I 1)B) VERSION HISTORY I
I----------------------I
Version 1.1.0 - January 2006
Major update! I realised that the difficulty rating for each song actually
changes between each mode. So you'll notice that the Track List section looks
totally different now. I'm still working on listing all the difficulties for
Concert and Battle Mode, though.
Also, a couple of minor spelling erorrs and a few other little things have been
fixed.
Version 1.0.0 - January 2006
First release of the guide. Almost complete, just a few sections still to be
added. These are coming very soon!

I 2)A) INTRODUCTION I
I-------------------I
Welcome! Welcome to the wonderful world of Donkey Konga 2. If you never got
round to playing the original Donkey Konga, then I can safely say that you're
going to love this game. If you are veteran bongo-player fresh from completing
the original game, then you'll find that lots of fresh new songs and game modes
await you in this sequel.
So what exactly is new in Donkey Konga 2? Check out section 2C for the exact
changes that have been made for this sequel.
In this guide, I'm going to attempt to cover everything about this game. Note
that this is a PAL guide, because the line-up of songs is completely different
between the PAL (European) and NTSC (American) versions of the game. Total
beginners should start reading "Section 3: How To Play" for the basic
information about the game. Further on is the song list, which also lists
difficulties for all the tracks. There's also a Lyrics section at the end,
so that you can sing along as you play the songs!
If you like this guide, be sure to check out my companion guide for the
original Donkey Konga, which contains all the information you need to play the
game!
Enjoy!

