Gameplay
Donkey Konga is played with drums, so-called DK Bongos , one of which is included with the game, but which can also be purchased individually.
The player selects a piece from several - approx. 30 in Donkey Konga and Donkey Konga 2 and approx. 55 in Donkey Konga 3 - different pieces of music, including songs . The track will then be played and icons of different colors will appear on the screen. Depending on the symbols shown, the player must perform one of four different actions:
| Yellow: | hit the left drum |
| Red: | hit the right drum |
| Pink: | hit both drums at the same time |
| Blue: | clap your hands |
At the end of the piece, the program evaluates the drumming and rewards the player with virtual coins. The coins can be used to unlock additional game options such as a higher level of difficulty.
