DK Bongos are bongo-like controllers for the Nintendo GameCube game series Donkey Konga, Donkey Konga 2, Donkey Konga 3, and Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat. Each side of the controller is shaped like a classic Donkey Kong barrel with a rubber drumskin fastened on top. It also has a built-in microphone to detect clapping (although hitting the sides of it also functions well). In the Donkey Konga series, the DK Bongos detect left and right hits, and clapping.
In Japan the controller is called the TaruKonga (or "TaruConga") controller. The name is a multilayered pun, combining "Taru" (the Japanese word for "barrel"), "Kon", or "Con" (a suffix used by Namco when naming their original peripherals, such as the "GunCon", or the "TaTaCon"), and Konga (or Conga).
The DK Bongos are also confirmed to be compatible with the Wii. The first Wii game to support the peripheral will be the WiiWare title Plättchen Twist 'n' Paint.
