DK's Tree House is where [[Donkey Kong]] lives. It was originally portrayed as a wooden cabin perched on top of a tree trunk, but more recent stances picture it as a {{wp|rondavel}} hut raised on stilts high above the ground.

Incidentally, Donkey Kong was shown to live in a treehouse in ''[[Captain N: The Game Master]]'', a show created a few years before ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' was released.
 
Outside of the ''[[Donkey Kong (franchise)|Donkey Kong]]'' franchise, the tree house has become a recurring backdrop element in scenarios that involve Donkey Kong.

[[File:DK's Treehouse DKC original.png|thumb|The treehouse's first appearance in ''Donkey Kong Country'']]
DK's Tree House first appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', where it appears as a simple-looking wooden shack from the outside. DK's Tree House appears on both the [[Donkey Kong Island]] map and the [[Kongo Jungle]] map. DK's Tree House directly appears at the start of the first level, [[Jungle Hijinxs (Donkey Kong Country)|Jungle Hijinxs]], and upon starting the level, Donkey Kong automatically launches out of the treehouse.
Donkey Kong's Treehouse first appears in ''Donkey Kong Country''. It looks like a simple-looking wooden shack from the outside, and it can be seen on both the Donkey Kong Island map and the [[Kongo Jungle]] map. Donkey Kong's Treehouse also appears within [[Jungle Hijinxs (Donkey Kong Country)|Jungle Hijinxs]], which always begins with Donkey Kong launching out of the treehouse. It is directly above the banana cave, and there are a few steps for going up to the treehouse itself. The [[Cranky's Cabin]] theme plays in the background while inside of Donkey Kong's Treehouse. The interior layout of Donkey Kong's Treehouse includes a bed, a picture of two sailboats above it, a portrait of [[Candy Kong]] next to the door, a table with a blue vase containing flowers, discarded banana peels, and a half tire stuck into the ground that can be bounced on to collect the [[Red Balloon]] floating above in place. Donkey Kong's Treehouse can be entered only once during each playthrough of Jungle Hijinxs.


DK's Tree House is designed after a regular cabin pattern, being constructed of wooden planks in its entirety. It is directly above the banana cave, and DK's Tree House has a few steps for going up to the treehouse itself. DK's Tree House is decorated like a home; it has a bed, a picture of two sailboats above it, a portrait of [[Candy Kong|Candy]] next to the door, a table with a blue vase containing flowers, and banana peels scattered around. A beach ball and a two large tires also appear in the background. An official artwork shows [[Donkey Kong]] inside a tire swing outside of DK's Tree House; the tire swing does not appear in the game.
In the [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Advance)|second remake]], the [[Bonus Room Blitz]] theme plays instead. There is a [[photograph]] is hidden behind the bunch of bananas, and it depicts a group picture of Donkey Kong and [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] swinging from a rope on the eleventh page of the [[Scrapbook (Donkey Kong Country series)|scrapbook]]. After defeating [[Really Gnawty]], if Donkey Kong and Diddy enter the treehouse, they encounter [[Very Gnawty]] inside. In doing so, Very Gnawty turns around and hops out of the treehouse, an event that occurs only once per save file. The treehouse interior was redesigned to show more discarded items lying on the floor, and the portrait of Candy, a table with a vase, and the bed now all appear against a wall straight across from the entrance.
 
{{br}}
DK's Tree House does not have much of a role, although the Kongs can bounce from half of a [[tire (object)|tire]] on the ground to collect a [[Red Balloon]] above. The Kongs are only able to enter DK's Tree House one time for each time they play Jungle Hijinxs.
 
In the [[Game Boy Advance]] version, the interior layout for DK's Tree House is different. There are more items scattered on the floor. The portrait of Candy Kong, a table with a vase, and the bed are against a wall straight across from the entrance, rather than at the top-left corner. The vase on the table is light green and does not have flowers in it. A framed picture reading "HOME SWEET HOME" is in the background. A large bunch of bananas is in the foreground.
 
The Kongs can re-enter DK's Tree House more than once for each time they play Jungle Hijinxs; however, once the Kongs collect the Red Balloon, it does not reappear for the rest of the game. A [[photograph]] is hidden behind the bunch of bananas, and it depicts a group picture of Donkey Kong and Diddy swinging from a rope in the eleventh page of the [[scrapbook]].
 
