'''''Donkey Konga 2''''' is a [[GameCube]] video game developed by [[Namco]] and published by [[Nintendo]]. It is a sequel to ''[[Donkey Konga]]'' and was the last game in the series to be released outside of Japan. The American, Japanese and PAL versions all have different songs. The PAL version has the most overall, the American version comes in a close second, and the Japanese comes in a faraway third. All versions of the game have licensed songs, though some of the tracks featured are from popular Nintendo games such as ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'', ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', and of course ''Donkey Konga''.

==Story==
  +
[[Donkey Kong (character)|Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] were practicing the bongos; its energy was draining from the Kongs shouting and arguing with one another over their performance. [[Cranky Kong|Cranky]] and [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] show up and hear them arguing. The Kongs blame each other to Cranky, but Dixie looks at Diddy's bongos and tells him and DK that she was listening to them and claims their bongo playing is "way off". Dixie is about to play the bongos, and DK and Diddy doubt her capability of playing them. To their surprise, Dixie was very good at playing the bongos. After drumming, Dixie told DK and Diddy to work on their drumming skills, specifically citing their timing and accuracy.
  +
  +
Cranky told DK and Diddy that they can only improve by competing against other people. He mentions of the whole world with music, and that the Kongs should tour off the island to practice on their bongos. Diddy expressed his love for the idea while Donkey Kong was unaware of the entire situation. He asked what the big deal was and if they would have a tour guide. DK and Diddy fantasize and excitedly shout in unison of all the Bananas they would be able to eat. Dixie decides to join the Kongs, and says that they cannot leave the island without her bongo skills. Diddy gets annoyed at her statement and professes to be good at playing bongos. The opening ends with the three Kongs leaving the island, and Cranky asks himself if they are prepared for a world tour, hoping they would "break a leg".
  +
  +
==Gameplay==
  +
''Donkey Konga 2'' has largely similar gameplay to that of ''Donkey Konga''s. It retains its ''[[wikipedia:Taiko no Tatsujin|Taiko no Tatsujin]]''-based gameplay style. The player must hit the notes in conjunction with the song playing. A few unique modes appear in this game, including "Concert", "Freestyle Zone", and "Music Lab".
  +
  +
Aside from the story introduction, [[Dixie Kong]] has a role as a professional drummer. Sometimes, after completing a mode, Dixie provides advice to the player, known as "Dixie's Notes". Each bit of advice she provides is catalogued in the "Hall of Records" for the player to review. Dixie is also Donkey Kong's opponent in the Barrel Race mini-game.

Revision as of 20:24, 5 October 2019

Donkey Konga 2 is a Nintendo GameCube video game developed by NAMCO and published by Nintendo. It is a sequel to Donkey Konga and was the last game in the series to be released outside of Japan.

The American, Japanese and PAL versions all have different songs. The PAL version has the most overall, the American version comes in a close second, and the Japanese comes in a faraway third.

All versions of the game have licensed songs, though some of the tracks featured are from popular Nintendo games such as Super Mario Bros. 3, The Legend of Zelda, Pikmin 2, and of course Donkey Konga. This edition of Donkey Konga is rated T for teenagers in North America due to the inclusion of inappropriate language in some lyrics. 

Like all the Donkey Kong video games on the GameCube, Donkey Konga 2 makes use of the DK Bongos introduced in the original Donkey Konga. For more information on the accessory, go to its corresponding page.

Story

Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong were practicing the bongos; its energy was draining from the Kongs shouting and arguing with one another over their performance. Cranky and Dixie show up and hear them arguing. The Kongs blame each other to Cranky, but Dixie looks at Diddy's bongos and tells him and DK that she was listening to them and claims their bongo playing is "way off". Dixie is about to play the bongos, and DK and Diddy doubt her capability of playing them. To their surprise, Dixie was very good at playing the bongos. After drumming, Dixie told DK and Diddy to work on their drumming skills, specifically citing their timing and accuracy.

Cranky told DK and Diddy that they can only improve by competing against other people. He mentions of the whole world with music, and that the Kongs should tour off the island to practice on their bongos. Diddy expressed his love for the idea while Donkey Kong was unaware of the entire situation. He asked what the big deal was and if they would have a tour guide. DK and Diddy fantasize and excitedly shout in unison of all the Bananas they would be able to eat. Dixie decides to join the Kongs, and says that they cannot leave the island without her bongo skills. Diddy gets annoyed at her statement and professes to be good at playing bongos. The opening ends with the three Kongs leaving the island, and Cranky asks himself if they are prepared for a world tour, hoping they would "break a leg".

Gameplay

Donkey Konga 2 has largely similar gameplay to that of Donkey Kongas. It retains its Taiko no Tatsujin-based gameplay style. The player must hit the notes in conjunction with the song playing. A few unique modes appear in this game, including "Concert", "Freestyle Zone", and "Music Lab".

Aside from the story introduction, Dixie Kong has a role as a professional drummer. Sometimes, after completing a mode, Dixie provides advice to the player, known as "Dixie's Notes". Each bit of advice she provides is catalogued in the "Hall of Records" for the player to review. Dixie is also Donkey Kong's opponent in the Barrel Race mini-game.
