Jungle Japes

Jump to navigationJump to search
Announced at E3 2001, Jungle Japes is a stage that is unlocked from the start of Super Smash Bros. Melee. It is also Donkey Kong's home stage. Young Link and his teammates are faced here in All-Star mode.
The stage is divided into three parts. The right and left sections are about equal in length and are a little taller then the middle section. The middle section is the longest, with a smaller platform suspended above it. This stage may sound simple, but is actually rather dangerous. Getting caught in the current under the stage is likely to result in a KO as it is hard to get back on the stage. Klaptraps occasionally jump out of the water; getting attacked by one will result in a one-hit KO.
Fun facts
- Playing against a Fox CP on this level is almost a guaranteed win with this strategy: after he gets KO'd once, moving to the platform on the right before Fox returns will cause him to self-destruct repeatedly. A glitch causes Fox to jump underneath the middle platform and use Fire Fox. This pattern will endlessly repeat unless Fox is attacked or the human-controlled player moves.
- When pit in a 1 stock match against a Lv. 9 Ness, moving isn't even necessary for winning. Ness will self-destruct in a matter not unlike Fox's glitch.
- When battling Giant Donkey Kong in Adventure Mode with any character, another glitch can result in a simple victory. The player should go to the edge of the platform he or she started on. When Giant DK approaches, pressing and holding the B button will cause him fall through the gap.
- Giant DK will also suicide if standing still at the edge of the same platform using Ness, Pikachu, Captain Falcon and Kirby.
- Cranky Kong makes a cameo in the house in center stage. He appears as a silhouette in a rocking chair and occasionally gets up to pace.
