Donkey Kong 3 departs from this gameplay: it is a shooter game in which the player controls Stanley, an exterminator who must prevent Donkey Kong from stirring up insects in his greenhouse. The player fires bug spray at Donkey Kong and enemy insects that attempt to steal Stanley's flowers. They complete levels by spraying Donkey Kong enough to force him to the top of the screen or by killing all the insects. [127] If push came to shove, we'd personally prefer to sit down with Donkey Kong 3 over Donkey Kong Jr. purely for how it diverges from its predecessors in intriguing ways. Taking control of that most famous of Nintendo icons, er... Stanley the Bugman, it's your job to use your bug spray to deflect the advances of flower fan Donkey Kong through your greenhouse. DK has enlisted an army of bugs and bees to keep you occupied while he makes off with your prize petunias. Jungle Beat was released in Japan on December 16, 2004, in Europe on February 4, 2005, and in North America on March 14. [24] It was released as both a standalone game and a bundle with the DK Bongos. [25] [26] The European version was released on the same day as the Game Boy Advance Donkey Kong game DK: King of Swing. [26] To promote the North American release, Nintendo sent 20 individuals dressed up as apes to participate in the 20th Los Angeles Marathon, which took place on March 6. The individuals wore Jungle Beat-branded clothing, carried DK Bongos, and chanted the game's title as they ran. [27] Jungle Beat was released when Donkey Kong had mostly been relegated to spin-offs and supporting roles in other Nintendo franchises, following Microsoft's acquisition of Rare. [8]

The player can review their achievements, which includes "Hit Parade", "Dixie's Notes", and "Badge Collection". The first option shows the highest score (in percentage) of notes that the player hit. The second option shows the advice already received from Dixie. Lastly, the third option shows a collection of badges earned by the player. Helgeson, Matt (November 2004). "Donkey Konga".

ADonkey 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.
