'''''Donkey Kong Jungle Beat''''' is a {{wp|2.5D}} [[Genre#Platform|platformer]] in the [[Donkey Kong (franchise)|''Donkey Kong'' franchise]] for the [[Nintendo GameCube]]. The game's main gimmick stems from the use of the [[Nintendo GameCube#DK Bongos|DK Bongos]] Controller, previously affiliated with ''[[Donkey Konga]]'', as the recommended controller, though a standard [[Nintendo GameCube#Nintendo GameCube Controller|Nintendo GameCube Controller]] may still be used.

''Donkey Kong Jungle Beat'' is the first console ''Donkey Kong'' platformer since the release of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' to not be developed by [[Rare Ltd.|Rare]], since the company, which lost the rights to the ''Donkey Kong'' series due to the fact that it was trademarked by [[Nintendo]], was bought out by {{wp|Microsoft}}. Due to the change in developers, ''Donkey Kong Jungle Beat'' was very different than the [[Donkey Kong Country (series)|''Donkey Kong Country'' games]] in gameplay, characters, and, perhaps most notably, the personality of [[Donkey Kong]], who is shown to be more aggressive than in past titles. This was also the first game to be given the "E10+" rating by the {{wp|Entertainment Software Rating Board|ESRB}}.

The game received a re-release port to the [[Wii]] in 2009 (2008 in Japan) titled ''[[New Play Control! Donkey Kong Jungle Beat]]''.
==Story==
'''Story from the instruction booklet (GameCube):'''
<blockquote>Pound anything that gets in DK's way as he conquers the kingdoms and becomes the king of the jungle lands!!!</blockquote>

It was stated by game director [[Yoshiaki Koizumi]] in an interview in response to the game's minimal story that "The only thing Donkey Kong needs is to be the best, and to become the king of the jungle."<ref name="NSider">[https://www.ign.com/articles/2005/02/18/donkey-kong-jungle-beat-2 NSider translation of an interview] (original Japanese interview available [https://www.nintendo.co.jp/nom/0412/pick/2_int/index.html here])</ref>

An expanded storyline was added in the Wii re-release.

'''Story from the instruction booklet (Wii):'''
<blockquote>One day, the peace of the jungle was disrupted by a rampaging pack of wild baddies who wreaked havoc on the residents of the jungle.

Not only that, but they laid claim to every kingdom and stole each one's precious bananas!

"This calls for the one and only Donkey Kong!"

Join forces with your jungle buddies to face an army of powerful enemies and restore peace to the jungle!</blockquote>

==Gameplay==
[[File:DKJB Sound Wave Attack.jpg|thumb|200px|[[Donkey Kong]] using the [[Sound Wave Attack]] on a [[Sleep Pig Poppo]].]]
The main goal throughout most of the game is to get to the end of a stage while also trying to earn as many beats as possible. At the beginning of each kingdom, the player starts with twenty beats (two hundred in the final levels) and may obtain more by collecting the bananas scattered throughout the stage and defeating enemies. These beats act as not only a score but also as the player's health throughout a kingdom. Taking damage after the beat total is reduced to zero results in a [[Game Over]], and the player must restart from the beginning of the kingdom. At the end of each level is a fruit, which Donkey Kong must bite into to complete a level. The player can then play a minigame involving attempting to eat as many bananas as possible in a few seconds, giving them extra beats equal to the number of bananas eaten.

In this game, Donkey Kong is given a new move called the [[Sound Wave Attack]]. The Sound Wave Attack consists of an outer green ring mostly used to stun enemies and an inner red ring generally used to defeat enemies and grab beats. The Sound Wave Attack can also be used for various other purposes depending on the situation.

[[File:DKvsDreadKong.png|200px|left|thumb|Donkey Kong about to fight [[Dread Kong]], the boss of the Banana Kingdom.]]
Using the Sound Wave Attack, the player can collect all the bananas in a general area with one move, referred to as a clap grab, which increases the beat count by a greater number than by simply collecting each one individually. In addition, combos, which are obtained by performing special actions (backflips, ground pounds, riding a Jungle Buddy, etc.), also give the player more beats than normal. When one such move is performed, a counter starts at "Combo 2", and performing additional moves increases the counter by one for each action; the counter does not increase, however, for actions performed twice during one combo. Combos increase the amount of beats earned from bananas by the combo number; in the case of banana bunches, this number is also multiplied by three. A combo continues as long as Donkey Kong is airborne and ends when he lands on the ground again; the number of beats collected during the combo is then added to the total. However, if the player is damaged while a combo is active, the player loses all the beats accumulated during the combo.
===Crests===
Most of the Kingdoms in the game contain three stages: two standard levels to earn beats, followed by a boss battle in which the player must deplete the boss' health bar to zero. At the end of each kingdom, the player's total remaining beat count is tallied at the [[Sacred Tree]]. By earning a certain number of beats, the player can earn up to four crests from the tree. These crests are used to unlock new kingdoms, as each one can only be unlocked when a certain number of crests have been obtained. By default, the player earns a Bronze Crest no matter how many beats they have, though the others can only be earned by collecting the following amounts of beats:
*400 - Silver Crest
*800 - Gold Crest
*1200+ - Platinum Crest

