Bongos are drum-like instruments first encountered in the game Donkey Kong 64; however, they have become much more used in the Donkey Kong series since then.

In Donkey Kong 64 a pair of Bongos can be purchased by Donkey Kong from Candy Kong in Candy's Music Shop. With these bongos Donkey Kong is able to use the special attack, "Bongo Blast". The attack sends out soundwaves that can defeat ant nearby enemies; if Bongo Blast is used on a Bongo Blast Music Pad then it will cause an event to occur.

In the game Donkey Konga Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong, while lazing around on the beach one day, come across some bongos half-buried in the sand. Taking the bongos, Donkey and Diddy decide to become experts with them and hold concerts to make which they can make money to buy huge amounts of bananas with. These Bongos are used again in Donkey Konga 2 and Donkey Konga 3.

Bongos are also used by the player in Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat to control Donkey Kong. This game's control scheme was very different from most games, because of the unique cortroller. Among other controls, hitting the left bongo makes Donkey Kong move left, hitting the right makes him move right, and hitting both makes him jump.
