The Donkey Konga utilizes the Bongo Controllers allowing you as the gamer to drum out the songs as different beat patterns scroll across the screen similar to the game play of titles such as The Dance Dance Revolution series by Konami. The bongos not only sense when they are beat on, but the sound of the player clapping as well is picked up by a microphone placed between the two drums, making for a more complex and motor skill driven game play.

GamePlasma's Chief Editor, Tim Bradshaw, and I had a chance to play Donkey Konga on the back of this SUV against one of Nintendo's female marketing representative. The bongos microphones were a little sensitive and picked up the claps of the other players, but that just helped Tim out in the long run seeing as how he did the worst out of the three of us. Apparently the female representative had been playing the game for a while and gave me the opportunity to get beaten by a girl very very badly.