===Controls===
''Donkey Kong Jungle Beat'' can be played using either the DK Bongos Controller or a standard Nintendo GameCube Controller. When using the bongos, hitting one of the drums repeatedly sends Donkey Kong running in that direction, while holding down on the bongo causes him to walk. To jump, the player must hit both bongos simultaneously, and can use the bongos to move in midair. To jump diagonally, the player must hit the bongo in the direction they want to jump while using the other bongo to run. Hitting both drums in midair causes Donkey Kong to perform a ground pound. The Sound Wave Attack is used by clapping into the microphone. The [[Jungle Buddies]] are also controlled by using the drums.

With a Nintendo GameCube Controller, the actions performed by the bongos are mostly incorporated into the {{button|gcn|Stick}}. To move, the player must tap the {{button|gcn|Stick}} in the desired direction in order to move Donkey Kong; holding it causes Donkey Kong to walk, and repeatedly tapping it causes him to run. To jump, the player must press {{button|gcn|A}} or tap the {{button|gcn|Stick}} upwards, and to move in midair, the player must tap the {{button|gcn|Stick}} in the desired direction. The Sound Wave Attack is used by tapping the {{button|gcn|C}}. To punch when necessary, the player must tap the {{button|gcn|Stick}} back and forth repeatedly. Moving any of the Jungle Buddies is done once again by tapping the {{button|gcn|Stick}}.

==Kingdoms==
[[File:DKJB selectiontitle.png|thumb|200px|The selection screen, allowing the option to play any of the 16 kingdoms.]]
''Donkey Kong Jungle Beat'' contains a total of 16 kingdoms, all of which are named after a fruit. Each kingdom features two normal levels followed by a boss battle, with the only exceptions being Opening Ceremony and the moon barrel levels (all one level each), making 51 total stages and 19 total kingdoms. The settings between the three levels in the main kingdoms rarely have any cohesion with each other, unlike the worlds in most games. Kingdoms are unlocked by clearing each barrel (and in the D Barrel's case, by clearing Opening Ceremony and the Banana Kingdom), but may not be accessed until the number of crests shown on each plaque is obtained.

Each kingdom is contained within one of six "barrels", with each barrel containing four kingdoms, while the moon barrel only has two kingdoms and Opening Ceremony is in its own sun barrel. The four barrels containing the game's sixteen main kingdoms are the "D", "K", "J", and "B" barrels, the letters composing the abbreviation for ''Donkey Kong Jungle Beat''.

Hoofer is either found at the end of a level, or at the beginning of one, and depending on which determines what minigame is played at the end of the stage. If Hoofer is ridden from the beginning, the player must make as far a jump as possible. If Hoofer is at the end, the minigame involves jumping across as many gaps as possible.

===The Evil Kings===
''Donkey Kong Jungle Beat'' features a total of eighteen bosses, together known as the '''Evil Kings'''.<ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.uk/Games/Wii/NEW-PLAY-CONTROL-Donkey-Kong-Jungle-Beat-282321.html#Characters Nintendo UK ''NEW PLAY CONTROL! Donkey Kong Jungle Beat'' official webpage]</ref> There are four basic types of bosses, one of each occupying each of the main kingdoms in one barrel, while the other two occupy the last levels. The four different types of bosses are:
*[[Kong (boss group)|Kong]]s - New [[Kong]]s which fight Donkey Kong one-on-one with different fighting styles.
*[[Roc]]s - Birds which carry massive eggs that must be attacked.
*[[Hog]]s - Pigs which throw electric coconuts that must be knocked back at them.
*[[Tusk]]s - Tusked elephant machines that shoot cannonballs which are defeated by throwing [[Blood Pine]]s at them.
In addition, the bosses in later barrels gain the attacks used by that type of boss in the previous barrel, and depleting a boss's HP to below half causes them to start attacking with their own additional attack.

==''New Play Control!'' series==
[[File:DkHawg1.jpg|thumb|250px|Donkey Kong fighting a Sleep Pig Poppo in the New Play Control! version.]]
{{main|New Play Control! Donkey Kong Jungle Beat}}
In 2008/2009, ''Donkey Kong Jungle Beat'' was ported to the [[Wii]] as part of the ''[[New Play Control!]]'' series of games, a series of GameCube games remade to take advantage of the Wii's motion controls. In addition to the new control style, the port also features new levels, additions and changes to the existing stages, and some gameplay mechanics having been altered from the original version to accommodate the change in controls.

