'''Jungle Hijinxs''', also spelled '''Jungle Hijinx''',<ref>''Nintendo Magazine System'' (UK) issue 28, page 59.</ref> is the first [[level]] of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' and of the first world, [[Kongo Jungle]]. Being the first level, Jungle Hijinxs is simple, having few [[pit]]s and consisting of basic enemies. During the latter half, the Kongs can find an [[animal crate]] with [[Rambi]]. The music for Jungle Hijinxs as well as other jungle levels, "[[DK Island Swing]]," went on to become an iconic theme in various ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' games, especially jungle settings that involve [[Donkey Kong]].
'''Jungle Hijinxs''', also spelled '''Jungle Hijinx''',<ref>''Nintendo Magazine System'' (UK) issue 28, page 59.</ref> is the first [[level]] of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' and of the first world, [[Kongo Jungle]].


The [[Game Boy Color]] and [[Game Boy Advance]] versions of this level both take place during mid-day instead of sunset/dusk, and the sky never changes. This was likely done due to technical limitations or so that players could navigate through the level without losing visibility (the Game Boy Color and original GBA had no backlight to make the screen brighter).
==Summary==
The level starts outside of [[DK's Tree House]]. [[Donkey Kong]] can backtrack into treehouse for a [[Red Balloon|Life Balloon]], or enter below into his [[banana hoard]]. The level only has some basic enemies, including [[Gnawty|Gnawties]], [[Kritter]]s, [[Klump]]s, and a single perched [[Necky]]. During the latter half, the Kongs can find an [[animal crate]] with [[Rambi]], who helps them with defeating enemies and is required to open the entrances of both [[Bonus room|Bonus Level]]s.


In the [[List of Donkey Kong Country pre-release and unused content|pre-release version]] of ''Donkey Kong Country'', Jungle Hijinxs had a nighttime setting. Additionally, Jungle Hijinxs was originally known as "Jungle Japes", a name eventually used for the first level of ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''.
As the first level, Jungle Hijinxs is simple and features few pitfalls. The [[Kong]]s can also move across the treetops to find some hidden items. When the Kongs reach the end of the level, it gets dark and becomes nighttime. In the original release, the nighttime continues into the next level, [[Ropey Rampage]].
 
At the start, the Kongs can ride a [[Iron Barrel|steel keg]] through to quickly go through most of the level. By jumping from the treetops and then down a gap with a group of bananas forming a down arrow, Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong land on a ground patch, which breaks open to reveal a steel keg. By throwing it at DK's Tree House on the left, the steel keg ricochets and rolls in the Kongs' direction. They must jump on the steel keg, which they can ride until it falls into a gap shortly after the Rambi Crate.

The level starts when [[Donkey Kong]] shoots out of his [[DK's Tree House|tree house]] and then lands onto the ground. If Donkey Kong enters his [[banana hoard|banana cave]], he finds it empty, while if he enters his tree house found higher up, he can nab a [[Red Balloon|Life Balloon]] to gain an extra life along the way. Donkey Kong must continue a few steps to encounter a [[Gnawty]] and Diddy Kong stuck in a DK Barrel. Alternatively, from the treehouse's entrance, the Kongs have the option to hop from several treetops and collect two Life Balloons and one [[Green Balloon|2-Up Balloon]]. There is also a [[Iron Barrel|steel keg]] that the Kongs can optionally ride; by jumping from the treetops and then down a gap with a group of bananas forming a down arrow, Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong land on a ground patch, which breaks open to reveal a steel keg. By throwing it at DK's Tree House on the left, the steel keg ricochets and rolls in the Kongs' direction. They must jump on the steel keg, which they can ride until it falls into a gap shortly after the Rambi Crate. After the aforementioned 2-Up Balloon, the Kongs must continue along to a raised piece of land with a Kritter on it and a Gnawty underneath it so they can obtain the letter K of the [[KONG Letters|K-O-N-G Letters]]. Afterwards, the Kongs encounter two Kritters on two raised pieces of land and two [[Klump]]s, whom they must defeat to continue along so they can reach the [[Star Barrel|Continue Barrel]] and the letter O next to it.

Donkey Kong must continue a few steps to encounter a [[Gnawty]] and Diddy Kong stuck in a DK Barrel on whom he must free. Alternatively, from the treehouse's entrance, the Kongs have the option to hop from several treetops and collect two Life Balloons and one [[Green Balloon|2-Up Balloon]]. After the aforementioned 2-Up Balloon, the Kongs must continue along to a raised piece of land with a Kritter on it and a Gnawty underneath it so they can obtain the letter K of the [[KONG Letters|K-O-N-G Letters]]. Afterwards, the Kongs encounter two Kritters on two raised pieces of land and two [[Klump]]s, whom they must defeat to continue along so they can reach the [[Star Barrel|Continue Barrel]] and the letter O next to it.


