When the stage starts, Donkey blasts out of his treehouse and onto the ground. He can find three bananas and a lone Gnawty. Donkey can hop onto the steps to his treehouse to go along and collect Extra Life Balloons or continue on land, grab Diddy from the DK Barrel and pass two Kritters on higher elevations of land and nab the Letter "K". Then, the two primates encounter two Klumps whom they must attack/avoid until reaching the Star Barrel and gaining the Letter "O" which is exactly next to the barrel.
Next, the two primates will pass a DK Barrel and then a nut-throwing Necky on a high elevation of land. They can even get a ExpressoAnimal Token directly underneath Necky. The two must continue passing along until reaching an Animal Crate where Rambi is trapped in. They can free/turn into Rambi, depending on the version and continue. Next, Rambi and the primates encounter three Gnawties and the Letter "N". Then, Rambi and the monkeys have a choice to make when coming near the high elevation; they can either go upwards on the high elevation with two Kritters on it or through the hidden bonus area behind a wall. Either way, the monkeys and Rambi are led to the Letter "G". Then, they can either break another blockage in an elevated ground as a bonus and then move forward, destroy a lone Klump, jump over two abysses ad then end the stage.
The first Bonus Room is found right after the Letter "N". It is behind a wall that Donkey and Diddy must use Rambi for to break through it. In this room, the primates and Rambi are found inside of a cave containing many bananas and a single Extra Life Balloon that will fly away soon after it appears on the screen.
The second Bonus Room is found on the ground stage underneath the Letter "G". Again, Rambi is needed to break the wall in the small ledge found next to where the Letter "G" is, but on a lower elevation. In this room, DK and Diddy must match up three Animal Tokens to win the Animal Token. If they don't win, leave the Bonus Room empty handed.
The first Photograph can be found inside of the treehouse, located on the far left of the area, behind a banana bunch.
The Photograph is of the title screen from the Super Family Computer/Super Nintendo Entertainment System version of DKC, but without the words, "Donkey Kong Country".
The second Photograph can be revealed by hand-slamming the first Klump shortly before the Star Barrel.
The Photograph is a picture of Klump.
The third Photograph is inside of the first Bonus Room, near the start and scattered among the bananas.
The Photograph is of Donkey riding Rambi.
Animal Buddies[]

Description
Rambi the Rhinoceros can be found shortly following the perched Necky throwing nuts and the Expresso Token. To ride him, break his crate with either a Barrel, a hand slap from Donkey, or by jumping.
The Letter "K" can be found on the platform with the first Kritter.
The Letter "O" is floating immediately after the Star Barrel.
The Letter "N" is to the right of Rambi's Animal Crate, shortly after a group of three Gnawties.
The Letter "G" is above the treetops, after a group of three Kritters walking down some stairs. It can be obtained by either reaching the treetops by climbing the stairs, or simply by exiting the first Bonus Room, as the exit point leads to these treetops.

Red
The first Red Balloon is inside DK's and Diddy's Treehouse. Bounce on the half-buried tire to reach it.
The second Red Balloon can be obtained using Diddy to jump to the treetops shortly after the Letter "K". Then, jump to the next treetop before this Balloon flies away.
The third Red Balloon can be found after collecting Red Balloon #2. Cartwheel and jump over the large tree gap to reach the next tree, and collect this Balloon before it flies away.
The fourth Red Balloon is at the end of the first Bonus Room. Jump to collect it before it flies away.
Green
After collecting te third Red Balloon, cartwheel and jump as far as possible to reach another treetop with this Green Balloon. Catch it before it flies away.
Blue
The two Blue Balloons are located off-screen at the stage's exit. With Rambi, jump atop the stage's exit mountain, then trot to the right as far as possible. Jump as high as possible, and at the apex of the jump, dismount Rambi to reach an invisible tire. Bounce high on the tire to access an autofire barrel cannon that will launch the Kongs into both Blue Balloons.

Description
The Steel Keg is located in an item cache in the ground, shortly after DK's and Diddy's Treehouse. The Kongs must jump from the treetops above and land on the ground, as shown by the arrow of bananas.
It is the only stage in the world Kongo Jungle to have a Necky.
Jungle Hijinxs was originally going to have a full nighttime setting and be called "Jungle Japes". It is also the name for the first stage in the game Donkey Kong 64.[citation needed]
In the Game Boy Advance version of Donkey Kong Country, the Extra Life Balloon in the treehouse can only be obtained once through the course of the game.
Also opposed to Super Family Computer/Super Nintendo Entertainment System version, the background does not go dark near the end.
The music theme for Jungle Hijinxs and other jungle stages, "DK Island Swing", is considered an iconic theme and it has been re-arranged certain number of times in later games of the Donkey Kong series, including the Super Smash Bros. game series.
