Wonderful Things That May or May Not Be Wonderful!!! The evil Ghastly King has sent his forces across the land to steal all the bananas and solidify his rule as king of the jungle. Donkey Kong wants to show him otherwise. Go get him! This game comes from an era of the stubborn ape's history where Nintendo just didn't know what to do with him.  An era that gave birth to the DK Bongos, a bongo game controller peripheral that predates the first Guitar Hero. For this instrument of fun, only five games were made but considering Donkey Kong Jungle Beat is one of them, I'd call the whole experiment worth it. DKJB is a platformer with a functionally simplistic control scheme all about collecting bananas, stringing aerial combos and tricks together, and mercilessly pummeling any weird looking creature that gets in your way. It's got plenty of variety too with swimming segments, riding segments, and even Punch-Out styled fighting matches against evil gorillas! Yeah, the lack of every other notable DK character is concerning, it is a bit of a short and easy ride, and your arms will probably hate you after prolonged play sessions but like the story I describe to start this post, it doesn't really matter. The fun, frantic, unique, accessible and super repayable score based gameplay does. That's what make Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat so wonderful!

P.S. I think I've only played this game on the DK Bongos once as a demo in a Toys R'Us. I actually beat the game with a Wiimote and Nunchuck using the New Play Control! version on the Wii. Aside from that one time my brother and I got grounded because we got into a brawl after I said he was stupid after he called Donkey Kong stupid (yes, that happened), I have really fond memories of this game.

P.P.S. I do currently own the version with the DK Bongos but I haven't played it yet. It's currently on the long list of things I need to do.

P.P.P.S. Did you know that the team behind this game would go on to make Super Mario Galaxy and the teams' leader would go on to be the director behind the Nintendo Switch? Yeah, not bad for the bongo platformer!

P.P.P.P.S.  I was originally going to end this post with a crack about how a platformer played with a music peripheral is something that a speed runner would come up with but then I wondered "Wait has someone beaten Dark Souls with the DK Bongos?". Lo and behold, here is a video of a guy beating a boss from Dark Souls with DK Bongos.

It's really sorta crazy to me that Splatoon is a core nintendo game, not just a core nintendo game, but a game by EAD, the core nintendo team. It feels more like it should come from R&D1's weirdness, or a second party studio like Retro, Hal, or the Rareware of old. But no, this alternative, very gay, online shooter, about squids in the post apocalypse is made by the same team that makes Mario.
