Deep Jungle

Deep Jungle

Deep Jungle is a world featured in the Kingdom Hearts Unlimited Saga, first appearing only in backstory material for "The Journey" to explain Tarzan's backstory since its role in the story has been replaced by Madhya Pradesh, before making its full debut in "Return of the Keyblade" as an actual visited world. It is home to Tarzan and his ape tribe, as well as a set of explorers trying to learn more about the gorillas.

Settings and Areas

Mickey first enters Deep Jungle at a portal in the Tree House (樹上の家 Jujō no Ie?), where he battles Sabor and meets up with Tarzan. Jumping down from the netting below the house sends Mickey into the Tunnel (大穴 Ōana?, lit. "Large Hole"), where he can either use the save point, access the Treetop (最上層 Sai Jōsō?, lit. "Top Layer") and Climbing Trees (奥地の大樹 Okuchi no Taiju?, lit. "Large Tree's Interior") to head back to the Tree House, or jump into the log and begin the Jungle Slider mini-game.

Jungle Slider takes the party to the Camp (キャンプ Kyanpu?), where at the Tent (キャンプ：テント Kyanpu: Tento?, lit. "Camp: Tent") within the party can meet with Jane Porter and Professor Archimedes Porter and use the save point within. The east exit from the camp by the stove and experiment table leads to the Hippos' Lagoon (カバの沼 Kaba no Numa?), which can only be traversed with swimming, good timing, and well-aimed jumps. Heading across the Lagoon takes the party to two areas, Vines (巨木群 Kyoboku-gun?, lit. "Large Trees") and Vines 2 (ジャングル：入口 Janguru: Iriguchi?, lit. "Jungle: Entrance"), which are home to the Vine Swinging mini-game. Vines 2 in turn leads back to the Climbing Trees.

Heading out the north entrance of the Camp by the clothesline takes the group to the Bamboo Thicket (竹やぶ Takeyabu?), and continuing through the Thicket leads to the Cliff (岩壁 Ganpeki?). After the last battle, Mickey and his party gain access to the Waterfall Cavern (滝の裏 Taki no Ura?, lit. "Behind the Waterfall"). The heroes are required to climb up the cavern. At the top of the cavern is an entrance to the Cavern of Hearts (こころの洞窟 Kokoro no Dōkutsu?), the supposed world-heart of Deep Jungle, where the sound of the waterfalls echo and where the Keyhole is sealed.

Notice that in the Climbing Trees area of this world, there is a different means of moving throughout the area called Vine Swinging. This is simply the process of jumping from one vine to the other to get from platform to platform.