After defeating [[Really Gnawty]], if Donkey Kong and Diddy enter DK's Tree House, they encounter [[Very Gnawty]] inside. It turns around at the Kongs, pants, and hops out of the house in fright. This only occurs once per save file.
 
====''Donkey Kong 64''====
[[File:DKT64.png|thumb|200px|Donkey Kong inside his Tree House in ''Donkey Kong 64'']]
DK's Tree House makes its second appearance in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' as the starting location of the game. It is located within [[Kong Isle]] of [[DK Isles]].
 
DK's Tree House looks entirely different than in ''Donkey Kong Country''. It has a leaf hammock instead of a bed. It also has objects from earlier ''Donkey Kong'' games such as [[Cranky Kong]]'s phonograph from ''Donkey Kong Country'' and a red girder from the original ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'' arcade game. There are several [[barrel]]s and [[crate]]s, as well as banana peels lying on the ground. DK's Tree House still has a framed picture of Candy. A red mat with the DK emblem is on the ground, and there is a framed photograph of a dolphin (possibly a reference to the [[Nintendo GameCube]], which was code named "Dolphin" at the time). Instead of steps, the Kongs can use a palm tree to climb up into the treehouse.
 
DK's Tree House appears in the opening cutscene, where Donkey Kong is exercising as he listens to an instrumental [[DK Rap]] on a boombox. [[Squawks the Parrot|Squawks]] appears and alerts Donkey Kong of [[King K. Rool]]'s plans to destroy DK Isles. DK's Tree House does not have any other role in the game.
 
Early screenshots of the game showed that there was going to be a shower stall in DK's Tree House with a poster of [[Banjo]] and Kazooie on it. The shower and posters were removed in the final version of the game.
 
====''Diddy Kong Pilot'' (2003)====
In the canceled 2003 version of ''[[Diddy Kong Pilot (2003)|Diddy Kong Pilot]]'', DK's Tree House makes a cameo appearance in the background of jungle-themed races.


====''Donkey Kong Country 3'' (Game Boy Advance)====
====''Donkey Kong Country 3'' (Game Boy Advance)====
The interior of DK's Tree House is the background of the ending credits in the [[Game Boy Advance]] version of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!|Donkey Kong Country 3]]''. The area is considerably tidier and lacks the Candy Kong portrait. A tire swing is also inside the house.
The interior of the treehouse is used as the background of the ending credits in the remake of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Donkey Kong Country 3]]''. A tire swing can be seen in the treehouse, though the portrait of Candy was not retained, and random objects are not lying all over the ground.
 
====''Diddy Kong Racing DS''====
[[File:DK's Tree House DKRDS intro.png|thumb|Diddy sitting outside of DK's Tree House in the intro for ''Diddy Kong Racing DS'']]
Donkey Kong's Treehouse briefly appears during the opening cutscene of ''[[Diddy Kong Racing DS]]''. Diddy is sitting outside the treehouse, and [[Squawks the Parrot|Squawks]] gives a letter to him  written by [[Timber]]. In the letter, Timber asks for Diddy's help to kick out [[Wizpig]] from [[Timber's Island]]. DK's Tree House appears to have an entirely empty interior, and unlike other games, a wooden ladder is connected to DK's Tree House.

DK's Tree House reappears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]''.
DK's Tree House is a location in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]''. It first appears in the opening. Diddy jumps out of the window to check on the [[banana]]s from the [[banana hoard]], only to realize that they are stolen. When Donkey Kong goes out on the deck to hear what Diddy is complaining about, he gets approached by [[Tiki Tak Tribe|Kalimba]], causing him to step back into the tree house. Kalimba tries to hypnotize Donkey Kong, but it is unsuccessful. The first level, [[Jungle Hijinxs (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Jungle Hijinxs]], starts right after the opening sequence, and every time the Kongs start the level, they must repeatedly punch Kalimba. After Kalimba is hit enough times, Donkey Kong kicks down the wooden front door and kicks the Tiki into the bushes. If the Kongs enter DK's Tree House, they can obtain a [[Red Balloon]] inside.

When Donkey Kong goes out on the deck to hear what Diddy is complaining about, Kalimba [[Tiki Tak Tribe|tiki]] approaches Donkey Kong, who steps back into the treehouse.

