History
Donkey Kong Country
In Donkey Kong Country, the treehouse marks its first appearance in the game and is located in the first level, Jungle Hijinxs. This place is the first place visited in the game as well. When entered, Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong will find a tire where they should jump on to reach an Extra Life Balloon in the air. Once entered in the level, it cannot be entered again unless the level is restarted.
It can be entered as many times as the Kongs want in the Game Boy Advance version of this game and is more messier in that version and is revamped. There is also a hidden photograph behind a banana bunch in this location. Also, unlike the previous two versions, the Extra Life Balloon can only be collected once in the entire game.
Donkey Kong Country 3 (GBA)
Donkey Kong's Treehouse makes a brief appearance in the Game Boy Advance remake of Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! where the credits take place in this game. The treehouse looks a bit different and much more organized. Everything is also more red-striped. A tire swing was also added as an easter egg.
Donkey Kong 64
The treehouse marks the second appearance and the first location in Donkey Kong 64. This location is found in Jungle Japes. In the beginning of the game, Donkey Kong can be found listening to music while exercising until Squawks alerts him about King K. Rool. Its appearance is much different than its previous appearance in Donkey Kong Country. Also, this game's version of his treehouse has a hammock instead of a bed like its previous appearance.
Diddy Kong Pilot
Donkey Kong's Treehouse makes a cameo appearance in Diddy Kong Pilot in jungle-themed backgrounds and races.
Donkey Kong Country Returns
The treehouse makes its third and latest appearance in Donkey Kong Country Returns. This location, once again is the first location in the game like in Donkey Kong Country and Donkey Kong 64. At the beginning of the game, Donkey Kong can be found fighting Kalimba by beating him up and punching him out in the distance, while in multiplayer mode, Diddy Kong can be found fighting Kalimba by beating him up and double kicking him out in the distance. The treehouse once again contains an Extra Life Balloon with a TV and a radio. If handslapped, the TV turns on and plays the Donkey Kong Country Returns theme song along with having the logo on the TV screen.
