In advance of the Jungle Jam Tournament, King K. Rool steals the competition's prize medals, and proclaims himself the jungle hero.

The game contains twenty regular levels and five boss levels, forming five worlds in total which the player must traverse. In Jungle Jam mode, players can play alone, against CPUs, or with three friends. There are five modes of play, including races, deathmatch, and a competition to break the most barrels. The eight playable characters include Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Dixie Kong, Funky Kong, Wrinkly Kong, Kremling, King K. Rool, and Bubbles from Clu Clu Land.
