Kongo Jungle

The Kongo Jungle is a vast jungle in the game Donkey Kong Country, located on Donkey Kong Island and at the foot of Monkey Mines. It is the earliest residence of the Kong Family, which has since been replaced with areas like Jungle in Donkey Kong Country Returns.

Kongo Jungle's name is based on the in Africa. The only difference is that its name starts with a "K" instead of a "C"; this is a recurring theme throughout the Donkey Kong series, and Kongo Jungle is the earliest example of such.

Kongo Jungle is the first world in Donkey Kong Country. Most of the area is engulfed in a jungle, but features a long cavern about midway through. The cavern's exit leads to the second half of Kongo Jungle, which itself directly leads to a large lake.

Kongo Jungle reappears as the Kongs' residence for the Donkey Kong Country television series.

Super Smash Bros. series
Kongo Jungle (spelled Congo Jungle in the original Super Smash Bros.) appears as one of the arenas in Super Smash Bros. The Kongo Jungle stage is made out of a large wooden platform with several smaller, sometimes floating ones around it. There is also a vast jungle in the background of the arena and a Barrel Cannon underneath the arena. In Super Smash Bros. Melee, in addition to the previous Kongo Jungle returning, another Kongo Jungle stage (later renamed "Kongo Falls" in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate) was introduced. This Kongo Jungle stage is constructed out of logs strewn together, which are sitting on rocks jutting out of a waterfall. In the background of this stage is a vast jungle along with what appears to be DK's Tree House. Kongo Jungle in Super Smash Bros. later returns in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, while both versions reappear in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
