(Mistaking a DK sea turtle for a Koopa Troopa is a little far-fetched, and there is the "turtle" disambiguation page for that... and this is a common animal, so the trivia doesn't really mean anything.)

*Coincidentally, sea turtles were first mentioned in the ''[[Super Mario Bros.

When Luigi made a right turn instead of a left based on his feelings, much to Mario's annoyance, he justified his decision by saying he had read that seas turtles navigate thousands of miles on instinct. Mario retorted that they did not do that in [[Brooklyn]] traffic.

Sea Turtles in Donkey Kong Jungle Beat.

Sea Turtles[1] appear in Donkey Kong Jungle Beat not as allies or enemies, but as rivals Donkey Kong races in the Pear Kingdom. If Donkey Kong doesn't get first place, he will still beat the level, just not get many beats. Minus the different skin and shell coloration, all three of them look exactly the same.

Each of the three Sea Turtles will always take one preset path through the course, and will always place in one set position:

  • The light-shaded Sea Turtle is placed first.
  • The dark-shaded Sea Turtle is placed second.
  • The middle-shaded Sea Turtle is placed third.

If Donkey Kong finishes first, they will clap their flippers together in applause.
