Template:Articleabout Template:Level Jungle Hijinxs is the first level of Donkey Kong Country and Donkey Kong Country Returns. It is located within the Kongo Jungle in Donkey Kong Country, and within the Jungle area in Donkey Kong Country Returns.

In Donkey Kong Country, the level starts off outside Donkey Kong's tree house. If the player turns back when beginning the level, they can enter the house for a Extra Life Balloon, or enter the cave beneath Donkey Kong's house to check on his Banana Hoard - where he will find his bananas gone (unless the player has finished the game, in which case his bananas will be piled up in the cave). The level plays host to simple enemies; Gnawties, Kritters, Klumps and a single Necky. It is also where the Animal Buddy, Rambi can be used for the first time. It is a simple level with very few pitfalls. The Kongs can also run along the treetops to search for hidden items. As the Kongs come to the end of this level, it gets dark and becomes night time.

Jungle Hijinxs reappears in the most recent addition to the Donkey Kong Country series, Donkey Kong Country Returns. Here, one can find Donkey Kong's treehouse a second time to find an Extra Life Balloon. Similar to the Jungle Hijinxs from the first Donkey Kong Country, this stage is rather basic, with very few pits. However, the level does feature some new enemies, such as Screaming Pillars, Frogoons, Tiki Goons, Awks, and Rawks. The Kongs can also enter the background of a level for the first time here by using an Auto Fire Barrel.

In the Time Attack mode of Donkey Kong Country Returns, a time of 0:57:00 is needed to get a gold medal, a time of 1:17:00 for silver, and a time of 1:45:00 for bronze.

Overview

Donkey Kong Country

File:DKCI465.jpg
The end of the level.

At the start of the level, Donkey Kong will shoot out of his tree house and land in the front of a cave, once filled with dozens of ripe bananas before the Kremling Krew stole it. He can then find a DK Barrel where he can release Diddy Kong. The Kongs will then come up to several enemies, including Kritters and Klumps. As the Kongs make their way throughout this level, they can collect bananas over the few raised pieces of land, and continue throughout the level so they can reach the Star Barrel. Afterwards, the Kongs must continue east, where they can find a Necky on some ledges who will throw eggs at the Kongs. When they pass this foe, they can break open a large Animal Crate containing Rambi. When they get on the Animal Buddy, they must journey further through the jungle and hop up a few small ledges. Without hitting any of the Kremlings walking on these ledges, the primates jump up and land on the bright green treetops. Shortly after, though, they jump down and continue across the lush forest. Afterwards, Rambi and the Kongs must jump over a small gap and continue on. Soon, they can see an exit sign. If they walk a little farther, they enter a cave and exit the level.

Donkey Kong Country Returns

The level begins with Donkey and Diddy exiting their treehouse after defeating a Tiki enemy. If they travel forward along the sandy pathway, they head into a deeper part of the jungle, where they meet an Awk near a stone block that they can break. A dandelion and three more Awks follow the stone cube. Trees that the primates can stand on are above them, and one of the trees has the letter K on it. Blocks are located after the tree holding the letter K. A Tiki Goon is between a pair of blocks and a single one. The heroes reach a trio of Screaming Pillars along the way; the third pillar has a stone block on top of it the quickly falls when it is startled. After the duo passes a lone Banana Bunch, they come up to a hill. As they cross it, a flying ship with a Tiki foe on it appears in the background.

Donkey Kong bounces on a large, red flower.

However, it soon flies away, leaving the Kongs unharmed. A pair of Awks and three plants that contain items follow the bridge. A floor tile nearby here has a hidden area under it, which contains some collectibles. Donkey and Diddy can soon find two Frogoons around a raised area of land with a large, bouncy flower next to it in a slightly lower area. When the heroes bounce on this, two giant statues to the left and right of them shoot out many bananas. After passing another raised area of land with a Frogoon on it, the Kongs come along a path leading to an Awk and a series of three platforms. Two of the platforms are placed in the air with a gap between them, and another is located directly above the same gap. Bananas and a Tiki Goon are also on the platforms, and the letter O is in the gap. The Tutorial Pig and the first checkpoint wait immediately after these platforms.

