Scarlet Crystal Crossing (スカーレット結晶クロッシング Sukāretto Kesshō Kurosshingu in Japanese) is the fifth stage in Kongo Jungle and also the fifth stage in Donkey Kong Country 4: The Kongs’ Return. It comes after Krochead Lake and before Kongo Capers.

Overview
Scarlet Crystal Crossing is a unique and rare type of stage called a “Crystal Jungle”. Scarlet Crystal Crossing is actually the first stage with the Crystal Jungle setting. The stage starts out simple with seven bananas and a Kobble, but as the Kongs progress, they must navigate several pits by climbing on ropes and ways to climb tall raised areas. Ropes are common in this stage, needed to climb to taller areas or secret barrels, but there will be enemies nearby. Basic enemies like Kritters, Slippas and Klaptraps lurk the ground areas, Bazukas and Kuchukas stay in place at the edge of raised areas, and other things.

It is the first Crystal Jungle stage, and introduces Kuchukas and Squitter the Spider.
