The '''Kongo Jungle''' is a vast jungle found on [[Donkey Kong Island]], at the foot of [[Monkey Mines]]. First appearing in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', Kongo Jungle is the place where [[DK's Tree House]] and the [[Banana Hoard]] is found; a distinction shared with the similar [[Jungle (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Jungle]] world in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'', which has been suggested to be the same location.<ref>{{cite|author=KynanPearson|date=August 12, 2021|url=x.com/KynanPearson/status/1425940659152769030|title=X post by Kynan Pearson|archive=web.archive.org/web/20210812220225/https://twitter.com/KynanPearson/status/1425940659152769030|publisher=X|accessdate=January 30, 2022}}</ref> It is named from both "[[Kong]]" and the {{wp|Congo}}, a section of Africa known for its dense rainforests (including natural ranges of wild gorillas) and currently made up of two similarly named countries (the {{wp|Democratic Republic of the Congo}} and the {{wp|Republic of the Congo}}), the {{wp|Congo River}} forming their border, and their outlying regions. | |||

In ''Donkey Kong Country'', Kongo Jungle is the first world. Most of the area is engulfed in a jungle, but there is a long cavern about midway through. The cavern's exit leads to the second half of Kongo Jungle, which itself directly leads to a large lake. The original [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] release shows two halves of Kongo Jungle in separate screens. The levels are as follows: | |||

In the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]], Kongo Jungle (spelled "Congo Jungle" in the original ''Super Smash Bros.'') appears as one of the arenas in ''[[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 ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', in addition to the previous Kongo Jungle returning, another Kongo Jungle stage (later renamed "Kongo Falls" in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'') 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]]. Kongo Jungle in ''Super Smash Bros.'' later returns in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', while both versions reappear in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''. | |||
Exclusively in World of Light of ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' is a recreation of the original Kongo Jungle, where it is named [[smashwiki:DK Island (World of Light)|DK Island]]. It can be visited via a portal on the east side of the world map. In DK Island, ''[[Donkey Kong (franchise)|Donkey Kong]]''-series [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirits]] appear in the locations the levels were originally (with the exception of [[Barrel Cannon Canyon]]; [[Jungle Hijinxs (Donkey Kong Country)|Jungle Hijinxs]] serves as the area's starting point), in the following order: [[Kritter]] ([[Ropey Rampage]]), [[Cranky Kong]] ([[Cranky's Cabin]]), [[Zinger]] ([[Reptile Rumble]]), [[Enguarde the Swordfish|Enguarde]] ([[Coral Capers]]), [[Funky Kong]] ([[Funky's Flights]]), [[Candy Kong]] ([[Candy's Save Point]]), and [[Diddy Kong]] ([[Very Gnawty's Lair]]). Defeating Funky Kong's puppet fighter unlocks Funky Kong's Shack, one of the shops in Spirits mode. | |||
