Reach Bongo at the top to see the final cutscene. Once you reach land, the rhinos return to charge you down. Cross the water by jumping on hippos again, along with lily pads. You will need to go into mole holes to avoid them but if you stay too long then moles will fill them in. Hippos dive in and out of the water so you need to time your jumps to get across them. It adds scorpions for the character to avoid. Snakes will move at the player to slow them down and throw them off the cliff. Bongo throws rolling coconuts down at the player, similar to the barrels in Donkey Kong. This explorer man needs to avoid all the obstacles and work his way through the maze-like path to reach the top of the screen in order to beat the level.Ĭongo Bongo (left) vs. The main character has a big red nose and is in explorers gear. An ape, named Bongo, throws things down on the player from the top of the screen. The gameplay of Congo Bongo is where you can see they drew quite a bit of inspiration from Donkey Kong.

In Logger, you must remove all the wood to beat the level.Ĭongo Bongo was made by Sega and released to arcades in 1983.
The DK Bongos became an icon in their own right as they appeared in two more Konga games, Donkey Kong Jungle Beat, and were supposed to be part of a canned racing game called DK Bongo Blast. The Bongos took the place of your standard GameCube controller as you bopped your way through songs including the Super Mario theme, "We Will Rock You", and even "Lady Marmalade". Super Louis 64 has promised to continue his Demon's Souls bongo bonanza over on Twitch, where you can watch him advance through the rest of the remake.įor those who need a refresher, the DK Bongos was first introduced alongside Donkey Konga on the GameCube in 2003. It was no problem losing camera controls for the Vanguard Demon, but the Tower Knight was a little trickier as the boss battle locked onto his feet for the entirety of the duel. Each pair of bongos has five inputs, meaning he's had to sacrifice 10 when playing Demon's Souls. Super Louis 64 has (sort of) managed to dodge this. It's all easy with a snazzy PS5 DualSense controller, but a bit harder when you have a piece of hardware that's 17 years old. The biggest problem here is replicating the 20 unique button inputs that Demon's Souls use. Posting on YouTube, Super Louis 64 showed off his Demon's Souls/ Donkey Konga journey as he conquered the Vanguard Demon and Tower Knight using two pairs of DK Bongos.
