The Jungle Kingdom is a location in The Super Mario Bros. Movie that is ruled by Cranky Kong. It is the movie's iteration of Donkey Kong Island, and it is largely based on the aesthetic of Donkey Kong Country Returns, with visual references to the Donkey Kong arcade game. The kingdom is inhabited by various Kongs wearing different outfits, who live in rondavels on top of a lake. The rondavels are connected by bridges, which also serve as roads for karts, the vehicles used in the kingdom for transportation. Atop of one of the kingdom's mountains there is an golden Inca-like gold structure resembling a Kong's head, which serves as Cranky Kong's palace. Other notable locations in the kingdom include the Great Ring of Kong, the kart workshop, and an entrance to the Rainbow Road.
The Jungle Kingdom is first seen briefly on a map showing areas surrounding the Mushroom Kingdom. It is later visited by Mario, Princess Peach, and Toad, who reach the kingdom to convince Cranky Kong and the Kong army to help them save the Mushroom Kingdom from Bowser. After being transported by the driver via a kart carried by a glider to Cranky's lair, the protagonists attempt to convince Cranky to help them, but he promise to do so only if Mario beats his heir Donkey Kong in a duel at the Great Ring of Kong. After the fight and Mario's victory, Cranky decides to help, and proposes to the heroes to use a shortcut to return to the Mushroom Kingdom. After building their karts at the workshop, the protagonists, along with the Kong army, reach Rainbow Road via a passage through numerous waterfalls.