*******************************************************************************
3) HOW TO PLAY
*******************************************************************************
----------------------------------------------------------------------------DK2
Platform - Nintendo Gamecube
Players - 1 to 4 players simultaneous
Memory - Uses 5 blocks of memory
Accessories - Game supports play with the DK Bongos
TV Modes - Supports 50HZ and 60HZ mode
----------------------------------------------------
Donkey Konga 2 is a rhythm-action game. Music plays, and you have to beat along
to it using the DK Bongos. If you hit them in-time with the music, you'll make
up a pretty cool percussion line for the track. This section will cover the
basics of gameplay, and we'll start by covering how to set up the game when you
first play.
I--------------------------I
I 3)A) SETTING UP THE GAME I
I--------------------------I
If you have a pair of DK Bongos, plug them into Controller Socket 1. Any
subsequent Bongos or regular Controllers can be inserted into the other three
ports. Bear in mind that a controller can be used instead of the bongos,
although I highly recommend you invest in a set of Bongos if you want the full
gameplay experience.
Now, put the Game Disc into your Gamecube. Press the Power button, and the game
will start.
First you have to select whether to display the game in 50HZ or 60HZ mode. 60HZ
mode is preferable, as it produces a clearer picture, but some older TVs don't
support it.
A Health & Safety warning will display. Press Start to acknowledge it.
Then, you will be asked whether you want to create a game file on your Memory
Card. Donkey Konga 2 takes 5 blocks of memory data, which is nothing, really,
and requires to create a file to save all your game data. Select YES to
continue. (You can select NO, but it means you can't save your progress)
Now the Title Screen will display. Press the Start button on your bongos, which
is located on the vertical panel in between the two drums, or the Start button
on your controller if that's what you're using.
You will now be in the Main Menu. Use the left and right bongos (or the Control
Stick) to navigate the menu. Go right four times and press Start to select the
Electric Hut. Now press Start at "DK Bongos & Controller".
Here you can configure your bongos and controllers. Whichever ports a pair of
Bongos is connected to, a bar will appear. Here you can set the clap
sensitivity. The clap sensor is located in between the two drums. When you
clap, a small bar will raise, and slowly fall back down. Clap a few more times,
then adjust the slider (with the left and right bongos) to a few notches below
where the line jumps up to. This ensures the sensitivity is right. Most players
will find the centre is the best place for the slider. Too far left, and the
sensor picks up everything, too far right, and it might not pick up a quiet
clap.
NB For 4-player multiplayer games, each sensitivity should be low (ie far
right), otherwise your bongos may pick up other players claps.
For any controllers connected, you can set the rumble feature on or off, and
the control configuration. See the next section (3B) for more details on
controller configurtions, but for now, I recommend Type B.
There! You're all ready to play!
I-----------------------------------I
I 3)B) CONTROLS AND GAMEPLAY BASICS I
I-----------------------------------I
So how do you use the bongos and controllers? Here are the controls for both.
*----------------------------------------------------------------*
* BONGOS *
* MENU CONTROLS *
* *
* Left Drum - Scroll the menu down *
* Right Drum - Scroll the menu up *
* Start - Select a menu option *
* Press and Hold Both Drums - Return to the previous menu screen *
* *
* *
* CONTROLLER *
* MENU CONTROLS *
* *
* Control Stick - Navigate menus up or down *
* A Button or Start - Select a menu option *
* B Button - Return to the previous menu screen *
*----------------------------------------------------------------*
In the game, you hit the bongos in-time to the music. Coloured circles scroll
along the screen, and you must hit the corresponding bongo when each circle
passes through the target marker on the left of the screen. Here are what the
colours correspond to.
YELLOW CIRCLE - Hit the LEFT bongo
RED CIRCLE - Hit the RIGHT bongo
PINK CIRCLE - Hit BOTH bongos at the same time
BLUE STAR - CLAP your hands
Note that when you are instructed to clap, any short, loud noise will register.
Some people prefer to hit the plastic sides of the bongo drums instead.
Here are the controls for the in-game action.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BONGOS
GAME CONTROLS
Left Drum - Hit when you see a yellow circle
Right Drum - Hit when you see a red circle
Both Drums - Hit when you see a pink circle
Clap Your Hands - Clap when you see a blue star
Start - Pauses the game
CONTROLLER
GAME CONTROLS
There are 3 different controller setups, and you can choose which option suits
you best in the Electric Hut in DK Town (See section 3A). Type A is useless,
Type B is quite good (and is my prefered setup) and Type C is also workable.
Here they are. This shows which buttons correspond to which action on the
bongos.
TYPE A
Control Stick or D-Pad - Hit left bongo
A, B, X or Y Buttons or C-Stick - Hit right bongo
Left and Right Bongo Buttons - Hit both bongos
L or R Buttons - Clap
Start - Pause the game
TYPE B
L Button - Hit left bongo
R Button - Hit right bongo
Left and Right Bongo Buttons - Hit both bongos
A, B, X, or Y Buttons or C-Stick - Clap
Start - Pause the game
Type C
Y Button - Hit left bongo
X Button - Hit right bongo
Left and Right Bongo Buttons - Hit both bongos
A Button - Clap
Start - Pause the game
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And that's the controls. Also, you will sometimes be required to perform a drum
roll. This is indicated by a circle with a long tail, like this:
/---\----------------\
/ /-\ \ \
I I I IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
\ \-/ / /
\---/----------------/
If it's yellow, you have to drum-roll on the left bongo for as long as the tail
is in the target circle. If it's red, drum-roll the right bongo. It's best to
use both hands on one bongo to get a good point total, as you can hit it twice
as many times with two hands. If it's a pink tailed circle, drumroll on both
bongos as fast as you can. If it's a blue tailed star, you have to rapidly
clap, although it's better just to hit either side of the bongos as fast as you
can.
Every time you hit a circle as it passes through the target marker, you are
awarded a rating which appears briefly above the marker. 'Great' appears if you
hit it bang-on, when the circle is perfectly positioned inside the marker. You
get an 'OK' if the circle was just out, and a 'Bad' if you were well off the
marker. If you totally fail to hit a note, you get a 'Miss', although this
doesn't show up until the final point summary at the end.
OK! Now you're ready to play. Try out a simple, solo stage on Monkey Mode in
Street Performance. I recommend All Star, Losing My Religion, and La Bamba to
start off with. For more in-depth information about gameplay, see the next
section, Modes and Menus.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------DK2
*******************************************************************************
4) MODES AND MENUS
*******************************************************************************
----------------------------------------------------------------------------DK2
Donkey Konga 2 has a rather overwhelming amount of things to do in it. Here
I'll list all the menus and modes contained in the game, and first I'll
summarise the main menu (the first one you see after the title screen).
STREET PERFORMANCE
This is the main single player mode, where you can beat along to the tracks at
three different levels. Unlike the original, you can also play Duets in this
mode.
BATTLE
For two players only, here you can play head-to-head with a friend to see who
has the best drumming talent.
CHALLENGE
If you're good enough, you (and a friend, if you want) can battle through a
selection of tracks from the game.
FREESTYLE ZONE
A new addition for DK2, this mode lets you and up to three others jam to any
song you want, with no on-screen prompts. It's basicaly a freestyle mode,
where you can beat away till your heart's content!
CONCERT
The main multiplayer mode, join together with your friends and try your hands
at a quartet. Alternatively, two players can share the same set of bongos for
some confusing but fun action!
MUSIC LAB
One to four players can battle it out on two different mini-games which both
utilise the DK bongos. To play, you will have to gather coins from some of the
other modes.
ELECTRIC HUT
Here you can change the options for the game.
HALL OF RECORDS
This contains a leaderboard of most-selected songs, along with a record of
which Dixie's notes you've received, and which badges you've earned.
SHOPPING MALL
Here you can spend all your hard-earned coins buying bongo sound-sets and
Gorilla Level tracks.
In the next few sections, I'll go into more detail about each mode, and how to
set up a game in each. At the start of each sub-section, I've included a quick
guide of the menu screens to go through to get into the mode.
I-------------------------I
I 4)A) STREET PERFORMANCE I
I-------------------------I
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 or 2 Players
Street Performance > Select Solo or Duet > Select Difficulty > Select Track >
> Select Controller and Bongo Sound
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the main game mode, where you can play any song at any level. Once you
enter, you need to choose whether you want to play a Solo or a Duet. Solo is
the normal mode for one player, while duet is for two players. You can also
play duet with just one player, in which case the computer will play the other
part for you.
Next, you need to choose a difficulty. Choose Monkey mode if you're a total
beginner, Chimp if you're relatively experienced, and Gorilla if you're an
expert. Note that you have to buy Gorilla tracks with your coins before you can
play them (See Section 4I for more details on buying tracks).
Monkey, Chimp and Gorilla Beat-Mix mode is a new addition for Donkey Konga 2,
replacing the rather rubbish JAM mode from the original. In Beat-Mix, the notes
that you have to play for each track change every time you play. So, for
instance, the first time you play the first note could be a clap, then the
second time it could be a left bongo hit. This mode adds a bit of extra
challenge for players who know each track inside-out. You can only play a track
on Beat-Mix once you've earned a 100% Clear for that track on the corresponding
difficulty in the main mode.
After you've selected a level, you need to select a track to play. There's a
wide range of stuff in there, from rock, to latin, to game soundtracks. Choose
something to match your mood! The number of bananas next to the song title
shows you how hard the song is. 1-3 bananas is quite easy, 4-6 is moderate and
7-8 is very hard. Note also that the banana rating is for the difficulty you
are on at the moment: a Gorilla track with a 1 banana rating is much harder
than a Monkey track with a 1 banana rating. But, that same Gorilla track is
easy compared to the other Gorilla tracks which have higher banana ratings
than it does.
EXAMPLE
"I'm a Slave 4 U" - Monkey Mode - 1 Banana - VERY EASY
"Pumping on Your Stereo" - Gorilla Mode - 1 Banana - QUITE HARD
"Mansize Rooster" - Gorilla Mode - 8 Bananas - IMPOSSIBLE
Once you select your track, you can select which bongo sound set you wish to
use. Scroll through with the left and right bongos (or the control stick).
These add a new sound instead of the regular bongos and claps. So, for
example, in the Drums sound set, a left or right hit souns a drum-kit drum, and
a clap sounds a cymbal crash. For info on other sound sets, check Section 6B.
After you select your sound set, press Start on the controller you wish to use.
