DK's Tree House

Donkey Kong's Treehouse is Donkey Kong's place of residence and it is, obviously also a treehouse.

''Donkey Kong Country
Donkey Kong's Treehouse first appeared in Donkey Kong Country were it is the starting point of the game. The house is rather nice with a picture of sailing boats on the wall and a vase of flowers on a nearby table. As one would expect there is a large amount of bananas in the house, a picture of Candy Kong can also be seen in the house behind a tire.

In the Game Boy Advance, the treehouse has a photograph located in it along with the entire treehouse being redesigned. Unlike the Super Nintendo and Game Boy Color versions of Donkey Kong Country, the Kongs can only collect the Extra Life Balloon once in the entire game instead of it reappearing after each time the Kongs enter the treehouse.

''Donkey Kong 64
Donkey Kong's Treehouse next appeared in Donkey Kong 64 where it is, once again the starting point of a game.

In this game, Donkey Kong's treehouse has many differences compared to the one in Donkey Kong Country. Instead of a bed this treehouse has a hammock. It also has much memorabilia in it, such as Cranky Kong's phonograph from Donkey Kong Country and a red girder from the original Donkey Kong arcade game. The treehouse also has several barrels and crates in it, along with old banana peels.

''Donkey Kong Country Returns
Donkey Kong's Treehouse reappear in Donkey Kong Country Returns after a long absent from the Donkey Kong series. As in the previous games, it serves as the starting point. Constantly when the level start, inside, the Kongs must repeatedly punch the Kalimba tiki until it is knocked out of house (as it earlier tried to hypnotize Donkey Kong, to no avail). The treehouse has slightly maintain the furnitures from Donkey Kong 64, such as the boombox, hammock, and several barrels. It also has two of DK's ties hanging from the ceiling, two picture frames and a T.V. which would show the game's title screen if activated. As in the Game Boy Advance verison of Donkey Kong Country, the Kongs can also collect an Extra Life Balloon once for the entire game.

Donkey Kong Country television series
Donkey Kong's Treehouse also appears in the Donkey Kong Country show, where it is relatively unchanged.

''Mario Party 7
In Mario Party 7, the Treehouse can also be seen in the background of the DK minigame, Jump, Man, when players reach the top of the jungle.

Mario vs. Donkey Kong
The treehouse made a brief appearance in the prologue of the game, when Donkey Kong was channel-surfing and stumbled upon a commercial with Mario Minis.

Trivia

 * In the Nintendo 64 version of Donkey Kong's Treehouse a picture of a dolphin in it. This may be reference to the original code-name for the Nintendo Gamecube, "Project Dolphin".
 * Early screenshots of Donkey Kong 64 showed that there was going to be a shower stall in Donkey Kong's Treehouse with a poster of Banjo and Kazooie on it. The shower and posters were later removed in the final version of the game.
 * In the Game Boy Advance remake of Donkey Kong Country, sometimes when Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong enter DK's treehouse, they will find Very Gnawty inside. The beaver then turns around shocked at the sight of DK and runs past him out the door.
 * In the Super Nintendo Entertainment System and Game Boy Color versions of Donkey Kong Country, the treehouse can only be entered once per when the Kongs play the level. This was removed in the GBA remake of Donkey Kong Country.
