Sacred Tree

The Sacred Tree is a place where Donkey Kong can offer beats or bananas in order to earn Crests in Donkey Kong Jungle Beat. At the end of each kingdom, he can offer the total number of beats or bananas (depending on which version) to this place in order to earn up to four crests (only three in the New Play Control! version).

Scoring
The scoring system is divided into four zones (three in the Wii version) and each time Donkey Kong reaches that amount, the more crests he receives. Here is how it scores:
