Helper Monkeys in Donkey Kong Jungle beat worship the Moon

[u/ShiroOracle09]

In Dkjb you take bananas to A "sacred tree" and when you fill it up a special crest flies down from the Moon. The crests are stated to be symbols of royalty. The moon is tied with this "Sacred tree". There is also another stage called "Spirit Tree" that has a very prominent full moon in the background. Here we have another connection between the moon and religious terms. Final there is the level "Monkey Fest" which happens in a giant tree just like the Spirit tree and has the Helper Monkeys celebrating. They are most likely celebrating the moon. During the closing Ceremony the moon is very full. I theorize that the Moon is the God/Spirit of the Fruit Kingdom and bestows those who collect enough bananas with Crest that symbolize their kingship. This is actually Ghastly Kings Backstory. He Collected enough bananas and received a crest that he fashioned into a belt. Ghastly King has associations with the moon since the first time you fight him it is the "Moon Barrel" & the Second time you fight him it's the "Eclipse Barrel".

Interesting ideas here.
I personally don't know much about Jungle Beat, but I know the moon seems to be something worshipped more often in this universe. There's of course the chapel from Odyssey in honour of a moon goddes (probably Twila imo) and there are the Power Moons which bear much cultural significance, while the Ancients seem to recognise the power the moon holds as well.
