'''''[[Donkey Kong Jungle Beat]]''''' is a {{wp|2.5D}} [[Genre#Platform|platformer]] in the ''[[Donkey Kong (franchise)|Donkey Kong]]'' franchise for the [[Nintendo GameCube]]. The game's main gimmick stems from the use of the [[Nintendo GameCube#DK Bongos|DK Bongos]] controller, previously affiliated with ''[[Donkey Konga]]'', as the recommended controller, though a standard [[Nintendo GameCube#Nintendo GameCube Controller|Nintendo GameCube Controller]] may still be used. It is the first console ''Donkey Kong'' platformer since the release of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' to not be developed by [[Rare Ltd.|Rare]], since the company, which lost the rights to the ''Donkey Kong'' series due to the fact that it was trademarked by [[Nintendo]], was bought out by {{wp|Microsoft}}. Due to the change in developers, ''Donkey Kong Jungle Beat'' was very different than the ''[[Donkey Kong Country (series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' games in gameplay, characters, and, perhaps most notably, the personality of [[Donkey Kong]], who is shown to be more aggressive than in past titles. This was also the first game to be given the "E10+" rating by the {{wp|Entertainment Software Rating Board|ESRB}}.
