* AdvancingBossOfDoom: The Iguanadon thing that chases Donkey Kong and Hoofer, they later get an opportunity for revenge but it is invincible in its initial appearance.

* GreyAndGrayMorality: The [=GameCube=] version's story was simply that Donkey wanted to become king of the jungle and was beating up everything that was trying to stop him. The party monkeys supporting him for unknown reasons. The Wii version's story made him a hero who was going after thieves who stole bananas from the party monkeys, making it more like black and white morality.
** The Kongs were only attacking Donkey Kong because they were under the influence of Cactus/Ghastly King.

''Donkey Kong Jungle Beat'' is a {{platform game}} starring Franchise/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.

* AdaptationalHeroism: The plot summary above is actually from the Wii release. The original plot involved DK beating up a bunch of apes just to show he's the biggest badass among all of them.

* AssKickingPose: Karate Kong especially

* 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. Donkey himself can still be finished by electrical hazards, but is unlikely he will be in the Gamecube version.

* 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. Not true in the new play control version though.
* SpikesOfDoom: Besides the prickles and thorns common to Donkey Kong games there are also ice formations, sharp crystals, spiny fish and even some fury mammals that serve as them. Subverted in the clock level, where the spikes can't hurt you because they are in the background.
