Pineapple 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.
Template:DKJB Kingdom The Pineapple Kingdom is the sixth kingdom in Donkey Kong Jungle Beat, and is the second kingdom connected to the K Barrel. The kingdom is located on a waterfall falling from an upstream sea. The Pineapple Kingdom can be accessed by completing all the kingdoms linked to the D Barrel and collecting seven or more Crests. It is the dominion of Karate Kong. Donkey Kong travels through this kingdom to fight this mighty foe, and at the end of each level he eats a giant pineapple.
Levels
Rumble Falls
Rumble Falls is the first area of the Pineapple Kingdom. In it, one must climb from the base of a massive waterfall to the top. Rumble Falls has many unique plants which aid Donkey Kong's ascent to the top. One of these uncommon plants are the Bubble Shrubs, which Donkey Kong can activate with his claping abilities. This flower, upon being entered, encases the ape in a bubble, which floats him to the top of the waterfall. Helper Monkeys also aid him by throwing him to more flowers, such as Banande Lions. Other obstacles in this level include tightropes, which bounce Donkey Kong to higher areas.
Level Layout
The level begins with a straight path leading to the falls. In front of the waterfall is a few sets of tightropes, which are both connected to a small center platform. On this platform is a flower, which can push Donkey Kong into the air to earn combos. Above these objects is a Helper Monkey, who can throw the big ape onto a Banande Lion located on a ledge to the right. Once Donkey Kong flings off of this plant, he is sent to another small platform, which has a long tightrope connected to it. Above this rope is a second Helper Monkey, who can throw Donkey Kong to a higher tightrope. Another small platform is connected to the right end of this rope, and a purple flower grows on it. Near this is a bigger platform with a Gale Hawg on it.
Once the Kong defeats this foe, he is able to use the aid of a nearby Helper Monkey to reach another helper. This monkey throws the ape to a Banande Lion growing out of the wall. The plant can fling the ape to the area to the right, where there is the first Bubble Shrub, as well as some frog enemies, who fill in the area to the right of the plant. The Bubble Shrub encases the Kong into a bubble when entered, and it helps him float higher. Moving at the slow pace, the primate can collect some Banana Bunches on the way up, while avoiding a few small bee enemies. A few pink flowers also appear around this area to push Donkey Kong upwards at a faster speed. Near the top of the falls, one can find a second Bubble Shrub, which can be used if Donkey Kong is to fall out of his bubble. On the ledge above this plant is a single frog enemy and a giant pineapple growing on a large tree branch. If Donkey Kong bites into this fruit, the level ends.

Pristine Sea
Pristine Sea is the second area of the Pineapple Kingdom. This level takes place in a sea located upstream from Rumble Falls. Here, Donkey Kong uses his swimming abilities to progress through most of the stage. He encounters squids in this stage, which leave bananas behind when approached, along with underwater flowers and clams that give out bananas when hit by a sound wave. One of the major obstacles in this level is its many ocean currents, which push Donkey Kong through the water and sometimes block important pathways filled with bananas. The forth and final Animal Buddy, Orco the Killer Whale, can also be found in this level, and she carries Donkey Kong to the end of the level. After eating the giant pineapple at the end of this stage, Donkey Kong fights Karate Kong on a raging river.

Pristine Sea starts out on a small beach, where there are a few fairies floating in the air. Donkey Kong can send a sound wave at them to make bananas appear. Following the short pathway down the beach can take Donkey Kong into the ocean, where he can find many bananas beneath the seaweed. A few plants and clams can also be found farther into the water, and they shoot bananas at the ape if they are hit by his sound waves. After passing the second clam, Donkey Kong is swept away over a small area of land by a current. If he manages to swim under this current, he can find more clams and banana-bearing plants. Farther into the level, one can find a sunken ship, which is filled with many Banana Bunches. By defeating the giant puffer fish at the entrance of the ship, Donkey Kong can make his way into the object. Besides Banana Bunches, the ship is filled with many jellyfish-like enemy, who explode when hit by too many sound waves, defeating them. At the bottom exit of the ship, leading into a large abyss, there is a small area filled with Banana Bunches that is sealed off by a wall, and only Orco the Jungle Buddy can open the pathway. A wide area is located under the ship, and their a is great amount of space for the ape to swim through.
Flowers grow on the side of this area, and, as the flowers before, they give Donkey Kong bananas. Some bananas are also hidden in the seaweed here. As the Kong heads farther down into the abyss, he can find many yellow fairies that form a trampoline when hit by a sound wave. They can help him travel downwards faster if bounced on. At the bottom of the area, Orco the Kill Wale can be found swimming around. Donkey Kong can hold onto the buddy and allow her to pull him through the water. Orco quickly takes the ape back to the surface of the water, where he is sent in the air to a giant pineapple growing on a tree. If he chooses not to bite into this fruit and finish the level, he is pull back into the water by Orco, who continues to pull him through the ocean. He is eventually taken back to the depths of the sea, where the wale is able to bust through a nearby wall, leading to a hidden area. This area loops around back to the entrance, and on the way through it, Donkey Kong is led to many Banana Bunches. The ape is soon taken back to the upper areas of the ocean again by Orco, who can also help him reach Banana Bunches in the air. Eventually, the Kong is, again, sent towards a giant pineapple, which lets him end the level if he bites into it.
