Jelly Jamboree is the fifth level ofJuicy Jungle inDonkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze and its Nintendo Switchport of the same name.

The level takes place in a factory cache that stores gelatinous blocks, produced from fruit that had been processed during previous levels. In the background at the start of the level is system of glass pipes filled with gelatin. Hoards ofjelly blocks,^[1] the main gimmick of the level, must be bounced on to advance. With purple jelly blocks being the standard type, there are also green ones that help the Kongs gain more height, as well as blue jelly blocks that act as switches to rotate other jelly blocks, so they can be used. Items are usually located inside jelly blocks, and can be retrieved by jumping on any adjacent jelly block. These includeBanana Bunches, butWatermelon Fuse Bombs also appear inside the blocks, and explode shortly after being released.

InTime Attack mode, a time of 1:40.00 is required to get a gold medal, a time of 1:54.00 for silver, and a time of 2:08.00 for bronze.

Layout[edit]

The level begins with many purple jelly blocks for theKongs to bounce on, along with some bouncingTucks infesting the area. A circle ofbananas is above a group of jelly blocks, and it widens and narrows as it moves back and forth. After bouncing from two more jelly blocks (the second of which has a bouncing Tucks) is aDK Barrel on a platform. After that, the Kongs encounter a series of jelly blobs that have Tucks bouncing on them; some of these jelly blocks contain an item, which comes out when jumped on. The items can be either Bananas,Banana Coins,hearts, or even bombs similar to those carried by certain Snomads. A spiked ceiling is at the end of the section, followed by a few green jelly blocks below. ABarrel Cannon is above, and it can launch the Kongs onto a wooden ledge above. More jelly blocks follow, this time with blue ones that flip movable platforms when jumped on. The Kongs are required to land on the first blue jelly block for some purple jelly blocks to rotate into view. As they continue, the Kongs encounter someTufftons moving around the purple and green jelly blocks. A fewBuzzies patrol the area. Afterwards, the Kongs are blasted from two skullBlast Barrels in a background plane, next to the firstcheckpoint.

DK switches two jelly blocks

The stage continues to take place in the same plane as the checkpoint. The Kongs must bounce from more jelly blocks and jump from a few platforms carried byHootzes. A bouncing Tucks in the distance uses a blue jelly block to switch other blocks in the Kongs' path. Shortly after, the Kongs must enter aBlast Barrel, which blasts them into a pile of jelly blocks. The player must shake theWii Remote to blast away the pile and have the Kongs continue to the second checkpoint, now located in a foreground plane.

More bouncing Tucks appear, followed by another Blast Barrel which ricochets the Kongs into a few jellies. The path ahead is strewn with more Tufftons, along with a few vines, and some additional jelly blocks. After passing a platform, a few more blocks and vines appear, as well as some Barrel Cannons leading between two massive wooden ducts processing jelly. TheSlot Machine Barrel is directly above several obstructing blocks flipped by bouncing Tucks.
