This page details one or more prototype versions of New Play Control! Donkey Kong Jungle Beat.

To do: Move to mainspace unless there is evidence its a proto

This prototype is documented on Hidden Palace.

On late August 2025, a post-release Japanese Kiosk Demo for ドンキーコングジャングルビート was recovered from slack data from a WIS-009 kiosk unit hard drive dump¹. The hard drive was dumped by Zel (aka Luckless Heaven), while Rairii extracted the demo build from it.
In said hard drive dump, the build's ISO starts at 0xD55725E00. The partitions were fully intact so Rairii uploaded it this way.
Its title ID is D49J01 (for reference, the title ID for the retail Japanese version is R49J01). As with other kiosk demos, the game image is devsigned, so it needs to be recrypted in order to work on retail hardware.