Although the bottom of the screen shows all the controllers plugged in, you can
only use one in Solo, and two in Duet mode.
When you're in the game, you have to hit the corresponding bongo as its circle
passes through the white target marker at the left. See "Section 3B: Controls
and Gameplay Basics" for more details. Your objective here is to hit as many
accurate (Great or OK rated) notes as possible. Doing this fills up the
Phonograph Gauge in the top right of the screen. It has to be filled beyond
the clear marker to successfully complete the song. If it's still in the red,
you've not hit enough notes correctly, but if it's in the yellow or the green,
you're set to complete the track. Beware, though, as hitting Bad or Miss rated
notes DECREASES the gauge, so you might hit some bad notes at the end and just
fall short of the clear line. Very annoying! If you get into the yellow or the
green by the end of a song, you get a silver medal next to the song on the
track selection screen. Get a totally full Gauge (quite hard, but you can make
some mistakes) and you get a gold medal. I don't yet know if there's any
special reward for getting a gold on every track.
Every successful note you hit, you get coins, which fall in to the register
below the target circle. A Great gives you 2 coins, OK gives you 1. You get
none for a Bad or Miss. You also get one coin for every hit you do on drum
rolls, so make the most of it: these are where you can really rack up your
total amount. Use these coins to buy stuff in the Shopping Mall (See section
4I). You will only receive the coins you have collected if you clear the stage
(ie the Gauge is in the yellow or the green at the end of the song).
Finally, we have the points box in the lower right. You get points for
accuracy, and the number of hits you make on drum rolls. The top 3 point totals
for each track are stored in the high-score records which appear on the track
selection screen.
At the end of the track, you'll be given your point totals if you cleared the
track. You'll then be given a title based on your performance. The titles run
as follows:
(Sorry! Coming Soon!)
If you scored within the top 3 high-scores for this track, you'll be asked to
pick a badge to input on the high-score tables. There are a variety of badges
available, and you can scroll through them by hitting the left or right bongos.
Each person who plays the game should choose their own badge, and stick to it.
This way, you can see which person got which score on the high-score tables. A
list of the available badges, along with information on how to get more of
them, can be found in Section 4)F)c).
I-------------I
I 4)B) BATTLE I
I-------------I
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 Players Only
In Battle mode, two players drum together Head-to-Head to see who's the best at
Donkey Konga 2! This mode is for 2 players only.
Select Battle from the main menu, and then select the track you and your friend
want to drum along to. Now you can use the left and right bongos (or control
stick) to select your bongo sound set. Press Start on the two controllers you
want to use (they don't necessarily need to be the ones in controller ports 1
and 2), and press Start again to begin.
In this mode, the winner is the person with the most points at the end of the
track. Points for each player are displayed in the corresponding box at the top
and bottom of the screen. As well as getting points for Great and OK rated
hits, and losing them for Bad or Miss rated notes, battle mode offers you new
ways to gather the all-important points to beat your opponent.
The POW Block appears once for each player, and replaces one of the normal
bongo or clap circles. The POW Blocks respond to anything: left, right or clap.
It's important to hit these as accurately as you can, because they can drop
your opponents score dramatically if you hit it correctly. The following are
the effects for the different ratings for hitting a POW Block:
Great - Drop opponents score to 0
OK - Drop opponents score by 90%
Bad / Miss - No effect
You can see how important it is now. If you miss your block but your opponent
gets a Great on his, then your scores will be dramatically different, and you
probably won't be able to win.
During the battle, a slot-machine will appear for both players. As it spins,
three of the notes will have 'Stop' written above them. You must try to hit
each of these with the same accuracy: Great, OK, or Bad. Each hit will get stop
one wheel of the slots depending on how it was hit. Great gets you a Link, OK
stops on Tetra, and Bad stops on Ganondorf (a Miss will get make the reel stop
on the idiot fairy Tingle). If you hit all three of the notes with the same
accuracy (eg Great, Great, Great), you'll receive a points bonus. Three Great's
(three Link's) gets you 10,000 points. Three OK's (three Tetra's) gets you 8000
points. Three Bad's (three Ganondorf's) gets you a measly 4000 points.
According to the manual, there are other combos you can create, but "they're
secret". I will endeavor to find all of these and put them into the next
version of the guide.
The final feature is the "Rock, Paper, Scissors Roll". In Battle mode, every
song ends with a big drumroll on both drums. During this, pictures symbolising
Rock, Paper and Scissors appear on the left. Each hit changes the picture. you
need to try and beat your opponents symbol at the end of the drumroll.
For anyone who doesn't know how Rock, Paper, Scissors works, I'll explain. Your
hand can be one of three things: a fist (Rock), a flat hand (Paper) or a hand
with two fingers out (Scissors). Each hand beats one hand, but loses against
the other hand.
Rock blunts Scissors (Rock wins)
Scissors cut Paper (Scissors win)
Paper covers Rock (Paper wins)
So, for example, if you end up with scissors and your opponent has paper, you
win, because scissors defeats paper. If both have the same hand, it's a tie.
If there's a winner, that player gets to keep his opponent's drum roll bonus
points (the points he's ammassed during the final drum roll). If it's a tie,
nothing happens.
And that's Battle mode. Make sure YOU always come out on top, OK?
I----------------I
I 4)C) CHALLENGE I
I----------------I
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 or 2 Players
Challenge > Select Solo or Duet > Select number of tracks >
> Select Controller(s) and Bongo Sound(s)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This mode can be played with 1 or 2 players. The aim is to complete every song
in a difficulty level to a reasonably good standard. Start by selecting
Challenge in the main menu. You'll then need to choose Solo if you're just
playing yourself, or Duet if you're playing with a friend. After this, you need
to choose how many songs you want to play through:
6-Song Set is for beginners. It contains Monkey and Chimp level tracks.
12-song set is for intermediate-players. It contains Chimp and Gorilla level
tracks.
Full set is for experts. It contains a whopping 34 songs on Chimp and Gorrilla
level.
Note that you can't play the Full Set until you've unlocked EVERY Gorilla track
at Jungle Jams in the Shopping Mall. You buy these tracks using coins you gain
from Street Performance.
Also note, just for reference, that the last song in all 3 sets is the secret
track "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye". Challenge mode is the only place that
you can hear this song.
Now, all the controllers inserted will show up on the bottom of the screen.
Players can choose their sound set with the left or right bongos (or the
control stick), and then press Start on their controller. Once one controller
is selected (or 2 if you're playing Duet), press Start again to begin.
In this mode, tracks are played in a random order, one after the other. You
have to try and clear them all. Unlike in Street Performance, the Phonograph
Gauge in the top right starts off full. It gradually falls if you get Bad or
Miss rated notes, but it DOESN'T refill if you get Great or OK notes. The only
time it refills is at the start of each new song, but it doesn't go up by much.
If it ever totally depletes, it's Game Over. The red, orange and green colours
on it make no difference whatsoever, so you can ignore them. It's only when the
gauge totally empties that you lose.
Other things on the screen include the Points Box, which is the same one for
both of you in Duet mode. This fills if you make good hits, and falls if you
make bad ones. The three top point tallies for each set are saved.
The final thing is the flag at the bottom of the screen. This counts up how
many tracks you've successfully completed so far.
I---------------------I
I 4)D) FREESTLYE ZONE I
I---------------------I
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 to 4 Players
Freestyle Zone > (Options can be changed while playing)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'll start off by saying that Freestyle Zone is rather bizarre. Basically, it
lets you play whatever you want on the bongos. there are no notes that appear,
no points, nothing on the screen. Just the scrolling background, the song name,
and a Hit Counter.
When you enter the mode, a Welcome message appears. Press Start to acknowledge
it. The introductory music ("Start Jamming!") plays in the background. Try
hitting a bongo, or clapping. Notice that a large picture pops up. Yes.
This mode allows you to just beat away to the music. You can have more than one
player playing at once. Every hit produces a picture: a different one for Left,
Right, Both, and Clap. the pictures change every 50 hits.
If you want to access options in this mode, press Start. this will take you to
a menu at the top of the screen. Continue takes you back to the "action", and
Quit leaves the mode. If you want to alter settings, move to Change Settings,
and press Start.
First you can change the song. you can select all of the songs that appear in
Street Performance, as well as "Start Jamming!", a remix of the Donkey Konga 2
Theme.
Press Start again to proceed to Background Selection. This allows you to change
the background that appears while you drum. The options are...
Thrillsome Jungle
Fearsome Jungle
Sleepy Beehive
Busy Beehive
Snowy Mountain
Rumbly Peak
Coral Sea
Moonlit Sea
Port City - Foggy Morning
Port City - Firey Sunset
Konga Land
Konga Nightlife
Press Start once more to get to the Bongo Sound Set menu, where you can change
the sound of your bongos to any sets that you've unlocked in Bongos A-Go-Go.
And, by the way, you can't actually WIN in Freestyle Mode - it keeps going on.
Forever.
I--------------I
I 4)E) Concert I
I--------------I
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 to 4 Players
Jam Session > Select Share or Quartet > Select Track >
> Select Controller(s) and Bongo Sound(s)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In Concert, there's no competition between players. You and up to 4 friends
can play the tracks together, each filling in a different percussion line to
the music. If all 4 players have bongo controllers, and are reasonably talented
at the game, this can be one of the best ways to play Donkey Konga 2!
First, select Jam Session from the main menu. You'll then need to choose
whether you want to play a normal Quartet (the computer fills in any parts if
you don't have 4 people), or whether you want two people to share one set of
bongos (One player does the hits, the other does the claps).
Then select a track. The more bananas there are next to a track, the harder it
is. Finally, all players use left or right to choose their bongo sound set.
Press Start when you're ready. When all players have pressed Start, someone
needs to press it again to begin.
NB If you want to try a different line, simply plug your controller into the
corresponding controller socket before you start.
As for stuff on-screen, there isn't much, just the indicators at the left of
the screen which show you which part is which. At the end of the song, the
players are given a Synch Rating, which shows how well you played together.

