==Summary==
Orang-utan Gang is the last jungle level in the game, and it involves [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] having to walk along the treetops. It is the first level with [[Manky Kong]]s, who stand on the treetops and throw [[barrel]]s at [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]]. Shortly before the [[Star Barrel|Continue Barrel]], the [[Kong]]s can jump on an [[animal crate]] to release [[Expresso the Ostrich]] and ride him for the rest of the level. There are five [[Bonus Level]]s in Orang-utan Gang, the most of any level in the [[Donkey Kong (franchise)|''Donkey Kong'' franchise]], and Expresso is required to reach a Bonus Level hidden under the start of the level.
 
At the start of the level, if Donkey Kong and Diddy walk left, they can pick up a [[Iron Barrel|steel keg]] on a tree, circled by a [[Zinger]]. If they pick it up and throw it to the treetop on the left, the Kongs can jump on the rolling steel keg to ride through most of the beginning portion of the level.
 
In the original version, the level starts during the day and gradually transitions to sunset. In the [[Game Boy Color]] version, the entire level takes place during the daytime. In the Game Boy Advance version, the entire level takes place during a sunset.

If they pick it up and throw it to the treetop on the left, the Kongs can jump on the rolling steel keg to ride through most of the beginning portion of the level. After another vine, there is a curved trail of bananas nearby that lead to a solid area of land with a [[DK Barrel]] and two [[Klaptrap]]s on it. This area is followed by an abyss with more treetops connected by vines with [[Kritter]]s hopping along them and a Zinger circling the [[KONG Letters|K Letter]] in the middle. More treetops are ahead, and all of them have vines. The Kongs can then find a large piece of land that consists of many ledges that hold a few Klaptraps. A small platform between [[pit]]s holds the letter O. They can also find a crate containing [[Expresso]] on the top of the area, which is followed by treetops with the level's [[Star Barrel|Continue Barrel]].

A second DK Barrel is found on another tree following an abyss. After passing some more treetops with [[Manky Kong]]s and a tree with another Steel Barrel, there is a small pit followed by two more trees that are connected to another pair of trees with a vine. After passing another Manky Kong, the Kongs can reach an area of land that consists of a few large ledges. After that, there is a that leads to a Klaptrap and the letter N. They can find an additional Klaptrap on a higher part of the large platform, which is immediately followed by a pair of trees that hold a DK Barrel. After that, there are more sets of trees, vines, enemies, and Manky Kongs.

The Kongs then reach another large area of land that features a large alcov with a barrel. The Kongs can also find a tall piece of land behind it that they can reach with Expresso. This area contains a Tire that can help the Kongs break two ground patches that release items. After passing through the rest of the area, they can find two pairs of trees that are connected by twisted vines. Once a Manky Kong is passed, there is a large area of land with a sign on it. A tunnel leading out of the level is located after the Kongs climb over a raised piece of land with a Kritter on it.

|'''''Spell it Out!'''''<br>After freeing Expresso from his animal crate, the Kongs and Expresso must backtrack to the first DK Barrel of the level. The Kongs can defeat the bouncing Kritters along the way so that Expresso does not hit into them and run away. From the first DK Barrel, Expresso must jump off the left edge and flap all the way down to the bottom-left area of the level; from there, the Kongs and Expresso can land on a hidden platform with an opening. By walking into the opening, the Kongs enter the first Bonus Level. In the Bonus Level, the Kongs must jump at orbiting letters to spell out the names of the four Animal Friends, in order of: [[Winky the Frog|Winky]], [[Rambi the Rhino|Rambi]], [[Enguarde the Swordfish|Enguarde]], and [[Expresso the Ostrich|Expresso]]. For each Animal Friend's name that the Kongs spell correctly, they are rewarded an [[animal token]] of that Animal Friend. After winning or losing, the Kongs exit back into the main level.


