{{for|the stage that originated in ''Super Smash Bros.''|Kongo Jungle}}

'''Kongo Falls''' ({{ja|いかだと滝|Ikada to Taki}}, ''Raft and Waterfall''), previously referred to as '''Kongo Jungle''' ({{ja|コンゴジャングル|Kongo Janguru}}, ''Kongo Jungle''), is one of three ''[[Donkey Kong (universe)|Donkey Kong]]'' stages in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. This stage is played in [[All-Star Mode]] when the player faces {{SSBM|Donkey Kong}} and any of his teammates. It returns in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' with numerous aesthetic updates. In ''Ultimate'', {{SSBU|Diddy Kong}} is fought here for his unlock battle.

Below the raft is a spinning barrel moving back and forth. Similar to [[Kongo Jungle]] in [[Super Smash Bros 64]], If a player's fighter gets caught in it, the player can push any button to launch out their fighter in the direction the barrel's arrow faces. The barrel also fires out fighters who are in it for too long. The arrow sometimes stops while pointing to the bottom. Characters can get caught in it for too long, causing them to be eventually fired downward and [[KO]]ed. The barrel occasionally stops and spins in place.  

This stage also features a ''Donkey Kong'' series enemy, [[Klaptrap]]. If a character touches one, they will fly off to their death at middle to high [[percentage]] (unless [[shield]]ed or [[air dodge]]d). Klaptraps occasionally get caught in the barrel cannon, where they still KO the player if he or she touches them, effectively rendering the cannon unusable. There are logs that occasionally roll down the waterfall and stop before collapsing momentarily. They give characters a narrow platform to escape to for a few seconds before plummeting to the bottom of the waterfall. Crates can also come down the waterfall, and will deal 8% damage and weak knockback to players it hits.

In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', the [[Ω form]] and [[Battlefield form]] are set on a completely flat version of the normal form's main bottom raft on top of a large rock. The main platform is also resized and reshaped to match {{SSBU|Final Destination}} and {{SSBU|Battlefield}}, respectively. The rock is absent in both forms and Klaptraps and large logs no longer occasionally appear. The three [[soft platform]]s of the Battlefield form are flat versions of the ones in the regular form.

This stage is loosely based on the {{s|mariowiki|Kongo Jungle}} area from ''{{iw|mariowiki|Donkey Kong Country}}''; however, Kongo Jungle does not feature a raging river. In the background of this stage is {{s|mariowiki|Donkey Kong's Treehouse}}, which appears on the world map for Kongo Jungle and in the beginning of the first level: {{s|mariowiki|Jungle Hijinxs}}.

 

At the time of ''Melee''{{'}}s release, ''{{iw|mariowiki|Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!}}'' was the only game in the ''Donkey Kong'' series to feature a waterfall. The waterfall in the stage, however, is also a much lighter shade of blue.  

*When playing as {{SSBU|Pokémon Trainer}}, he will stand on the porch of the treehouse. Up to three additional Trainers can stand atop the rocks in the river.
