Appearances[edit]
Anime[edit]
Digimon Adventure[edit]
First appeared in "Adrift? The Island of Adventure!", the Tropical Jungle makes an unnamed appearance as the jungle where the Chosen Children first arrived to in File Island. It has trees which are actually just holograms projecting the image of one. It is here that they met each of their Partner Digimon, which evolved from Baby II level to Child level to defend the Chosen Children from a wild Kuwagamon.
The jungle's Naked Beach makes an unnamed appearance as well in "Explosive Evolution! Greymon", as a beach with many telephone booths, with none of the phones working properly. The beach is the territory of a Shellmon. It is here that Yagami Taichi's partner Digimon, Agumon, evolved for the first time into Greymon and fended off the Shellmon when it attacks the group for intruding on its territory.
In "Centalmon the Guardian!", Tachikawa Mimi lands on a portion of Tropical Jungle across from the portion with the Ancient Dino Region after Devimon splits up File Island. Scumon and Tyumon attempts to rob her, but they turn good once they come in contact with Mimi's Digivice. Mimi then goes to Ancient Dino Region with the help of Palmon's Poison Ivy.
Video Games[edit]
Digimon World[edit]
Tropical Jungle is very loud during daytime, with screams that resemble that of tribesmen. If the Player is lucky enough, he will be able to see Piccolomon at the Naked Beach, flapping its wings. If challenged, be prepared for a difficult battle. However, if it is defeated, it can be convinced to join the Village of Beginnings. There has been reports of a strange plant in the middle of the jungle, which grows once in a while and has an eerie odor. If it is watered, it will grow into Vegimon. Also, in the Mangrove Region a Betamon seems to be unoccupied, and can be easily convinced to join the Village after being defeated.
Digimon World: Digital Card Battle[edit]
Tropica Jungle lies on the eastern side of File Island, and can be reached via the Digi Bridge in Unwavering Forest. Its Naked Beach is said to look just like a seaside resort, and is a great spot for sunbathing. To get to the deeper reaches of the jungle, one must past through the Mangrove.
Digimon Adventure[edit]
First appeared in the first episode of the game, "Adrift? The Island of Adventure!" (漂流？冒険の島！ Houryū? Bouken no Shima!), the Chosen Children arrive to File Island in Tropical Jungle, where they are soon attacked by a Kuwagamon.
In the second episode "Explosive Evolution! Greymon" (爆裂進化！グレイモン Bakuretsu Shinka! Gureimon), the Chosen Children arrive to the jungle's beach, which has 5 phone booths, none of which is working properly. They are soon attacked by a Shellmon.
The Chosen Children return to the Naked Beach in Episode 50, "Nostalgic Beach" and Episode 51, "The Raging King of the Seas! Metal Seadramon", though it's now part of Spiral Mountain. They fight Shellmon once again, as well as the Dark Master Metal Seadramon and his minion, Anomalocarimon. After Metal Seadramon is killed, the ocean stops being part of Spiral Mountain. However, this comes with a cost: Whamon's life, so in Sub-Episode 18, "Memories of Whamon", which happens after Episode 51, "The Raging King of the Seas! Metal Seadramon", Tachikawa Mimi proposes making a grave for him, which everyone agrees with, and they ultimately make a grave for him with flowers collected in the area.
