The Forest Layer is a layer in the Underground World of Donkey Kong Bananza , occupying sublayers 600 to 602. It can either be the sixth or the seventh layer visited, depending on if the player selects to go here or to the Freezer Layer in The Divide. It is a large forest with poison covering much of the sublayers, and is populated by ostriches. At the center of sublayer 600 is the Eggshell Hotel, which is a golden, egg-shaped hotel staffed by the ostriches, and is also where the Ostrich Elder is found.

Abracajabya serves as its boss.
