If a player does not 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, while the weak shockwaves have a vacuum effect, making it harder for foes to escape the player's stronger, better timed waves. | If a player does not press any buttons, the shock wave created just barely covers DK.

==Timing== | |||
As the attack begins, red circles will appear and shrink upon the bongos. These rings serve as a timing aid, if the player presses 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 does four successful beats in a row, [[Donkey Kong]] will clap, creating a shock wave that has more [[knockback]]. | As the attack begins, red circles will appear and shrink upon the bongos.

In ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', this has been replaced with an indicator bar that circular beat symbols pass through; pressing the button as the indicator passes the circle on the left side of the bar will strengthen the attack. The bar also keeps track of the number of correctly timed beats performed in a row and will display a message saying "Good", "Miss", or "Great" each time the player attempts to match the beat. | In ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', this has been replaced with an indicator bar that circular beat symbols pass through; pressing the button as the indicator passes the circle on the left side of the bar will strengthen the attack.

{{ | [[File:KongaBeatOrigin.jpg|thumb|200px|The bongos Donkey Kong uses as seen in the ''{{iw|mariowiki|Donkey Konga|series}}'' series.]] | ||
| | Bongos were Donkey Kong's musical attack in ''{{s|mariowiki|Donkey Kong 64}}'' for the [[Nintendo 64]]. They would later play a more important role in the [[GameCube]] rhythm game, ''{{s|mariowiki|Donkey Konga}}'', and its sequels, ''{{s|mariowiki|Donkey Konga 2}}'' and ''{{s|mariowiki|Donkey Konga 3}}'', and were used as the controls for ''{{s|mariowiki|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''. The final smash involves Donkey Kong hitting the bongos and clapping in between; and the player pressing the A Button within rhythm with accurate timing, which are a translation of the gameplay of ''Donkey Konga''. In ''Donkey Kong Jungle Beat'', Donkey Kong could make similar circular waves by clapping to stun the enemies. The name of this move is a portmanteau of ''Donkey '''Konga''''' and ''Donkey Kong Jungle '''Beat'''''. The new timing indicator in ''Super Smash Bros. 4'' is directly copied off the timing indicator used in the ''Donkey Konga'' games. | ||

*Konga Beat is the only move in | *Konga Beat is the only gameplay move in the entire ''Smash'' series that invokes the Announcer. | ||
**While the announcer says "Ready? Go!", there are two extra beats that the player can make. | |||
*If used during a stage-wide slow-time effect (such as those caused by [[Dialga]], Slow Brawl, or [[Training Mode]]), the shock waves created by a perfect beat can grow to enormous size because the timing can be even more accurate. A high level CPU will perform this perfectly, and the shock waves produced will be stretched, blurry, and semi-transparent. In the same way, a perfect beat is much more difficult to accomplish when time is sped up during a Fast Brawl. | *If used during a stage-wide slow-time effect (such as those caused by [[Dialga]], Slow Brawl, or [[Training Mode]]), the shock waves created by a perfect beat can grow to enormous size because the timing can be even more accurate.
