Jungle Japes
Jungle Japes is the first level in Donkey Kong 64. Since this is the first adventure stage of game, it's where you learn to do many things including collecting bananas and transforming into Rambi. It is located in Donkey Kong Island, and requires one Golden Banana (found near the entrance itself) to enter. Diddy Kong is held captive here in a mountain prison.
In Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Brawl, it is set on a river, with three ledges made of wood, on which the players fight. There is a large platform, found in the center. This platform has another smaller platform above it, which players are able to jump on. There are also two smaller platforms on both sides, but because they are higher elevated, and they are separated by the rapid water current, it makes it dangerous to jump on. Klap Traps occasionally jump up to knock the players into the river. The music of the stage is the main level music from Donkey Kong Country. Also, on the main platform, there is a cabin in the background, and the player can see Cranky Kong's silhouette walking back and forth.
Trivia
- In both Donkey Kong 64 and Super Smash Bros. Melee, the music played is a remix of the music in the first level of Donkey Kong Country.
