Donkey Kong Island is first seen in the game ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', for the [[Super Nintendo]]. While guarding the Banana Hoard one night, [[King K. Rool]] and his [[Kremling Krew]] appear and steal all of the bananas to menace the Kong Family. Setting off at once, Donkey and his nephew [[Diddy Kong]] begin a long quest to take back Donkey Kong's [[Golden Banana]] hoard from the thieves, leading them through. the island's many areas. The journey sends them through jungles, caves, glaciers and a large factory operated by the Kremlings before the two heroes finally locate the source of the problem. Finding a ship docked in the waters near Donkey Kong Island, the duo boards the vessel and defeats King K. Rool, allowing them to take back the Banana Hoard while driving the Kremling Krew from the island. | Donkey Kong Island is first seen in the game ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', for the [[Super Nintendo]].

Donkey Kong Island appears only sparingly in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. Following their first adventure, Donkey Kong tries to kick back and relax on the beach, but unbeknownst to him, King K. Rool in his new pirate getup as [[Kaptain K. Rool]] was actively planning revenge. Piloting his crocodile-shaped airship, the Flying Croc, the villain sends down several of his Kremling servants onto the island and ambushes the unfortunate ape, taking Donkey Kong hostage on board his craft. The other Kongs quickly assess the situation before Diddy and his girlfriend [[Dixie Kong]] agree to chase the flying ship to Crocodile Isle and rescue Donkey Kong. | Donkey Kong Island appears only sparingly in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''.

Although Donkey Island is not visited for the rest of the game, it appears in the opening sequence of the game and can be seen in the background of the areas [[Gangplank Galleon]] and [[K. Rool's Keep]]. In the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2]]'', these cameo appearances were removed for unknown reasons. | Although Donkey Island is not visited for the rest of the game, it appears in the opening sequence of the game and can be seen in the background of the areas [[Gangplank Galleon]] and [[K.

''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' featured a return of Donkey Kong Island as the primary location of the game’s levels, also featuring several different environments similar to its portrayal in previous games. The island is revealed to be part of a large archipelago consisting of several smaller islands, several of which are accessible as a part of the story. At the beginning of the game which King K. Rool appears in a mechanized version of Crocodile Isle with a plan to destroy the homeland of the Kongs. | ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' featured a return of Donkey Kong Island as the primary location of the game’s levels, also featuring several different environments similar to its portrayal in previous games.

It is worth noting that the island was smaller in size in this game than in previous installments, although this is likely due to technical issues, such as making it easier to roam the island. The vast locations accessible through portals on the island are different areas of Donkey Kong Island, and what is seen on the surface is not the entire landmass. Since the events of this game, Donkey Kong Island has also been lacking one of its ears, as it had been blown off by [[K. Lumsy]]. | It is worth noting that the island was smaller in size in this game than in previous installments, although this is likely due to technical issues, such as making it easier to roam the island.

The island makes yet another appearance in [[Donkey Kong Country Returns]], once again acting as the main location. In it’s most recent appearance, the Kong Family is featured much less prominently as the main population of the island, with only DK, Diddy, and Cranky making full appearances in the game. Several new creatures are also shown to make their home on Donkey Kong Island in this game which were previously unseen in the series. When seen, the island is also under attack by a new antagonist group known as the [[Tiki Tak Tribe]], who attach themselves to other creatures to take control of their hosts. Much like the Kremling Krew before them, these new enemies are eventually defeated by Kong Family and removed from the island. | The island makes yet another appearance in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'', once again acting as the main location.
