This article is under construction. Therefore, please excuse its informal appearance while it is being worked on. We hope to have it completed as soon as possible.
Template:DKJB Kingdom The Cherry Kingdom is the ninth kingdom linked in Donkey Kong Jungle Beat, and the first kingdom linked to the J Barrel. The kingdom is located on both a glacier and a volcano. The Cherry Kingdom can be accessed by completing all the kingdoms linked to the K Barrel and collecting twelve or more Crests. It is the dominion of Hard Roc in the GameCube version of the game, or Grave Tusk in the New Play Control! version. Donkey Kong travels through this kingdom to fight these mighty foes, and at the end of every level he eats a giant cherry bunch.
Levels
Aurora Glacier
Aurora Glacier is the first area of the Cherry Kingdom. As its name implies, this level takes place on a freezing glacier. Donkey Kong has less traction on this stage and can easily slide across the icy floors. Freezing bats attack Donkey Kong here, causing him to freeze as well if hit. The stage also features some Helper Monkeys, who toss Donkey Kong to new areas. Although it appears to be very chilly in this level, Donkey Kong is able to swim in the underwater areas of it. Two mini-bosses are encountered in this level as well, and they include a set of two hog enemies, who throw coconuts at the ape from trees, and a round, rolling reptile. At the end of the level, Donkey Kong is able to bite into a cherry bunch to end the level.
Level Layout
The level begins on a long slope, which Donkey Kong is forced to slide down. A bump in the ground is located farther ahead of the start, and when the ape goes over it, he is sent between several Banana Bunches and to many Blooms. The Blooms create a path that goes over the nearby ice crystals and over a ledge. There is a path below this ledge to break the Kong's fall, as well as some hog enemies walking along it. Two groups of three Banana Bunches are also above this area. At the end of the long path is a few stair-like platforms leading to a Gale Hawg, who blocks the ape's path. Once it is defeated, Donkey Kong can climb up the rest of the stairs to find another slippery slope. While the ape skates down the area, he treads through a few snowmen and makes his way into a small, underground ice cavern, where he slides down into a lower area after crashing through three more snowmen.
Another set of snowmen are in the area below this, and Donkey Kong is forced into them because of the slippery ice. Another gap is below this area, and on the way down, one can find some bananas and Banana Bunches. At the lowest area of the cavern, the ground becomes less flat and tilted, although it is still quite slippery. A few ice bats are along this westward path, as well as a large, spiked enemy sticking out of the ground and a few sharp ice crystals. Another spiked enemy is ahead, as well as a Helper Monkey. This monkey throws Donkey Kong through a narrow passage to some other Helper Monkeys. On the way, he runs into some Blooms, which can be collected to earn beats. When the area becomes wider, the ape falls to a giant iceberg floating on the water. Above this rising and sinking platform is a group of small, sphere shaped enemies. A pathway into the water is at the end of this iceberg, and at the bottom of the gap is a set of three Banana Bunches, each encased in a small bubble. Ice crystals pave the underwater areas under the iceberg, and there are several groups of four bananas directing Donkey Kong to the next area. A narrow passage is just ahead from here, and a heavy current is in it, which pushes the ape back to land.
No longer underwater, Donkey Kong soon climbs up a small stair platform to meet two hog enemies in trees. Once the foes are defeated, a new Helper Monkey appears. This monkey throws the ape to another Helper Monkey, who then swings him to a high area, where there are four Banana Bunches trapped in bubbles. Near here is a deep abyss leading to another slide. As Donkey Kong goes down this icy surface, he heads past some bananas. After passing a few spiky enemies, who stick out of the top and bottom of the area, Donkey Kong runs into a large, sphere shaped lizard. It blocks the ape's path completely, however, once it is defeated, the Kong is able to access another gap that leads him into a lower area. The ground is slippery in here as well, so he must skate down the slope, running into two sets of four Banana Bunches. At the end of the area, the ape slides under a small tree. On this tree's branch is a giant cherry; once the ape bites into it, the level ends.
Grim Volcano
Grim Volcano is the second area of the Cherry Kingdom. Unlike the previous level, Grim Volcano takes place in a hot volcano rather than a cold glacier. The bats are on fire here and cause Donkey Kong to burn if they touch him. The lava in the level occasionally shoots a pillar of fire here as well, so Donkey Kong has to time his jumps correctly. Like most other levels in the game, Helper Monkey and Banande Lions appear, as do some meteors. Other returning obstacles include mushrooms that quickly grow when hit by sound waves and dragon heads that send Donkey Kong to new areas. Two new types of enemies also appear in this level. The first new foe is a giant, ghost-like enemy, who blocks the ape's path into a small gap, and the final new enemy is a dancing panda. After biting into the giant cherry bunch at the end of the level, Donkey Kong fights the boss, Hard Rock (or Grave Tusk in the Wii version).