Another raised area of land follows a DK Barrel in this area. Two Awks march near a gap full of spikes ahead. Eventually, Donkey and Diddy reach a giant button that makes a new area appear in the background if pounded on several times. Once they shoot to the background with the Barrel Cannon that appears, they land on top of some tall, pillar-like platforms that are pushed downwards when hit. Awks are on some of these pillars, and they are followed by two additionally Awks in a flat area of land. Four platforms are attached to a solid wall above here. The first of these platforms holds the letter N, while the second carries a heart. If they climb up all of the platforms, they can reach a Barrel Cannon that shoots them towards many Auto Fire Barrels in the air. The barrels shoot them through the air and then onto solid ground again, where a barrel and a block can be found. A raised area is after the block with two Tiki Goons on it. A heart and another stone cube is located at the end of the raised land, which is followed by a bridge with some Awks on it. Awks and Rawks march along the pathway ahead, trying to attack the primates. Several stone structures are placed above all of these foes, and they lead to the letter G and even a Puzzle Piece. Two large, red flowers can be seen ahead. If they Kongs bounce from the second flower, they can reach the level's Slot Machine Barrel; hitting this barrel makes the level complete.

Bonus Level(s)

Diddy celebrates after winning a Bonus Level.
  • After the letter N is obtained, the heroes must walk to a nearby wall to the right of them and break through it with Rambi. After the wall breaks open, an entryway will be revealed, which the group must go in. They should end up in a Bonus Level, where they may collect as many bananas as possible scattered around. At the end of the cave, the Kongs and Rambi must walk into the opening to exit the bonus area.
  • When the group comes up to the After the wall is broken, they must enter that opening to get in the Bonus Level. Here, the heroes must stop several barrels by touching them, which should make an image of a certain Animal Token appear on each one of them. If they can match all the barrels, they win the token they chose, and then exit the stage. If they lose though, they'll be awarded with nothing and be forced out of the bonus.

K-O-N-G Letters

  • K: Above the first Kritter found in the level
  • O: Found next to the Star Barrel of the level.
  • N: Left of the first pit near the group of Gnawtys.
  • G: Automatically obtained when completing the first Bonus Level or next to the last three Kritters in the level.

Donkey Kong Country Returns

K-O-N-G Letters

  • K: When the heroes reach a trio of Awks near the beginning of the level, they can find the letter K on a treetop. They must jump from a stone block to reach it.
  • O: The letter O is in the last abyss before the checkpoint. They must roll-jump to grab it safely. In 2-Player Mode, a Kong can instead jump into the abyss to get it.
  • N: The letter N is on the first platform in the background area of the level that the primates can use to climb up to the next Barrel Cannon.
  • G: The primates should bounce on a Rawk near the end of the level to reach a high area of platforms. The letter G is high in the air after the last platform that they can jump to in order to grab.

Puzzle Pieces

File:JungleHijinxDKCR165.PNG
The primates begin a Bonus Level.
  1. Immediately at the start of the level, the Kongs should head backwards into their empty Banana Hoard to find a Puzzle Piece.
  2. The Kongs should head left fro the letter K along the treetops to reach a platform with a dandelion on it. If they blow on the flower, a Puzzle Piece appears.
  3. The primates should pound on the remains of the last Screaming Pillar in the level to release a Puzzle Piece.
  4. The heroes should pound on a large plant shortly after a Tiki enemy appears in the background in a flying ship. When they do so, a Puzzle Piece is revealed.
  5. When the duo jumps on the first bouncy, red flower in the level, statues nearby shoot bananas across the air. If they collect all of these bananas, a Puzzle Piece appears.
  6. As soon as the primates reach the background area in the level, they should roll-jump over the abyss to the left to get on a small platform with a dandelion on it. If they blow on the plant, a Puzzle Piece appears.
  7. Shortly after the duo exits the background area of the level, they can find a raised area of land with two Tiki Goons on it. If they pound on the stone tilt in the middle of here, they fall into the hidden Bonus Level, where they must shoot through a Barrel Cannon to collect fifty-seven bananas, two Banana Coins, and an Extra Life Balloon. If they collect everything within thirty seconds, a Puzzle Piece appears.
  8. When the heroes reach the Rawk enemies near the end of the level, they should bounce on one of them to reach some raised platforms. If they head left on these, they come up to a platform with a Puzzle Piece above it.
  9. At the end of the level, Donkey and Diddy should ignore the Slot Machine Barrel and head into the wall to the right, where they can enter a hidden alcove with the ninth and final Puzzle Piece in it.
