Great Ape Lakes

The Great Ape Lakes make up the fourth area in the Game Boy and Game Boy Color game Donkey Kong Land III. Located in the Northern Kremisphere, to the east of Blackforest Plateau and to the west of Tin Can Valley, they replace the isle of Mekanos from Donkey Kong Country 3 as the fourth world in the game. This area is ruled by the powerful robot KAOS, that is no longer the alleged leader of the Kremling Krew, but simply a weapon whose goal is to get rid of the Kongs before they can reach Baron K. Roolenstein's hideout in Tin Can Valley.

After a tedious journey through the rainy mountains, the snowy tundras and the dim-lit woods of Blackforest Plateau, Dixie Kong and Kiddy Kong finally reach a sunny, tropical region: the western banks of the Great Ape Lakes are covered with a dense jungle, that hosts many wildlife species. The Upper Ape Lake is located on the top of high plateau; it is connected to a much more widespread Lower Ape Lake by a large waterfall. The eastern region of this area is not as pleasant, as the Kremling Krew built two factories there: the first one is located on the edge of a forest, the second is located atop the main plateau.
