'''DK Jungle''' is the first race course of the [[Special Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]''. It takes place on [[Donkey Kong Island]] while being based on ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]''. Some elements and enemies of the game thus appear in the course, like [[Tiki Goon]]s, [[Screaming Pillar]]s, [[Frogoon]]s, and [[DK's Tree House]]. The course's music is a rearrangement of "[[DK Island Swing]]" from ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''.


'''DK Jungle''' is the first race course in the [[Special Cup]] of ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' and takes place on [[Donkey Kong Island]]. The course is based on ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]''. Some elements and enemies of this game make their appearance in this course, like [[Tiki Goon]]s, [[Screaming Pillar]]s and [[DK's Tree House]]. The soundtrack is a rearrangement of [[Jungle Hijinxs (Donkey Kong Country)|Jungle Hijinxs]] from ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''.
DK Jungle reappears as a [[classic course]] in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as the fourth and final course of the [[Banana Cup]].


==Course layout==
==''Mario Kart 7''==
[[File:DKJungleStart.jpg|thumb|left|Donkey Kong at the starting line.]]
===Course layout===
The track passes through a thick jungle, where some [[DK Barrel]]s appear. Exiting into a clearing, drivers bounce on a large, red flower from ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'', and land in a path near waterfalls and a lake. The track then makes a left hand turn, past DK's Tree House, and some [[Tiki Goon]]s that move across the track. The track reenters the canopy, passing by multiple [[Frogoon]]s, before traveling across a chasm and entering the [[Golden Temple]]. After a right turn and a left-hand U-turn, racers drive past the gold banana, then glide over a lake flanked by several Screaming Pillars. These Pillars will scream every once in a while, shooting out air to blow back hanggliding players. Finally they land and make a left turn back to the finish line. Also in the background of the course is a flying, airship-like craft with a sort of parachute, which pertains to [[Tiki Pilot]] and also appears in ''Donkey Kong Country Returns''.
[[File:DKJungleStart.jpg|thumb|left|Donkey Kong at the starting line]]
The track starts by passing through a thick jungle, where some [[DK Barrel]]s appear. It curves right, then left, before forming a small split path around a tree. Each split path features a large root that allows drivers to perform [[Jump Boost|tricks]] on. Exiting into a clearing, drivers approach a [[Dash Panel]] before bouncing on a large, red flower from ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'', and land on a path near waterfalls and a lake. The track then makes a left hand turn that decreases in elevation, going past DK's Tree House, and some [[Tiki Goon]]s that move across the track. After going across a wooden bridge, the track reenters the canopy, passing by multiple [[Frogoon]]s and a few mud patches. The road turns right, then left, then right again, before a Dash Panel that sends drivers out of the canopy and onto a set of jumps with Dash Panels at the end that goes through a chasm, leading them to the entrance of the [[Golden Temple]].
 
Once inside the Golden Temple, racers make a right turn and a left-hand U-turn, before approaching an incline leading to a split path that goes past the [[Golden Banana]]. Just before the temple's exit, there is a short [[Glide Ramp]] that sends drivers gliding over a [[Underwater driving|lake]] flanked by several [[Screaming Pillar]]s. These Pillars scream every once in a while, shooting out air to blow back hang-gliding players. The underwater route is slightly twisty. Occasionally appearing in the background of the course in this section is [[Tiki Pilot]]'s airship-like craft from ''Donkey Kong Country Returns''. Finally, racers land and make a left turn back to the finish line, with a split path available; the longer route has additional [[Coins]] and is higher in elevation.

*An extremely difficult glider shortcut can be performed after the temple section. By swooping down to gain speed, going back up, and then using a [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]], it is possible to skip the entire split paths section and land just before the finish line.<ref name="Shortcut">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0sPGB_Mxf0c</ref>
*A respawn shortcut can be performed in the temple by using a speed boost (a [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]] or a Super Mini-Turbo) to jump off the corner of the right turn and respawn in front of the Glide Ramp at the temple exit.<ref name="Shortcut"/>

