Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat is the second game that Nintendo has launched using the DK Bongos, the first being Donkey Konga which launched in October 2004. In this musical bonanza, players hit the specially designed bongo controllers in time to a selection of pop, rock, disco, jazz and classical tracks, progressing through the levels to become the ultimate king or queen of the bongos.
Both Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat and Donkey Konga are original and unique games from Nintendo for Nintendo GameCube, allowing players to experience videogames in a completely new and innovative way. It's fun to play and guarantees hours of fun.
Donkey Kong made his first appearance in the worldwide smash-hit arcade game Donkey Kong in 1981. He appeared in several arcade sequels after, and in the mid-nineties received new-found popularity in the successful Donkey Kong Country series of games on SNES. Donkey Kong has since appeared in many immensely popular games such as Mario Golf, Mario Tennis, Mario Kart or Super Smash Bros., and more recently in the released Donkey Kong Country series as well as the brand new Mario vs. Donkey Kong game on Game Boy Advance. On Nintendo GameCube, there have been appearances in Mario Kart: Double Dash!! Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour and the recently launched music rhythm game Donkey Konga.
