[5] The developers chose to change the camera angle when Donkey Kong encounters an enemy—altering the control scheme as a result—to keep his abilities and the action varied. [11] The automatic camera also allowed Koizumi to avoid camera problems he found in previous 3D games that he had worked on. [12] EAD Tokyo prioritized simplicity; [13] Shimizu said that because contemporary video games took considerable time to complete and lost appeal if an individual had to stop playing, Jungle Beat 's levels were designed to take between five and ten minutes without any shortcuts. [11] [13] He felt that the game would appeal to a busy person because it did not contain long save or load times. [13] Nutt, Christian (April 13, 2012).

Donkey Kong 64 - Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong's voice clips are recycled from this game during the mini-games. Also, the Super Smash Bros. Melee version of the DK Rap appears in the game. In this mode, DK and Diddy can practice their performance on songs. A displayed scoreboard counts by accuracy (Great, OK, and Bad) along with the number of missed beats. a b c Boyer, Brandon; Alexander, Leigh (November 27, 2007).

The DK Bongos feature three primary buttons: the two drums and a start button on the middle section. The drums themselves actually feature two inputs each, making a total of five buttons. The bongos also feature a built in microphone to detect clapping, though the sides of the bongos can be hit to replicate it.a b "Nintendo EAD Tokyo". GameSpy.

The main gameplay is largely identical to the Taiko no Tatsujin games, which were also designed by the same developers. The player has the option to utilize the DK Bongos or a standard GameCube controller. During gameplay, the player controls Donkey Kong, whose goal is to hit scrolling notes, known as beats. They must hit it with accurate timing when it moves under a cursor on the far left. There are four types of beats (red, light blue, yellow, and purple), and are each associated with a different button. A word appears on screen for every passing note, and the displayed word is based on the accuracy of the player hitting the beat. A combo is displayed if the player hits two or more consecutive beats, but it vanishes if the player misses a beat.

The Mario movie releases next year, and that's basically one big advertisement for Mario, so it makes sense to release a Mario game shortly after that; I think it will arrive late next year, six years after the original Odyssey, just like we're getting BotW2 six years after the first BotW.
