Donkey Konga

Story
When Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong find a pair of barrels they decide to take it to Cranky Kong for further investigation. Cranky tells them it's a bongo drum set. They both try playing it (badly) and DK claps when Diddy is just as bad as he is. This causes the Bongos to shine. Cranky then furtherly explains that they're magic, and the two Kongs leave playing the bongos.

Main Menu
The main menu (or island center) is where DK and Diddy start from. They can get to DK Town, the Ape Arcade, their Jam Sessions, Battles(where they'll face of against each other), Challenge(where they'll see how many songs they can clear), and the Street(where they play as Street Performers).

Street Performance
This is where the player can earn coins to buy stuff in DK Town. The player can only keep the coins if they clear the song. The levels for it are Monkey, Chimp, Gorilla, Monkey Jam, Chimp Jam, and Gorilla Jam.

Challenge
This is where the player plays as DK (second player is Diddy) to see how many songs they can clear. The order in which songs are played is random.

Battle
This is where Donkey(P1) and Diddy(P2) face of against each other. The amount of barrels next to each song title tells how difficult it is. The levels it has are Monkey, Chimp, Gorilla, Monkey Jam, Chimp Jam, and Gorilla Jam.

Jam Session
A jam session is when DK and Diddy practice on songs. This area is for 1-4 players. The levels for it are Monkey, Chimp, and Gorilla.
