History

Donkey Kong 64

A pair of Bongos can be purchased by Donkey Kong at Candy's Music Shop in Donkey Kong 64. With these bongos Donkey Kong is able to use the special attack, "Bongo Blast". The attack sends out soundwaves that can defeat any nearby enemies; if Bongo Blast is used on a Bongo Blast Music Pad then it will cause an event to occur.

Donkey Konga series

Bongos appear in Donkey Konga, where they are first found by Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong half-buried in the sand at a beach. The bongos are taken by them, with plans on becoming expert players and holding concerts to make lots of money and purchase lots of bananas. During gameplay, Donkey Kong has to beat the bongos to the rhythm of the music. The bongos are used in the same way in Donkey Konga 2 and Donkey Konga 3 JP.

Donkey Kong Jungle Beat

Bongos in Donkey Kong Jungle Beat have a unique role of being used to control Donkey Kong, via the DK Bongo controller. Among other controls, hitting the left bongo makes Donkey Kong move left, hitting the right makes him move right, and hitting both makes him jump.

Mario Kart series

The Bongos appear in Mario Kart Arcade GP and Mario Kart Arcade GP 2 as one of Donkey Kong's special items, under the name Conga. Upon using the Conga, the user will play a drumbeat on it for a short period of time, producing damaging sound waves. Any racers who come too close to the user during this time will be hit by the sound waves and lose speed.