I----------------------I
The Hall of Records has been expanded slightly since the original. It is no
longer home to the high score tables for each track - if you want to see them,
simply go to the track selection scree of the mode of your choice, and move to
the song you want to see scores for. After about a second, the high scores will
appear at the top of the screen. This applies to nearly every mode.
Anyway, here's what you can find in the new Hall of Records.
DIXIE'S NOTES
Here, you can view all of the notes that you have received from Dixie to date.
There are over 50 notes to collect overall. Scroll through the notes by
pressing left or right, and press Start to exit. For more information on
Dixie's Notes, see Section 8.
HIT PARADE
Here, you can view the leaderboard of the most popular song choices in each
mode. To switch between modes, press left or right on the bongos. Press Start
to exit. The modes that you can select are:
Street Performance - Solo
All-Mode Total
Battle
Concert - Quartet
Concert - Share
Street Performance - Duet
BADGE COLLECTION
Here, you can view all the badges that you have collected after playing Match

5) Track List
*******************************************************************************
----------------------------------------------------------------------------DK2
These are the tracks you can choose from in the game. First, the tracks are
just listed in their respective genres. Then they're listed in more detail,
with difficulty ratings for every mode in the game. That is: Street Performance
Solo, Street Performance Duet, Battle, Concert Share, and Concert Quartet.
Difficulties range from 1 (easy) to 8 (very hard), and are explained in more
detail in Section 4A.
Note that my in-depth difficulties for each track are still in development.
There are currently no difficulty listings for Battle or Concert modes. They
are coming soon, though!

Street Performance, Challenge, Battle and Jam Session modes. I've listed the
price, as well as what each sounds like on left, right and claps. If you have a
save file for the original Donkey Konga on your Memory Card, you can
automatically access all the bongo sounds you unlocked in the original. These
are listed at the bottom, for reference.
I'm still working through buying all the Sound Sets, so I've not got the
specific sound effects for every set yet. That's coming very soon, as soon as I
unlock them.

Incredibly, Nintendo STILL hasn't decided to put on-screen lyrics into Donkey
Konga! Let's face it, Donkey Konga 2 is a bit boring to watch somebody else
play. If there were lyrics on-screen, then people who weren't playing could
sing along with the songs, and it would be more fun for everyone.
Well, worry no more! Once again I've compiled lyrics for all the songs in the
game, so get singing! And bongo-ing, of course...

