After showing the barrels to Cranky Kong™, they learn the barrels are really a legendary musical instrument that plays music not only when you drum on it, but also when you clap. Donkey Kong christens the instrument the DK Bongo, and he and Diddy decide that they will become famous musicians, get rich and buy all the bananas they could ever want. a b Casamassina, Matt (March 11, 2005).

Using the DK Bongos presented some challenges; since the controller restricted the player's movements, EAD Tokyo had to conceive new game mechanics as a workaround. [5] The developers chose to change the camera angle when Donkey Kong encounters an enemy—altering the control scheme as a result—to keep his abilities and the action varied. [11] The automatic camera also allowed Koizumi to avoid camera problems he found in previous 3D games that he had worked on. [12] EAD Tokyo prioritized simplicity; [13] Shimizu said that because contemporary video games took considerable time to complete and lost appeal if an individual had to stop playing, Jungle Beat 's levels were designed to take between five and ten minutes without any shortcuts. [11] [13] He felt that the game would appeal to a busy person because it did not contain long save or load times. [13] Casamassina, Matt (March 8, 2005). "Apes Run Rampant". IGN.

About The Game

On the other hand, the battle mode is strictly a head-to-head versus experience, in which two players try to outscore each other. The game adds a bit of chance to the battle mode with the introduction of a few special icons. The game borrows the "POW" icon from the original Mario Bros., and, when hit, this icon will take away a chunk of your opponent's score. A slot-machine interface will also randomly appear during battle mode, and at the same time you'll get three drum icons with the word "stop" over them. If you can hit all three of these icons with the same level of accuracy, you'll get a substantial point bonus. If competition, be it against the computer or another player, isn't your thing, the jam mode strips out any point tallies and lets up to four players just play.