==Derivatives==
In Japan, two ''Donkey Kong Jungle Beat''-themed medal games were developed by [[Capcom]] and released on [[Sega]]'s {{wp|List of Sega arcade system boards#Triforce|Triforce}} line of arcade machines:
*''[[Donkey Kong: Jungle Fever]]'' (2005)
*''[[Donkey Kong: Banana Kingdom]]'' (2006)

==Development==
{{quote|Our manual writer had an easy job on this one.<ref name="NSider"></ref>|Takao Shimizu}}
Development on the game started after director [[Yoshiaki Koizumi]] and producer [[Takao Shimizu]] attended a meeting featuring the bongo controller developed for ''[[Donkey Konga]]''.<ref name="IGN">[https://www.ign.com/articles/2004/06/14/donkey-kong-jungle-beat-info IGN: ''Donkey Kong Jungle Beat'']</ref> The team spent some time thinking of mechanics that would fit the controller.

After working on several titles using a traditional controller, Koizumi wanted to make something a different input method. He also heard various complaints that controls in contemporary games were becoming too complex<ref name="IGN"></ref> and thus desired to develop a simpler game. As such, he was pleased when the game's E3 2004 demo was well-received by female and "casual" players.<ref name="IGN"></ref>

The development team wanted to keep the game's mechanics and presentation as simple as possible to appeal to players intimidated by the complexity of modern games.<ref name="NSider"></ref> Elements from previous ''Donkey Kong'' games except Donkey Kong himself and the bananas were not featured as the game's development team thought ''Jungle Beat'' was too different in tone from previous ''Donkey Kong'' titles and that they hoped the game would showcase the style of the newly-formed [[Nintendo Entertainment Analysis and Development|EAD Tokyo]]<ref>Hyle (April 26, 2019), "[https://dkvine.com/?p=news_body&post=5945 Guess Who's Certified Fresh?]", ''DK Vine''. Retrieved October 20, 2019</ref>  (a statement that would be [[List of rumors and urban legends#Yoshiaki Koizumi and Donkey Kong Country|notoriously mistranslated]] as Koizumi saying the ''Donkey Kong Country'' cast was not "fresh enough"<ref name="NSider"></ref>).

==Staff==
{{main|List of Donkey Kong Jungle Beat staff}}
''Donkey Kong Jungle Beat'' was the first game developed by [[Nintendo Entertainment Analysis and Development|Nintendo EAD]]'s Tokyo division, which would later go on to develop every 3D ''Super Mario'' game starting with ''Super Mario Galaxy''. The game's producer was Takao Shimizu, the manager of EAD Tokyo Group No. 1, and it was directed by [[Yoshiaki Koizumi]], the manager of Group No. 2, both of whom had been a part of development of several previous ''Super Mario'' games. The music was composed by [[Mahito Yokota]], who later collaborated with other Nintendo staff to compose the soundtracks for various other Nintendo games. Donkey Kong's voice clips were provided by his current voice actor [[Takashi Nagasako]].

==Promotion==
Nintendo sent out fifty people dressed in ape costumes to compete in the Los Angeles Marathon on March 6, 2005, to promote ''Donkey Kong Jungle Beat''. Several of said runners were wearing ''Donkey Kong Jungle Beat''-themed t-shirts and sweatbands, and some were also carrying DK Bongos.<ref>Casamassina, Matt (March 8, 2005.) [https://www.ign.com/articles/2005/03/08/apes-run-rampant Apes Run Rampant]. IGN. Retrieved November 1, 2014.</ref>

In volume 190 of ''[[Nintendo Power]]'', a sweepstakes was held to promote the game. The grand prize was given to one entrant and consisted of a trip for two to Australia, New Zealand, and the Vanuatu islands, 5000 USD in spending money, and a copy of the game with a set of DK Bongos. The second prize was given to 20 entrants and consisted of the game and a set of DK Bongos. The third prize was given to 50 entrants and consisted of ''Nintendo Power''{{'}}s official 2005 T-shirt.

==Reception and legacy==
At release, ''Donkey Kong Jungle Beat'' was received well by critics. The most prominent criticisms of the game were its short length and departure from the classic ''[[Donkey Kong Country (series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' gameplay, as well as a lack of replay value. ''Donkey Kong Jungle Beat'' mainly received praise for its advanced graphics, as well as its unique use of the DK Bongos controller, which many critics called innovative. The game was rated the 95th best game made on a [[Nintendo]] system in the Top 200 Games List by ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' in its February 2006 issue, and in the final issue the game was rated 130th in the 285 best Nintendo games of all time list.<ref>Brain (December 12, 2012).

|align="left"|"''Overall, Donkey Kong Jungle Beat is a scream...for the first eight levels. Once you've seen what the game has to offer, though, there's not a lot to come back to. Anyone with moderately developed action game skills will finish this game in one day, probably without actually dying once. That makes this a rental, at best, but if you're shopping for young children that like to smack stuff, or if you already picked up the bongo drums and are desperate for anything else that uses them, you could make a case for adding this one to your permanent collection.''"