ALL STAR
By Greg Camp
Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb
In the shape of an "L" on her forehead
Well, the years start coming and they don't stop coming
Back to the rules and I hit the ground running
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
So much to do so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the back streets
You'll never know if you don't go
You'll never shine if you don't glow
Hey now you're an All Star get your game on, go play
Hey now you're a Rock Star get the show on get paid
And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold
It's a cool place and they say it gets colder
You're bundled up now but wait 'til you get older
But the meteor men beg to differ
Judging by the hole in the satellite picture
The ice we skate is getting pretty thin
The water's getting warm so you might as well swim
My world's on fire how about yours?
That's the way I like it and I'll never get bored
Hey now you're an All Star get your game on, go play
Hey now you're a Rock Star get the show on get paid
And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'M A SLAVE 4 U
By Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo
I know I may be young, but Ive...I've got feelings too.
And I need to do...what I feel like doing.
So let me go and just listen.
All you people look at me like Im a little girl
Well did you ever think it'd be okay for me to step into this world?
Always saying little girl dont step into the club
Well Im just tryin to find out why cause dancings what I love
Get it get it, get it get it (WHOOOA)
Get it get it, get it get it (WHOOOOOA)(Do you like it)
Get it get it, get it get it (OOOHHHH)(This just feels good)
I know I may come off quiet, I may come off shy
But I feel like talking, feel like dancing when I see this guy
Whats practical is logical, what the hell, who cares?
All I know is Im so happy when youre dancing there
Im a slave for you
I cannot hold it; I cannot control it
Im a slave for you
I wont deny it; Im not trying to hide it
Baby, dont you wanna, dance upon me
(I just wanna dance next to you)
To another time and place
Oh baby, dont you wanna, dance upon me,
(Are you ready)
Leaving behind my name and age
(Lets go)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LOSING MY RELIGION
By Bill Berry, Peter Buck, Mike Mills and Michael Stripe
Oh, life is bigger
It's bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no, I've said too much
I set it up
That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no, I've said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ARE YOU READY FOR LOVE?
By Thom Bell, Leroy Bell and James Casey#
Catch a star, if you can
Wish for something special
Let it be me, my love is free
Sing a song, to yourself
Think of someone listening
One melody, you're all for me
I'll write a symphony, just for you and me
If you let me love you, I'll paint a masterpiece
Just for you to see
If you let me love you, let me love you
Are you ready, are you ready for love?
Yes I am, are you,
Are you ready, are you ready for love?
Yes I am, are you,
Are you ready, are you ready for love?
You're the one, like the sun
Shine your love around me
You'll always be, the one for me
Say the word, and I'll be there
Loving you forever
Don't let me go
Just say it's so
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TROUBLE
By Alecia Moore and Tim Armstrong
No attorneys, to plead my case
No orbits, to send me into outer space
And my fingers, are bejeweled
With diamonds and gold
But that ain't gonna help me now
I'm trouble
Yeah trouble now
I'm trouble ya'll
I disturb my town
I'm trouble
Yeah trouble now
I'm trouble ya'll
I got trouble in my town
You think your right, but you were wrong
You tried to take me, but I knew all along
You can take me, for a ride
I'm not a fool out
So you better run and hide
I'm trouble
Yeah trouble now
I'm trouble ya'll
I got trouble in my town
I'm trouble
Yeah trouble now
I'm trouble ya'll
I got trouble in my town
If you see me coming
Down the street then
You know it's time to
Go (and you know it's time to go
cause here comes trouble)
No attorneys, to plead my case
No orbits, to send me into outer space
And my fingers, are bejeweled
With diamonds and gold
But that ain't gonna help me now
You think your right, but you were wrong
You tried to take me, but I knew all along
You can take me, for a ride
I'm not a fool out
So you better run and hide
I'm trouble
Yeah trouble now
I'm trouble ya'll
I disturb my town
I'm trouble
Yeah trouble now
I'm trouble ya'll
I got trouble in my town

BOOMBASTIC
By Marvin Gaye and Ed Townsend
Mr Boombastic
What you want is some boombastic, romantic, fantastic lover
Shaggy!
She call me Mr Boombastic, call me fantastic
Touch me on the back, she say I'm Mr Ro...ro...
Romantic, call me fantastic, touch me on the back
She say I'm Mr Ro...
Smooth just like a silk-a
Soft and cuddly hug me up like a quilt
I'm a lyrical lover no take me for no filth
With my sexual physique Jah know me well built
Oh me oh my well well can't you tell
I'm just like a turtle crawling out of my shell
Gal you captivate my body put me under a spell
With your coos-coos perfume I love your sweet smell
You're the only young girl who can ring my bell
And I can take rejection so you tell me go to hell
I'm Boombastic, call me fantastic
Touch me on the back, she say I'm Mr Ro...ro...
Romantic, call me fantastic, touch me on the back
She say I'm Mr Boom, boom, boom, boom,
Boombastic, call me fantastic,
Touch me on the back, she call me Mr Ro...ro...
Romantic, call me fantastic, she touch me on the back
She say I'm Mr Boom, boom
Gee wheeze, baby, please
Let me take you to an island of the sweet cool breeze
You don't feel like drive, well baby hand me the keys
And I'll take you to a place to set your mind at ease
Don't you tickle my foot bottom ha ha baby please
Don't you play with my nose cuz I might ha-choo sneeze
Well you a the bun and me a the cheese
And if me a the rice well I'll make ma lover the peas
I'm Boombastic, call me fantastic
Touch me on the back, she says I'm Mr Ro...ro...
Romantic, call me fantastic, touch me on the back
She say I'm Mr Boom, boom, boom,
Mmmm...bastic, call me fantastic
Touch me on the back, she say I'm Mr Ro...ro...

SHINY HAPPY PEOPLE
By Bill Berry, Peter Buck, Mike Mills and Michael Stripe
Shiny happy people laughing
Meet me in the crowd
People, people
Throw your love around
Love me, love me
Take it into town
Happy, happy
Put it in the ground
Where the flowers grow
Gold and silver shine
Shiny happy people holding hands
(Shiny happy people holding hands)
Shiny happy people laughing
Everyone around,
Love them, love them
Put it in your hands
Take it, take it
There's no time to cry
Happy, happy
Put it in your heart
Where tomorrow shines
Gold and silver shine

