Jungle Hijinxs is the first level of Donkey Kong Country, and is located within the Kongo Jungle. The level starts off outside Donkey Kong's tree house. If the player turns back when beginning the level, they can enter the house for a Extra Life Balloon, or enter the cave beneath Donkey Kong's house to check on his Banana Hoard - where he will find his bananas gone (unless the player has finished the game, in which case his bananas will be piled up in the cave).
The level plays host to simple enemies; Gnawtys, Kritters, Klumps and a single Necky. It is also where the Animal Buddy, Rambi the Rhino can be used for the first time. It is a simple level with very few pitfalls. The Kongs can also run along the treetops to search for hidden items. As the Kongs come to the end of this level, it will get dark and become night time.

[edit] Donkey Kong Country
From the start of the level, Donkey Kong will shoot out of his tree house and land in front of a cave, which was once filled with dozens of ripe bananas. Donkey Kong should break Diddy Kong out from a DK Barrel, and then travel east. They will come up to several enemies, including some Kremlings and Klumps. As they make their way through the jungle, the heroes should collect bananas over the few raised pieces of land, and then proceed through the area to reach the Star Barrel.
Now halfway through the short level, the Kongs must continue east and watch out for many eggs, thrown by a Necky on the above ledges. When they pass this foes, they will have to break open a large crate, which contains Rambi. When they get on the Animal Buddy, they should journey farther through the jungle and hop up a few small ledges. Without hitting any of the Kremlings walking on these ledges, the monkeys must jump up and land on the bright green treetops. Shortly after, though, they must jump down and continue across the lush forest. Afterwards, Rambi and the Kongs will need to jump over a small gap and continue on. Soon, they will see an exit sign. If they walk a little farther, they will go into a cave and exit the level.
[edit] Bonus Level(s)
- After the letter N is obtained, the heroes must walk to a nearby wall to the right of them and break through it with Rambi. When the wall breaks open, an entryway will be revealed, which the group should go in. They will end up in a Bonus Level, where they may collect as many bananas as they please scattered around. At the end of the cave, the Kongs and Rambi should walk into the opening to exit the bonus.
- When the group comes up to the letter G, they should jump off of the treetops and break open another wall with Rambi. When the wall is broken, they must enter that opening to get in the Bonus Level. Here, the heroes must stop the barrels by touching them, and make an image of a certain Animal Token appear on each one of them. If they can match all the barrels, they will win the token they chose, and then exit the stage. If they lose though, they'll be awarded with nothing and be forced out of the bonus.
