Jungle Hijinx

""Welcome to the jungle, home of Donkey Kong and friends! This stage is fairly simplistic, with only a few soft platforms to worry about. As such, it's a prime location for more serious play or just monkeying around with friends.""

Jungle Hijinx (also spelled Jungle Hijinxs) is a stage in Nexed, being based on the level of the same name from Donkey Kong Country, with some inspiration from the similarly named Jungle Hijinxs from Donkey Kong Country Returns.

History
Jungle Hijinx is the first level in Donkey Kong Country; While it is referred to as Jungle Hijinxs in-game, the 28th issue of UK-based magazine Nintendo Magazine System refers to it as Jungle Hijinx, which is the name used in Nexed. Starting with Donkey Kong busting out of his treehouse, the level introduces vital aspects of the game to the player, including Diddy Kong's role as an ally, KONG Letters, and hidden collectibles and bonus rooms.

Jungle Hijinxs is also the name of the first level in Donkey Kong Country Returns, although the Hijinx spelling cannot be found in any official media in this case. Despite the similar names, the levels do not share a layout, although they still serve as a tutorial stage. In any case, the Returns version of the level would become the basis for a stage in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.

Layout
Jungle Hijinx's appearance mostly takes inspiration from its appearance in Donkey Kong Country, featuring a dense cluster of leaves and vines on the bottom half of the background, as well as a dirt ground. However, beyond the shrubbery, the background resembles Jungle Hijinxs from Donkey Kong Country Returns, displaying palm trees and a sunny sky. Donkey Kong's treehouse can also be seen on the far left, using its appearance from Returns.

The stage itself is a flat walkoff stage. However, there do exist three soft platforms - One is set on a raised chunk of earth in the background, while the other two are perched on palm trees.

Hazards
Jungle Hijinx has no hazards.

Trivia

 * The choice to name the stage Jungle Hijinx as opposed to Jungle Hijinxs was made because Faz thought the former sounded cooler.
