Nintendo say:
Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong return, but with a big difference this time! After stumbling across a pair of old barrels on a deserted beach, they discover they are actually a legendary musical instrument which plays music not only when you drum them, but also when you clap. Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong commence upon the ultimate challenge to become famous musicians - so they can buy all the bananas they could ever dream for!
In this musical bonanza, players hit the specially designed bongo controllers in time to a selection of pop, rock, disco, jazz and classical tracks, progressing through the levels to become THE ultimate king or queen of the bongos. This original and unique game from Nintendo allows players to accompany over 30 various pieces of music by hitting the left or right bongo, both bongos together or by clapping in time to the hit tunes. Players see commands appear on the screen and must perform them at the right time to get a good score. To progress to the next track, players must hit all their notes in time. With three different skill levels, even the musically challenged are guaranteed hours of fun.
The game includes many different one-player game modes such as Street Performance, Challenge, Battle and Jam sessions, Ape Arcade and DK Town. These all offer players a fun variety of modes from free sessions to mini-games to quick succession challenges. For the music whiz kids out there, players can also earn coins to unlock more difficult song patterns, new bongo sounds and exclusive mini-games.
Donkey Konga also has multiplayer modes which offer fun and entertainment for up to four people. By connecting up four DK Bongos, players can now get their friends over for the ultimate party with multiplayer music mayhem!