If the Kongs enter DK's Tree House, they can obtain a [[Red Balloon]] inside.
The tree house's appearance has changed again, as it is now smaller, its walls are made of bamboo, it has a round straw roof sustained by wooden girders, and it has small doors and windows framed with wood. It has a wooden deck wrapping around its exterior and a banner of the word "KONG". The tree house is elevated above the ground by long, wooden rods. Near the ground is a smaller wooden deck with a tire, and bouncing on it allows the [[Kong]]s to reach the deck. The banana hoard is relocated to a small alcove under the tree house.

The interior of DK's Tree House still slightly maintains the furniture from ''Donkey Kong 64'', such as the boombox, hammock, and several banana peels. Two of Donkey Kong's ties are hanging from the wooden girders suspending the roof. There is also a stack of spare tires, two framed pictures, a boombox, and a television which, if [[Ground Pound]]ed, shows the title screen (as well as playing the respective music). In ''Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D'', the Japanese version's title screen appears to be shown instead.

DK's Tree House reappears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' and its Nintendo Switch [[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Nintendo Switch)|port]], with the same appearance as ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' except without a front door and some wooden posts on the front porch. The interior has a few additions, and one of the framed pictures on the wall is revealed to be a photograph of DK and Diddy and there a rug on the floor. There is a wooden table and a set of chairs, along with a set of four mugs that resemble small barrels, each with a different symbol representing which Kong it belongs to.

In the opening cutscene, [[Donkey Kong]], [[Diddy Kong]], [[Dixie Kong]], and [[Cranky Kong]] are sitting around a table, celebrating Donkey Kong's birthday. Just before Donkey Kong eats a [[banana]], a balloon floats outside the tree house and away from [[Donkey Kong Island]]. The balloon is noticed by a [[Pointy Tucks]], who then looks at the island from afar on a boat with other [[Snowmads]]. Upon seeing the tree house, the Pointy Tucks panics and notifies its leader, [[Lord Fredrik]]. Fredrik then uses the [[Horn (object)|horn]] to create an [[ice dragon]] to cover the island in snow. A snowflake blows into DK's Tree House and douses the birthday candle just before Donkey Kong can blow it out. The four Kongs go outside DK's Tree House to investigate, and then a strong wind blows them away to the [[Lost Mangroves]].

DK's Tree House also appears in the ''[[Donkey Kong Country (television series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' television series, where it is relatively unchanged except for an elevator that is powered by a strong punch. Sometimes Donkey Kong punches the button too hard, making the elevator slam on entry and startling anyone inside of it. The Tree House additionally appears to be in a savanna, rather than a deep rainforest.

DK's Tree House,[1] or Donkey Kong’s Treehouse,[2] is a home located in the jungle portion of Donkey Kong Island. The house is built above the banana cave, where the Kongs keep their stash of bananas. DK's Tree House is where Donkey Kong lives. It was originally portrayed as a wooden cabin perched on top of a tree trunk, but more recent stances picture it as a rondavel hut raised on stilts high above the ground. The house is generally furnished with a television, a bed or hammock, a rug, and various pictures on walls. The treehouse is also commonly associated with tires, appearing both in and around it as simple furniture, as a swing or as a means of bouncing up to the house. Incidentally, Donkey Kong was shown to live in a treehouse in Captain N: The Game Master, a show created a few years before Donkey Kong Country was released.

Nintendo of America's product development division, Treehouse, is codenamed after Donkey Kong's residence.[3]

History

Donkey Kong Country series

Donkey Kong Country

The treehouse's first appearance in Donkey Kong Country

Donkey Kong's Treehouse first appears in Donkey Kong Country. It looks like a simple-looking wooden shack from the outside, and it can be seen on both the Donkey Kong Island map and the Kongo Jungle map. Donkey Kong's Treehouse also appears within Jungle Hijinxs, which always begins with Donkey Kong launching out of the treehouse. It is directly above the banana cave, and there are a few steps for going up to the treehouse itself. The Cranky's Cabin theme plays in the background while inside of Donkey Kong's Treehouse. The interior layout of Donkey Kong's Treehouse includes a bed, a picture of two sailboats above it, a portrait of Candy Kong next to the door, a table with a blue vase containing flowers, discarded banana peels, and a half tire stuck into the ground that can be bounced on to collect the Red Balloon floating above in place. Donkey Kong's Treehouse can be entered only once during each playthrough of Jungle Hijinxs.

