The game featured two modes: Music Quiz and Donkey Band. Two songs are shown on the three released promo pictures: the 1962 Japanese translation of "{{wp|I've Been Working on the Railroad}}" by Satoshi Saki and the 1960 nursery rhyme "''Inu no Omawari-san''" by Yoshida Sato and Ai Tsuchida. | The game featured two modes: Music Quiz and Donkey Band.

According to Ichirou Sakurada, a former [[Hudson Soft]] employee, ''Donkey Kong no Ongaku Asobi''{{'}}s main reason for cancelation was that it featured songs originally written by {{wp|Seiko Matsuda}}, a popular Japanese singer. Nintendo lost the rights to these songs (or possibly never had them to begin with) before the game's scheduled release, and it would have been difficult to import new music over them. Furthermore, there were very few songs in the game at all, with the limited storage capacity of early Famicom games not being able to hold much data. This cartridge was given to Hudson Soft during their development of the [[Family BASIC]] accessory as sample software.<ref>https://famicoms.net/blog-entry-2236.html (Japanese)</ref> | According to Ichirou Sakurada, a former [[Hudson Soft]] employee, ''Donkey Kong no Ongaku Asobi''{{'}}s main reason for cancelation was that it featured many songs originally written by {{wp|Seiko Matsuda}}, a popular Japanese singer.