In the Game Boy Advance version, the Kongs only spell out "Winky" because in that version, if they get three animal tokens, they do not continue to an Animal Bonus until after the Bonus Level is completed.
*'''''Spell it Out!''''': Reaching the first one requires Expresso. From the first DK Barrel, Expresso must jump off the left edge and flap all the way down to the bottom left of the level; from there, he and the Kongs can land on a hidden platform with an opening that leads to the first Bonus Level. Here, the Kongs must jump at orbiting letters to spell out the names of the four Animal Friends, in order of: [[Winky]], [[Rambi]], [[Enguarde]], and [[Expresso]]. For each Animal Friend's name that the Kongs spell correctly, they are rewarded an [[animal token]] of that Animal Friend. In the Game Boy Advance version, the Kongs only spell out "Winky", because if they get three animal tokens, they do not continue to an Animal Bonus until after the Bonus Level is completed.
|-
*'''''Collect the Prizes!''''': Reaching the second Bonus Level also requires Expresso. He and the Kongs must go to where the letter N is, jump off of the cliff, and glide over an abyss until reaching a platform. From there, Expresso has to glide over another abyss and land on a platform with a barrel, which can break open a wall on the right, opening access to the Bonus Level. There, the Kongs must bounce on a floating round tire to land on three ground patches, which hide a [[DK Barrel]], a [[Red Balloon|Life Balloon]], and a [[Banana Bunch]], respectively. Donkey Kong and Diddy can exit through a small opening to the right.
|align=center|[[File:OrangutanGangBonus2.png]]
*'''''Collect the Prizes!''''': After the letter N, the Kongs must cross another set of treetops and pass two bouncing Kritters, then two Manky Kongs, and another two bouncing Kritters. The Kongs must pick up a nearby barrel, drop with it in a gap between the ground and treetop, move past a tire stuck in the ground, and go down another gap and hit the barrel against the left wall in the second gap to reveal the Bonus Level entrance. They have to bounce on a tire and land on two distinguished patches on the ground to win either two Life Balloons or two Banana Bunches, one per ground patch. Once done, the Kongs can exit to the right. (In the original version, there is a glitch where if the Kongs bounce on the nearby tire, the opened cave closes back up.)
|'''''Collect the Prizes!'''''<br>To get in the second Bonus Level, the Kongs must must have Expresso with them and then travel to the area with the letter N. Expresso must jump off the cliff and glide over an abyss to the right until he lands on a platform. From there, he must glide over another abyss and land on a platform with a barrel. The Kongs must dismount Expresso and use the barrel to break open a wall on the right, and then walk into the opening to access the Bonus Level. There, the Kongs must bounce on a floating round tire to land on three ground patches. From left to right, the items hid under the respective patches are: a [[DK Barrel]], a [[Red Balloon|Life Balloon]], and a [[Banana Bunch]]. Donkey Kong and Diddy can exit through a small opening to the right.
*'''''Collect the Prizes!''''': The fourth Bonus Level is accessed similarly to the third one, but instead of dropping into the gap with the third Bonus Level, the Kongs must jump over the gap and run the barrel into a wall to the right. This creates an opening into the Bonus Level, which looks almost the same as the second and third ones, except that there is only one patch on the ground, and it contains the letter G. They can exit the area to the right.
|-
*'''''Find the Exit!''''': To access the Bonus Level, the Kongs must jump over the last Manky Kong, near the third and fourth Bonus Levels. They must wait for Manky Kong to throw a barrel, which rolls along the ground before eventually hitting a nearby wall to the left of an arrow sign pointing to the nearby exit. It creates an opening in the wall, which the Kongs must walk into to enter the stage's fifth and final Bonus Level. There, they must break an Expresso Crate and ride him over a wide abyss. There are four groups of bananas pointing to the right. A platform with a Life Balloon is at the other end, along with the exit.
|align=center|[[File:OrangutanGangBonus4.png]]
|'''''Collect the Prizes!'''''<br>After the letter N, the Kongs must go across another set of treetops and pass two bouncing Kritters and two Manky Kongs. After this, they must continue by another two bouncing Kritters and then pick up a barrel. (They must avoid Manky's barrels hit the barrel or else they lose a chance to enter the Bonus Level) Once they pick up the barrel, Donkey Kong and Diddy must drop into a gap between the ground and treetop, move past a tire stuck in the ground, and go down another gap and hit the barrel against the left wall in the second gap. They must then walk into the opening to enter the Bonus Level.


There, Donkey Kong and Diddy must bounce on a tire and land on two distinguished patches on the ground to win either two Life Balloons or two Banana Bunches, one per ground patch.

Orang-Utan Gang, originally called Orang-utan Gang, also spelled Orang Utan Gang[1], is the fifteenth level of Donkey Kong Country and the fifth level of Vine Valley. In the Game Boy Advance remake, Orang-utan Gang was shifted to the fourth level of Vine Valley, making it the fourteenth level overall. Orang-utan Gang is the last jungle level, and it involves Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong having to walk along the treetops. It is the first level with Manky Kongs, who stand on the treetops and throw barrels at the Kongs. Shortly before the Continue Barrel is an animal crate containing Expresso. There are five Bonus Levels in Orang-utan Gang, more than in any level of the Donkey Kong Country series.

The Kongs begin the level on a line of treetops. The sets of trees in the level are connected by vines that Kritters bounce along. Behind the start, they can find a Zinger circling a Steel Barrel. They can pick up a steel keg on a tree, circled by a Zinger. If they pick it up and throw it to the treetop on the left, the Kongs can jump on the rolling steel keg to ride through most of the beginning portion of the level. After another vine, there is a curved trail of bananas nearby that lead to a solid area of land with a DK Barrel and two Klaptraps on it. This area is followed by an abyss with more treetops connected by vines with Kritters hopping along them and a Zinger circling the K Letter in the middle. More treetops are ahead, and all of them have vines. The Kongs can then find a large piece of land that consists of many ledges that hold a few Klaptraps. A small platform between pits holds the letter O. They can also find a crate containing Expresso on the top of the area, which is followed by treetops with the level's Continue Barrel.

