'''Jungle Jinx''' is the first level of the [[Lost World (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Lost World]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. It can be accessed via [[Klubba's Kiosk]] in [[Crocodile Cauldron]] in ''Diddy's Kong Quest'', as well as next to [[Gloomy Gulch]] in ''Donkey Kong Land 2''.

This jungle level has spikes all over the place, and giant [[tire]]s rolling out of control that can hurt [[Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong]]. If the [[Kong]]s plan their moves, they'll realize that they can bounce atop the tires, and use them as stepping stones to cross the spikes, in addition to reaching higher ground. [[Klampon]]s, [[Kutlass]], [[Zinger]]s, [[Flitter]]s and [[Spiny (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Spinys]] can be found here.

 

In ''Donkey Kong Land 2'', the area is more flattened, and it features absolutely no tires, likely due to system limitations for the [[Game Boy]]. Enemies in this version of the level include [[Klampon]]s, [[Klobber]]s, [[Kruncha]]s, [[Zinger]]s, [[Neek]]s, [[Spiny (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Spinys]], [[Flitter]]s, and a single [[Kaboing]].

 

Halfway through the level, the monkeys will have to travel over the path and leap over another small gap. After that, they must dodge some enemies, including the quick foe, Kutlass. Then, they need to bounce off of several tire, and get over rows of jagged spikes sticking out of the ground. From there, the monkeys must defeat a couple of Klampons, and soon hop down another ledge. A tire will sweep them away from the ground, though, but also save them from possibly landing on the thorny spikes. The Kongs have to jump over tires and other hazards, until they meet up with a huge abyss. This time, there are no tires to help them, so they must follow the banana trail downwards, while trying to stay between the Zingers nearby. They will land into some barrels. With good aim, the heroes should shoot carefully to all the barrels and soon get back up to the other side. Here, they need to bounce off of more tire to get over a few spikes, and then another gap. After that, the monkeys must face their biggest challenge yet. They will have to get over many spikes, using several tires. While doing this, they need to also watch out for the gaps below them, and do their best not to fall in one. Finally, they should make it safely to the other end of the area, and travel more eastward. Once they pass a few enemies and abysses, the heroes will eventually find the End of Level Target. When they hit it, they will be able to exit the level.

When they begin the level, the Kongs must travel east and dodge two Klampons. Then, they need to hop over a rather wide abyss, and drop down a couple ledges. After that, the monkeys have to walk across the path and avoid some more enemies, including the mighty Krunchas. From there, they must bounce off of a Klobber's head to reach a high ledge, and jump over some spikes. They should continue forward and avoid foes, until they get to a large abyss. They must cross it by using a few hooks, but while watching out for a nearby Zinger. After that, they need to keep going and get across three small gaps, followed by another one, which must be crossed with the aid of a Flitter flying around, or a well-timed jump. After dropping down a high ledge, Diddy and Dixie must use hooks to climb up several ledges, and then encounter the Star Barrel.

At this point, the heroes need to continue east and cross a wide abyss with a good jump. Then, they must keep going forward and jump over another gap, which has a Zinger in the center of it. Once they get over this gap, they need to walk along the jungle path, where they'll find yet another abyss. The group should hop across this, and then travel eastward more. Eventually, they will have to drop down a ledge again and cross three wide gaps, while also dodging Zinger and Klampons. Once past this area, they need to avoid more foes through the crazy jungle. As they move on, the heroes will have to jump over two small abysses, and watch out for Zingers, Klobbers, and even a Kruncha. Soon, they will come up to an abyss, although a long log acts as a bridge to help them cross. The Kongs should carefully, cross and look out for the hazards around them, such as Zingers. After this, though, they will find a spring, and it will bounce them out of the level.

Before the Star Barrel, the Kongs should investigate the abyss behind the Flitter. They will see the letter O, which they must roll to, and then jump to the left to land into the [[Bonus Barrel]]. In it's [[Bonus Level]], the heroes needs to use their [[Team Up]] move to throw a monkeys into the above Flitters. They must beware, though, as red Zingers orbit those foes, and can end the Bonus Stage with one touch. When all the Flitters are beat, the [[DK Coin]] will appear, instead of the usually obtained [[Kremkoin]].

====Golden Feather (Game Boy Advance Only)====

To get the [[Golden Feather]], the Kongs must get slightly past the Star Barrel, where they will meet a Kutlass. Then, they need to roll into the pit to the right, and safely jump out. As they do this, they should grab the feather, watching out for the sharp spikes around them, and even the tires that can push them off track.

====Photograph (Game Boy Advance Only)====

After passing the letter K, the Kongs should make their way past a group of four Spinies. To the right of these foes is a pit containing two [[Dixie Barrel]]s. Dixie Kong, the only monkey who can use these barrels, must jump into the nearest Dixie Barrel to be shot to the next. While in mid-air, she is shot to the [[photograph]], which can be used for the Kongs' scrapbook.

===''Donkey Kong Land 2''===

Near the beginning of the level, the monkeys must cling onto a few hooks to cross an abyss, while avoiding a Zinger lurking around. They should see a trail of bananas leading under on one of the hooks, and then let go to follow it. After that, they need to travel east and defeat a few enemies, until they finally reach the Bonus Barrel, leading to the Bonus Level. Here, the heroes must cross a few gaps and avoid enemies to find the DK Coin at the end of the stage. There are also sharp spikes they have to watch out for, or otherwise leave the Bonus Level empty-handed.

==Trivia==

*In the Japanese version of ''Donkey Kong Land 2'', Jungle Jinx is called '''Tire Jungle''' (タイヤ ジャングル), although the level does not contain any tires at all, unlike the ''Donkey Kong Country 2'' version.
