Editing 3DS DK Jungle

Once inside the Golden Temple, racers make a right turn and a left-hand U-turn, before approaching an incline leading to a split path that goes past the [[Golden Banana]]. Just before the temple's exit, there is a short [[Glide Ramp]] that sends drivers gliding over a [[Underwater driving|lake]] flanked by several [[Screaming Pillar]]s. These Pillars scream every once in a while, shooting out air to blow back hang-gliding players. The underwater route is slightly twisty. Occasionally appearing in the background of the course in this section is [[Tiki Pilot]]'s airship-like craft from ''Donkey Kong Country Returns''. Finally, racers land and make a left turn back to the finish line, with a split path available; the longer route has additional [[coin]]s and is higher in elevation.

DK Jungle makes its classic course debut in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as the fourth and last race of the [[Banana Cup]]. The track map is rotated 75° clockwise. Some objects are changed and replaced;  the Barrel at the right of the start is now on the left, and the Regular Screaming Pillars have been replaced by [[Screaming Pillar (big)|their big variant]], which exhale smoke while they are screaming. The starting banner has also been replaced, and the [[Tiki Goon]]s have had their movement speed severely reduced. A number of lit torches have been added inside the Golden Temple. The only changes made to the track layout are that the U-turn inside the Golden Temple is now slanted upward and acts as an anti-gravity section, consequently creating a drop-off at the Golden Banana allowing drivers to do an aerial trick; the first left turn before the finish line also has a trickable gap in it now. It is the only course in the Banana Cup to have anti-gravity. Like {{classic link|Wii|Mushroom Gorge}}, {{classic link|Wii|Grumble Volcano}}, and {{classic link|3DS|Neo Bowser City}}, the music is kept the same, but with slightly enhanced bit depth.

Notably, the course feature in the foreground of the course's icon (in this case, DK's Tree House) differs from the other courses in the base game as it is positioned on the left side (right side in Mirror Mode). When accounting for DLC courses, including those in the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]'', it is still one of only five courses to do so, the others being {{classic link|GBA|Cheese Land}}, [[Wild Woods]], {{classic link|3DS|Neo Bowser City}}, and [[Ninja Hideaway]] (six if [[Animal Crossing]] is counted, as the Spring quarter of the icon depicts the foreground feature on the left as well).

==Notes==

**It is also one of the only courses to use a different, shorter intro for its final lap music, with this distinction being shared with [[3DS Rock Rock Mountain|Rock Rock Mountain]] in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' and [[Toad Harbor]], [[Mute City]], {{classic link|GBA|Ribbon Road}}, and {{classic link|SNES|Bowser Castle 3}} in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''.
