'''DK's Jungle Parkway''' is a race course in the [[Special Cup]] of ''[[Mario Kart 64]]''.  It is [[Donkey Kong]]'s home track in the game. When racers go offcourse, "restless natives", as the instruction booklet calls them, throw stones at them.  Who these "natives" are is unknown.  A cruise boat named Mario floats around the river in the jungle.

The race starts off along the shoreline of the river which leads to a massive jump across the river. Players then follow the winding dirt path to a narrow wooden bridge at the edge of a waterfall. The bridge leads to a small cave, which ends at the start of the track.

The course was remade in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', with some differences. Characters are now riding the cruise boat, the water is orange instead of blue, and the jungle has been pushed back eliminating the "natives". Also the island in the middle of the river now has [[Pianta]]s on it, unlike the Nintendo 64 version.

The N64 version has a glitch where it is possible to jump through the corner in the cave, resulting in as little as a 20 second race if done three times. This was not fixed in the [[Virtual Console]] release.

It reappears as a [[classic course]] in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' as the third course of the [[Leaf Cup]].

+'''DK's Jungle Parkway''' is a race course in the [[Special Cup]] of ''[[Mario Kart 64]]''.  It is [[Donkey Kong]]'s home track in the game.

A cruise boat named Mario floats around the river in the jungle.
-===Course layout===
-[[File:DKs Jungle Parkway.png|thumb|left|The paddle steamer]]
-The course begins on a dirt road with grass on both sides of the track; if racers go into the grass at any point along the course, unseen "restless natives," as the instruction booklet calls them, throw [[coconut]]s (which may actually be {{wp|Cucumis metuliferus|horned melons}}) at them. There is first a right turn followed by another, far more gradual right turn. Along the gradual turn there is a large river to the left of the track, which has a large paddle steamer with "[[Mario]]" written on it cruising around. Here racers also encounter the first set of [[Item Box]]es. They then continue to turn right as they make a 270° loop up to a ramp with a large [[Dash Panel|Dash Zone]]. As racers go off the ramp they cross the river. When racers land, they take a sharp left turn; the turn can be cut off if racers aim to the left while going off the prior ramp, so long as they do not fall into the river. After the left turn there is a brief straight along the river with another item set, followed by a right turn and another left turn. There is then another brief straight followed by another left turn, another item set, and a U-turn to the right. Racers then take a gradual U-turn to the left and encounter another item set followed by a very narrow wooden bridge; the bridge takes them over the river from before but has ropes on both sides that prevent racers from falling off. After the bridge, racers enter a cave where there is a right turn followed by a left U-turn. There is then the cave exit immediately followed by the finish line.
-===Shortcuts===
+The race starts off along the shoreline of the river which leads to a massive jump across the river. Players then follow the winding dirt path to a narrow wooden bridge at the edge of a waterfall. The bridge leads to a small cave, which ends at the start of the track.
-There is a notable shortcut at the end of the track. By driving through the off-road in the cave, the player can cut off the final turn. Additional Item Boxes can also be found in this off-road.
-===Glitches===
+The course was remade in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', with some differences. Characters are now riding the cruise boat, the water is orange instead of blue, and the jungle has been pushed back eliminating the "natives". Also the island in the middle of the river now has [[Pianta]]s on it, unlike the Nintendo 64 version.
-The original version has a glitch where it is possible to jump through the corner in the cave, resulting in as little as a 20-second race if done three times. This was not fixed in the [[Virtual Console]] release of ''Mario Kart 64''.

-[[File:D.K.'s Jungle Parkway.png|thumb|right|250px|{{classic|N64|DK's Jungle Parkway}} as it appears in ''Mario Kart Wii''.]]
-DK's Jungle Parkway makes its classic course debut in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' as the third race of the [[Leaf Cup]]. In that version, the [[Hammer Bro]]s., [[Toad (species)|Toad]]s, [[Goomba]]s, and [[Shy Guy]]s ride the paddle steamer (only in single-player mode), the water is yellowish-orange instead of blue (to reflect the color of the sunset sky), and the jungle has been pushed back, with the coconuts that usually hit the player being removed. Another change is that inside the cave is mud, which slows down racers that try to cross it, unless they use a [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]], [[Golden Dash Mushroom|Golden Mushroom]], [[Super Star|Star]], or [[Mega Mushroom]] to cut ahead without slowing down. The [[Dash Panel]] at the jump has been modified. In the original N64 version, if the player is shrunk by [[Lightning]] when approaching the jump, it is possible for the player not to make it over the river. In this version, the Dash Panel acts similarly to the [[Barrel Cannon]], where the player always makes it across, even when shrunk, and also forces the drivers to go straight and prevents them from cutting ahead and/or going anywhere else. Also, the [[Arrow Sign]]s are now brown with blue arrows instead of cream with red arrows. The course map has been rotated 90° counterclockwise.
-This is one of two tracks in ''Mario Kart Wii'', the other being {{classic-link|SNES|Mario Circuit 3}}, where it is impossible to do a [[Jump Boost|trick]] since there are no trick ramps.
-===Tournaments===
-[[File:TournamentAugust1.jpg|thumb|left|The tournament]]
-[[List of Mario Kart Wii tournaments#August 2008 Tournament 1|August 2008's first tournament]] required players to complete a GP race on DK's Jungle Parkway against [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]], who ride on the [[Phantom (bike)|Phantom]] and [[Sneakster]] respectively. Both opponents have access to infinite Bananas, but players can still make use of Item Boxes; the second and third sets will always contain Green Shells, and the first and last sets will always contain Triple Green Shells. This tournament was later repeated as the second tournament of December 2009.

-==Trivia==
-*When played on the [[Nintendo 64]], this course has a noticeable drop in framerate caused by the boat and waterfall. To counteract this, a code is enabled when split screen is in play which changes the amount of in-game time elapsed per input frame to prevent gameplay from moving much slower.<ref>{{cite|url=tasvideos.org/GameResources/N64/MarioKart64/Patches|title=GameResources/N64/MarioKart64/Patches|publisher=TASVideos|language=en|accessdate=July 5, 2024}}</ref>
-**This results in an unintended side effect when played on certain emulators (including the [[Wii]] [[Virtual Console]] and IQue releases), as the lag is not present due to improved hardware but the frame scaling code is still enabled, causing the game to run faster than normal when played in split screen mode. The [[Wii U]] Virtual Console release corrected this by removing the frame scaling code.
-*In ''Mario Kart Wii'', if the player uses the rearview mirror to look back, the torches inside the cave can be seen lighting up again.
