+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>KynanPearson (August 12, 2021).

+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:
-The area where [[Donkey Kong's Treehouse]] 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'' has an extreme resemblance to Kongo Jungle.

There is also a vast jungle in the backround of the arena and a [[Barrel Cannon]] underneath the arena.
+===''Donkey Kong Country'' television series===
+Kongo Jungle reappears as the Kongs' residence for the [[Donkey Kong Country (television series)|''Donkey Kong Country'' television series]].
-In ''Super Smash Bros.'' sequel ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' another Kongo Jungle stage was introduced. This Kongo Jungle stage is constucted out of logs strewn together which are sitting on rocks jutting out of a waterfall. In the backround of this stage is a vast jungle along with what appears to be [[Donkey Kong's Treehouse]]. Also in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' is the old version of Kongo Jungle (now correctly spelt) from the previous ''Super Smash Bros.'' game. The old version of Kongo Jungle can be unlocked by beating Fifteen-Minute Melee.

+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''.
-==Trivia==
+A recreation of the original Kongo Jungle world map appears in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''{{'}}s Adventure mode, World of Light, where it is named "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.

-* The name Kongo Jungle is a play on words on the [[Wikipedia: Congo River|Congo Jungle]] in [[Wikipedia: Africa|Africa]], using a 'K' instead of a 'C' to imply that it is the home of the Kongs.
