Sacred Tree

The Sacred Tree is an area in Donkey Kong Jungle Beat that Donkey Kong can obtain Crests from after completing a kingdom. To do so, he must offer beats and bananas to it after completing a kingdom.

The scoring system differs between the Nintendo GameCube and New Play Control! versions. In the original, the scores are divided into four zones: bronze, silver, gold, and platinum. In the remake, there are only three zones, and each Crest is platinum. In the original version, by obtaining a Crest, Donkey Kong automatically also receives the Crests from a lower rank as well (e.g. a Gold Crest also rewards him with the Silver and the Bronze Crest).
