Konga Beat

Konga Beat is Donkey Kong's Final Smash, where he gets out his Bongos and plays them. The player can increase the power of the attack, by timing their button presses to the beat of the music. During his Final Smash, DK is invincible. When you pressing buttons to the beat, he claps or strikes the bongos, creating a forceful wave each time. Unfortunately, DK is completely immobile for the duration of the Final Smash. Although a moving stage like Rumble Falls (ironically DK's stage) will still scroll, Konga Beat will cause it to move much more slowly, hopefully allowing DK to finish the Final Smash before the stage KO's him. If he initiates the move midair, he will scroll with the screen. As the attack begins, red circles will appear and shrink upon the bongos. These rings serve as a timing aid, if you press A when the ring lines up with the drums, you will get a large shockwave that can do 15% damage or so. If you do 5 successful beats in a row, Donkey Kong will clap creating a shockwave that has more knockback. Interestingly, there are 3 beats that occur even before the announcer says "Ready? Go!".

Bongos were Donkey Kong's musical attack in Donkey Kong 64. They would play a more important role in the rhythm game Donkey Konga and were used as the controls for Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat.

Trophy Description

DK about to go to town with some bongos! His performance is so magnificent and upbeat that it creates damage-inducing sound waves. Press the buttons in time to the music, and the sound waves may grow stronger. DK's invulnerable when launching this attack, but he's also immobile, so be careful using it on scrolling stages.
