Apple Kingdom
This article is under construction. Therefore, please excuse its informal appearance while it is being worked on. We hope to have it completed as soon as possible.
The Apple Kingdom is the fourth kingdom linked to the D Barrel which appears in Donkey Kong Jungle Beat. The kingdom is located in a underground canyon. The Apple Kingdom can be accessed by collecting three or more Crests. It is the dominion of Turret Tusk. Donkey Kong travels through this kingdom to fight this powerful, elephant-like boss. At the end of every level in this kingdom, he must eat a giant apple.
Levels
Massive Canyon
Massive Canyon is the first area of the the Apple Kingdom. The level takes place in a deep, dark canyon. Donkey Kong uses his Wall Jump ability to reach inaccessible areas. He also uses Banande Lions to fire himself to different areas. Helper Monkeys aid Donkey Kong throughout this stage as well, throwing him to the end of the level. Many uncommon objects return in this level, such as mushrooms that grow when a sound wave is sent at them. Before completing the level, Donkey Kong also fights an Army impeding his progress.
Level Layout
This level starts out in a dark cave. Much of the beginning is simply a straight pathway, and there are some bananas around it. Many bat enemies also flood the roof of this cave. As Donkey Kong travels farther into the cave, he encounters some heavy rocks rolling towards him. He must jump over them to avoid being damaged. Near the cave's exit is a Gale Hawg, who blocks the path of Donkey Kong. Once it is defeated, the ape can find a wall to climb up with a wall jump. Mushrooms also fill this part of the cave, and if the Kong sends a sound wave at them, they grow large very quickly. After Donkey Kong climbs his way out of the remaining part of the cave, with the help of a few Helper Monkeys and his wall jumping abilities, he finds himself in a barren desert.
There are enemies around the cave's exit, as well as some more Helper Monkeys. The monkeys throw Donkey Kong to a Banande Lion, which flings him to another on a far-away platform to the right. This Banande Lion shoots him to a Helper Monkey, who helps the ape progress more by throwing him to a third Banande Lion. Another Helper Monkey and Banande Lion follow after these, and the ape is soon sent to a wall, which he must climb with his wall jumping abilities. Once he makes his way to the top, he meets the level's mini-boss, who is an Army. The foe must be defeated to progress. After the creature is bested, a giant apple appears on a nearby tree branch. If Donkey Kong bites into it, the level ends.
Ice Warren
Ice Warren is the second area of the Apple Kingdom. This level takes place in a frozen cavern. Freezing bats attack Donkey Kong here, but he dispatches them with his clap attack. Many Helper Monkeys assist Donkey Kong to progress and get to inaccessible areas, as they do in many other levels. Throughout much of the level, though, the ape slides down slippery surfaces and collects the many Banana Bunches that fill the level. At the end of the level, Hoofer the Wildebeest helps Donkey Kong jump over large gaps in a bonus game. Each jump nets Donkey Kong ten bonus beats. After completing the level, Donkey battles Turret Tusk.
