The '''Kongo Jungle''' is a vast jungle covering a large area of [[Donkey Kong Island]], located at the foot of the [[Monkey Mountains]]. It is generally depicted as the place where the [[Kong]]s reside.

==History==
===''Donkey Kong'' series===
[[Image:KongoJungle.png|thumb|left|The first half of '''Kongo Jungle'''.]]
It is the first area in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' and is where [[Donkey Kong]]'s house is located, as well as his precious [[Banana Hoard]], which is often stolen by the [[Kremlings]]. The area is quite pleasant, possessing a vast amount of jungle and some rocky terrain. A large lake is also located in the area. The boss of Kongo Jungle is a giant [[Gnawty]] aptly named [[Very Gnawty]].

The area where [[Donkey Kong's Treehouse]] is located in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' could possibly be either Kongo Jungle or a portion of it. Also, the area [[Jungle Japes]] in ''Donkey Kong 64'' bears an extreme resemblance to Kongo Jungle.

=== Levels ===
==== Jungle Hijinxs ====
{{main|Jungle Hijinxs (Donkey Kong Country)}}
The first area in the Kongo Jungle is a simple forest level, featuring [[Necky|Neckies]], Gnawties, [[Klaptrap]]s, and [[Klump]]s. [[Rambi the Rhinoceros]] makes his first appearance in this level, and he can help the Kongs reach a [[Bonus Area]]. At the beginning of the level, Donkey Kong and [[Diddy Kong]] can view the prized Banana Hoard.

==== Ropey Rampage ====
{{main|Ropey Rampage}}
This level is filled with ropes, and the Kongs must use them to travel across bottomless pits. Some [[K-O-N-G Letters]] can be found by falling off of ropes into secret barrels. The main enemies here are [[Zinger]] and [[Army|Armies]], in their first appearances, but [[Kritter]]s and [[Klaptrap]]s also appear as well.

==== Reptile Rumble ====

{{main|Coral Capers}}
In the first underwater level of the game, two [[Enguarde the Swordfish]]es appear to help out the Kongs. No Bonus Areas can be found in this level. Enemies here include [[Bitesize]]s, [[Chomp]]s, [[Chomps Jr.]], [[Croctopus|Croctopi]], and [[Clambo]]s, all making their first appearance.

==== Barrel Cannon Canyon ====
{{main|Barrel Cannon Canyon}}
This level takes place high up in the trees, and, hence the name, the Kongs will need to use many [[Barrel Cannon]]s to advance. Four different types of [[Kritter]]s appear here, red, purple, green, and blue. Other enemies include Armies and yellow and red Zingers.

[[File:Luigi'sKongoJungle.png|thumb|left|The ''Super Smash Bros.'' stage, Kongo Jungle, as depicted in the remake, ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''.]]
Kongo Jungle (incorrectly spelled '''Congo Jungle''') appears as one of the arenas in the game ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' The Kongo Jungle stage is made out of a large wooden platform with several smaller, sometimes floating ones around it. There is also a vast jungle in the background of the arena and a [[Barrel Cannon]] underneath the arena.

====''Super Smash Bros. Melee''====
[[Image:Melee Kongo Jungle.jpg|thumb|right|The ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' stage.]]
In ''Super Smash Bros.'' sequel, ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', another Kongo Jungle stage was introduced. This Kongo Jungle stage is constructed out of logs strewn together, which are sitting on rocks jutting out of a waterfall. In the background of this stage is a vast jungle along with what appears to be [[Donkey Kong's Treehouse]].

Occasionally, a [[Klaptrap]] will come along on the waterfall, and sometimes a log, which can be used as a platform.  Also, in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' is the old version of Kongo Jungle from the previous ''Super Smash Bros.'' game. The old version of Kongo Jungle can be unlocked by surviving Fifteen-Minute Melee. The music in the Melee Kongo Jungle was the [[DK Rap]] from ''Donkey Kong 64''.

In Adventure Mode, Kongo Jungle stars in ''Stage 2: Kongo Jungle''. In it, the player has to battle two miniature [[Donkey Kong]]s. They are easier to knock off the stage, but they gang up on the player. Once beating, the player moves onto the second half, [[Jungle Japes]], where the player must battle a Giant Donkey Kong.

====''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''====
The music from Melee Kongo Jungle (erroneously named '''Kong Jungle''') does return as a music pick for the Jungle Japes stage, which also returned in this game.

===''Donkey Kong Country'' television series===
In the [[Donkey Kong Country (television series)|''Donkey Kong'' TV series]], Kongo Jungle appeared as the home for the Kongs much [[Donkey Kong Country|the game with the same name]].
