History VideoGame / DonkeyKongJungleBeat

* InstantThunder: Justified? You are the one causing the thunder that proceeds the shock the ninja monkeys get.

* ThemeNaming: The boss kongs are all named for their fighting style, [[OddNameOut except for Dread Kong.]]

* CaptainErsatz: Many, which is odd, since Creator/{{Nintendo}} owns all ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry'' characters.

* MoodMusic: The music will pickup more elements when Donkey Kong's combos get longer, with people chanting in the background eventually.

* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: Asteroid Belt, the second level of the Star Fruit Kingdom (and the last regular level in the game), and the following Sumo Kong battle, though it is not as far out of the atmosphere.

''Donkey Kong Jungle Beat'' is a {{platform game}} starring DonkeyKong, made by Creator/{{Nintendo}} for the {{Nintendo GameCube}} (and later released on the {{Wii}}). Although superficially similar to the ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry'' series, the game has little to do with [[{{Rare}} Rare's]] stint with the character, notable in that it features none of the characters introduced in {{the nineties}}. Be that as it may, some elements from ''Donkey Kong Country'', such as riding animals and collecting scattered coins and bananas, do feature in the game.

* InfiniteOneUps: Pristine Sea, the ocean stage right before the Karate Kong fight, offers the opportunity for pulling off what's likely the most magnificent instance of InfiniteOneUps in DonkeyKong history, short of the rope trick in "Misty Mine" from the original ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry''. After reaching the water's edge near the start, don't collect any bananas. swim until you get to the small island, and perform as many aerial combos off the right shore before falling into the ocean without touching the ground. After that, perform a wall-jump off the eastern wall. Go back to the start (but don't step on dry land!) and collect all the bananas for about six beats apiece. The barrel blast and Orco sections will increase your banana numbers exponentially. When you finally touch dry land, you will have attained well over three thousand bananas!

* ElectricJellyfish: And they are completely invincible but the game also has regular, non electrifying, non invincible jellyfish.

* AnimalMecha: Turret Tusk

The original [=GameCube=] release had Donkey Kong's moves controlled via a set of bongo peripherals normally used to play the ''DonkeyKonga'' {{rhythm game}}s. Said control scheme works ''much'' better than it sounds. Meanwhile, the Wii release used more traditional platforming controls, making use of actual buttons and the control stick, but also mimicking the bongo controls to some degree. All of this naturally makes for a very interesting and unusual gaming experience.

* ElectricJellyfish: But the game also has regular, non electrifying jellyfish.

* HarmlessElectrocution: The ninja monkeys on storm hill who jump into the air and raise their swords in the middle of a thunderstorm still have to be finished off by Donkey Kong after they are shocked.

* BigBoosHaunt

* FloatingWater: one levels has bodies of water that hover in the air and you have to swim through.

* HailfirePeaks: The kingdoms in general, most notably the Cherry Kingdom.

* LethalLavaLand
* LevelAte: Sweet Paradise

* SlippySlideyIceWorld: You even ''ice skate'' through them instead of running.

* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: Asteroid Belt, the second level of the Star Fruit Kingdom (and the last regular level in the game), and the following Sumo Kong battle, which takes place on the top meteors burning up in the atmosphere.

* SmashingHallwayTrapsOfDoom: Unlike many other games, being smashed isn't instantly fatal, Donkey Kong's strong enough to push the walls back apart at the cost of some beats.

* MakeMeWantToShout: Donkey Kong while using the squirrel parachute and Helibirds.

* MakesMeWantToShout: Donkey Kong while using the squirrel parachute and Helibirds.

* MakesMeWannaShout: Donkey Kong while using the squirrel parachute and bird lifts.

* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: Asteroid Belt, the second level of the Star Fruit Kingdom (and the last regular level in the game), and the following Sumo Kong battle, which take on place in various planetoids.

* SuperStrength: Donkey Kong shows it more than in previous games where you played as him
