There is no limit to how many fairies can circle around Donkey Kong in the game, though the current known maximum is eighteen. Upon reaching ten combos, the fairies begin to sparkle, and the sound effect that plays when Donkey Kong obtains a combo stops playing.

Combo fairies are a special kind of fairy that appears only in Donkey Kong Jungle Beat. They appear as bright round lights that come in multiple colors, with wings attached. Combo fairies bear a close resemblance to the fairies in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, having nearly the same physical appearance aside from being slightly smaller.
