A Crest is a collectible item in Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat. Donkey Kong will get some crests at the end of each Kingdom. The number of crests he gets depends on how many Bananas he collects during the kingdom. If he has a low number he will get a bronze crest.
If he gets a medium amount he will get a bronze and silver crest. If he gets a high number he will get bronze, silver, and gold. If he gets a very high number, he will get all that and a platinum crest.
To beat the game it is not necessary to get all Crests-it is only neccesary to get all bronze, silver and gold crests. The platinum crest is optional.