SIDEWALKS
By Adam Russel, Ryan Phillips, Dan Marsala, Joshua Wills, Philip Sneed and
John Feldman
The bridges are crumpled
The water soaks into rocks
That fell at the bottom of the road (At the end of the town)
The town that we lived in
The memories shakin apart
From the weeds that grow
Over the sidewalks
Running away from the streets we knew
Sidewalks
Like the time we thought was made for you
Or...
Out on the front porch
watching the cars as they go by
Eighteen blue, twenty one grey
Looking ahead for the first time that we could drive
Out on our own
To speed away
From the sidewalks
Running away from the streets we knew
Sidewalks
Like the time we thought was made for you
Or...
All of the days that passed us by,
And all of the sun is gone...
Away...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RUNAWAY TRAIN
By David Pirner
Call you up in the middle of the night
Like a firefly without a light
You were there like a blowtorch burning
I was a key that could use a little turning
So tired that I couldn't even sleep
So many secrets I couldn't keep
Promised myself I wouldn't weep
One more promise I couldn't keep
It seems no-one can help me now
I'm in too deep, there's no way out
This time I have really led myself astray
Runaway train never going back
Wrong way on a one way track
Seems like I should be getting to somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here nor there
Can you help me remember how to smile
Make it somehow all seem worthwhile
How on earth did I get so jaded
Life's mystery seems so faded
I can go where no one else can go
I know what no one else knows
Here I am just drownin' in the rain
With a ticket for a runaway train
Everything seems cut and dry
Day and night, earth and sky
Somehow I, just don't believe it
Runaway train never going back
Wrong way on a one way track
Seems like I should be getting to somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here nor there
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DON'T LET ME GET ME
By Alecia Moore and Dallas Austin
Never win first place, I don't support the team
Can't take direction, and my socks are never clean
Teachers dated me, my parents hated me
I was always in a fight cause I can't do nothin' right
Everyday I fight a war against a mirror
Can't take the person starin' back at me
I'm a hazard to myself
Don't let me get me
I'm my own worst enemy
Its bad when you annoy yourself
So irritating
Don't wanna be my friend no more
I wanna be somebody else
I wanna be somebody else, yeah
LA told me, "You'll be a pop star,
All you have to change, is everything you are."
Tired of being compared to damn Britney Spears
She's so pretty, that just ain't me
Doctor, doctor won't you please prescribe somethin'?
A day in the life of someone else?
I'm a hazard to myself
Don't let me get me
I'm my own worst enemy
It's bad when you annoy yourself
So irritating
Don't wanna be my friend no more
I wanna be somebody else
(Yeah)
Don't let me get me
(Don't let me get me)
I'm my own worst enemy
(Oh)
It's bad when you annoy yourself

BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S
By Todd Pipes
You'll say, we've got nothing in common
No common ground to start from
And we're falling apart
You'll say, the world has come between us
Our lives have come between us
Still I know you just don't care
And I said, "What about 'Breakfast at Tiffany's?'"
She said, "I think I remember the film,
And as I recall, I think, we both kind of liked it."
And I said, "Well that's, the one thing we've got."
I see you, the only one who knew me
And now your eyes see through me
I guess I was wrong
So what now? It's plain to see we're over
And I hate when things are over
When so much is left undone
And I said, "What about 'Breakfast at Tiffany's?'"
She said, "I think I remember the film,
And as I recall, I think, we both kind of liked it."
And I said, "Well that's, the one thing we've got."

ENJOY THE SILENCE
By Martin Gore
Words like violence
Break the silence
Come crashing in
Into my little world
Painful to me
Pierce right through me
Can't you understand
Oh my little girl
All I ever wanted
All I ever needed is here in my arms
Words are very unnecesarry
They can only do harm
[Instrumental]
Vows are spoken
To be broken
Feelings are intense
Words are trivial
Pleasures remain
So does the pain
Words are meaningless
And forgettable
All I ever wanted
All I ever needed is here in my arms
Words are very unnecesarry
They can only do harm
All I ever wanted
All I ever needed is here in my arms
Words are very unnecesarry
They can only do harm

DON'T LET ME BE MISUNDERSTOOD
By Bennie Benjamin, Sol Marcus and Gloria Caldwell
Baby, do you understand me now?
Sometimes I feel a little mad
But don't you know that no-one alive can always be an angel
When things go wrong, I seem to be bad
Cos' I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
If I seem edgy
I want you to know
That I never meant to take it out on you
Life has its problems
And I got my share
And that's one thing I never meant to do
'Cause I love you
Baby, don't you know I'm just human
And I've got thoughts like any other man
And sometimes I find myself, oh Lord, regretting
Some foolish thing, some foolish thing I've done
Oh I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Oh Lord, don't you let me be misunderstood
Don't let me be...
Don't let me be misunderstood
No no no no no no!

DRIVE
By Brandon Boyd, Michael Einziger, Alex Kautnich, Jose Pasillas II and
Christopher Kilmore
Sometimes, I feel the fear of uncertainty stinging clear
And I, I can't help but ask myself how much I'll
Let the fear, take the wheel and steer
It's driven me before, and it seems to have a faint
Haunting mass appeal
But lately I, am beginning to find that I
Should be the one behind the wheel
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
With open arms and open eyes, yeah
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
I'll be there....
So if I, decide to waiver my
Chance to be one of, the hive
Will I, choose water over wine
And hold my own and drive? Oooow!
It's driven me before, and it seems to be the way
That everyone else gets around
But lately I'm, beginning to find that
When I drive myself my light is found
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
With open arms and open eyes, yeah
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
I'll be there....

PREDICTABLE
By Benji Madden and Joel Madden
Something isn't right
I can feel it again, feel it again
This isn't the first time
That you left me waiting
Sad excuses, and false hopes high
I saw this coming, still I don't know why
I let you in
I knew it all along
You're so predictable
I knew something would go wrong
(Something's always wrong)
So you don't have to call
Or say anything at all
You're so predictable
(So predictable)
So take your empty words
Your broken promises
And all the time you stole
Cause I am done with this
I could give it away, give it away
I'm doing everything I should've
And now I'm making a change
I'm living today
I'm giving back what you gave me
I don't need anything
I knew it all along
You're so predictable
I knew something would go wrong
(Something's always wrong)
So you don't have to call
Or say anything at all
You're so predictable
(So predictable)
Everywhere I go, everyone I meet,
Every time I try to fall in love,
They all want to know why I'm so broken.
Why am I so cold? Why I'm so hard inside?
Why am I scared? What am I afraid of?
I don't even know, this story's never had an end.
I've been waiting, I've been searching,
I've been hoping, I've been dreaming you would come back,
But I know the ending of this story.
You're never coming back,
Never... Never... Never!