In the second remake, the Bonus Room Blitz theme plays instead. There is a photograph is hidden behind the bunch of bananas, and it depicts a group picture of Donkey Kong and Diddy swinging from a rope on the eleventh page of the scrapbook. After defeating Really Gnawty, if Donkey Kong and Diddy enter the treehouse, they encounter Very Gnawty inside. In doing so, Very Gnawty turns around and hops out of the treehouse, an event that occurs only once per save file. The treehouse interior was redesigned to show more discarded items lying on the floor, and the portrait of Candy, a table with a vase, and the bed now all appear against a wall straight across from the entrance.

Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)

The interior of the treehouse is used as the background of the ending credits in the remake of Donkey Kong Country 3. A tire swing can be seen in the treehouse, though the portrait of Candy was not retained, and random objects are not lying all over the ground.

Donkey Kong Country Returns

DK's Tree House is a location in Donkey Kong Country Returns and Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D. It first appears in the opening. Diddy jumps out of the window to check on the bananas from the banana hoard, only to realize that they are stolen. When Donkey Kong goes out on the deck to hear what Diddy is complaining about, he gets approached by Kalimba, causing him to step back into the tree house. Kalimba tries to hypnotize Donkey Kong, but it is unsuccessful. The first level, Jungle Hijinxs, starts right after the opening sequence, and every time the Kongs start the level, they must repeatedly punch Kalimba. After Kalimba is hit enough times, Donkey Kong kicks down the wooden front door and kicks the Tiki into the bushes. If the Kongs enter DK's Tree House, they can obtain a Red Balloon inside.

The tree house's appearance has changed again, as it is now smaller, its walls are made of bamboo, it has a round straw roof sustained by wooden girders, and it has small doors and windows framed with wood. It has a wooden deck wrapping around its exterior and a banner of the word "KONG". The tree house is elevated above the ground by long, wooden rods. Near the ground is a smaller wooden deck with a tire, and bouncing on it allows the Kongs to reach the deck. The banana hoard is relocated to a small alcove under the tree house.

The interior of DK's Tree House still slightly maintains the furniture from Donkey Kong 64, such as the boombox, hammock, and several banana peels. Two of Donkey Kong's ties are hanging from the wooden girders suspending the roof. There is also a stack of spare tires, two framed pictures, a boombox, and a television which, if Ground Pounded, shows the title screen (as well as playing the respective music). In Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D, the Japanese version's title screen appears to be shown instead.

DK's Tree House reappears in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze and its Nintendo Switch port, with the same appearance as Donkey Kong Country Returns except without a front door and some wooden posts on the front porch. The interior has a few additions, and one of the framed pictures on the wall is revealed to be a photograph of DK and Diddy and there a rug on the floor. There is a wooden table and a set of chairs, along with a set of four mugs that resemble small barrels, each with a different symbol representing which Kong it belongs to.

In the opening cutscene, Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Dixie Kong, and Cranky Kong are sitting around a table, celebrating Donkey Kong's birthday. Just before Donkey Kong eats a banana, a balloon floats outside the tree house and away from Donkey Kong Island. The balloon is noticed by a Pointy Tucks, who then looks at the island from afar on a boat with other Snowmads. Upon seeing the tree house, the Pointy Tucks panics and notifies its leader, Lord Fredrik. Fredrik then uses the horn to create an ice dragon to cover the island in snow. A snowflake blows into DK's Tree House and douses the birthday candle just before Donkey Kong can blow it out. The four Kongs go outside DK's Tree House to investigate, and then a strong wind blows them away to the Lost Mangroves.

Later in Homecoming Hijinxs, the first level of Donkey Kong Island, DK's Tree House appears in the background at the start of the level. Its roof and a side of its deck are covered in snow. DK's Tree House also appears in the epilogue, where, after Donkey Kong uses the horn to return Donkey Kong Island to its usual state (and thus melt the snow present on the tree house), the Kongs form a band on the porch to perform the credits theme.

A piece of concept artwork shows that the tree house was intended to be flung along with the Kongs on the shore of a foreign island.

Donkey Kong 64

Donkey Kong inside his Tree House in Donkey Kong 64

DK's Tree House is a location in Donkey Kong 64. It is located within Kong Isle of DK Isles and the first location altogether. It is first seen in the opening cutscene, where Donkey Kong is exercising as he listens to an instrumental DK Rap on a boombox. Squawks appears and alerts Donkey Kong of King K. Rool's plans to destroy DK Isles. DK's Tree House does not have any other role in the game.

