Donkey Konga

Donkey Konga was Donkey Kong practicing the bongos.

History
Donkey and Diddy Kong happened to come across a pair of bongos. Confused about what they are, they talk to Cranky Kong, who explains that they're bongos. Donkey has the idea that they'll become famous and rich by playing with these bongos, which they could then spend on bananas. He and Diddy are excited at the idea, and Cranky only advises that the two must practice.

Thus, the two practice by playing a variety of music.

Timeline

 * Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong don’t know what Bongos are at the beginning of this game, but they play them in Donkey Kong 64. This places this game before the events of Donkey Kong 64.
 * Diddy initially believes that the bongos could be a Kremling trap, meaning the Kremlings were still active villains during this period.
 * Banana Birds appear, meaning this game takes place after Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!
