'''''DK: King of Swing''''' is a [[Genre#Puzzle|puzzle]] game starring [[Donkey Kong]] for the [[Game Boy Advance]]. It is the first installment of the [[DK (series)|''DK'' series]]. Its gameplay is similar to the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] game ''{{wp|Clu Clu Land}}'', but it has been re-formatted in aspects to provide more of an adventure game feel. In the game, [[Donkey Kong]] must quest across five worlds to recover the Jungle Jam [[medal (DK: King of Swing)|medal]]s that [[King K. Rool]] has stolen and scattered across the levels. ''DK: King of Swing'' is the first [[Donkey Kong (franchise)|''Donkey Kong'' franchise]] game to be developed by [[Paon]].

The game takes place during the [[Jungle Jam Tournament|Jungle Jam]], where a huge festival held occurs. During the tournament, [[medal (DK: King of Swing)|medal]]s are given out as prizes to participants in contests like breaking barrels and jumping pegs, with the winner being crowned the hero of the jungle. [[King K. Rool]] appears and steals all the medals before the tournament commences, proclaiming himself the jungle hero. [[Donkey Kong]] goes on an adventure after King K. Rool to recover the medals. After traveling through four different world, gaining the stolen medals dropped by K. Rool, Donkey Kong enters the final world, [[K. Kruizer III]]. At the end of the last world, Donkey Kong is confronted by K. Rool, who challenges him to both a climbing race and battle for the last medal. After defeating K. Rool, Donkey Kong leaves the location using a small, green aircraft while the King Kruizer III explodes and falls from of the sky.

The player can choose between [[Donkey Kong]], [[Diddy Kong]], [[Dixie Kong]], and [[Funky Kong]], and they can also unlock [[Bubbles (Clu Clu Land)|Bubbles]], [[Wrinkly Kong]], [[King K. Rool]], and [[Kritter]] too. The CPU uses the other characters.

|Congazuma is a large Kremling statue and the first boss encountered by Donkey Kong. It attacks by slowly jumping toward him. Donkey Kong can attack Congazuma by performing a charge attack into it. He must do this four times to defeat Congazuma.

|As its name suggests, Fire Necky is a large Necky engulfed in flame. It attacks by spitting flames which crystallize into rocks shortly after. Donkey Kong must throw seven rocks at Fire Necky to defeat it.
