If guests don't enter Yoshi's Island they will be able to continue walking towards Donkey Kong Country which is anchored by DK Mountain. The path goes around DK Mountain, and it allows guests to discover the various buildings and attractions that the Kongs have set up. While going around this circle guests will be able to enter and exit Nook's Tropical Getaway, an Animal Crossing resort, as well as another entrance/exit for Yoshi's Island.

Exiting the DK Path guests will find themselves in the heart of the jungle which is home to Ring-a-ring Cantina, a quick service themed to Ring Fit Adventure. Ring-a-ring Cantina's placement was chosen as a way to segue into Traverse Town due to both Kingdom Hearts and Ring Fit Adventure intertwining fantastical creatures and human beings. This connection is important as guests who had left Questland to enter Traverse Town would have had to pass the Cantina on their way to the Kingdom Hearts based land. In fact the entire Cantina is flanked on both sides with entrances into Traverse Town so had a guest not chosen to go to Traverse Town earlier they would have plenty of other entrances. The multiple entrances will also allow for better crowd flow and control as not all guests are being forced to enter and exit through one path.

Back onto the jungle path guests will begin to notice that the plants have begun to grow larger and more alien in appearance. An onion from the Pikmin series has taken root, and acts as the entrance for Pikmin: Trail of Hope. This adventure course has a large bridge that seems like a large collapsed tree going over the entire path. This bridge is both literal and figural as it acts as a bridge between the cartoonish jungle into the sci-fi jungle that plays home to Pikmin along with Metroid. Metroid: The Escape acts as the perfect segue between Future City and the Jungle of Pixels by providing a sci-fi set story in an alien jungle.

While it may be apparent to guests the flow of the land was a large importance when designing the land with each attraction, restaurant, and even store being strategically place in order to have a near perfect segue into each land's other theme.​

It is important to note that these maps are not to proper scale, and are more to give placement of each area.

As seen in the map there are many ways to enter the Jungle of Pixels. From Questland a fork is utilized to allow guests to flow farther into the jungle, or make a quick walk into Traverse Town. If guests decide to flow through the jungle they will encounter Yoshi's Island which thematically acts as a bridge between the more cartoonish and platforming based land that is Questland while still adding onto the jungle feel. Yoshi's Island will be a fully enclosed land that is three acres large, the façade of the building will be made up of various small hills from Super Mario World 2 and jungle foliage allowing it to blend into the background of both the Jungle of Pixels and Questland.
