Do the monkey with the Donkey Kong Barrel Blast video

If you’re a fan of racing games and just aren’t getting the mileage you’re looking for lately, then you may want to look into Nintendo‘s upcoming racer that’s sure to drive you bananas. Donkey Kong Barrel Blast for the Nintendo Wii is definitely more fun than a barrel full of monkeys (pun intended) as you race through different courses using the well-loved characters from the Donkey Kong Country series.

What makes the game unique from other racers is the fact that use both the Wiimote and the Nunchuk in conjunction to control the DK Bongos, which basically functions as the vehicle in the game. Banging on the DK Bongos alternately is used to accelerate and steering involves beating on the left or right bongo.

After you get used to these controls, it plays pretty similar to a Mario Kart game. The same modes of play exist here in Donkey Kong Barrel Blast, as well as the cups and medal ranking system. However, you get the chance to customize your own cup race, as well as the number of races in it.

Once you’ve chosen your designated racer, you go through this crazy race course full of barrels, obstacles and items. True to the Donkey Kong Country theme, bananas still liter the world and serve as an important function. Bananas you collect power your character’s wild move which vary depending on who you chose. Examples of these powers include speed boosts and ways of bumping your opponents off the track.

While racing fans will definitely spot similarities to Mario Kart, Donkey Kong Barrel Blast provides a fun alternative for anyone who enjoys playing Nintendo’s unique style of gameplay. You can take a look for yourself at the entire video featured below. Expect the game to hit shelves this October 8.
