'''''Donkey Kong Country: Rumble in the Jungle''''' is a 1995 chapter book written by [[Michael Teitelbaum]], illustrated by [[Leif Peng]] and published by [[Troll Communications]]. It is loosely based on the game ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'', as it features a mirrored version of its cover art, the [[Big Ape City]] location, and enemies such as [[Hogwash]]es. However, several characters and locations absent from ''Donkey Kong Land'' appear in this novel, such as [[Funky Kong]], [[Squawks the Parrot]] and the [[Tree Top Town]] area. | '''''Donkey Kong Country: Rumble in the Jungle''''' is a 1995 chapter book written by [[Michael Teitelbaum]], illustrated by [[Leif Peng]] and published by [[Troll Communications]].

One sunny morning on [[Donkey Kong Island]], [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] were standing under their tree house, waiting for [[Funky Kong]] who was expected to arrive in his barrel plane. They spot the plane performing dangerous loops before ending in a smooth landing. Donkey Kong introduces Funky to his buddy Diddy, which whom Funky promised a ride in his plane. Funky gives Donkey Kong a walkie talkie, which he can use to communicate with them from the ground. Before they depart, Cranky Kong arrives and scolds the Kongs about how they are much safer staying on the ground, and how apes aren't meant to fly. | One sunny morning on [[Donkey Kong Island]], [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] were standing under their tree house, waiting for [[Funky Kong]] who was expected to arrive in his barrel plane.

Diddy spots what appears to be a huge skyline with tall buildings; Funky Kong explains that it is an abandoned place called [[Big Ape City]], which used to be the biggest city on Donkey Kong Island, until the apes began to favor the surrounding jungles, caves and mountains. After an exciting plane ride, they return to Donkey Kong on the ground, and Funky leaves. However, Donkey Kong realizes that he still has Funky's walkie talkie. Trying to communicate with him, they hear Funky Kong is under attack from some "[[Hogwash the Flying Pig|flying pigs]]" near Big Ape City. The walkie talkie then goes silent. | ||

After inspecting his plane, Funky says that he needs to replace the engine's water pump to fix it. He draws a map showing the way to the supply room, and the location of the city's defense system, which Donkey Kong looks for alone. He travels through an air vent and climbs a cable within an elevator shaft. After reaching the eighth floor, he is grabbed by [[Krusha]], who intends to bring him straight to King K. Rool. Donkey Kong tricks Krusha into thinking that he has a list describing the locations of all the Kongs on the island. Krusha allows Donkey Kong to reach into his pack, although he pulls out a barrel instead, which he throws at Krusha, knocking him out. Donkey Kong then destroys the city's defense system with a TNT Barrel. | After inspecting his plane, Funky says that he needs to replace the engine's water pump to fix it.

Meanwhile, Diddy Kong is crossing several catwalks above the rooms of the factory, making his way into the supply room. He encounters [[Klap Trap]] inside, who quickly evades Diddy's attacks. Diddy manages to lodge a barrel within Klap Trap's jaws. This gives him time to take the water pump that Funky Kong needs to repair the plane's engine, which was soon ready to fly. Just as the Kongs were boarding the plane, [[Rock Kroc]] and another gang of Kremlings enter and prepare to attack.

Throwing a TNT Barrel at a wall, the Kongs create an exit from the factory, and fly away. A squadron of [[Hogwash the Flying Pig|flying pig]]s approaches while they are in the air. Funky has the idea to use the onboard banana milkshake supply to pour onto the pigs. This causes their wings to become sticky, and they are no longer able to fly. Afterward, a zeppelin commanded by King K. Rool launches rockets at Funky's plane, which he skilfully avoids. | ||
Donkey Kong, after telling Funky to fly above the zeppelin, leap out of the plane with Diddy Kong. Together, they land on the zeppelin and climb down to King K. Rool's cabin. However, K. Rool pushes past them, escaping the zeppelin in an escape pod. Donkey Kong and Diddy decide to let the "coward" go, and escape with Funky after planting the ship with time-delayed TNT Barrels. Falling from the air, the zeppelin lands on the factory before causing a powerful explosion. Laughing and content about their victory, the Kongs fly back home to their tree house. | Donkey Kong, after telling Funky to fly above the zeppelin, leap out of the plane with Diddy Kong.
