Board #9: From Mario Party 9...DK's Jungle Ruins!


DK's Jungle Ruins is the seventh board featured in Mario Party 9, and can be unlocked by purchasing it from the Museum for 500 Party Points. This board is not playable in Solo mode, and is considerably different from the other six boards. This board appears to be heavily inspired by the game Donkey Kong Country Returns.
Instead of Mini Stars, players compete to acquire the most Bananas, and instead of Mini Ztars, players lose Bananas if they collect Z-Bananas.
Since this board is operated by Donkey Kong, players play games with the Kongs instead of having boss battles. The players play with Diddy Kong, instead of a mid-boss battle, and with DK himself, instead of a final boss battle. However, Bowser will still enter the scene to add Bowser Spaces after the players meet with the Green Toad. Fortunately, no Bowser Jr. Spaces are present, even if three or four players are playing. The Barrel Roller is the starting vehicle. The Jungle Junker and the DK's Banana Slider are unlockable.
