King of Cling is the second stage in Jungle and Donkey Kong Country Returns and its port, Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D. This stage comes after Jungle Hijinxs and before Tree Top Bop.
Overview
This stage is another jungle stage and has the tutorial on clinging clinging onto green grassy turfs. This skill is also the major thing in the stage which is needed to be used to go throughout the stage and complete it. There are also bouncy flowers, spikes and dandelions revealing hidden items in this stage. Aside that, twelve Awks, fifteen Chomps, three Frogoons and two Tiki Zings appear as the enemy threats in the stage.
The King of Cling puzzle is of a pineapple with a light blue background. When all of the pieces are collected, the Frogoon drawing will be added to the Critters 1 gallery of the Image Gallery.
