Congo Jungle

Congo Jungle is a stage in the original Super Smash Brothers game. It is also Donkey Kong's home stage. Congo Jungle is also known as Kongo Jungle N64 in Melee and is one of the three past stages you can unlock. To unlock this stage, you must beat the 15-minute melee.

Congo Jungle
This stage appears as a starter stage in SSB. This stage is made up of a big platform with a couple of small platforms on it. The top left and right sides of the stage are small and can be used to battle on. In the middle of the stage there are two platforms that move in a clockwise motion. Under the stage there is a barrel cannon that is similar to the one in SSBM stage Kongo Jungle. If you manage to get into the barrel, make sure the arrow on the barrel is pointing up. If you stay in it too long, the barrel will shoot you in the direction the arrow is pointing. This stage is a legal stage in SSB.

Past Stages: Kongo Jungle 64
The Congo Jungle Stage is reused in Melee as an unlockable stage under this name. It is a non-neutral legal stage in SSBM.
