Vine Valley (world)
Template:Worldbox Template:Quote2 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. From the world map, Vine Valley appears to take place during sunset. This is the only world of the game that lacks cave stages.
In the Game Boy Advance version, Vine Valley's world map was significantly redesigned, and it takes place during the daytime.
In Donkey Kong Country Returns, the first level of the Forest (which itself is inspired by this world) shares this world's name. Template:DKCmap

The fourth level and the last ruins-themed level. It involves Gnawtys on large millstones chasing the Kongs, and they must avoid being run over by them, usually by bouncing off a tire. |
 Orang-utan Gang** |
The fifth level takes place in a jungle setting on the treetops. A type of Kong enemy named Manky Kongs make their first appearance in the level. Halfway into the level, there is an Expresso Animal Crate that the Kongs can break to ride Expresso for the remainder of the level. |
 Clam City** |
The sixth and final level and the second underwater level. There are many Clambos, who attack by spitting out pearls in a set direction. Throughout the level, Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong must navigate around the pearls. Enguarde the Swordfish appears in the underwater level although he cannot defeat the Clambos. |
 Boss level: Bumble B. Rumble |
The boss level where the Kongs fight the boss, Queen B., who must be hit with barrels and avoided during her red invincible stage. In the Game Boy Advance remake, she also summons Zingers to guard her after each hit. |
