'''Jungle Jeopardy''' is the nineteenth level in ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. It is the first level of the [[Great Ape Lakes]], located in the northwest region.  


Trudging along a dirt path, between ferns and tropical trees, [[Dixie Kong]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] must make their way through the rain forest to complete this level. They have to focus on crossing the numerous chasms safely, taking advantage of the occasional help provided by [[Barrel Cannon]]s and hovering [[Knik-Knak]]s. Sometimes, they need to use Konveyor Ropes, a mechanism that was introduced in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' in the aptly-named level [[Konveyor Rope Klash]]. These mobile tightropes can be used to cross several gaps, but Dixie and Kiddy must remain careful so as not to be stung by the aggressive [[Buzz (enemy)|Buzzes]] that roam the canopy. Fortunately, most of the time clambering around on these Konveyor Ropes is not necessary to proceed onwards, and the [[Kong]]s can choose to walk on land. Various species of enemies, such as [[Sneek]]s, [[Bristles]], [[Kobble]]s or [[Re-Koil]]s, hinder the Kongs' way; [[Knocka]]s are especially dangerous here, as they can easily push the simian adventurers into a nearby pit. [[Bazuka]]s also make their first appearance in this level, though only in a [[Bonus Level]].
Jungle Jeopardy is the first jungle level in the game. It introduces the Konveyor Ropes, which are horizontally strung ropes that move [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong|Kiddy]] to the right if they grab on them. The [[Kong]]s are required to move from some Konveyor Ropes to get across gaps; some other gaps can be crossed by a [[Barrel Cannon]] or jumping from a [[Knik-Knak]]. Many [[Buzz (enemy)|Buzz]]es are placed around the ropes. The Kongs encounter various enemies on the ground, including [[Sneek]]s, [[Bristles]], [[Knocka]]s, and [[Re-Koil]]s. The second [[Bonus Level]] marks the first in-game appearance of [[Bazuka]]s.

|Near the end of the level, the heroes find the [[Koin]], with the [[DK Coin]], in plain sight. They need to defeat him to get the special coin, though his shield protects him from most attacks. If the apes jump over a nearby Buzz, they can find a [[Steel Barrel|steel barrel]]. They should throw this barrel into the edge of the screen by the flagpole. It should bounce back and head over to the Koin. If the heroes make their way over to the left side of the [[Kremling]] before the barrel reaches him, the enemy becomes distracted and gets hit in the side by the keg. This defeats him, thus giving the Kongs their DK Coin.
|Near the end of the level, the Kongs encounter the [[Koin]]. If Dixie or Kiddy jump over a nearby Buzz, they can find a [[Steel Barrel]]. The active Kong must then throw the Steel Barrel to the edge of the screen by the Level Flag while staying to the left of Koin. The Steel Barrel bounces off the side of the screen and hits Koin from behind, defeating him and rewarding the [[DK Coin]] to the Kongs.

|'''Find the Token!'''<br>After the letter K, the apes grab onto the first set of Konveyor Ropes. Staying on the bottom rope of the parallel ropes, they should see a lone banana below them. Dropping down to the banana, they should land in a [[Bonus Barrel]] that takes them to a [[Bonus Level]]. There, they need to ride along more of the moving tightropes to collect stars. If they can safely make it to the end of the stage within twenty seconds, they can find a [[Bonus Coin]].
|'''Collect the Stars!'''<br>After the letter K, the Kongs encounter a pair of Konveyor Ropes. They must grab on the bottom rope and drop to a banana below them, which leads them directly down into the [[Bonus Barrel]]. In the level, the Kongs have 20 seconds to collect 10 [[Star (Donkey Kong Country series)|star]]s, which appear along the Konveyor Ropes in groups of three. The Kongs must avoid some Buzzes near the ropes. After Dixie or Kiddy collect every star, the [[Bonus Coin]] appears at the bottom-right corner.

|'''Find the Token!'''<br>Shortly after the Star Barrel, the heroes find a barrel to blast them across a large gap. Instead of going into it, they should jump into the gap next to it and move along the wall to land in a hidden barrel. This barrel blasts them through a very long chain of barrels, taking them through much of the level. Eventually, they reach a Bonus Barrel, which blasts them to a Bonus Level. There, they have to hop along a few crunching rock platforms to get over a few large abysses. Without getting hit by the armed Bazukas, they should be able to make it to the end of the stage in thirty seconds to claim the Bonus Coin.
|'''Find the Token!'''<br>From the first gap after the Star Barrel, the Kongs must go below a Barrel Cannon facing northeast and jump into one near the bottom. They are blasted through a long chain of Barrel Cannons, taking them through most of the level, until eventually entering the Bonus Barrel itself. In the Bonus Level, the Kongs have 30 seconds to obtain the Bonus Coin at the rightmost part of the area. They must jump across some temporary rock platforms and pass two Bazukas, the second of which is on the same platform as the Bonus Coin, right in front of it.
