In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', the stage itself is a near-exact copy of the ''SSB'' version, only being slightly larger. There also seems to be a short delay when the player is launched from the barrel, which makes it riskier to use.

In {{Forwiiu}}, like [[Dream Land (SSB)|other]] [[Peach's Castle|returning]] [[Hyrule Castle|stages]] from the [[Super Smash Bros.|first Smash game]], some of the textures are slightly higher in quality, but the overall primitive look of the original is retained.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', the stage's notoriously large blast zones have been moved inwards somewhat. Turning stage hazards off will keep the moving platforms in one place and remove the barrel cannon.

This stage is loosely based on the various jungle themed levels of ''{{s|mariowiki|Donkey Kong Country}}'', such as the ones in {{s|mariowiki|Kongo Jungle}}, and especially resembles the level {{s|mariowiki|Orang-utan Gang}} with its jungle theme and its sunset in the background; however, Orang-utan Gang is set in {{s|mariowiki|Vine Valley}}.
This stage is loosely based on the various jungle themed levels of ''{{s|mariowiki|Donkey Kong Country}}'', such as the ones in {{s|mariowiki|Kongo Jungle}}, the first world featured in the game. The stage and its gradient background is likely based on {{s|mariowiki|Orang-utan Gang}}, a jungle level in the game's third world, {{s|mariowiki|Vine Valley}}, which features a sunset gradient in the background.
 
Barrel Cannons are a type of [[Barrel]] in the ''Donkey Kong Country'' series that will shoot out the Kongs towards the pointed direction and sometimes move sideways. In ''Donkey Kong Country'', the Barrel Cannons will either shoot the player automatically or with the push of a button. In ''{{s|mariowiki|Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest}}'', Barrel Cannons are added with an arrow to indicate the direction the arrow it pointing; however, unlike in ''Donkey Kong Country'' and this stage, the arrow Barrel Cannons in ''Donkey Kong Country 2'' remain stationary. One of the plain barrels can be seen discarded on the stage foreground
 
The base platform's shape evokes the almost-entirely sloped terrain in the Jungle Hijinxs levels of ''Donkey Kong Country'', while the base platform and moving platforms' texture bears a resemblance to Lakeside Limbo from ''{{s|mariowiki|Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!}}'', which was also made of planks of alternating shades. The upmost soft platforms of the stage don't resemble anything from the ''Donkey Kong Country'' series, which avoided abstract floating platforms in favor of natural environment pieces, though they are held together by green vines, which were featured in the bramble levels of ''Donkey Kong Country 2'' and the {{s|mariowiki|Jump Board Scene}} stage of ''{{s|mariowiki|Donkey Kong Jr.}}''
 
A flock of [[mariowiki:Necky|Neckies]], a type of vulture enemy from ''Donkey Kong Country'', appear as [[background character]]s.


In the level {{s|mariowiki|Blackout Basement}}, there are two platforms that oscillate up and down, and in the level {{s|mariowiki|Platform Perils}}, there are platforms with arrows on them that move in the direction the arrow is pointing when the player jumps on them. In this stage, the two platforms that go in a circle seem to be loosely based on the moving platforms in Blackout Basement and Platform Perils. Also from ''Donkey Kong Country'' are {{s|mariowiki|barrel}}s that the player can get shot out of, either automatically or with the push of a button, that can move in a fixed pattern or rotate in place. ''{{s|mariowiki|Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest}}'' added arrows to these barrels indicating the direction of fire. In this stage there is a barrel with an arrow that moves from side to side as well as rotate, and players can press the attack button to launch early, or the barrel will fire automatically; however, in ''Donkey Kong Country 2'', the arrow barrels are always stationary. In the background, a flock of [[mariowiki:Necky|Neckies]], vulture enemies from ''Donkey Kong Country'', sometimes fly across the horizon.

Kongo Jungle remains universally banned. Although disabling stage hazards removes the barrel cannon, eliminating a potentially intrusive element from the stage, the moving platforms remain stationary near the same height as the upper platforms, further encouraging circle camping by removing an already-limited route to reach the upper two platforms.

*In ''Smash 4'', this stage's Spanish name makes no mention of its appearance in the Nintendo 64 game, being named ''Jungla Kong'' (Kong Jungle) in PAL versions and ''Selva Kongo'' (Kongo Jungle) in NTSC versions without any "64" suffix.

*In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', this stage's song's intro was slightly edited, possibly because it was originally too long, and it fit with the original [[On-screen appearance|on screen appearances]] that was in the original Smash 64; due to them being significantly faster in ''Brawl'' onwards, the first drum beat was cut. It remains unchanged in ''Melee'' and ''for Wii U'', however.

*The misspelling "Congo" in this stage's first outing might be due to the fact that two countries in Africa, as well as a river that runs through them, are spelled "Congo", whereas the location in ''Donkey Kong Country'', which this stage's name is attributed to, is actually called "Kongo Jungle", a pun between "Congo" and "Kong".
