Aside from traveling on the coast of [[Donkey Kong Island]], which consists of wild jungles and icy summits, the heroes also need to pass through Gangplank Galleon, anchored on the shore. There is a somewhat contrast between the jungle levels and the snowy levels, whereas jungles have a tropical climate, and the snow canyons are frozen. Likewise, there is a slight difference between the fauna of the jungle levels and icy levels: the jungle ones involve [[Slippa]]s, which are snakes - and thus, they prefer warmer areas -, and the icy ones include [[Hogwash]]es, flying pigs commonly found at high altitudes.

*The Gangplank Galleon ship in ''Donkey Kong Land'' is somehow different from its appearance in ''Donkey Kong Country''. First of all, it now lacks the pirate crocodile skull sail on the mainmast. The mainmast looks just like the other masts, having only several yards attached to it. Second, the "crow's nest" has been moved on the mizzenmast (the back mast). Third, the forecastle deck is missing. Also, the jolly roger flag on the top of the mainmast is not shown waving anymore, and it just hangs immobile.
 
**Oddly enough, the sail on the mainbrace returns in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]].
