Box Art of Donkey Kong Jungle Beat.

Donkey Kong Jungle Beat is a platformer for the GameCube starring Donkey Kong. It is controlled with the DK Bongos. During the game's boss battles, the bongos control Donkey Kong's fists.

This was one of the first of the non-arcade Donkey Kong games not to be made by Rareware. After they left Nintendo and joined Microsoft, Rare lost control of the Donkey Kong series due to the fact that it was trademarked by Nintendo.

Donkey Kong Jungle Beat was different from the Donkey Kong Country series in that none of the old characters or drones made an appearance. Also, the personality of Donkey Kong was altered, as he was made from a generally peaceful ape into a much more aggressive anthropomorphic animal.

Story

While there really is no actual storyline, the closest story is that Donkey Kong goes out to defeat evil kings of various kingdoms to be the best Kong of all, and conquer lands. Also, he's on an adventure to collect bananas and crests.

Animal Buddies

Controls

The controls of this game were different from most 2-D platformers. Hitting the left bongo repeatedly will send send Donkey Kong running to the left, and hitting the right will send him right. To jump straight into the air, the player must hit both bongos at once. To jump diagonally, the player must hit the bongo in the direction he wants to jump, while using the other bongo to run. When swimming, swinging, and riding Animal Buddys, the controls are made much more simple.

Levels

Donkey Kong Jungle Beat contains 18 'Kingdoms', all of which are named after fruit. Every Kingdom contains two standard levels followed up by a boss battle. The only two Kingdoms that stray from this pattern are the 'VS. Kingdoms', which each only have one level and then a boss battle.

Bosses

Donkey Kong Jungle Beat's Bosses come in four categories, and each category has a different fighting style. The groups are Kongs, Rocs, Hogs, and Tusks.

Trivia

  • Mo-Hog is clearly a pun on the word Mohawk.
  • Hard Roc could possibly be a nod at the famous restaurant chain Hard Rock Cafe
