It is a key location from the [[Donkey Kong (franchise)|''Donkey Kong'' franchise]], and it first appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. Just like the [[Mushroom Kingdom]], Donkey Kong Island is frequently invaded, often by the [[Kremling]]s.

Donkey Kong Island is first seen in the game ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]]. While [[Diddy Kong]] is guarding the [[banana hoard]] one night, a group of [[Kremling]]s led by a [[Klump]] (or a [[Krusha]] in the [[Game Boy Advance]] [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Advance)|remake]]) appear and steal all of the bananas to menace the Kong Family. Setting off at once, Donkey frees Diddy from a barrel and 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 [[Kong]]s board the vessel and defeat King K. Rool, allowing them to take back the banana hoard while driving the Kremling Krew from the island.

The island appears as the Jungle Kingdom, ruled by [[Cranky Kong]], in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]''. It is largely based on the aesthetic of ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'', with visual references to the [[Donkey Kong (game)|arcade game]]. The kingdom is inhabited by various Kongs wearing different outfits, who live in {{wp|rondavel}}s on top of a lake. The rondavels are connected by bridges, which also serve as roads for [[kart]]s, the vehicles used in the kingdom for transportation. Atop of one of the kingdom's mountains there is an golden {{wp|Inca}}-like gold structure resembling a Kong's head, which serves as Cranky Kong's lair. Other notable locations in the kingdom include the [[Great Ring of Kong]], the [[kart workshop]], and the [[secret passage]].

The Jungle Kingdom is first seen briefly on a map showing areas surrounding the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. It is later visited by [[Mario]], [[Princess Peach]], and [[Toad]], who reach the kingdom to convince Cranky Kong and the [[Great Kong Army]] to help them save the Mushroom Kingdom from [[Bowser]]. After being transported via a kart carried by a [[glider]] to Cranky's lair, the protagonists attempt to convince Cranky to help them, but he promise to do so only if Mario beats his heir Donkey Kong in a duel at the Great Ring of Kong. After the fight and Mario's victory, Cranky decides to help, and proposes to the heroes to use a shortcut to return to the Mushroom Kingdom. After building their karts at the workshop, the protagonists, along with the Kong Army, reach [[Rainbow Road]] using the secret passage.

{{quote2|You'll find a wide variety of ecosystems in Donkey Kong Country. Though the island itself is mainly tropical, there are great pine forest on the slopes of snowcapped peaks. The mountain are riddled with mines, tunnels and caves. Surrounding the island are many tropical lagoons full of reefs and colorful fish. Following are general descriptions of each area.|''Donkey Kong Country'' instruction booklet, page 20}}

{{quote2|Donkey Kong Island was a peaceful place where a banana-loving ape could enjoy himself. However, the Tikis have come and taken away all of Donkey Kong's bananas. In order to defeat the Tikis and get back his bananas, Donkey Kong, with the help of Diddy Kong, will have to traverse eight different worlds and drive the Tikis from the island. Donkey Kong Island is full of items, hidden collectibles, and lots of adventure. There are places to jump, things to climb, and areas to explore. Of course, there are also lots of enemies that will try to prevent Donkey Kong from saving his bananas. It is important to learn about the island and what it contains, or the Tikis will take over and Donkey Kong Island will no longer be a home to its namesake.|''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' Player's Guide, page 16}}
