In some of the Forest's levels there are sun rays that shine through the trees in the background. It introduces new elements including: [[vine]]s, moving structures with turf, platforms that fluctuate up and down in a diagonal fashion, and slow-moving pillars capable of crushing the Kongs. There are many plants appearing in the background that can be [[Ground Pound]]ed for items and patches of grass that can be clung onto. It shares some elements with [[Jungle (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Jungle]] such as springy flora and similar enemies. | In some of the Forest's levels there are sun rays that shine through the trees in the background.

The Forest is shown to be a pine forest, though the levels do not feature fir trees. Most of the levels take place inside the dense forest, but in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'', the level [[Forest Folly]] takes place both inside and outside the Forest. Totem poles also appear in the Forest's levels as either decoration or actual platforms. Above the forest is the [[Golden Temple]], whose land features waterfalls that lead into an area behind the trees. The world also features a large log where [[Muncher Marathon]] takes place. | The Forest is shown to be a pine forest, though the levels do not feature fir trees.