I DON'T WANT TO KNOW
By Maya Ford, Alison Robertson, Brett Anderson and Torrance Castellano
I know where you live, yeah
And I wanna live there too
I drive by almost every day
It's not even really on my way
When am I gonna get to see you
It won't be misunderstood
It won't do you any good
Think I'm not the one you could
When I know that you would
I don't wanna know
If you don't want me, no
I don't wanna know
If you don't want me, no
I have a shirt that belongs to you
And I use it to guess all the things you do
I've already met your Mom and Dad
Said I'm the best one you've never had
And I think you should really reconsider
It won't be misunderstood
It won't do you any good
Think I'm not the one you could
When I know that you would
I don't wanna know
If you don't want me, no
I don't wanna know
If you don't want me, no

MANSIZE ROOSTER
By Daniel Goffey, Gareth Coombes and Michael Quinn
Wait a minute now, you just can't run away
You got no money and you got no place to stay
Things are bad, but there's always another way
How would you know, if you never ever saw me?
Oh no! When I look at you I see
Why you looking so crazy?
Why you looking so lonely for love?
What do you wanna feel now?
Why you looking so crazy?
Why you looking so lonely for love?
What do you wanna see now?
Wait a minute, it's all wrong
Wait a minute, it's all gone wrong
Rooster!
Wait a minute now, you just can't hide away
You got no money and you got no face to save
You think it's bad, but there's always another way
How would you know if you never ever saw me?
Oh no! When I look at you I see
Why you looking so crazy?
Why you looking so lonely for love?
What do you wanna be now?
Why you looking so crazy?
Why you looking so lonely for love?
What do you wanna be now?
Oh yeah!
What do you wanna see, now?
Oh yeah!
What do you wanna be?
Oh yeah!
What do you wanna feel?
Oh yeah!

PUMPING ON YOUR STEREO
By Gareth Coombes, Michael Quinn, Daiel Goffey and Robert Coombes
Can you hear us pumping on your stereo? (x4)
Can you hear us pumping on your stereo? (x4)
Life is a cigarette, smoked to the end
But if you rocket the middle bit
Then you burn all your friends
The wider your eyes, the bigger the lies, yes it's true
Can you hear us pumping on your stereo?
Can you hear us pumping on your stereo?
Take a look through your window now
You're all alone on the road
Well you'll burn all your bridges down
And now you're losing control
So the wider your eyes, the bigger the lies, yes it's true
If you make a mistake where you couldn't relate to your groove
Yes it's true
Can you hear us pumping on your stereo? (x4)
Well now that I've met you
I love you as a friend
Yeah, but your love is magodon
Love is the end
The wider your eyes, the bigger the lies, yes it's true
If you make a mistake where you couldn't relate to your groove
Yes it's true
Can you hear us pumping on your stereo...

I JUST WANNA LIVE
By Benji Madden, Joel Madden and John Feldmann
I need an, alarm system in my house
So I know when people are, creeping about
These people are, freaking me out these days
It's getting hetic everywhere that I go
They won't leave me alone
There's things they all wanna know
I'm paranoid of all the people I meet
Why are they talking to me?
And why can't anyone see...
I just wanna live
Don't really care about the things that they say
Don't really care about what happens to me
I just wanna live (Just wanna live... [x6])
I rock a, law suit when I'm going to court
A white suit when I'm getting divorced
A black suit at the funeral home
And my birthday suit when I'm home alone
Talking on the phone, got an interview
With the Rolling Stone they're saying
"Now you're rich and, now you're famous,
Faking girls all know your name and,
(Lifestyles) of the Rich and Famous,
Your first hit aren't you ashamed?"
Of the life, of the life
Of the life we're livin'
I just wanna live
Don't really care about the things that they say
Don't really care about what happens to me
I just wanna live
Stop your messing around, boy
Better think of your future
Better make some good plans, boy
Said every one of my teachers
Look out! You'd better play it safe
You'll never know what hard times will come your way
We say, where you coming from, we've already
Seen the worst that this life can bring
Now we expect it everywhere that we go
All the things that they say
Yeah we already know
I just wanna live
Don't really care about the things that they say...

