At the end of each kingdom, the total sum of beats (after deducting any damage taken during the boss fight) is tallied. Donkey Kong Jungle Beat 's use of the DK Bongos ( bottom) originated from director Yoshiaki Koizumi's ( top) desire for a simple, easy-to-learn control scheme. 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.

The main gameplay is largely identical to the Taiko no Tatsujin games, which were also designed by the same developers. Donkey Kong Barrel Blast was originally planned to use the Bongos before it was switched from the Nintendo GameCube to the Wii. 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.During the Refurbish and Inspection process, original games and accessories may have minor internal or external parts replaced with brand new 3rd party parts including but not limited to switches, capacitors, buttons, plastic disk cases, batteries, etc. Like he did on The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (2002), sound programmer Masafumi Kawamura attempted to synchronize the music with the gameplay, like when Donkey Kong jumps.

Mahito Yokota composed the soundtrack, his first project as a composer after joining Nintendo in 2003.

The bongos were also planned to be compatible with Plättchen Twist 'n' Paint, but the functionality was removed since Nintendo did not want to alienate anybody who did not own the accessory. Aside from a different set of songs, Donkey Konga's North American logo is different from the European and Japanese logo.

Customs charges however, may be applicable on arrival in your country regardless of where you purchase. Support for Odama (2006) was dropped prior to release, while a planned DK Bongos-controlled racing game, DK Bongo Blast, was released on the Wii as Donkey Kong Barrel Blast in 2007 without support.The game is controlled via the included conga controller and has up to four players hitting the two drums and clapping their hands in the rhythm to more than 30 tunes, including Latin classics like Mambo No.
