simple jungle level, featuring [[Kritters]], [[Necky|Neckies]], Gnawties, [[Klaptrap]]s, and [[Klump]]s. [[Rambi the Rhino]] makes his first appearance in this level, and he can help the Kongs reach a [[Bonus Area]]. At the beginning of the level, Donkey Kong and [[Diddy Kong]] can view the prized Banana Hoard.

 

This level is filled with ropes, and the Kongs must use them to travel across bottomless pits. Some [[K-O-N-G Letters]] can be found by falling off of ropes into secret barrels. The main enemies here are [[Zinger]] and [[Army|Armies]], in their first appearances, but [[Kritter]]s and [[Klaptrap]]s also appear as well.

The first ever cave level is filled with a rare snake enemies called [[Slippa]]s. They inhabit the cave, trying to hit the Kongs. Tires also appear here for the first time. Other than Slippas, enemies include [[Klaptrap]]s, a few [[Zinger]]s, and [[Kritter]]s.

 

In the first underwater level of the game, two [[Enguarde the Swordfish]]es appear to help out the Kongs. No Bonus Areas can be found in this level. Enemies here include [[Bitesize]]s, [[Chomp]]s, [[Chomps Jr.]], [[Croctopus|Croctopi]], and [[Clambo]]s, all making their first appearance.

 

This level takes place high up in the trees, and, hence the name, the Kongs will need to use many [[Barrel Cannon]]s to advance. Four different types of [[Kritter]]s appear here, red, purple, green, and blue. Other enemies include Armies and yellow and red Zingers.

Kongo Jungle (incorrectly spelled Congo Jungle) appears as one of the arenas in the game ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' The Kongo Jungle stage is made out of a large wooden platform with several smaller, sometimes floating ones around it. There is also a vast jungle in the background of the arena and a [[Barrel Cannon]] underneath the arena. In the ''Super Smash Bros.'' sequel, ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', another Kongo Jungle stage was introduced. This Kongo Jungle stage is constructed out of logs strewn together, which are sitting on rocks jutting out of a waterfall. In the background of this stage is a vast jungle along with what appears to be [[DK's Tree House]]. The original Kongo Jungle stage from the previous game also returns.
