Tunnel of Love

Tunnel of Love
Appears in	Donkey Kong: Coloring & Activity Book (book 4) (1982)

The Tunnel of Love is an attraction in Video Land Amusement Park, as seen in the fourth book in the Donkey Kong coloring and activity book series. The ride is a reference to Old Mill rides, often referred to in pop culture as "tunnels of love" due to the tendency of couples making out during those dark rides.

After successfully escaping Donkey Kong in the previous book, Mario and Pauline celebrate their victory by going to the attraction. However, Donkey Kong emerges from the water and runs towards the Tunnel of Love after Mario and Pauline, who hear him. They quietly leave the boat they are on and swim through the channel and under Donkey Kong's boat. Donkey Kong realizes this and blocks the entrance they were swimming towards. Mario and Pauline then run on the ledge of the ride and in a scene with some cupids, disguising themselves as two of them. After Pauline shoots an arrow at Donkey Kong, she and Mario run through the emergency exit and head towards The Shrink Machine.
