The best explanation I can come up with is that they aren't jungle levels at all in DKC3, they're really supposed to be Rainforest levels. There are rainforests on the west coast of Canada (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Bear_Rainforest) but there aren't any Rainforests are characterized by being a lot more dense than jungles and not allowing as much sunlight to reach the ground. When comparing the levels in DKC3 with the jungle levels in DKC2, the DKC3 levels use much darker colors compared to the bright colors and well lit backgrounds of DKC2. The final piece of evidence I have for the fact that DKC3's levels are supposed to be rainforests is that their background is a recolor of the background of the forest levels from DKC1 (https://www.spriters-resource.com/snes/dkc/sheet/45121/), implying the devs wanted to go for a forest aesthetic instead of a jungle one.