NA NA HEY HEY KISS HIM GOODBYE (Secret Track. Only available in Challenge Mode)
By Gary De Carlo, Dale Frashuer and Paul Leka
A new addition to Donkey Konga 2 is Dixie's Notes, a rather silly feature where
Dixie Kong appears after you've cleared a track, and offers you her advice. You
can view all the Dixie's notes that you've received in the Hall of Records, but
I've decided to list them all here. Why? For completion, basically. I want to
contain everything about DK2 in this guide, and sadly Dixie's Notes are part of
that. I've not yet received EVERY note, but I'm getting there, and I'll add the
others as I receive them.
Maybe I'm being a bit harsh. SOME of the notes are actually slightly useful,
and give you some good tips. Others are...well, you'll see for yourself...
(I've not yet received EVERY note, but I'm getting there, and I'll add the
others as I receive them.)
(3)
You've gotten all of the Gorilla arrangements! If you master all of them, you
might just become a better drummer than I am! And you know what? Now, you can
challenge the Full Set!
(5)
Congratulations! You've earned gold DKs on all of the solo Gorilla arrangemets.
Could it be? Is it possible? Could you really be...better than me!? Madness!
utter madness!
(8)
Congratulations! You've earned gold DKs on all of the solo Chimp arrangements!
I don't want to bring you down, but I honestly didn't think you had it in you!
(11)
Congratulations! You've earned gold DKs on all of the solo Monkey arrangements!
I suspect you're probably too good for those songs now.
(13)
If you've played the song so much you've memorised it, why not try Beat-Mix?
You can earn a ton of coins, but the beats change every time you play!
(14)
Hey, DK and Diddy! As of now, I'd like to announce my career change to
professional drummer. Give me a call if you ever need an extra pair of hands!
(15)
In Street Performance, you get 2 coind for each GREAT and 1 coin for each OK.
If the banana fairy casts some magic your way, you'll get 3 coins!
(16)
The bananas next to the song title indicate that song's difficulty. The more
bananas, the harder the tune. Start off with a song with fewer bananas.
(17)
The more people you have in your concert, the more fun it is. Your synching
skills WILL be evaluated, so let's have some teamwork, people! If you play solo
in a quartet, you can't synch.
(18)
Choose a badge that's right for you! The top 3 scores for each song get
recorded. You can tell who earned the score by checking out which badge that
player used.
(19)
Once you clear a song in Street Performance, a DK icon will appear next to the
song title. Why don't you try clearing them all on Monkey level first?
(20)
Pink barrel notes require you to hit both drums together, but you can alternate
between them on rolls. Try using both hands to drum out left and right rolls,
too. It's a lot easier!
(21)
The Freestyle Zone's kinda freaky if you ask me. Every time you hit a drum, a
picture pops up! And the pictures change every 50 hits. I get kinda hooked - I
just have to see what's next!
(22)
Each minigame in the Music Lab costs 50 coins for a single player, but only 100
coins for two, three or four players. Sounds like a pretty good deal to me.
(23)
To adjust the clap sensor sensitivity, you need to visit the Electric Hut. Move
the slider to the right so the Clap Sensor picks up only loud noises like
claps, and not just background sounds.
(24)
In the first half of a battle, a POW block appears. Hit it to make your
opponent's score drop. Hit it with Great timing to drop your opponents score
all the way to zero! That's intense!
(25)
The top three scores on each tune get saved. I want to make sure my badge
appears up there on the top scores for my favourite songs! You feel the same
way, right?
(26)
You know you can't quit in the middle and restart any of the games in the Music
Lab, right? So don't give up! Keep drumming all the way to the end. Those games
cost money, after all!
(27)
If you want a duet in Street Performance, but you don't have a partner, give me
a call. I'll show you how it's done! You'll only get coins for one player,
though, just so you know.
(28)
You know that last song in Challenge Mode? That's a good song to end on, isn't
it? Doesn't it make you feel like tomorrow will be a bright new day?
[Refers to the song Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye, which is always the last
song in the set in Challenge Mode.]
(29)
You have 10 badges you can use right from the start. Once you've finished up at
the Music Lab, try to Match That Badge to see if you can get all 30 badges. Of
course, the only badge that matters is mine!
(30)
So tell me, what do you like more: hearing the music, or hearing the sound of
your own drums? You know, you can adjust the music and sound-effect balance at
the Electric Hut!
(31)
In a Battle, you can tell who's in the lead by looking at the flames on the
beaver statues' torches. The torch that's burning brightest is in the lead!
(32)
Have you been using the "Return to" command to cancel the song or mode you've
selected? You know...it's easier just to hold down both drums on your bongos!
(33)
Share is another mode where everyone can play! If you only ever play by
yourself, your synchro rate will never go up! Get someone else to help out,
even if it's just on the handclaps!
(34)
You can choose all kinds of songs in the Freestyle Zone, but the best thing to
do is choose "Start Jamming!". Two is better than one, and four is better than
two, you know?
(35)
If you score really high in the Music Lab, then you can take a shot at Match
That Badge! this is the place to be if you want to collect badges!
(36)
Go to Bongos A-Go-Go to buy sound sets, or hit Jungle Jams to buy Gorilla
arrangements of each of the songs. They're both in the Shopping Mall!
(37)
If you clear a song with the Phonograph Gauge at 100%, then your DK award will
turn gold! And if you can do THAT, you'll be able to play the totally remixed
Beat-Mix!
(38)
The Banana Fairy appears once every 25 combos, but she'll go away after 10 more
combos. Try not to mess up your combo while she's around!
(39)
I'm sure you already know this, but the more points you earn in minigames, the
more shots you'll earn at Match That Badge.
(40)
So how many of these darned notes have I written, anyway? Well, I think I've
got about ten more in me, so I'll try and make 'em good!
(41)
You know, Quartet is also fun with just 3 or even 2 players! But nothing beats
playing it with 4 players! Let's all get some DK Bongos and play our hearts
out!
(42)
I went to play in the Freestyle Zone the other day. I got so hooked that I
didn't even notice that I'd played until the sun had gone down!
(43)
Let me give you a little tip about Challenge mode. Even if you put your rolls
off until later, you'll be fine as long as you don't miss any of them. If you
do, your gauge will go down!
(44)
The Rock, Paper, Scissors competition at the end of the battle goes just like
that: from rock to paper to scissors. But if you keep playing for too long you
might lose. Don't go bananas!
(45)
You want me to tell you the secret to Rhythm Keeper? Keep the rhythm, my
friend! Don't be like Diddy! He starts out slowly, but then he gets faster and
faster and starts missing the beats!
(46)
The Banana Fairy goes away all by herself after 10 combos. If you're really
stellar (like me), yo can keep her around for quite a while. Try for more than
150 combos with the fairy!
(47)
If everyone's together, your synchro rate can go through the roof! Even two
meatheads like Diddy and DK can synch up really well!
(48)
You want to prove you're a master at Rhythm Keeper? Here's a little pro tip:
try closing your eyes, like DK does! But don't just ignore the notes and smack
the bongo crazy, like he does...
(49)
Obviously, you can't say you're synched up if you're missing the notes. you've
gotta hit those bongos to get in synch. Understand?
(50)
That's all the advice I've got for you! From now on, you're on your own! I
figure you can do it, though! See you later!
(51)
Psych! Juuuuuuust kidding! I wouldn't just up and quit on ya! I've stll got all
sorts of tips lined up for you! We're not done yet!
(52)
If you choose Random, I'll go ahead and se;ect a song for you. I love when I
get to pick the songs! (Especially in Battles!)
(53)
You want to learn how to master Barrel Race? Here's the thing: just don't get
carried away when those notes start falling! If you keep hitting like mad,
you're gonna regret it!
(54)
If you can get those slots to line up in a battle, you're going to earn some
serious points, my friend! They tell me the highest score went out to the
strange team of Link, Tetra, and Ganondorf.
(55)
If you've got enough DK coins to buy Gorilla arrangements, then you should be
good enough to play them! Go on! Try it! You'll do fine!!!
(56)
You know, if you're not that good, you should play with anouther person and try
to up your synchro rate! Hello! I'm talking to you, DK and Diddy!
That's us, I'm afraid. Our journey through the magical world of Donkey Konga 2
is over. I hope you've found this guide useful, and I hope you've enjoyed
reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. Man, that sounded cliched.
------------
COMING SOON!
------------
Yeah, there's a few things I've still to do here. Coming in the next Version...
* The story from the title screen
* Information on the mini-games and Match That Badge for the Music Lab section
