Jungle Hijinxs


 * For the DKCR level see Jungle Hijinxs (DKCR)

Jungle Hijinxs is the first level found in Donkey Kong Country. It is where Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong start their journey to reclaim their Banana Hoard two times. It introduces very basic enemies and has plenty of lives to be found.

Description


Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong will emerge from their tree house when the level starts. At the beginning, if the player goes back into the tree house above, they can earn an extra life. Also, if they stick to the trees from the very beginning, then they can earn two red balloons and one green balloon. The level is littered with basic enemies such as Kritters, which normally are not much of a threat. Going forward, they can find the "K" above the first hill. Beyond that, some Kritters and Klumps approach from the right, and they must be avoided or defeated to progress on to the Star Barrel. DK and Diddy should then avoid Necky's projectiles to reach the Animal Crate containing Rambi, who shall be very helpful for uncovering a secret bonus room in the wall right after jumping an abyss. As the player approaches the end, the sun will set.

If the player starts a new game and goes to the bottom of the tree house, all of the bananas will be gone, but after the player defeats King K. Rool, they will see his banana hoard is all back.
