'''Jungle Hijinxs''' ({{ja|バナナジャングル|Banana Janguru}}, ''Banana Jungle'') is a stage exclusive to {{forwiiu}}, based on the level of the same name from ''{{s|mariowiki|Donkey Kong Country Returns}}''. The stage features two planes that fighters can travel through via [[Barrel Cannon]].

==Overview==

Characters can use the Barrel Cannons to travel between the foreground and background areas. After doing so, a character will be covered in flames for a while; the flames do no damage, but attempting to use another Barrel Cannon before they go out will result in an explosion. This is intended to prevent players from [[stalling]] by using the cannons repeatedly, though sometimes a player will be able to use multiple Barrel Cannons in a row. The Barrel Cannons switch out during battle and move to different parts of the stage. When a player activates their [[Final Smash]], all Barrel Cannons switch out.

Items will spawn more frequently on the plane that more players are on, with items not spawning if there are no players on a plane. If the main platform of one of the planes is gone, item spawning is disabled for that plane until the platform returns. [[Dragoon]]s can hit any character in both planes.

===Ω form===

The Ω form is set on a flat version of the front plane. The barrels, soft platforms, and the rear plane are absent (except for the structure that normally holds it). Star and Screen KOs occur, making this the only stage where both Star and Screen KOs occur on the Ω form but not on the normal version of the stage.

Jungle Hijinxs is the name of the first level of ''{{s|mariowiki|Donkey Kong Country}}''; however, the first level by the same name of the Wii game ''{{s|mariowiki|Donkey Kong Country Returns}}'' is what this stage is based around. It is a near exact replica of the part of the level that first introduces the dual planes mechanic and accurately recreates that game's mechanic of using Barrel Cannons to travel between the foreground and background, although the idea of a cooldown time between cannon uses is unique to ''Smash Bros''.

In ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'', the {{s|mariowiki|Tiki Tak Tribe}} took over {{s|mariowiki|Donkey Kong Island}} and stole Donkey Kong's {{s|mariowiki|Banana Hoard}} to make more Tikis. Throughout the course of the game, Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong fought various Tiki enemies, including [[Tiki Buzz]]es (which appear in [[Smash Run]]) and {{s|mariowiki|Screaming Pillar}}s. Whenever Donkey Kong would approach them, they would fall headfirst to the ground and damage him if he came in contact with them. Once they fell, they could be destroyed by Donkey Kong's [[Hand Slap]]. Giant Pillars also appeared in some levels of the game. Strangely, they appear in the sequel, ''{{s|mariowiki|Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze}}'', in the level {{s|mariowiki|Scorch 'N' Torch}} despite the other Tikis being absent after their defeat at the end of ''Donkey Kong Country Returns''. On Jungle Hijinxs, Screaming Pillars occasionally appear and can damage falling fighters who happen to make contact.

==Tournament legality==

The stage is banned in tournaments due to the dual planes mechanic interfering with usual play, as well as the size of the background allowing for camping. Also, since the foreground and background can collapse, this is seen as a stage hazard.
