Jungle Hijinxs (Donkey Kong Country): Difference between revisions

==Layout==

The level starts when [[Donkey Kong]] shoots out of his tree house and then lands onto the ground. If Donkey Kong enters his Banana Hoard, he finds it empty, while if he enters his tree house found higher up, he can nab an [[Extra Life Balloon]] to gain an extra life along the way. Donkey Kong must continue a few steps to encounter a [[Gnawty]] and Diddy Kong stuck in a DK Barrel on whom he must free. Alternatively, from the treehouse's entrance, the Kongs have the option to hop from several treetops and collect two red balloons and one green balloon. After this, the Kongs must continue along to a raised piece of land with a Kritter on it and a Gnawty underneath it so they can obtain the letter K of the [[K-O-N-G Letters]]. Afterwards, the Kongs encounter two Kritters on two raised pieces of land and two [[Klump]]s, whom they must defeat to continue along so they can reach the [[Star Barrel]] and the letter O next to it.

==Trivia==

*In the [[List of Donkey Kong Country pre-release and unused content|pre-release version]] of ''Donkey Kong Country'', Jungle Hijinxs had a nighttime setting.

*The [[Game Boy Color]] and [[Game Boy Advance]] versions of this level both take place during mid-day instead of sunset/dusk, and the sky never changes. This was likely done due to technical limitations or so that players could navigate through the level without losing visibility (the Game Boy Color and original GBA had no backlight to make the screen brighter).

*The music for Jungle Hijinxs and in later jungle levels, "DK Island Swing," went on to become an iconic theme in the [[Donkey Kong (franchise)|''Donkey Kong'' franchise]],<ref>Batchelor, J. (April 9, 2017). [https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2017-04-05-from-slalom-to-snake-pass-the-musical-life-of-david-wise From Donkey Kong to Snake Pass: the music of David Wise]. ''Eurogamer''.
