==Layout==
===Kong Isle===
{|class="wikitable dk"
Kong Isle is the home of the Kongs and the centerpiece of DK Isles. Much like in previous games, it is depicted as being shaped like [[Donkey Kong]]'s head. It contains the starting area of the game, a small jungle region where [[DK's Tree House]] stands. To leave this area, DK needs to obtain the [[Simian Slam]] potion from [[Cranky Kong|Cranky]] after completing his [[Training Barrel]]s. The outer portion of the island consists of a beach surrounded by a few cliffs and caves. The entrances to [[Jungle Japes]], [[Angry Aztec]], [[Fungi Forest]], and [[Crystal Caves]] are located here. After [[K. Lumsy]] is freed from his prison, he causes K. Rool's airship to crash land on the beach, setting up the game's final battle.
 
===Crocodile Isle===
This is not a true part of DK Isles, but rather a large, fortified, mechanical island which K. Rool positioned in front of Kong Isle with the intent of firing the Blast-o-Matic from it and destroying the Kongs' home. Regardless, it is considered a part of the game's hub world. The entrances to [[Frantic Factory]], [[Gloomy Galleon]], [[Creepy Castle]], and [[Hideout Helm]] are located here. [[Snide's HQ]] is also here. Attached to Crocodile Isle is a [[K. Lumsy's Prison|small prison]] where K. Lumsy is being held.
 
===Banana Fairy Island===
This island is the home of the Banana Fairies. It features a large structure shaped like a Banana Fairy's head, which Tiny is able to enter after learning the [[Mini-Monkey]] move, since the entrance is too small to go through otherwise. Upon doing so, she meets the [[Banana Fairy Princess]], who asks her to find the other Banana Fairies, who have gone missing from the island.
 
===Other islands===
Several small, unnamed islands surround Kong Isle. Two of them feature large rocks that, when destroyed, reveal cannons, which are used to access Fungi Forest and Creepy Castle. Another one features a large "X" which can be Simian Slammed by [[Hunky Chunky]] to reveal a Golden Banana.

It contains the starting area of the game, a small jungle region where DK's Tree House stands. To leave this area, DK needs to obtain the Simian Slam potion from Cranky after completing his Training Barrels. The outer portion of the island consists of a beach surrounded by a few cliffs and caves. The entrances to Jungle Japes, Angry Aztec, Fungi Forest, and Crystal Caves are located here. After K. Lumsy is freed from his prison, he causes K. Rool's airship to crash land on the beach, setting up the game's final battle. Donkey Kong
This is mechanical Crocodile Isle
Crocodile Isle 		This is not a true part of DK Isles, but rather a large, fortified, mechanical island which K. Rool positioned in front of Kong Isle with the intent of firing the Blast-o-Matic from it and destroying the Kongs' home. Regardless, it is considered a part of the game's hub world. The entrances to Frantic Factory, Gloomy Galleon, Creepy Castle, and Hideout Helm are located here. Snide's HQ is also here. Attached to Crocodile Isle is a small prison where K. Lumsy is being held. King K. Rool
This is Banana Fairy Island
Banana Fairy Island 		This island is the home of the Banana Fairies. It features a large structure shaped like a Banana Fairy's head, which Tiny is able to enter after learning the Mini-Monkey move, since the entrance is too small to go through otherwise.
