Donkey Kong Jungle Beat + Taru-Konga - Clearance

Japanese Gamecube Import [Freeloader required to play on US GC/Wii]

«©NCSX» Donkey Kong gallops into action in an innovative platform game where simian control is entirely through the Taru-Konga drum controller. The controls are as follows:

» Smack left drum: Donkey Kong moves left
» Smack right drum: Donkey Kong steps right
» Smack both drums: DK jumps
» Clap: DK mimics your clap to create a sonic boom

To send Donkey Kong to the left, smack the left drum. Donkey Kong moves to the right when the right drum is hit. When a ledge beckons above, the big ape may scale that distance by jumping when both drums are pounded at the same time. Since every ape needs a snappy skill, Nintendo has given DK a clap move where banana-sized fingers create a sonic boom when the player claps two hands together. Kong will also engage in fights from time to time and the drums are used to throw out left hooks and right jabs by hitting the left or right drum. The fighting puts the term "Jungle Beat" in a new light. Clapping makes DK bob and weave like a champ. The bongo controller may also be used with Donkey Konga and Donkey Konga 2.
