During E3 2004, a playable demo of ''Donkey Kong Jungle Beat'' was on display and it differs from the final version in many ways. For example, the [[Helper Monkey]]s, rather than being gibbons, were regular brown monkeys, and bore resemblance to Donkey Kong. Also, [[Dread Kong]] did not exist in this early build. Instead, it was an unnamed [[Donkey Kong]] clone with gray fur, no tie and glowing red pupils. Also, whenever Donkey Kong banged his chest after defeating a boss, he would make a loud, high-pitched squealing noise, rather than the {{wp|Tarzan}}-esque noise he makes in the final.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udcw4mwZneg&feature=channel_page Donkey Kong Jungle Beat Beta Footage- Dark Kong Part 2 Retrieved on 2009-04-26]</ref> In order to begin a boss battle, the player had to move Donkey Kong forward slightly, as opposed to the final game, where the match would automatically begin after it's finished loading.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMG92WVi-SM&feature=channel Donkey Kong Jungle Beat Beta Footage- Dark Kong Part 1 Retrieved on 2009-04-26]</ref> ''Jungle Beat'' has also gone through graphical changes, as well as changes to the energy meter, and there was also a combo meter that was not seen in the final game. Additionally, the E3 demo featured certain areas that were not seen in any stage of the final release. The logo also looked slightly different. In addition, with the exception of DK's squeal, all his voices were recycled from ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''.
