'''Konga Beat''' is [[Donkey Kong (SSBB)|Donkey Kong]]'s [[Final Smash]], where he gets out his Bongos and plays them. This involves him creating shock waves to attack his opponents. The announcer says "Ready? Go!", then the "DK Island Swing" song plays, with DK clapping and playing the drums.

If a player doesn't press any buttons, the shock wave created just barely covers DK. However, the player can increase the power and range of the attack by timing their button presses to the beat of the music. When a player press the attack button to the beat, he claps or strikes the bongos, creating a forceful wave each time. The strong shock wave's diameter is a bit bigger than [[Final Destination (SSBB)|Final Destination]], while the weak shockwaves have a vacuum effect, making it harder for foes to escape your stronger, better timed waves.

During his Final Smash, DK is invincible. Unfortunately, DK is completely immobile for the duration of the Final Smash. If it is used at the wrong place and the wrong time, the other characters can easily dodge the whole attack just by staying far away. The DK player should make sure that the enemies cannot escape before using this attack.

==Timing==
As the attack begins, red circles will appear and shrink upon the bongos. These rings serve as a timing aid, if the player press the attack button when the ring lines up with the drums, he will get a large shock wave that can do 15% damage or so. Alternately, the player can hit the button just as DK raises his hands to strike the bongos. If the player do 4 successful beats in a row, Donkey Kong will clap, creating a shock wave that has more knockback.

The game rewards the player for good timing; if one hits every single beat, DK will have a fully charged [[Giant Punch]] ready after the end of the Final Smash.

Bongos were Donkey Kong's musical attack in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. They would play a more important role in the rhythm game ''[[Donkey Konga]]'' and were used as the controls for ''[[Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat]]'', in fact, the Bongos DK uses for Konga Beat are almost an exact replica of the Bongo Controller used for Donkey Konga.

*If one presses A to the perfect beat, it will create huge shockwaves that almost cannot be dodged on [[Castle Siege]]. If pressed closely off, they will shrink drastically though.

*This move is very handy in CD and sticker factories. All you need to do is rapidly hitting the A or B button. This creates (when the pit is full of Sandbags) a carpet of Stickers and possibly a few CDs.