Jungle Beat may be the only game to make good use of the bongos, but it does one hell of a job.''"

|align="left"|"''But, as we glance around for a cymbal to cap things off, it would be cruel to hold these things against Donkey Kong Jungle Beat. Nintendo's burgeoning Revolution means it's barely even the most innovative 2D platform game we've played this month, but compared to the last two decades' output it's gloriously refreshing, and it's only the lack of longevity that leads us to hesitate in recommending it. If you can stomach the cost though, you'll soon see that it's far more than a gimmiEEEEOWWW. A suitable drumroll for the Revolution, then.''"

==Glitches==
===Infinite wall clap/clap momentum===
By clapping on every frame while on a wall, the player can slide up the wall. Additionally, the player's momentum increases for every clap, causing them to speed away if the player reaches the top of the wall or jumps off of it, similar to the [[List of Super Mario 64 glitches#Backwards Long Jump|backwards long jump]] in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFAs9C78EqQ Donkey Kong Jungle Beat TAS Banana Kingdom]. Posted to YouTube by BlunderstabTAS (February 3, 2013). Retrieved November 1, 2014.</ref>

===Defeating both Double Tusks===
By defeating one of the two Double Tusks with an attack that brings the total HP of both down to zero, both Tusks are destroyed, but the "enraged" animation (when a boss' HP is below half) for the one that is destroyed second plays instead of the "victory" animation (though the music and sound effects still play).<ref>[https://youtu.be/Hz-rJZvIqLg?t=3m Donkey Kong Jungle Beat TAS Chili Pepper Kingdom].

==Pre-release and unused content==
{{main|List of Donkey Kong Jungle Beat pre-release and unused content}}
In the E3 2004 demo, the Party Monkeys are shown to be normal brown monkeys, similar in appearance to Donkey Kong. The Dread Kong boss did not exist, the stand-in boss being a gray clone of Donkey Kong. Most of Donkey Kong's voice clips for the demo were also reused from ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''.

==References to other games==
*''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'': At the very beginning of the Cactus/Ghastly King battles, part of the music that plays is a remix of the tune that plays when Donkey Kong climbs atop the [[Construction Site]] with [[Pauline]].
*''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'': The entire concept of collecting bananas and riding Jungle Buddies originated from this game. Additionally, the background music that plays in Dawn Savanna, after clearing any boss stage, and the ending are remixes of the [[Jungle Hijinxs (Donkey Kong Country)|Jungle Hijinxs]] theme. Lastly, voice clips from [[Funky Kong]]'s theme can be heard towards the end of the [[Opening Ceremony]].

==References in later games==
*''[[Mario Kart DS]]'': Many of Donkey Kong's voice clips from ''Donkey Kong Jungle Beat'' are reused for this game.
*''[[DK: Jungle Climber]]'': Many voice clips from this game are reused. Also, the pose that Donkey Kong strikes after completing the bonus stage (where the player has to catch bananas with a barrel) is identical to the pose that he strikes in ''Jungle Beat'' after completing the banana-eating bonus at the end of each stage.
*''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'': Several gameplay mechanics and elements from ''Donkey Kong Jungle Beat'' are reused in this game, including sound effects. Several assets from this game have also been found that [[List of Super Mario Galaxy pre-release and unused content|go unused]] in the final game.
*''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'': Rumble Falls is a default stage that can be selected in the game, and the background also changes rapidly, with one of them being the background that was used in the Sky Garden stage. Also, the song, "Battle For Storm Hill", in its original form, may be selected as background music for that stage and custom stages. Lastly, the Party Monkey, Gale Hawg, Hoofer, Karate Kong, and Donkey Kong's appearance in this game appear as [[Sticker (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|Sticker]]s, and Helibird and Turret Tusk appear as [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophies]].
*''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'': Donkey Kong's [[Final Smash]] in this game is based on his combo punch attacks in ''Donkey Kong Jungle Beat''. Additionally, Karate Kong and Ninja Kong both appear as [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|Spirits]].

==Trivia==
*This is the first ''Donkey Kong'' game since ''[[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Donkey Kong]]'' for the [[Game Boy]] to not feature [[Diddy Kong]].
*One of the bosses in this game, Karate Kong, is voiced by Hironori Miyata, the current voice of [[Ganondorf]] and [[Tingle]] from the [[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''Legend of Zelda'' series]]. Coincidentally, Takashi Nagasako, the voice actor for Donkey Kong in this game and in the current ''Donkey Kong'' series, had previously voiced Ganondorf in ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]'' and ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker]]''.
