Grape Kingdom

The Grape Kingdom is the eighth kingdom in Donkey Kong Jungle Beat and the fourth barrel linked to the K Barrel. The kingdom is located in the skies and in ancient ruins. The Grape Kingdom can be accessed by completing all the kingdoms linked to the D Barrel and collecting nine or more Crests. The Grape Kingdom is the dominion of Grave Tusk in the GameCube version of the game, and Hard Roc in the New Play Control! version. Donkey Kong travels through this kingdom to fight these mighty foes, and at the end of every level he eats a giant grape bunch.

Sweet Paradise
Sweet Paradise is the first area of the Grape Kingdom. The level takes place in the high up in the sky. Many colored blocks can be seen in this level with either the Nintendo logo or the DK logo. A strange colored substance also floats in the sky, which Donkey Kong swims through to navigate through the level. There are many small sections of this substance all throughout the level, as well as Helper Monkeys, who assist Donkey Kong by throwing him into higher areas. There are a few meteors in this level as well, but they only appear at the end of the stage.

Primeval Ruins
Primeval Ruins is the second area of the Grape Kingdom. As its name implies, the level takes place in old abandoned ruins. The level is quite dark, but Donkey Kong can send out a sound wave to create some light. There are some bat enemies in this stage who glow in the darkness when hit by a sound wave, as well as many large, moving platforms. Primeval Ruins also features a few dragon-like creatures to carry him to new area, and Helper Monkeys also fill the level, teaming up to form ropes for the ape to swing on. Normal Helper Monkey also appear in bushes to throw Donkey Kong to higher areas. Although the level mostly features minor enemies, Iguanagon appears here, and must be defeated to progress. After Donkey Kong finishes this level, he fights the boss, Grave Tusk (or Hard Rock in the Wii version).
