Kongo Jungle (SSS)

:This article is strictly about how Kongo Jungle appears in Super Smash Stadium. For information about it in general, see its article on MarioWiki.
Kongo Jungle is an active stage on Super Smash Stadium. It debuted about halfway through Season 1 and was the 10th new stage to debut, as well as the first time that a new stage debut was actually acknowledged on-air. (The "Challenger Approaching!" graphic and other fanfare seen today didn't start until Season 6, with the debut of Yoshi's Island 1.) As in Smash 64, some documents misspell this stage's name as "Congo Jungle".
==Stage overview==
This stage is made up of a main large indented platform. Two slanted soft platforms float over its sides, and in the middle two more small soft platforms spin clockwise in a circle. The main platform can be passed through from below, but not from above.
Underneath the main platform is a Barrel Cannon. If you should fall into it, press either attack button to be launched out of it, but be warned that the barrel will sometimes rotate. You'll be launched out automatically after five seconds.
==Changes==
The last major change to this stage happened on its first playing in Season 20.
*The stage was originally in 8-bit, smaller, and lacked spinning platforms or a Barrel Cannon. Also, it was in the daytime.
*Sometime around Season 6, the graphics and music were upgraded.
*By Christmas in 1981, the Barrel Cannon was added.
*The first known experiments with rotating platforms happened in Season 14; at this point, the two platforms on the ends rotated. Used mostly on a short-lived primetime cable version, but known to have been seen at least twice in daytime, too.
*By Season 19, the rotating platforms in the center began to be used on a somewhat regular basis.
*On September 10, 1991, the daytime sky changed to a sunset.
*On November 2, 1993, the final playing of this stage without the rotating platforms in the center happened.
==In its own universe==
Jungles have been a major part of the Donkey Kong franchise ever since Donkey Kong Country 1. The sunset seen since Season 20 may reference the level Orangutan Gang specifically.
A draft exists for a "stormy" version of this stage, referencing Ropey Rampage, but it has yet to be seen.
