	DK Bongos - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		DK Bongos are drum-like controllers for the Nintendo GameCube game series Donkey Konga, Donkey Konga 2, Donkey Konga 3, Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat, and until recently the upcoming game DK Bongo Blast (now known as DK Kongo Blast).
		Tarukonga is a Japanese bongo drum, or a Japanese term for a set of bongo drums.
		In Donkey Konga and Donkey Konga 2, the DK Bongos detect left and right hits, the hitting of both sides simultaneously, and clapping.

	Donkey Kong Jungle Beat Review \| GamePlasma.com :: Gaming to the Next Level! :: Your Source for All Things Gaming (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		For anyone unfamiliar with the peripheral, the DK Bongos are two connected drums that can sense being hit and can detect clapping (it should be noted that one can play Jungle Beat with a normal controller, but it’s not nearly as fun).
		The faster you tap the bongo, the steeper DK’s descent.
		Clapping, hitting the bongos, and taking in all the on screen action while trying to string combos and increase your beat total is engaging in a way sidescrollers simply haven’t been in recent years.

	Donkey Konga 2 DK Bongos FAQ - IGN FAQs
		Underneath the bongos is a place to put the controller port (quite handy) and four rubber stoppers so it doesn't slide on a desk or flat surface.
		For clapping, you move one of your hands to the side of the bongos and slap it (this vibration reaches the microphone).
		You use all the features of the bongos to control DK - such as the left and right bongos to move left and right, both together for a jump and clap to make DK clap his hands to destroy on screen objects.

		You tap the left bongo, right bongo, or both in order to match up with which symbol is on the music bar.
		Overall, the DK Bongo peripheral is a fantastic piece of hardware and is not needed to play the game, BUT, I highly recommend it for maximum play quality and maximum fun (or any for that matter).
		The DK Bongos are a high quality peripheral that will make the game much more enjoyable.

		It's also pleasing to note that the DK bongos are pretty responsive once calibrated to your environment.
		A yellow semi-circle directs you to press the left bongo; a red semi-circle tells you that you need to hit the right bongo and a purple circle means you need to hit both bongos in perfect unison.
		Striking the required bongo just a little bit off and you'll only receive an 'Okay' rating, poor timing awards you with 'Bad', while managing to miss the beat entirely causes a complete 'Miss' to register and a disappointed Donkey Kong will shake his head in frustration.

	DK Bongo Blast - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		Gameplay was originally meant to be with the DK Bongos, however since the game has supposedly moved to the Wii, it is unknown if it will utilize the Bongos or if there will be a new control scheme.

	Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat - GameCritics.com
		Using the DK Bongos to run and jump and punch makes the standard platforming more interesting, though.
		The bongos are even fitted with a microphone, so that when the player claps his hands, Donkey Kong stuns enemies and reaches out to grab things.
		With time and resources, the bongo controllers can be used in better and cleverer ways as time goes on.

	Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat (cube: 2005): Reviews
		DK has to brave the dangers of the jungle to rescue his simian pals.
		The control is in the bongos -- tap the bongos, do a drum roll, or even clap to control DK on the screen as you battle enormous beasts, collect bananas, get in boxing matches with rivals and ride animals and vehicles.
		The fact that you use Bongos as the controller may seem very weird at first, but once you get the hang of it, the game is extremely fun and also very addictive.

	Donkey Konga review GC- VGPub -
		A yellow circle means hit the left bongo, a red circle means the right bongo, purple circle means both bongos at the same time, and a blue symbol means clap.
		This is thanks to the motion sensors in the bongo that pick up virtually everything, and the great durability of the bongo, which can withstand a fall from someone?s lap.
		Konga?s tunes are catchy while beating on the DK Bongos, but you won?t find everybody listening to it while not playing the game.

	Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat Review / Preview for the GameCube (GC)
		It utilizes bongo drums as a control device; the same drums that were created for Donkey Konga.
		The giant creatures that DK runs into are well rendered and smoothly animated.
		Some may consider this a novelty but the gameplay is really tightly aligned with the bongo drums.

	Game Review: DK Jungle Beat, Nintendo Adds A Second Title For Its Bongo Drums Controller - CBS News
		The second release to use the DK Bongos controller, the game greatly differs from its Donkey Konga predecessor.
		DK Jungle Beat, however, is a side-scrolling action game, and banging the drums (and clapping — there's a built-in sound detector) controls the titular character as he runs, jumps, swims, flies, grabs bananas, stomps the crap out of small enemies, punches the crap out of big enemies and so on.
		The game's suggested retail price is $54.99 with the DK Bongos controller, $39,99 without.

		The bongo kit which ships with the game is extremely sturdy and takes a severe beating without even giving a hint of breaking.
		The DK Bongos are nice and responsive, the action can be genuinely fun, and though some of the music choices are extremely weird, there is, in fact, a little something here for everyone.
		It is ideal fun for both the serious and casual games player, and entertaining for those not taking part to watch the participants flinging their hands over the place.

	Donkey Konga - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is intended to be played with a special controller (DK Bongos) resembling two small bongo drums, although standard GameCube controllers can be used.
		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.
		At first they are against this, but then they realise if they can become successful in playing the bongos, they would afford as many bananas as they wish, so they start practicing.

		Clapping or tapping the sides of the bongos correctly can make DK emit destructive sound waves that stun enemies, jump off walls, kick items, grab bananas, twirl through the air, ride animals, swim through water, pound the ground and attack enemies!
		Join DK and his friends such as Hoofer the Wildebeest and Orco the Killer Whale as you run, jump, swim, battle, swing on vines and collect bananas while exploring gorgeous side-scrolling environments such as volcano caves, snowy mountain peaks and skyscapes.
		DK looks pretty much the same to be, just with better graphics.

		In Jungle Beat, you use the DK Bongos controller to run Donkey Kong through adventure landscapes that vary between fast-faced, ever-forward obstacle courses and more traditional Super Mario Bro.s –esque platforming.
		One bongo moves DK right, one moves him left, and both simultaneously make him jump.
