It is the 6th stage in the [[1P Game]], where the player, along with two random allies, fight against [[Giant Donkey Kong]].

In {{Forwiiu}}, like [[Dream Land (SSB)|other]] [[Peach's Castle|returning]] [[Hyrule Castle|stages]] from the [[Super Smash Bros.|first ''Smash'' game]], some of the textures are slightly higher in quality, but the overall primitive look of the original is retained.

This stage is loosely based on the various jungle themed levels of ''{{s|mariowiki|Donkey Kong Country}}'', such as the ones in {{s|mariowiki|Kongo Jungle}}, the first world featured in the game. The stage and its gradient background is likely based on {{s|mariowiki|Orang-utan Gang}}, a jungle level in the game's third world, {{s|mariowiki|Vine Valley}}, which features a sunset gradient in the background.

 

Barrel Cannons are a type of [[Barrel]] in the ''Donkey Kong Country'' series that will shoot out the Kongs towards the pointed direction and sometimes move sideways. In ''Donkey Kong Country'', the Barrel Cannons will either shoot the player automatically or with the push of a button. In ''{{s|mariowiki|Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest}}'', Barrel Cannons are added with an arrow to indicate the direction the arrow it pointing; however, unlike in ''Donkey Kong Country'' and this stage, the arrow Barrel Cannons in ''Donkey Kong Country 2'' remain stationary. One of the plain barrels can be seen discarded on the stage foreground

 

The base platform's shape evokes the almost-entirely sloped terrain in the Jungle Hijinxs levels of ''Donkey Kong Country'', while the base platform and moving platforms' texture bears a resemblance to Lakeside Limbo from ''{{s|mariowiki|Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!}}'', which was also made of planks of alternating shades. The upmost soft platforms of the stage don't resemble anything from the ''Donkey Kong Country'' series, which avoided abstract floating platforms in favor of natural environment pieces, though they are held together by green vines, which were featured in the bramble levels of ''Donkey Kong Country 2'' and the {{s|mariowiki|Jump Board Scene}} stage of ''{{s|mariowiki|Donkey Kong Jr.}}''

 

A flock of [[mariowiki:Necky|Neckies]], a type of vulture enemy from ''Donkey Kong Country'', appear as [[background character]]s.

Kongo Jungle was usually regarded at first to be a counterpick. Although it had a relatively non-obtrusive stage design, it had a large size, which gave an advantage to faster characters and characters with [[projectile]]s, as well as a high ceiling, giving a slightly larger reliance on horizontal finishers. However, the stage is currently banned in singles, since characters such as {{SSBM|Peach}} and {{SSBM|Jigglypuff}} were found to be very powerful on the stage, as the platform layout made it extremely difficult to approach floaty characters [[circle camping]] across the two top platforms. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTNaAUJZz5k A match between Pink Shinobi and RockCrock] at GENESIS is particularly infamous, and commonly regarded as one of the primary reasons why the stage was banned. The stage initially remained a counterpick in doubles due to the 4-character gameplay removing the camping disadvantages, but the stage was seldom picked in tournaments, so much so that it has been phased out of stage selection for doubles tournaments altogether.
