Donkey Kong Jungle Beat: The FUNNEST Game Ever

- We're talking about Donkey Kong Jungle Beat today, which is without a doubt the very definition of the word "fun". I got a lot of history with this game, so allow me to wax on about this weird little title for the next half-hour. Got a problem with that? Thought not.

100% most underrated channel in existence. I love how much passion you put into everything. Every time I watch one of ur vids it’s like a personal friend is telling me about something they love
Aw, thanks! I'm glad you get that vibe from my stuff. :)
A game for bongo enthusiasts everywhere.
Also the LOUDEST game ever.
My nearest Toys R Us had a big, impressive Jungle Beat kiosk in the spring of '05. It felt so futuristic at the time. I thought it was the future of gaming and the Wii kinda proved that. About a year later my local Future Shop had the bundles on for $20 and I played the heck out of it. First time I did my mom thought I was trashing my room 😂
Oh heck yeah - I've gotten a few "what is going on down there" moments when I first got the bongos. It's an easy joke, but they're the most fun way to get evicted.
I had such deep-rooted animosity toward the game from the mistranslated interview that when I finally set out to properly play it, I was taken aback by how fun it was and had to come to terms with really enjoying nearly everything about it. This was years before the truth of the interview came to light, mind you, but it was after Donkey Kong Country Returns' release, which definitely helped let me make peace with the game.
I'd still really like one or two elements or characters from the game to come back and get incorporated with the larger Country cast. Hoofer or Orco could definitely hang with the others!
That interview would've steamed me too. In retrospect I'm glad I didn't have regular internet access until the late 2000s - would've driven myself insane.
I also still think about how Hoofer's just too cool for one game. Love to see him and some of the other buddies again, even if it's just a picture on a wall or something. I'll take what I can get!
I had this game as a kid and loved it. I was bad at it but I loved it nonetheless. I'm approaching my mid-twenties now and I had ZERO idea that this game had a secret 4th crest you could get. My mind is kinda blown
Sorry for spoiling that haha
@@TheCartoonGamer8000 no worries! I probably wasn't gonna go back to Jungle Beat without watching the video any how. Its just funny discovering something so basic in something that you thought you knew very well
Wow, Toronto history, Canada wonderland, Donkey kong this video got everything, also side note good question on four kids flashback, I actually had no idea that Darren was from Canada.
DK Jungle Beat was my first DK game ever... and man, with the Bongo Controller, it was so AWESOME! I sometimes wish there was a sequel, but all I got next was Donkey Konga 2.
I recently found this game and DK bongos at a retro game store and it is an absolute blast! Great video, I love the stories and passion you have for this game.
I'm glad to hear it!
I think the bongos not being detected may be from usage. If you're hitting them hard I can imagine it weakens the sensors over time. I learned you can get away with pressing gently but applying enough pressure. Not as fun but it is quiet! The line on top of each bongo represents the divide between TWO buttons. The bongos feature four inputs on top. Plug it in while playing Smash Bros. Melee for example!
I like how the theme of your intro is Earthworm Jim's Andy Asteroids victory theme.
Seeing 8:49 reminded me of the music of Ice Warren.
18:48 I agree that the final boss isn't tough at all; all the other bosses put up better fights.
24:30 I forgot about that and I played Donkey Kong Country Returns but not Tropical Freeze.
I only played the Wii version of Donkey Kong Jungle Beat.
What's next for DK Month considering you talked about Returns and Tropical Freeze
Returns and Tropical Freeze.
DK64
As much as I dislike what Nintendo did with DK after Rare's sale, this one was the bright spot for me. Like you said, nothing makes much sense and there's not much effort to make it all fit together, but it's just a whole lot of fun. And the only version I played was the Wii one, so I had no idea about the differences. I'd like to try the original out someday.
I'll admit, I did play the Wii version, which definitely detracted from the authentic experience.
However, I will still say that it's lackluster comapred to the Country series. It lacked a ton of the things I liked like animal buddies, partners, and the Kong cast. It felt too short and the platforming wasn't very solid. The music wasn't that great for the most part.
Never had this game. But still have Donkey Konga 1 and 2 and 4 drum sets! (Should literally dust them off and play again someday!)
Definitely give Jungle Beat a go if you can! Surprised to see you here, btw!
I really want to play Jungle Beat one day (with the bongos of course)
I can’t understand how people say this game *should* be played with the bongos. Like I barely even understand how you’re supposed to use them to play it.
Once you actually have them, it makes sense.
I didn't think there were so many difference between the Game Cube and the Wii version of this game.
Thanks for the shoutout! This is a channel I consider to be excellent.
I remember Dunkey saying you can lose weight playing this game
5:48 That sounds like an episode of an out there sitcom
Honestly, yeah!
Finally someone understands
I actually do own the Wii version of this game and it's really a fun game
Also I like to point out that I played this game on the wii that supported motion control. It was fun
I didn't like the GameCube version. The bongos were annoying. However, I found a sealed copy of the Wii version in Washington D.C. recently. Much better. Still have Wii motion controls to deal with, but it's better than the bongos. I also got sealed copies of Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Wario Land: Shake It! I got all 3 sealed games for $90. Hard to pass that up.
That might've been the first game my highschool sweetheart and I bought together. We've been together for 21 years now and are married. Brings back memories. Also remember when Bernie Mac passed. I just started watching old episodes of the Bernie Mac Show on Amazon Prime Video.
That’s really sweet. Jungle Beat brings people together in amazing ways!
I should also check out some Bernie Mac myself sometime.
My childhood love game
This was a really fun video to watch!
I remember playing the demo version of Jungle Beat, it was fun to play but would have been better with the congas. I wish I picked it up back in the day.
Also just want to comment, DK's animations look awesome! He's so expressive with movement and face.
I really hope this isn't the end of the Kong-a-thon! You still need to talk about DK64 and the Retro Studios games! Oh, and to answer the question of blaming the "T" rating of Donkey Konga on Good Charlotte, you can always blame Good Charlotte! 🤣
I didn’t say it was over yet - but I’m not looking at DK64; that’s just way too big, and I don’t wanna exhaust myself any more than I already have.
@@TheCartoonGamer8000 Fair
DONKEY KONG???!!!
It's also the coolest one imo. Personally all its missing is other kong fam members to be my favorite game in the series
Great video
Excellent video!
Thank you, Gibbon! Your magazine scans and translations really helped, too!
@@TheCartoonGamer8000 glad I could be of service! ^_^
Love it!
Casual bongos
This game deserved more than it got. It is, indeed, just fun embodied. That, and pure monkey rage.
You should've called the title of this video: the funkiest game ever, to nod funky kong. Great video though.
I mean, Funky's not in the game, but I get what you mean.
Ah. Good point lol
Hey lad
Ive been watching ur content ever since your smash characters list
I was wondering
Whats ur opinion on the wario land series?
I’ve played the first two and Shake It on the Wii. No complaints from me, I enjoyed what I’ve played.
Ooo 😮
Batty hater! Bats are cute! 😭
Wait, he hates Good Charlotte?! Unsubbed, Unliked, Uncommented
It's just a joke!
@@TheCartoonGamer8000 Is it true you'd enjoy an all-Canadian band version of Donkey Konga?
@@gligarguy4010 I'm not playing Donkey Konga.
Yes dude Good Charlotte or Seth Rogen even being mentioned in the same breath with the greatness of Donkey Kong is an experimental blasphemy at best! Thank you.