The interior of DK's Tree House looks entirely different than in Donkey Kong Country. It has a leaf hammock instead of a bed. It also has objects from earlier Donkey Kong games such as Cranky Kong's phonograph from Donkey Kong Country and a red girder from the original Donkey Kong arcade game. There are several barrels and crates, as well as banana peels lying on the ground. DK's Tree House still has a framed picture of Candy. A red mat with the DK emblem is on the ground, and there is a framed photograph of a dolphin (possibly a reference to the Nintendo GameCube, which was code named "Dolphin" at the time). Instead of steps, the Kongs can use a palm tree to climb up into the tree house.

Early screenshots of the game showed that there was going to be a shower stall in DK's Tree House with a poster of Banjo and Kazooie on it. The shower and posters were removed in the final version of the game.

Donkey Kong Country television series

DK's Tree House also appears in the Donkey Kong Country television series, where it is relatively unchanged except for an elevator that is powered by a strong punch. Sometimes, Donkey Kong punches the button too hard, making the elevator slam on entry and startling anyone inside of it. The Tree House additionally appears to be in a savanna, rather than a deep rainforest.

Super Smash Bros. series

DK's Tree House appears in the background of Kongo Falls in Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It is shown to be positioned above a rapid waterfall.

The Super Smash Bros. Ultimate reveal trailers for King K. Rool and Banjo & Kazooie each show Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong (and King K. Rool in the Banjo & Kazooie reveal) lounging in the tree home, until they are disturbed by King Dedede and Duck Hunt pretending to be King K. Rool and Banjo & Kazooie respectively. The interior of the tree house matches that of Donkey Kong Country Returns.

Mario vs. Donkey Kong series

Mario vs. Donkey Kong

In Mario vs. Donkey Kong, DK's Tree House makes a brief appearance in the prologue, where Donkey Kong is channel-surfing on his TV, until he stumbles upon a commercial with Mini-Marios. Visually, the only distinctive features of the house are a television and a couch, while the rest of the room is mostly dark. In the remake, when Donkey Kong storms out after watching the television report, the outdoors show a simple grass field with trees on the ground, so it could possibly be a different location from the treehouse.[4]

DK's Tree House, reusing its Donkey Kong Country Returns design, can be seen in Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge in the background of Barrel Blast Jungle.

Mario Party series

DK's Tree House makes a few background appearances in the Mario Party series. In Mario Party 7, the porch in front of DK's Tree House represents the finish point in the Jump, Man and Vine Country minigames, as well as in their Mario Party: The Top 100 iterations. The Donkey Kong Board from Mario Party 10 contains a miniatural version of DK's Tree House, used for decoration. It resembles its appearance from Donkey Kong Country Returns.

Yoshi's Island DS

DK's Tree House makes a minor appearance in the introduction of Yoshi's Island DS, when the Toadies capture Baby DK.

Diddy Kong Racing DS

DK's Tree House[citation needed] briefly appears during the opening cutscene of Diddy Kong Racing DS. Diddy is sitting on the porch of his tree house, and Squawks gives a letter to him written by Timber. In the letter, Timber asks for Diddy's help to kick out Wizpig from Timber's Island. The tree house appears to have an entirely empty interior, and unlike other games, a wooden ladder is connected to the tree house.

Mario Kart series

DK's Tree House reappears in Mario Kart 7, Mario Kart 8, and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, as an ornamental feature in the course DK Jungle. It is built on the side of a turn with Tiki Goons, above a pond surrounded by cascades. DK's Tree House retains its appearance from Donkey Kong Country Returns, and a DK Barrel is shown on the front deck.

Mario Tennis Open

DK Jungle in Mario Tennis Open

In Mario Tennis Open, DK's Tree House from Donkey Kong Country Returns appears in the background of the DK Jungle court, though it lacks the door and the "KONG" sign above it.

Mario Strikers: Battle League

In Mario Strikers: Battle League, multiple treehouses resembling Donkey Kong's in Donkey Kong Country Returns (without the "KONG" sign) appear in the background of the Jungle Retreat stage.

Unused appearances

Diddy Kong Pilot

In the 2003 iteration of Diddy Kong Pilot, DK's Tree House appears in the background of jungle-themed races. As expected, it was not retained in Banjo-Pilot.
