The debut project of the 65-member Nintendo EAD Tokyo, Jungle Beat 's development began around July 2003, after Shigeru Miyamoto suggested that Nintendo should commission a new Donkey Kong game. Development was led by director Yoshiaki Koizumi and producer Takao Shimizu, who sought to create a simple, accessible game in contrast to more complex contemporary games. Koizumi conceived a game that used the DK Bongos instead of a standard gamepad to control the player character, and applied lessons he had learned from previous projects during development. Because the tone differed from previous Donkey Kong games, the team excluded most of the franchise's existing elements and characters. Created in Unreal Engine 5 over the course of three months, Beat Bull is something of a spiritual successor to Donkey Konga and Jungle Beat, with your movements dictated by banging the left or right drum or clapping overhead. Jungle Beat was released in Japan on December 16, 2004, in Europe on February 4, 2005, and in North America on March 14. [24] It was released as both a standalone game and a bundle with the DK Bongos. [25] [26] The European version was released on the same day as the Game Boy Advance Donkey Kong game DK: King of Swing. [26] To promote the North American release, Nintendo sent 20 individuals dressed up as apes to participate in the 20th Los Angeles Marathon, which took place on March 6. The individuals wore Jungle Beat-branded clothing, carried DK Bongos, and chanted the game's title as they ran. [27] Jungle Beat was released when Donkey Kong had mostly been relegated to spin-offs and supporting roles in other Nintendo franchises, following Microsoft's acquisition of Rare.

First off, thank you so much, all of you guys who work with Nintendon't. It's truly amazing. My second pair of bongos are detected as a normal controller in any of the ports. My "working" pair works in all ports, except for the problem with the clapping (this is my biggest request and I will donate once it is fixed Our family really enjoys all three of the Donkey Konga games. The song selection for this one - the first of the three is target to the really young - this is the game you want if you have little ones say around six to eight, or like us if you can find it cheap enough just to add to your other two for some additional music and to have when you have company over and you want to start them off on something easier. A great game.

Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong are hanging out at the beach, when they come across some mysterious objects that resemble barrels. Fearing they had something to do with King K. Rool, they take them to Cranky Kong. Cranky explains that they are bongos, so Donkey tries playing them. Diddy tries as well. Then, when Donkey claps, the bongos started glowing. Cranky explained that the bongos had some kind of power inside them. Donkey and Diddy continue to play the bongos, but they both play terribly. Cranky advises them to practice. At first, they are against this, but then they realize if they can become successful in playing the bongos, they could afford as many bananas as they wish, so they start practicing.
