Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat
About the Game
New Play Control!: Donkey Kong - Jungle Beat is a re-imagining of the GameCube game designed as a more traditional platformer that can be played in a standard control scheme and without the DK Bongos. This means that several levels have had minor design adjustments made, some bosses appear in different kingdoms then they did originally, and Donkey Kong now has 3 hitpoints before he loses a life (as opposed to the original game, where his score would be reduced instead). There are now only 3 kingdoms per letter barrel.
Gameplay & Core Systems
This version of the game also doesn't require players to earn crests to open new kingdoms as the kingdoms will unlock one after another once beaten.
