Grape Kingdom



The Grape Kingdom is the eighth kingdom linked to the K Barrel which appears in Donkey Kong Jungle Beat. The kingdom is located in a high sky and an ancient ruin. 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 or Hard Roc in the New Play Control! version. Donkey Kong traveled through this kingdom and at the end of every level he ate 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. Colored blocks can be seen with either the Nintendo logo or the DK logo. A strange colored substance floated in the sky, which Donkey Kong swam in to navigate through the level. The Helper Monkeys assisted Donkey Kong by throwing him into new colored substances. A black Hog impeded Donkey Kong's progress and was defeated with a clap attack. Near the end of the level, meteors rained from space. Donkey Kong avoided the meteors and ate the Grape bunch, clearing the level.

Primeval Ruins


Primeval Ruins is the second area of the Grape Kingdom. As the name implies, the level takes place in an old abandoned ruin. Donkey Kong started the level descending from a moving platform. Bats tried to stop Donkey Kong, but they were defeated by his clap attack. A dragon helped Donkey Kong traverse though part of the level, which led him into a series of vines. Near the end of the level, a dead end blocked Donkey Kong's progress. Donkey Kong clapped between two candles, causing a new platform to appear. Helper Monkeys tossed Donkey Kong to the end of the level. Donkey Kong ate the giant Grape bunch and fought Grave Tusk or Hard Rock depending on the version.
