Lychee Kingdom

The Lychee Kingdom is the fourteenth kingdom in Donkey Kong Jungle Beat and the second kingdom linked to the B Barrel. The kingdom is located in a large plant and in a fiery cave. The Lychee Kingdom can be accessed by completing all the kingdoms linked to the J Barrel, defeating the Cactus King, and collecting twenty-nine or more Crests. Donkey Kong travels through this kingdom to fight Thunder Roc, the ruler of the kingdom. As in the other kingdoms, Donkey Kong eats a giant fruit at the end of every level here, particularly a lychee.

Helibird Dash
Helibird Dash is the first area of the Lychee Kingdom. The level takes place inside a giant hollow vine. Helibird Dash is a relatively short level, where Donkey Kong has to race four Helibirds to the finish line with his own Helibird. The level features little obstacles, and the ape must simply move his Helibird through the narrow pathways quickly. However, small, pink flowers are located throughout the whole level, and the ape must try to come near them, as they produce heavy winds that can push the Helibirds forward faster. At the end of the level, Donkey Kong can bite into a giant lychee to head to the next level, Lava Cavern.

Winning the race is not necessary to complete the level, however, completing the race before the ape's opponents can help him gain more beats and, as a result, earn more crests. Losing to all four Helibirds causes the ape to earn no beats, while coming in third place in the race gives him 100 bonus beats. 300 beats are awarded if the ape achieves second places, and first place gives him a total of 500 extra beats.

Lava Cavern
Lava Cavern is the second area of the Lychee Kingdom. As its name implies, the level takes place in a cavern filled with lava. If Donkey Kong comes into contact with the lava, falling rocks, or fiery bubbles that move around the level, he takes damage and loses beats. Fiery bats are also scattered around the level to harm and burn Donkey Kong, while a round, rolling amphibian enemy appears clogging up his path. Helper Monkeys appear around some parts of the level as well to aid the Kong, along with strange dragon heads that have to ability to transport him through parts of the stage. The level features two types of Jungle Buddies, Flurl the Squirrel and Helibirds, who help him progress. If Donkey Kong manages to bite into the giant lychee at the end of the level, he travels ahead to battle with Thunder Roc.
