'''The Beast Is Back Tour''' was a promotional event organized by [[Nintendo]] to promote ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. The tour involved a large truck containing twelve [[Nintendo 64]] systems (each featuring a copy of ''Donkey Kong 64''), a person in a [[Donkey Kong]] costume, and presumably ''Donkey Kong 64''-related merchandise. | '''The Beast Is Back Tour''' was a promotional event organized by [[Nintendo]] to promote ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''.

Visitors also apparently had the opportunity to "practice their ape calls" in a contest (the winner of said contest got an arcade machine that played ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'' <ref name="IGN"/>). During the {{wp|Seattle}} portion of the tour, a donation was made to the {{wp|Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund}}.<ref name="IGN">{{cite|quote=|translation=|author=|date=Nomember 19, 1999|title=Busy Weekend for Donkey Kong|url=https://www.ign.com/articles/1999/11/20/busy-weekend-for-donkey-kong|format=|timestamp=|location=|publisher=|language=|website=IGN|isbn=|page=|accessdate=|archive=|archivedate=|archiver=|deadlink=}}</ref> | ||

''Without a doubt, Donkey Kong has to be the hardest working gorilla in show business. He just wrapped up work on his cross-country Beast Is Back tour, and now he's busy fighting [[King K.
