* In ''Snoopy's Grand Adventure'', the first world, "Peppermint Jungle", takes place in a jungle, where the goal is to rescue Peppermint Patty. Enemies in this world include snakes, spiders, bats, and fish. The boss of this world is a giant wooden mask that resembles Peppermint Patty, which you defeat by tossing baseballs at it via seesaws.

* Real-life example: Adventureland at the Ride/DisneyThemeParks, especially the Jungle Cruise, Tarzan's Treehouse (aka the Swiss Family Treehouse), and the Enchanted Tiki Room. Also includes PiratesOfTheCaribbean, which evokes GangplankGalleon. In ''DisneyEpicMickey'', [[{{Expy}} "Ventureland"]] likewise has an area aptly named the Jungle.

* 'The video game of ''{{WesternAnimation/The Jungle Book}}'' is about 90 percent this, naturally.

* The aptly-named (and ''Disney/{{Tarzan}}''-themed) Deep Jungle in ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts''. ''Birth by Sleep'' would have had a level based on ''Disney/TheJungleBook'', but it was dropped mid-development.

* Over half of the levels in the original ''Videogame/CrashBandicoot1996'' were like this, and levels of this sort kept showing up quite often.

* The Angel Island (''[[VideoGame/Sonic3AndKnuckles Sonic 3]]''), Green Forest and White Jungle zones (''VideoGame/SonicAdventure2'') in the ''SonicTheHedgehog'' series. For a change, the second half of the Angel Island zone is on ''fire''.
** Similarly, ''VideoGame/BeetleAdventureRacing'' had ''Inferno Isle'', a tropical Island that, while mostly being Jungle, had a small town, a volcano, a ''Franchise/JurassicPark'' section that featured ''a T. Rex lunging out at your car'' and, of course, a town of huts on fire in the final stretch.

* The first world in ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry'' (what the ''[=DK64=]'' stage was modeled after) is called Kongo Jungle. The Lost World in ''Donkey Kong Country 2'' and ''3'' also use this environment, as does Kaos Kore in ''Donkey Kong Country 3'' and the first world of ''Donkey Kong 64''.

** ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountryTropicalFreeze'' has Juicy Jungle, which [[HailfirePeaks combines]] this with EternalEngine.

* Yoshi's Island is depicted this way in most incarnations (''[[SuperMarioBros Super Mario World]]'', ''VideoGame/SuperMarioRPG'', ''VideoGame/PaperMario'', etc.) The only exception is ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', where the island is the entire game world, and therefore has a wider range of environs.
** Of course, it had its own JungleJapes.

* The first two games of the ''VideoGame/PaperMario'' series each have one, and they're both in Chapter 5 (out of 8) of their respective games. The Land of the Cragnons from [[VideoGame/SuperPaperMario the third game]] is more {{Prehistoria}}, but it does have some elements of this trope. World 5 of ''VideoGame/PaperMarioStickerStar'', the aptly-named Shy Guy Jungle, plays this straight for the first few levels but switches to LethalLavaLand for the last two.
** ''VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine'' had Pianta Village.

* Real-life example: Adventureland at the DisneyThemeParks, especially the Jungle Cruise, Tarzan's Treehouse (aka the Swiss Family Treehouse), and the Enchanted Tiki Room. Also includes PiratesOfTheCaribbean, which evokes GangplankGalleon.
** In ''DisneyEpicMickey'', [[{{Expy}} "Ventureland"]] likewise has an area aptly named the Jungle.
* ''{{Metroid}} Fusion'' has Sector 2 (TRO), an artificially created and maintained jungle environment... that's getting a little out of control.
** Brinstar can be a bit of a jungle at times, in both Super and Zero Mission. MetroidPrime features the Tallon Overworld, with elements of this, acting as the landing area. Prime 3 features Bryyo, which has a thorn jungle sub-area within it. And OtherM has Sector 1, the Biosphere, which is mostly an artificial jungle. Plants try to eat you and stuff like that. The backgrounds are pretty, but they are artificial, and once you find the generators, soon replaced by the space station architecture. It tends to rain (Tallon Overworld and the Biosphere certainly).

* The Maguuma Jungle of ''GuildWars'', though it occurs later in the game than usual for this trope. The main hazards here are killer plants, giant bugs, the occasional centaur tribe, and the army of the local ChurchMilitant that's out for your blood.
** Also the Tarnished Coast, which has dinosaurs, frogmen, and snakemen along with most of the above

* The TropeNamer is also used as [[http://www.ssbwiki.com/File:JungleJapes.jpg a stage]] in ''SuperSmashBros Melee'' and ''Brawl'', featuring two small side platforms, a main stage with a platform hanging low above it, rushing water below (in ''Melee'', it just pushes you very quickly; in ''Brawl'', you can swim in it, but staying in it for any length of time is suicidal), and crocodile-like Klaptraps which periodically attacks the spaces between the platforms. The original Nintendo 64 game also featured [[SpellMyNameWithAnS C/K]][[http://www.ssbwiki.com/File:Congojungle.jpg ongo Jungle]] ([[NamesTheSame not to be confused with]] the ''Melee'' version), which had its own complex platform layout and a barrel underneath that can save lucky (or savvy) players.

* The first world in ''[[VideoGame/{{Something}} Something Else]]''. Luigi has to deal with Hoopsters, Fake Yoshis, Fruit Vines, and Upside-Down Ninji. It's also filled with ruins and a cave filled with ElectricJellyfish.

* ''Videogame/{{EverQuest}}'' has several. The Feerott (homeland of the ogres and lizardmen), the Emerald Jungle and Trakanon's Teeth (full of ruined cities and too many dangerous creatures to be anyone's homeland)
* ''Videogame/{{EverQuest II}} brings back The Feerott and combines Emerald Jungle and Trakanon's Teeth into a new zone called the Kunzar Jungle. Then there's the Eidolon Jungle, an extraplanar reflection of The Feerott.
* ''Videogame/{{EverQuest II}}'' has

** Sadly, ''VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine'' didn't have one, unless Pianta Village counts.

* ''VideoGame/{{Diablo}} II'' has the Kurast Jungle.

* 'The video game of ''{{WesternAnimation/The Jungle Book}}'' is about 90 percent this, naturally.

* Several areas in [[WorldOfWarcraft Azeroth]] are jungles, most notably Stranglethorn Vale, home to wild cats, a GreatWhiteHunter, and various angry natives. Other examples include [[LostWoods Feralas]], [[EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs Un'Goro Crater]], and [[LostWorld Sholazar Basin]].

* Web Spider's stage in ''VideoGame/MegaManX 4'' is this in spades.

* Web Spider's stage in MegaManX 4 is this in spades.
** Neon Tiger's stage in ''MegaManX3''.
** Napalm Man's stage in ''MegaMan5'' has elements of this, as well as Plant Man's stage in ''MegaMan6''.

The big brother of TheLostWoods. Jungle stages are natually more tropical in nature, and often feature vines to swing from {{Tarzan}}-style. Ruins of cities and [[{{Mayincatec}} Mesoamerican]]-style pyramids are common, and any water is likely to contain crocodiles, piranha or both.

* The MonkeyIsland series is almost nothing but JungleJapes and GangplankGalleon stages.

* ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' has Stranglethorn Vale (which is further split into Northern Stranglethorn and the Cape of Stranglethorn). Feralas and Un'Goro Crater also seem to fit the definition. ''Mists of Pandaria'' also brings us the Krasarang Wilds.
