'''Donkey Kong Island''' (also | '''Donkey Kong Island''' (also known as '''DK Island''', '''DK Isles''' and '''Donkey Kong Country''') is the home of [[Donkey Kong]] and the rest of the [[Kong Family]]. It is a key location from the Donkey Kong series. Much like the [[Mushroom Kingdom]], the island has enjoyed times of both peace and hardship, mostly due to the evil actions of [[King K. Rool]] and the piratical [[Kremling Krew]] who once made their home on the nearby [[Crocodile Isle]]. | ||
The island | The island was originally depicted as being shaped like Donkey Kong's head, complete with features such as ears and Donkey Kong's signature hair swirl. From ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' onwards, however, the frozen mountaintops and the visage of the great ape have been replaced by a huge volcano. The island itself is extremely large and has drastically different climates in various areas, some areas being jungle, frozen wasteland and desert. There are several mysterious ruins on the island primarily resembling ancient South American architecture. Many of these ruins depict visages of Kremlings who are thought to have built some of these temples, and the world of [[Kremlantis]]. Despite this, Kong-themed architecture is extremely common, perhaps even more so, in other ruins found on the island. Aside from [[Kremkroc Industries, Inc.]], Donkey Kong Island remains fairly untouched by technology and is largely a tropical paradise. | ||
