'''Donkey Kong Jungle Beat''' (ドンキーコングジャングルビート) is a [[Nintendo]] [[GameCube]] game featuring the gorilla {{c|Donkey Kong}} and, although compatible with the standard controller, is primarily played with the DK Bongos. It was the first video game to receive an [[ESRB]] rating of E10+. Jungle Beat is unlike games in the {{c|Donkey Konga}} series, which also incorporate the DK Bongos. It is a {{c|Single player}} 2D [[:Category:Platform|platformer]] rather than a rhythm-keeping game. The gameplay relies on some rhythmic elements, such as clapping at the right time to get all of the bananas in an area, or incapacitate a boss, but the majority of the congos' use comes from directing Donkey Kong's movement, jumping and attacks. The game was later re-released for the [[Wii]], with the bongo controls replaced by the Wii remote and nunchuck.
'''Donkey Kong Jungle Beat''' is a single player 2D platformer on the [[GameCube]] that requires the use of a Bongo Controller to play. You receive points by collecting bananas, scattered throughout every stage, and you will receive more "bananas" by clapping near several bananas, making you collect them all at once, and by having more 'combo points' which you get by doing certain moves in a row without touching the ground. There are three stages in each "Kingdom" or a level, and there are several pages of Kingdoms in the game, each with four Kingdoms and four Bosses. These bosses repeat in each page of Kingdoms but increase in difficulty. After the three stages you will then go into a boss game, ranging in style from dodging and punching, throwing pineapple bombs at a tank-like boss, to grabbing on and punching for another. Many times, there are mini-bosses, most of which require timing to defeat.

To move you hit the corresponding bongo, and to jump, both. To clap, you physically clap and there are two circles, the inner is grab range, and the outer is stun range. True to its name, this game has nice music and does require you to keep the beat (good timing).
