Donkey Konga is a GameCube rhythm game starring the gorilla Donkey Kong, developed by Namco and published by Nintendo. It is intended to be played with a special controller (DK Bongos) resembling two small bongo drums, although standard GameCube controllers can be used.
Donkey Konga was developed by the same team of people who made the popular PlayStation 2 series Drum Master, aka Taiko No Tatsujin. Gameplay and screen layout are very similar.
Gameplay
The player must hit the drums (either with the left hand, right hand, or with both) and clap (detected by a microphone built into the bongo) in time with the music. Horizontally scrolling symbols show what to do and when. Success builds up the player's life bar and earns coins, which can be used to unlock additional game content. Earning many coins in the game allows more difficult songs to be unlocked, mini-games to be played, or the standard 'bongo' sounds to be replaced by other noises such as tambourine or farmyard animal noises.
