-The '''DK Bongos''' are bongo-like controllers for the Nintendo GameCube, primarily for use with the [[Donkey Konga (series)|''Donkey Konga'' series]]. Each side of the controller is shaped like a classic Donkey Kong barrel with a rubber drum skin fastened on top. It also has a built-in microphone to detect clapping (although hitting the sides of it also functions well). The DK Bongos detect left and right hits, and clapping. While created for the ''Konga'' series, they are also the recommended controller for ''[[Donkey Kong Jungle Beat]]'' and had ''[[Donkey Kong Barrel Blast]]'' been released for the Nintendo GameCube, it would have also used the DK Bongos.
+The '''DK Bongos''' are bongo-shaped GameCube controllers primarily intended for use with the [[Donkey Konga (series)|''Donkey Konga'' series]] and ''[[Donkey Kong Jungle Beat]]''. The controller is symmetrical, and each side is shaped like [[Barrel]] with a rubber drum skin fastened on top. It has a Start/Pause button in the center, along with the "DK" logo. DK Bongos even have a built-in microphone to detect clapping (although hitting the sides of it also functions). Each Barrel represents left or right on the GameCube's directional stick, based on how [[Donkey Kong]] moves left and right in ''Donkey Kong Jungle Beat''. The DK Bongos are backward-compatible from the GameCube controller ports of the Wii. They are also usable from the GameCube Controller Adapter for the [[Wii U]] and [[Nintendo Switch]].
 In Japan, the controller is called the 「タルコンガ」''TaruKonga'' (or "TaruConga") controller. The name is a multilayered pun, combining ''taru'' (the Japanese word for "barrel"), ''kon'', or "con" (a suffix used by Namco when naming their original peripherals, such as the "GunCon", or the "TaTaCon"), and "Konga" (or "Conga").
-The DK Bongos are also compatible with the [[Wii]] and can also be used as a GameCube controller through the GameCube Controller Adapter for the [[Wii U]] and [[Nintendo Switch]].
+Before ''[[Donkey Kong Barrel Blast]]''{{'}}s release on the [[Wii]], it was originally developed for the GameCube with the title ''DK Bongo Blast''. It would have been the fifth title to use the DK Bongos (fourth if excluding the Japan-exclusive ''[[Donkey Konga 3]]''). The DK Bongos are also incompatible with ''[[New Play Control! Donkey Kong Jungle Beat]]'', a port of ''Jungle Beat'' on the Wii.
-As well, DK Bongos are featured in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]'' as [[Donkey Kong]]'s [[Final Smash]], [[Konga Beat]].
+The DK Bongos are the main feature of [[Konga Beat]], which is [[Donkey Kong]]'s [[Final Smash]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]''.
