The '''Volcano''' is the eighth world of ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]''. It can be accessed after defeating [[Colonel Pluck]] and his Stompybot 3000. It is an active volcano located on [[Donkey Kong Island]]. During the events of the game, it is infested by members of the [[Tiki Tak Tribe]], who have stolen [[Donkey Kong]]'s and [[Diddy Kong]]'s [[banana hoard]]. This world is also home to the Tiki Tak Tribe's leader and the game's final boss, [[Tiki Tong]]. | |||

The Volcano is a very dangerous world, and as its name implies, it takes place in a volcanic area. This volcano has main and side vents, lava tubes, a magma chamber, a magma reservoir, and a caldera. It features many new elements not seen in the game's previous worlds, such as [[lava]] that will instantly take out the [[Kong]]s and fireballs that move in a set pattern. There are structures that sink into the lava when stepped on and platforms that appear for a set period, then sink back into the lava. This area also brings back many elements from the past worlds, such as turf, [[minecart]]s, [[Rocket Barrel]]s, vines, and even [[Rambi]]. The levels in this world are all diverse and use different mechanics. | |||
The | The enemies in this world are mainly flammable enemies like [[Tiki Torch]]es, [[Tiki Bomber]]s, [[Char-Char]]s, and [[Flaming Tiki Buzz]]es. | ||
The | The Volcano appears to be the mountainous counterpart to [[Gorilla Glacier]] from ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. When asked if they were the same region, senior designer Kynan Pearson approved of the idea.<ref>KynanPearson (August 12, 2021).