Next, the Kongs come past another DK Barrel and the letter O to encounter a Necky, who shoots nuts at them as a weapon and along the way. The foe stands on a raised area of land with a few bananas and an [[Expresso]] [[animal token|Token]] on it. They can hop onto Rambi, found in his crate nearby, who helps them defeat the three Gnawties in their path and find the letter N just ahead. Next, Rambi and the Kongs can either enter a Bonus Level to instantly gain the letter G upon exiting it (except in the Game Boy Color version), or hop onto some ledges acting as stairs so they can climb and jump onto the tree holding the letter G. The Kongs and Rambi can fall down from the treetops to break a barrier to find another Bonus Level which they can enter. They can either enter it to continue along if they finish it, or continue down the path, defeating a Klump, hopping over a ledge, and then going to the level's exit on the way, where Rambi stays. Optionally, if the player climbs the hill above the exit sign and jumps off Rambi, they can get a hidden [[Blue Balloon]]. The exit then allows the Kongs to move into the [[Ropey Rampage|next level]]. Additionally, when the Kongs reach the end of the level, it gets dark and becomes nighttime, which continues over into the next level, [[Ropey Rampage]]; neither of these occur in the Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance versions.

Jungle Hijinxs, also spelled Jungle Hijinx,[1] is the first level of Donkey Kong Country and of the first world, Kongo Jungle.

Summary

The level starts outside of DK's Tree House. Donkey Kong can backtrack into treehouse for a Life Balloon, or enter below into his banana hoard. The level only has some basic enemies, including Gnawties, Kritters, Klumps, and a single perched Necky. During the latter half, the Kongs can find an animal crate with Rambi, who helps them with defeating enemies and is required to open the entrances of both Bonus Levels.

As the first level, Jungle Hijinxs is simple and features few pitfalls. The Kongs can also move across the treetops to find some hidden items. When the Kongs reach the end of the level, it gets dark and becomes nighttime. In the original release, the nighttime continues into the next level, Ropey Rampage.

At the start, the Kongs can ride a steel keg through to quickly go through most of the level. By jumping from the treetops and then down a gap with a group of bananas forming a down arrow, Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong land on a ground patch, which breaks open to reveal a steel keg. By throwing it at DK's Tree House on the left, the steel keg ricochets and rolls in the Kongs' direction. They must jump on the steel keg, which they can ride until it falls into a gap shortly after the Rambi Crate.

The level starts when Donkey Kong shoots out of his tree house and then lands onto the ground. If Donkey Kong enters his banana cave, he finds it empty, while if he enters his tree house found higher up, he can nab a Life Balloon to gain an extra life along the way. Donkey Kong must continue a few steps to encounter a Gnawty and Diddy Kong stuck in a DK Barrel on whom he must free. Alternatively, from the treehouse's entrance, the Kongs have the option to hop from several treetops and collect two Life Balloons and one 2-Up Balloon. After the aforementioned 2-Up Balloon, the Kongs must continue along to a raised piece of land with a Kritter on it and a Gnawty underneath it so they can obtain the letter K of the K-O-N-G Letters. Afterwards, the Kongs encounter two Kritters on two raised pieces of land and two Klumps, whom they must defeat to continue along so they can reach the Continue Barrel and the letter O next to it.

Next, the Kongs come past another DK Barrel and the letter O to encounter a Necky, who shoots nuts at them as a weapon and along the way. The foe stands on a raised area of land with a few bananas and an Expresso Token on it. They can hop onto Rambi, found in his crate nearby, who helps them defeat the three Gnawties in their path and find the letter N just ahead. Next, Rambi and the Kongs can either enter a Bonus Level to instantly gain the letter G upon exiting it, or hop onto some ledges acting as stairs so they can climb and jump onto the tree holding the letter G. The Kongs and Rambi can fall down from the treetops to break a barrier to find another Bonus Level which they can enter. They can either enter it to continue along if they finish it, or continue down the path, defeating a Klump, hopping over a ledge, and then going to the level's exit on the way, where Rambi stays. The exit then allows the Kongs to move into the next level.

If the player climbs the hill above the exit sign and jumps off Rambi, he can get a hidden Blue Balloon.
