Donkey Kong - When choosing whether to display the screen in 50Hz or 60Hz, Mario (as he appears in Donkey Kong) acts as a cursor, and Donkey Kong (also as he appears in Donkey Kong) stands to the left. The "NES" Bongo Set use sound effects from this game. The left bongo plays Mario's jump sound effect and clapping plays the sound effect of Mario jumping over an obstacle. All four gameplay modes (except Challenge) have three levels of difficulty modes, from lowest to highest: Monkey, Chimp, and Gorilla. The second player plays as Diddy Kong in multiplayer modes. Every song has a varying number of beats, which is indicated from the number of barrels next to their titles on the selection menu.

Donkey Kong Jr.: In the "NES" Bongo Set, the right bongo plays the sound effect of Donkey Kong Jr. getting hit by an obstacle.

Haul out the bongos on a Saturday night, and start hammering and clapping away to covered versions of songs like Blink 182's All The Small Things, 99 Red Balloons and Supergrass's Alright, and you'll be a party king in no time (or Satan incarnate to the neighbours downstairs trying to get the six week old baby to sleep). But, as much fun as the game is, you'll really need an extra pair of bongos (or an extra three pairs) to get the most out of it, and even then you'll probably find that it doesn't go the distance, and soon makes way for party mainstays like Samba and SingStar. Or, if GameCube is the king of your jungle, Super Monkey Ball and WarioWare. Konga! Konga! Harris, Craig (June 17, 2010). "E3 2010: Shigeru Miyamoto Likes Donkey Kong Country After All". IGN.

My understanding is that you do most of the controller work for Nintendon't. First off, thank you so much, all of you guys who work with Nintendon't. It's truly amazing. My second pair of bongos are detected as a normal controller in any of the ports.

Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong are hanging out at the beach, when they come across some mysterious objects that resemble barrels. Fearing they had something to do with King K. Rool, they take them to Cranky Kong. Cranky explains that they are bongos, so Donkey tries playing them. Diddy tries as well. Then, when Donkey claps, the bongos started glowing. Cranky explained that the bongos had some kind of power inside them. Donkey and Diddy continue to play the bongos, but they both play terribly. Cranky advises them to practice. At first, they are against this, but then they realize if they can become successful in playing the bongos, they could afford as many bananas as they wish, so they start practicing. Feel the beat! Join Donkey Kong® and Diddy Kong® as they drum and clap their way through hits old and new on a musical adventure that's more fun than a barrel of monkeys! A microphone is also located between the two drumhead buttons. The intended use for it is to clap your hands above the controller when the games prompt you to.
