This article has a talk page!

This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion.
Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?

Little monkey goes to the big city to bang his bongo drum, but nobody likes his dirty sound so Donkey Konga 3 doesn't come out overseas.

TGS Leftovers#

These are leftovers from the 2004 Tokyo Game Show demo of the game. It can be distinguished by the "_tgs" label following in the file.

News Bulletins#

An earlier version of Funky News can be found in the file MemoData_tgs.res. Unlike its Donkey Konga 2 counterpart, this one is decidedly less interesting, as every single message is the same:

Japanese

Translation

プレイしてくれてサンキュ~
ドンキーコンガ3は
3月発売するYO!
完成するまで
もうチョット待っててくれよナ!
Thank you for playing~
Donkey Konga 3 will be out
this March, yo!
Just hang in there a little longer
'til it's ready!

It could be possible that it is used for a demo ending screen.

Song Data#

A tentative song list can be found in SongData_tgs.res. Compared to the final list, it has six fewer song entries and many, many value tweaks.

  • Many songs use the Star Fox theme (34Fox) as a placeholder file.
  • In addition to the six missing slots, several others are blank and have a placeholder title such as "?????". These are:
    • Happy Days
    • Locolotion
    • TOMORROW
    • Seishun Kyousou Kyoku
    • GO!!!
    • Ashita ni Nattara...
    • Banana Tengoku
    • Doremifa Daijoubu
    • Yodel Tabehoudai
    • Kochira ★ Mona Pizza
  • Some of these blank slots have "みてい" ("pending") in their ruby field.
  • Prices are generally far lower than in the final game, likely for testing purposes.
  • Some song titles were edited to add formatting whitespace.