DK Jungle returns in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as the final course in the [[Banana Cup]]. The track map is rotated 90 degrees clockwise. Some objects are changed and replaced;  the Barrel at the right of the start is now on the left, and the mud near the beginning of the track is absent. The starting banner has also been replaced. The [[Screaming Pillar]]s now exhale smoke when they are screaming, and the [[Tiki Goon]]s have had their movement speed severely reduced. A number of lit torches have been added inside the Golden Temple. The only change made to the track layout is that the U-turn inside the Golden Temple is now slanted upward and acts as an anti-gravity section. Consequently, there is now a dropoff at the Golden Banana allowing drivers to do an aerial trick.
DK Jungle makes its classic course debut in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as the fourth and last race of the [[Banana Cup]]. The track map is rotated 75 degrees clockwise. Some objects are changed and replaced;  the Barrel at the right of the start is now on the left, and the Regular Screaming Pillars have been replaced by [[Screaming Pillar (big)|their big variant]], which exhale smoke while they are screaming. The starting banner has also been replaced, and the [[Tiki Goon]]s have had their movement speed severely reduced. A number of lit torches have been added inside the Golden Temple. The only changes made to the track layout are that the U-turn inside the Golden Temple is now slanted upward and acts as an anti-gravity section, consequently creating a drop-off at the Golden Banana allowing drivers to do an aerial trick; the first left turn before the finish line also has a trickable gap in it now. It is the only course in the Banana Cup to have anti-gravity. Like {{classic-link|Wii|Mushroom Gorge}}, {{classic-link|Wii|Grumble Volcano}}, and {{classic-link|3DS|Neo Bowser City}}, the music is kept the same, but with slightly enhanced bit depth.
 
Notably, the course feature in the foreground of the course's icon (in this case, DK's Tree House) differs from the other courses in the base game as it is positioned on the left side (right side in Mirror Mode). When accounting for DLC courses, including those in the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]'', it is still one of only five courses to do so, the others being {{classic-link|GBA|Cheese Land}}, [[Wild Woods]], {{classic-link|3DS|Neo Bowser City}}, and [[Ninja Hideaway]] (six if [[Animal Crossing]] is counted, as the Spring quarter of the icon depicts the foreground feature on the left as well).


Unlike other retro tracks, the music remains the same as the original, with a slightly enhanced bit depth.

''"This is an arrangement of the main Donkey Kong theme music. I hope you can experience the atmosphere of listening to a big band number. This course also has really nice scenery - we've basically remastered the course from Mario Kart 7. It's more fun than a barrel of monkeys!"''

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*The course feature in the foreground of the track's Wii U icon, differs from most of the other Wii U course icons, as it is positioned on the left (on 50cc, 100cc, 150cc and 200cc) whereas all other course feature's in the foreground of the icon, appear on the right or center. Up until the second DLC pack was released, it was the only one, but it was joined by [[Cheese Land|<small>GBA</small> Cheese Land]], [[Neo Bowser City|<small>3DS</small> Neo Bowser City]], and [[Wild Woods]].
*Excluding ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', DK Jungle is one of only two courses since ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' to have its final lap music raised by more than one semitone compared to the normal variant — in this case, it is raised by two semitones. The only other course with this distinction is [[GCN Baby Park|Baby Park]] in all of its appearances except ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''.
*Ever since ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', in addition to increasing in tempo, the final lap music on every course in the series was increased by one tone with the exception of this course, which increased by two tones.
**It is also one of the only courses to use a different, shorter intro for its final lap music, with this distinction being shared with [[3DS Rock Rock Mountain|Rock Rock Mountain]] in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' and [[Toad Harbor]], [[Mute City]], {{classic-link|GBA|Ribbon Road}}, and {{classic-link|SNES|Bowser Castle 3}} in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''.
*This track and [[Donut Plains 3 (course)|<small>SNES</small> Donut Plains 3]] are the only courses to be in both the Special Cup and Banana Cup. Coincidentally, they are in the Banana Cup in the same game, and they both originally started off as the first course in the Special Cup.
*This course, along with Rock Rock Mountain and [[3DS Cheep Cheep Lagoon|Cheep Cheep Lagoon]], was playable in demo versions of ''Mario Kart 7''.
*DK Jungle is the only track in the Banana Cup to have anti-gravity segments.
*This is the only course in ''Mario Kart 7''{{'}}s Special Cup to not appear in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''.
