Donkey Kong Island is first seen in the game ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. While [[Diddy Kong]] is guarding the [[banana hoard]] one night, a group of [[Kremling]]s led by a [[Klump]] (or a [[Krusha]] in the [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance remake]]) appear and steal all of the bananas. 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.

Every time the Kongs complete a world, the Gang-Plank Galleon slowly approaches Donkey Kong Island. It is not shown on the map until after the Kongs complete the first world, [[Kongo Jungle]]. By doing so, the Gang-Plank Galleon is faintly depicted in the horizon. By the time the Kongs complete Chimp Caverns, the Gang-Plank Galleon is docked right next to Donkey Kong Island, allowing the Kongs to go aboard.

The Donkey Kong Island map also shows a head icon of Donkey Kong located just before Kongo Jungle. At the start of the game, Donkey Kong walks from it to Kongo Jungle. It represents the starting point of the Kongs' adventures instead of a world itself. The head icon before Kongo Jungle is not shown in both the [[Game Boy Color]] and Game Boy Advance remakes.

In the {{file link|DKC DK Island.jpg|original render}} the in-game map is based on, there are a few locations that differ in position from the game itself, likely to make them easier to see in the game, or to adjust the order they are traveled to. Notably, [[Kremkroc Industries, Inc.]] is behind some trees in between [[Vine Valley (world)|Vine Valley]] and [[Gorilla Glacier]] in the render, but on top of the DK head's eyebrow ridges between Gorilla Glacier and [[Chimp Caverns]] in-game.

Donkey Kong Island appears only sparingly in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. In the SNES version, it can be seen from [[Crocodile Isle]] in the distance, specifically while on the maps of [[Gangplank Galleon (world)|Gangplank Galleon]] and [[K. Rool's Keep]]. These cameo appearances were removed in the [[Game Boy Advance]] version, as the maps are now viewed from a top-down perspective. However, the opening cinematic of the Game Boy Advance version takes place on a beach on Donkey Kong Island, where Donkey Kong retires to relax from the previous adventure before he is kidnapped and flown to Crocodile Isle by the Kremlings.

''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' featured a return of '''Kong Isle''' as the primary location of the game's levels, also featuring several different environments similar to its portrayal in previous games. The island is revealed to be part of an archipelago consisting of smaller islands known collectively as [[DK Isles]], several of which are accessible as a part of the story. At the beginning of the game, King K. Rool appears in a mechanized version of [[Crocodile Isle]] with a plan to destroy the homeland of the Kongs.

At the beginning of the game, King K. Rool appears in a mechanized version of [[Crocodile Isle (Donkey Kong 64)|Crocodile Isle]] with a plan to destroy the homeland of the Kongs.


Tired of his constant defeats at the hands of the Kong family, King K. Rool pilots his metal monstrosity into the archipelago with his new secret weapon: a giant, island-destroying laser cannon named the [[Blast-o-Matic]]. He plans to use the device immediately, but a malfunction caused by his incompetent underlings short-circuits his plans and delays the machine's activation. In a bid to distract Donkey Kong while they repair the Blast-o-Matic, the Kremlings invade the island in force and kidnap Donkey Kong's friends, stealing his Golden Bananas and blocking off several locations on the island in order to further impede the hero's progress. After another quest, Donkey Kong frees his friends and reclaims the banana hoard. With the help of the Blast-o-Matic's inventor, a crafty weasel named [[Snide]], the Kong family deactivates the doomsday weapon and saves their home from destruction.

It is worth noting that the island was smaller in size in this game than in previous installments, although this is likely due to technical issues, such as making it easier to roam the island. The vast locations accessible through portals on the island are different areas of Kong Isle, and what is seen on the surface is not the entire landmass. Since the events of this game, Kong Isle has been missing a boulder in its right ear, as it had been blown off by [[K. Lumsy]].

The island makes yet another appearance in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]'', once again acting as the main location. In its most recent appearance, the Kong family is featured much less prominently as the main population of the island, with only DK, Diddy, and Cranky making full appearances in the game. Several new creatures are also shown to make their home on Donkey Kong Island in this game which were previously unseen in the series. When seen, the island is also under attack by a new antagonist group known as the [[Tiki Tak Tribe]], who attach themselves to other creatures to take control of their hosts. Much like the Kremling Krew before them, these new enemies are eventually defeated by Kong family and removed from the island.

Strangely, the mountains of Donkey Kong Island do not resemble Donkey Kong's head in this game, but are instead ordinary mountains. However, the worlds and their locations are mostly the same as in ''Donkey Kong Country''.

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 palace. 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 [[Kong army]] to help them save the Mushroom Kingdom from [[Bowser]]. After being transported by the [[Driver (The Super Mario Bros. Movie)|driver]] 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.

The [[Kong]] family are the governing species of the island. Donkey Kong is the leader of the clan, and the other Kongs often turn to him for leadership. The ''[[Donkey Kong Country (television series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' cartoon states that Donkey Kong has not yet become the ruler of Donkey Kong Island, but is slated to be its future ruler. [[Cranky Kong]] appears to be the patriarch of the family, and his main role is to give advice and orders to the Kongs. A lot of Donkey Kong Island's architecture is themed after the Kongs.

The [[Kremling]]s are another prevalent species on Donkey Kong Island and the main rivals of the Kong family. The Kremlings have established several outposts and an industrial plant known as [[Kremkroc Industries, Inc.]] The ancient temples in [[Monkey Mines]] and [[Vine Valley (world)|Vine Valley]] depict visages of Kremlings, suggesting that they constructed the temples. Many other species on Donkey Kong Island are enemies to the Kongs, such as [[Gnawty|Gnawties]], [[Zinger]]s, and [[Necky]]s.

Several other groups have taken over Donkey Kong Island. During the events of ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'', the [[Tiki Tak Tribe]] and the [[Snowmads]] respectively have represented significant parts of the population, the former planting several bases of operations and the latter claiming it as their territory. The Kongs eventually exiled each group from Donkey Kong Island.

Starting with ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'', the fauna and geography of Donkey Kong Island has been changed. There is also a larger variety, with groups of animals living in select habitats. The [[Jungle (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Jungle]] is mainly inhabited by bird species such as [[Awk]]s and [[Rawk]]s, as well as [[Frogoon]]s, while the [[Beach]] is occupied by crustaceans like [[Snippys]] and [[Pinchly]]s. The [[Cave]] hosts a population of [[Squeekly]]s and is also home to a large demographic of sapient [[Mole Miner]]s. The [[Forest (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Forest]] commonly houses spider-based creatures such as [[Skittler]]s and [[muncher (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|muncher]]s, but [[Wiggle]]s are also present.

The species that are closer to the summit have a less organic appearance. The [[Cliff (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Cliff]] area of the island is populated by live dinosaur skeletons, although fossils inlaid within the rocks hint at prehistoric inhabitants such as enormous {{wp|trilobite}} lookalikes, gastropods, {{wp|Placodermi|placoderm fish}}, and {{wp|eurypterid}}s, which suggest that Donkey Kong Island was once underwater from the Cliff beneath. The [[Factory (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Factory]] has various types of robots, and the [[Volcano]] typically contains fire-based creatures such as [[Char-Char]]s and [[leaping flame]]s.

*'''Prima Official Game Guide:''' ''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.''<ref>{{cite|language=en-us|page=16|date=November 21, 2010|publisher=Prima Games|title=''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' Prima Official Strategy Guide|author=Knight, Michael|978-0-307-47102-4}}</ref>
