<< List of worlds >>

Vine Valley is the third world in Donkey Kong Country, located after Monkey Mines. It is a large pine forest area of Donkey Kong Island featuring several forest areas, a treetop village, a jungle, and a temple ruins. In the center of the world, there is a large bay connected to the ocean. The boss of this area is Queen B., located across the bay. From the world map, Vine Valley appears to take place during sunset. This is the only world of the game that lacks cave stages. The Forest world from Donkey Kong Country Returns is thematically similar and its first level is named after it; it has been suggested to be the same location.[1]

Profiles

  • Instruction booklet description:
    • English:
      In the lofty treetops of Donkey Kong Country, you'll find a deserted town of wooden platforms and huts, origin unknown. But while the original inhabitants may be gone, the place is teeming with Kremlings and their friends, ready to ambush anyone who trespasses here. The barrel cannons are particularly tricky in the treetops![2]
