Nintendo GameCube video game featuring the gorilla Donkey Kong and played with a pair of drum-like controllers (tarukonga). It was released in Japan on December 16, 2004, Europe on February 4, 2005 and in North America on March 14, 2005. Gameplay involves combat, jumping and counterattacking. Instead of a regular game controller, Jungle Beat uses the drums to control Donkey Kong's (DK's) actions. Hitting the left drum causes DK to move left, while hitting the right drum causes him to move right. Hitting both drums at the same time causes Donkey Kong to jump. Clapping one's hands also causes Donkey Kong to clap, which has various consequences depending on the situation. The controllers are also used to play the Donkey Konga musical drumming game series. This is a unique game in the nature of play; it is a platformer where the goal isn't simply to get to the end of the level. The goal is to get as many points, or "beats," as possible. Beats are obtained by grabbing bananas during gameplay and lost by getting hurt or falling. The player can obtain additional beats by performing combos while grabbing the bananas. For example, three combo moves will earn four beats for each banana collected. Combos can go as high as 30, meaning that 31 beats can be earned from a single banana.
