 In order to accelerate the player's racing bongos, the Wii Remote and Nunchuk Attachment must be shook together, and while to jump, players need to raise the Wii Remote and Nunchuk Attachment upwards. Characters are able to attack each other by punching. Characters not only use rocket powered bongos, but are also able to utilize vehicles such as [[Tobbagan]]s and [[Minecart]]s.
-Modes include Candy's Challenges, Time Trial, and a "Make-Your-Own-Cup" mode.
+== Jungle Grand Prix ==
-== Setting ==
+The main mode in the game. It works just like the [[Mario Kart]] series, but some cups have more or less than the usual amount of tracks. Also, like [[Mario Kart Arcade GP]], more than one track will take place in a certain area. Three are from the [[DK Jungle course]], three are from the [[Seaside course]], three are from the [[Mt. Dynamite course]], two are from the [[Desert course]], two are from the [[Snowy Mountain course]], and two are from the [[Sky Temple course]]. Ony one racetrack is in a course of it's own, which is in [[outer space]].
-Sixteen racing courses and seven worlds have been confirmed to be in ''Donkey Kong Barrel Blast''; each world has a different number of courses. The DK Jungle has three, the Tropical Beach has three, the Lava Volcano has three, the Desert has two, the Snow World has two, the Sky World has two, and the Space Level is only one course.
+=== Topaz Cup ===
+*DK Jungle (DK Jungle course)
+*Salty Sea (Seaside course)
+*Mt. Dynamite (Mt. Dynamite course)
+=== Sapphire Cup ===
+*Scorching Canyon (Desert course)
+*DK Jungle Falls (DK Jungle course)
+*Shimmering Sea (Seaside course)
+*Mammoth Glacier (Snowy Mountain course)
+=== Diamond Cup ===
+*Open Ocean (Seaside course)
+*Mt. Dynamite Remix (Mt. Dynamite course)
+*Parched Palace (Desert course)
+*Cranky's Temple (Sky Temple course)
+=== Platinum Cup ===
+*Dynamite Run (Mt. Dynamite course)
+*DK Jungle Sunset (DK Jungle course)
+*Alpine Peak (Snowy Mountain course)
+*Temple Heights (Sky Temple course)
+*[[Cosmic Highway]]
+=== Selection Cup ===
+The player selects 2 to 5 of any of the races.
+=== Random Cup ===
+The computer randomly picks out 5 tracks for the player to race on.
+Take note that the names of the cups have nothing to do with their color. It will still be gold, silver, or bronze for each. The difference is how they look-the harder the cup, the bigger and better-looking the trophy (however, the Selection and Random Cup trophies look like the one in the Topaz Cup).
+== Other Modes ==
+*'''Single Race''': Players can choose one racetrack to play on.
+*'''Time Trial''': Like the Mario Kart series and [[Diddy Kong Racing]], players can choose this to race on a single track for the best time, and save ghost data.
+*'''Free Run''': There is no goal in free run. Its just for players to get the hang of the game some more.
+*'''Cranky's Flight School''': The informative part of the game where Cranky gives eight lessons on how to do everything in the game.
+*'''[[Candy's Challenges]]''': In this mode, Candy gives out four sets of eight challenges (a similarity to other games like [[Mario Kart DS]], [[Mario Strikers Charged]], and [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]. These challenges ranges from collecting a certain amount of bananas, to winning a race without getting hurt, to completing a race against the clock. Completing all of the challenges will unlock a special reward.
+*'''Records''': This is where players can look at records and status in the courses.
+*'''Options''': This is where players can turn the items in the game on or off in Single Race and Jungle Grand Prix, change the button settings, the dominant hand to play on (left or right), and check the controls.
 Many of the courses have enemies from other Donkey Kong games serving as obstacles. For example, the volcano level has [[Flip Flap]]s and [[Necky|Neckies]], and the beach level contains [[Chomps]] and a giant, pale squid. The outer space track will have a giant, robotic ape with a similar appearance to Donkey Kong as an obstacle.

+* [[Rambi the Rhinoceros]]: Rambi will bash everything in his path, and players will collect bananas for it.

+== Enemies ==

+*[[Necky]]: a vulture that rams into anyone that gets to close to it.
+*[[Zinger]]: a basic enemy that flies around the tracks. Unlike most Donkey Kong games, one hit will get rid of it.
+*[[Chomps]]: a big shark in underwater parts of racetracks. They look intimidating, but one hit will defeat them.
+*[[Hurley]]: a weird-looking monkey that likes to throw bananas and barrels at the racers. However, they are mostly seen as cameos in the races.
+*Electric Fish: an elecric fish that shocks racers whether they attacked it or not.
+*Big Frog: a big frog that is usually in groups. In the DK Jungle courses, they use a strange breath attack to slow players down. In the Mt. Dynamite courses, red ones breathe fire.
+*Cyber Kong: A robotic DK look-alike that shoots lasers. One hit will defeat it. There is also a giant version of this that shoots multiple lasers and missles, and cannot be defeated.
