Which Nintendo DS game is a sequel to Donkey Kong: King of Swing?

Donkey Kong: Jungle Climber is the Nintendo DS sequel to Donkey Kong: King of Swing.

Released in 2007, Jungle Climber was developed by Paon and published by Nintendo. It continued the earlier game’s distinctive climbing-focused gameplay, in which players used the handheld’s controls to grab pegs, swing through stages, collect items, and guide Donkey Kong through obstacle-filled environments.

King of Swing had appeared on the Game Boy Advance in 2005, so Jungle Climber moved the concept to Nintendo’s dual-screen handheld. The sequel added dual-screen presentation and visual elements that more closely resembled the Donkey Kong Country style, while retaining the unusual puzzle-platforming structure.

The distractors belong to different parts of Donkey Kong history. Mario vs. Donkey Kong is a separate puzzle-platform series, Donkey Kong Land is a Game Boy platformer, and DK: King of Swing is the earlier Game Boy Advance title rather than the sequel. The shared “King of Swing” name makes that last option especially easy to confuse with the answer.
