Jungle Jeopardy

Jungle Jeopardy is the nineteenth level in Donkey Kong Land III. It is the first level of the Great Ape Lakes, located in a northwest region, and it takes place in a dense jungle.

Trudging along a dirt path, between ferns and tropical trees, Dixie Kong and Kiddy Kong must make their way through the rain forest to complete this level. They have to focus on crossing the numerous chasms safely, taking advantage of the occasional help provided by Barrel Cannons and hovering Knik-Knaks. Sometimes, they need to use Konveyor Ropes, a mechanism that was introduced in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! in the aptly-named level Konveyor Rope Klash. These mobile tightropes can be used to cross several gaps, but Dixie and Kiddy must remain careful so as not to be stung by the aggressive Buzzes that roam the canopy. Fortunately, most of the time clambering around on these Konveyor Ropes is not necessary to proceed onwards, and the Kongs can choose to walk on land. Various species of enemies, such as Sneeks, Bristles, Kobbles or Re-Koils, hinder the Kongs' way; Knockas are especially dangerous here, as they can easily push the simian adventurers into a nearby pit. Bazukas also make their first appearance in this level, though only in a Bonus Level.

Layout
When the level begins, the Kongs find themselves walking through the dense jungle, collecting some bananas and defeating enemies. After crossing a few gaps, they make their way onto the first set of Konveyor Ropes. Jumping up and down from the parallel ropes to avoid Buzzes, the group soon gets back on the ground and travels down the path. Walking up the bumpy path, they jump over many Bristles to find a banana trail leading over to another Konveyor Rope. This rope leads the Kongs over the area and to the letter O, as long as they can avoid the swarms of Buzzes flying around. After letting go of the moving rope, the apes find the Star Barrel.

About halfway through the level, the primates make their way to a barrel that blasts them over a small gap and to the letter N. Once this happens, the heroes are greeted by several foes, such as Sneeks and Re-Koils, as they run along the hilly area. After collecting the letter G and walking down a slanted path, the animals use a Knik-Knak to cross a small gap. Farther on, they walk through another hilly area, avoiding more enemies, this time with some Buzzes and Bristles. Eventually, the group makes their way to a flagpole. Touching the flagpole ends the level.
