Jungle Japes

Jungle Japes is a stage that is unlocked from the start of Super Smash Bros. Melee. It is also Donkey Kong's home stage.

The stage is divided into three parts. The right and left sections are about equal in length and are a little taller then the middle section. The middle section is the longest, with a smaller platform suspended above it. This stage may sound simple, but it's actually rather dangerous. Getting caught in the current under the stage is bad and hard to get back on the stage. Be careful not to fall off the edges or you will get caught in the current and most likely won't survive. To make matters worse, Klaptraps will jump out at you if you fall in either pit on each side of the middle section. Getting attacked by one will result in a one-hit KO.
