N64 DK's Jungle Parkway: Difference between revisions

'''DK's Jungle Parkway''' (originally written as '''D.K.'s Jungle Parkway'''), also known as '''Donkey Jungle Park'''<ref>''Nintendo Magazine System'' (UK) issue 51, page 28.</ref><ref>''Nintendo Magazine System'' (Australia) issue 49, page 41.</ref> or '''Donkey Kong Jungle''',<ref>''Nintendo Magazine System'' (UK) issue 51, page 29.</ref> is the first racecourse of the [[Special Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart 64]]''. It is [[Donkey Kong]]'s home track in the game. The course returns in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' as the third course of the [[Leaf Cup]]. The music for this course is the shortest of all ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' courses in the series, with each loop being only about 15 seconds long.

DK's Jungle Parkway makes its classic course debut in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' as the third race of the [[Leaf Cup]]. In that version, the [[Hammer Bro]]s., [[Toad (species)|Toad]]s, [[Goomba]]s, and [[Shy Guy]]s ride the paddle steamer (only in single-player mode), the water is yellowish-orange instead of blue (to reflect the color of the sunset sky), and the jungle has been pushed back, with the coconuts that usually hit the player being removed. Another change is that inside the cave is mud, which slows down racers that try to cross it, unless they use a [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]], [[Golden Dash Mushroom|Golden Mushroom]], [[Super Star|Star]], or [[Mega Mushroom]] to cut ahead without slowing down. The [[Dash Panel]] at the jump has been modified. In the N64 version, if the player is shrunk by [[Lightning]] when approaching the jump, it is possible for the player not to make it over the river. In this version, the Dash Panel acts similarly to the [[Barrel Cannon]], where the player always makes it across, even when shrunk, and also forces the drivers to go straight and prevents them from cutting ahead and/or going anywhere else. Also, the [[Arrow Sign]]s are now brown with blue arrows instead of cream with red arrows. The course map has been rotated 90° counterclockwise.
