Vine Valley is the third world in Donkey Kong Country, located after Monkey Mines. It is a large pine forest area of Donkey Kong Island featuring several forest areas, a treetop village, a jungle, and a temple ruins. In the center of the world, there is a large bay connected to the ocean. The boss of this area is Queen B., located across the bay. From the world map, Vine Valley appears to take place during sunset. This is the only world of the game that lacks cave stages. The Forest world from Donkey Kong Country Returns is thematically similar and its first level is named after it; it has been suggested to be the same location.[1]

Profiles[edit]

  • Instruction booklet description:
    • English:
      In the lofty treetops of Donkey Kong Country, you'll find a deserted town of wooden platforms and huts, origin unknown. But while the original inhabitants may be gone, the place is teeming with Kremlings and their friends, ready to ambush anyone who trespasses here. The barrel cannons are particularly tricky in the treetops![2]
  • Prima Official Game Guide description:
    • English:
      The gaps are longer and more precarious. The Barrel Cannons are tougher to fire through. The creatures are bigger and badder. An entire zone full of crazy ginger orangutans features five Bonus Levels! This must be the entrance to K. Rool's kingdom—the fearful Vine Valley. You'll witness a variety of level types and will have to react with greater speed and accuracy than before. Just keep on trotting, and use your animal friends to their fullest advantage.[3]