A second DK Barrel is found on another tree following an abyss. After passing some more treetops with Manky Kongs and a tree with another Steel Barrel, there is a small pit followed by two more trees that are connected to another pair of trees with a vine. After passing another Manky Kong, the Kongs can reach an area of land that consists of a few large ledges. After that, there is a that leads to a Klaptrap and the letter N. They can find an additional Klaptrap on a higher part of the large platform, which is immediately followed by a pair of trees that hold a DK Barrel. After that, there are more sets of trees, vines, enemies, and Manky Kongs.

The Kongs then reach another large area of land that features a large alcove with a barrel. The Kongs can also find a tall piece of land behind it that they can reach with Expresso. This area contains a Tire that can help the Kongs break two ground patches that release items. After passing through the rest of the area, they can find two pairs of trees that are connected by twisted vines. Once a Manky Kong is passed, there is a large area of land with a sign on it. The exit is located after the Kongs climb over a raised piece of land with a Kritter on it, and entering it unlocks Clam City.

The location of the letter K
  • K: Near the start, the letter K is over a small gap, circled by a Zinger, after some bouncing Kritters.
  • O: The letter O is on a small platform directly under the Expresso Crate. The Kongs must do a small jump to go across the small abyss, else they land on the ground above.
  • N: An area full of Klaptraps is located immediately before the second DK Barrel from the Continue Barrel. The letter N stands on the edge of a low cliff at the bottom of this area.
  • G: Inside the fourth bonus level, the Kongs must bounce from a floating, round tire to pound a weak spot in the ground, revealing it.

Key items[edit]

  • Photograph (Game Boy Advance version only): Expresso flies into the photograph on the path to the first Bonus Level. The photograph shows an image of Diddy Kong riding Expresso in the scrapbook.

Bonus Levels[edit]

Orang-utan Gang has five Bonus Levels, listed by their type in the Game Boy Advance version:

  • Spell it Out!: Reaching the first one requires Expresso. From the first DK Barrel, Expresso must jump off the left edge and flap all the way down to the bottom left of the level; from there, he and the Kongs can land on a hidden platform with an opening that leads to the first Bonus Level. Here, the Kongs must jump at orbiting letters to spell out the names of the four Animal Friends, in order of: Winky, Rambi, Enguarde, and Expresso. For each Animal Friend's name that the Kongs spell correctly, they are rewarded an animal token of that Animal Friend. In the Game Boy Advance version, the Kongs only spell out "Winky", because if they get three animal tokens, they do not continue to an Animal Bonus until after the Bonus Level is completed.
  • Collect the Prizes!: Reaching the second Bonus Level also requires Expresso. He and the Kongs must go to where the letter N is, jump off of the cliff, and glide over an abyss until reaching a platform. From there, Expresso has to glide over another abyss and land on a platform with a barrel, which can break open a wall on the right, opening access to the Bonus Level. There, the Kongs must bounce on a floating round tire to land on three ground patches, which hide a DK Barrel, a Life Balloon, and a Banana Bunch, respectively. Donkey Kong and Diddy can exit through a small opening to the right.
  • Collect the Prizes!: After the letter N, the Kongs must cross another set of treetops and pass two bouncing Kritters, then two Manky Kongs, and another two bouncing Kritters. The Kongs must pick up a nearby barrel, drop with it in a gap between the ground and treetop, move past a tire stuck in the ground, and go down another gap and hit the barrel against the left wall in the second gap to reveal the Bonus Level entrance. They have to bounce on a tire and land on two distinguished patches on the ground to win either two Life Balloons or two Banana Bunches, one per ground patch. Once done, the Kongs can exit to the right. (In the original version, there is a glitch where if the Kongs bounce on the nearby tire, the opened cave closes back up.)
  • Collect the Prizes!: The fourth Bonus Level is accessed similarly to the third one, but instead of dropping into the gap with the third Bonus Level, the Kongs must jump over the gap and run the barrel into a wall to the right. This creates an opening into the Bonus Level, which looks almost the same as the second and third ones, except that there is only one patch on the ground, and it contains the letter G. They can exit the area to the right.
  • Find the Exit!: To access the Bonus Level, the Kongs must jump over the last Manky Kong, near the third and fourth Bonus Levels. They must wait for Manky Kong to throw a barrel, which rolls along the ground before eventually hitting a nearby wall to the left of an arrow sign pointing to the nearby exit. It creates an opening in the wall, which the Kongs must walk into to enter the stage's fifth and final Bonus Level. There, they must break an Expresso Crate and ride him over a wide abyss. There are four groups of bananas pointing to the right. A platform with a Life Balloon is at the other end, along with the exit.
