'''''Donkey Konga''''' is a rhythm game for the Nintendo Gamecube released in [[2003]]. The game is played with the special [[DK Bongos]] controller, though it can also be played with the regular GameCube controller.
  
   
  +
'''''Donkey Konga''''' is a [[Donkey Kong (series)|''Donkey Kong'']] video game for the [[Nintendo GameCube]]. It was developed by [[Namco]] and published by Nintendo in 2003 in Japan and 2004 overseas. It is the first installment of the ''Donkey Konga'' series. ''Donkey Konga'' is notable for being the first game to be compatible with the DK Bongos.
−
The game has 29 tracks of varied genres such as rock, pop, children's songs and Nintendo songs. When a level starts, barrels with colored rings called "notes" roll across the screen. Near the end of the row there's a "target ring". The player must hit the note right as it rolls in front of the target. There are 4 types of notes: yellow for left drum, red for right drum, pink for both drums and the clap note.
  
   
  +
''Donkey Konga'' eventually received two sequels: ''[[Donkey Konga 2]]'' and the Japan-exclusive ''Donkey Konga 3: Tabehōdai! Haru Mogitate 50 Kyoku''.
−
Each world region has a different list of songs.
  
   
  +
==Story==
−
{{Br}}
  
  +
[[Donkey Kong (character)|Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] are strolling across a beach and suddenly find a mysterious pair of barrels. DK attempts to open it but is stopped by Diddy, who believes it is a trap from [[King K. Rool]].
   
  +
Following Diddy's advice, the duo take the barrels to [[Cranky Kong]]. Cranky chuckles and explains that they are bongos. DK decides to call them the "DK Bongos", and he plays on them. Diddy comments that DK is bad at the bongos, and he tries the bongos. DK, in turn, laughs and claims that Diddy plays the bongos poorly. He claps, which cause the bongos to glow. Cranky explains that the instrument glows and makes noises from detecting clapping.

  +
In response, Donkey Kong and Diddy perform and clap with the bongos more. After they make a lot of loud noise, DK becomes discouraged and admits that him and Diddy are not good at playing the bongos. Cranky explains that nobody starts out as a professional and that their performance gradually improves from practicing. DK initially mentions his dislike of practicing but suddenly has the idea to become good at the bongos and become famous, which Cranky believes to be a possibility. DK and Diddy daydream and focus on becoming rich and owning lots of bananas. Cranky sighs and reminds them again to practice, which the two head out to do.
  +
  +
==Gameplay==
  +
The main gameplay is largely identical to the ''[[wikipedia:Taiko no Tatsujin|Taiko no Tatsujin]]'' games, which were also designed by the same developers. The player has the option to utilize the DK Bongos or a standard GameCube controller. During gameplay, the player controls Donkey Kong, whose goal is to hit scrolling notes, known as beats. They must hit it with accurate timing when it moves under a cursor on the far left. There are four types of beats (red, light blue, yellow, and purple), and are each associated with a different button. A word appears on screen for every passing note, and the displayed word is based on the accuracy of the player hitting the beat. A combo is displayed if the player hits two or more consecutive beats, but it vanishes if the player misses a beat.

Donkey Konga   [Edit]   [Talk]

Donkey Konga is a Donkey Kong video game for the Nintendo GameCube. It was developed by Namco and published by Nintendo in 2003 in Japan and 2004 overseas. It is the first installment of the Donkey Konga series. Donkey Konga is notable for being the first game to be compatible with the DK Bongos.

Donkey Konga eventually received two sequels: Donkey Konga 2 and the Japan-exclusive Donkey Konga 3: Tabehōdai! Haru Mogitate 50 Kyoku.

Story

Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong are strolling across a beach and suddenly find a mysterious pair of barrels. DK attempts to open it but is stopped by Diddy, who believes it is a trap from King K. Rool.

Following Diddy's advice, the duo take the barrels to Cranky Kong. Cranky chuckles and explains that they are bongos. DK decides to call them the "DK Bongos", and he plays on them. Diddy comments that DK is bad at the bongos, and he tries the bongos. DK, in turn, laughs and claims that Diddy plays the bongos poorly. He claps, which cause the bongos to glow. Cranky explains that the instrument glows and makes noises from detecting clapping.

In response, Donkey Kong and Diddy perform and clap with the bongos more. After they make a lot of loud noise, DK becomes discouraged and admits that him and Diddy are not good at playing the bongos. Cranky explains that nobody starts out as a professional and that their performance gradually improves from practicing. DK initially mentions his dislike of practicing but suddenly has the idea to become good at the bongos and become famous, which Cranky believes to be a possibility. DK and Diddy daydream and focus on becoming rich and owning lots of bananas. Cranky sighs and reminds them again to practice, which the two head out to do.

Gameplay

The main gameplay is largely identical to the Taiko no Tatsujin games, which were also designed by the same developers. The player has the option to utilize the DK Bongos or a standard GameCube controller. During gameplay, the player controls Donkey Kong, whose goal is to hit scrolling notes, known as beats. They must hit it with accurate timing when it moves under a cursor on the far left. There are four types of beats (red, light blue, yellow, and purple), and are each associated with a different button. A word appears on screen for every passing note, and the displayed word is based on the accuracy of the player hitting the beat. A combo is displayed if the player hits two or more consecutive beats, but it vanishes if the player misses a beat.
