Orange Kingdom

Template:DKJB Kingdom The Orange Kingdom is the second kingdom linked to the D Barrel which appears in Donkey Kong Jungle Beat. The kingdom is located on a high snowy mountain. The Orange Kingdom can be accessed by collecting one Crest. Donkey Kong travels through this kingdom to fight Scruff Roc, the foe who rules the kingdom. At the end of each level in this area, Donkey Kong must bite into a giant orange to complete the stage.

Levels

Silver Snow Peak

Silver Snow Peak is the first area of the Orange Kingdom. It takes place on the base of a snowy mountain. Donkey Kong has to reach the peak of the mountain. He meets his second Jungle Buddy, Hoofer here and rides him through the entire level. Iguanagon tries to stop Donkey Kong and Hoofer by chasing after them here as well. For every ten meters traveled in this level, Donkey Kong gains a beat. Unlike the other levels, Donkey Kong does not need to eat the giant fruit at the end of the level, and he only has to touch it to finish. After touching the fruit, he must jump over wide gaps with the buddy to gain extra beats.

Level Layout

At the beginning of the level, Donkey Kong is forced on Hoofer, and the two ride through ice to progress and collect bananas. Near here is a platform with a few icicles hanging under it. If the two characters choose to go under the platform, Donkey Kong gains a few beats. However, if he uses the platforms to lift him up to a higher platform, he can run into many more beats. The is a small fork in the road farther on, and the ape can either ride on the long platforms ahead, or simply head under them. Taking the top route leads him to more bananas, while the bottom takes him to a few less bananas and a small enemy blocking the path. After passing through three Banana Bunches, Donkey Kong, still riding Hoofer, travels down a steep hill. While heading down however, the two animals are chased by a giant snowball. Collecting Blooms all the way down the hill, the snowball soon stops, and the group travels up a steep hill. There is a tunnel nearby that they enter on this hill. Inside, there are some Yukimoguras sticking through the bottom and top of the tunnel. They must be dodged for the ape and his Jungle Buddy to progress.

After crashing into more bananas trapped in ice, Hoofer and Donkey Kong come up to even larger Yukimoguras sticking out of the sides of the area. There are some bananas around this area as well, although they are all still encased in ice. Eventually, Donkey Kong and Hoofer meet the exit of the tunnel and head down another large hill. At the bottom of the hill is another giant snowball, which Donkey Kong can destroy if the player claps their hands. At this point, Iguanagon begins to chase the group. After treading up and down hills and crashing through bananas encased in ice, the animals make it into a tunnel, which Iguanagon is too large to enter. Inside the tunnel, there are a few bananas to collect, some being encased in icicles. Once Donkey Kong exits this tunnel, he and his Jungle Buddy come up to the large orange. Touching makes the level end, however, right after, Donkey Kong plays a bonus on Hoofer, where he must jump off a ramp to receive more beats. The amount gained will be equal to the distance jumped.

Sky Garden

Sky Garden in the game's New Play Control! version.

Sky Garden is the second area of the Orange Kingdom. The level takes place on a high altitude with clouds and beanstalks. Donkey Kong utilizes the unique plants growing in the sky to propel himself to higher areas. Donkey Kong also encounters a chicken-plant hybrid, who can be defeated by clapping. In the second half of the level, Donkey Kong is aided by the Helper Monkeys to reach higher areas and, overall, progress through the level. After eating the giant orange at the end of the level, the ape sets off to fight the boss, Scruff Roc.

Level Layout

This level starts out with a pathway leading down to a group of three bananas. Nearby, there is a large flower, and if Donkey Kong jumps in this, he can shoot himself to the platforms to the right. There is a Banande Lion placed on this platform for him to swing on as well. Once he grabs onto the flower, he must fling himself to the vine located to the left. Swinging on this helps him reach the platforms found farther to the left, which has another Banande Lion on it. After grabbing that flower, he should fling himself to the flower on the next platform. Once he lands in it, the plant aims him to another vine. Near this vine is a group of Banana Bunches, which Donkey Kong should clap-grab to earn extra beats. Eventually, he should swing his way over the bananas to reach the buddy, Flurl, who helps him float downwards. As the two float down, they can find several bananas and Banana Bunches.

When Donkey Kong reaches the ground, causing him to lose his Jungle Buddy, he meets a Kobukokko blocking his path. If he manages to defeat this creature with his abilities, he can make his way to the nearby Helper Monkey, who waits for him in a bush. This monkey throws him to a second monkey, who must them throw him into the flower to the right. Donkey Kong can shoot himself out of this plant to fly toward another Helper Monkey, who helps him reach the next platform. When the ape lands on this platform, he finds a White and Black Butapokkīes in his path. To the right of them is another flower, which Donkey Kong can use to shoot himself to a Helper Monkey. When Donkey Kong approaches this monkey, the player can make the creature throw the Kong to the giant orange nearby. Once Donkey Kong bites into this fruit, the level ends.

VS. Scruff Roc

Donkey Kong must then fight Scruff Roc, a massive, green and yellow bird carrying a black egg, on a massive ledge, with two rock walls, and a nest in the background. Scruff Roc attacks by launching its spiky feathers at him. To defeat Scruff Roc, he must attack the massive egg it carries, by headbutting it. Upon reaching half health, Scruff Roc will move somewhat faster, and he can only be attacked after striking the egg, which will confuse it. Once its health is low enough, the egg starts smoking. Upon being defeated, the egg will explode, and Scruff Roc along with it. Its feathers will then fall to the ground.
