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 {{SSBB|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 {{SSBB|Final Destination}}, while the weak shockwaves have a vacuum effect, making it harder for foes to escape the player's stronger, better timed waves.

==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 4 successful beats in a row, [[Donkey Kong]] will clap, creating a shock wave that has more [[knockback]].

==Origin==

Bongos were Donkey Kong's musical attack in ''{{s|dkwiki|Donkey Kong 64}}'' for the [[Nintendo 64]]. They would later play a more important role in the [[GameCube]] rhythm game, ''{{s|dkwiki|Donkey Konga}}'', and its sequels, ''{{s|dkwiki|Donkey Konga 2}}'' and ''{{s|dkwiki|Donkey Konga 3}}'', and were used as the controls for ''{{s|dkwiki|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.

:''DK about to go to town with some bongos! His performance is so magnificent and upbeat that it creates damage-inducing sound waves. Press the buttons in time to the music, and the sound waves may grow stronger. DK's invulnerable when launching this attack, but he's also immobile, so be careful using it on scrolling stages.''

*There are three beats that occur even before the announcer says "Ready? Go!".

*In ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', hitting all the notes perfectly will have DK give a thumbs-up at the end of the move instead of his usual bicep-flexing gesture.

*Konga Beat is the only gameplay move in the entire ''Smash'' series that invokes the [[Announcer]].

**In early versions of ''Smash 4'', the "Ready? Go!" soundbite was taken from ''Brawl'' and featured Pat Cashman's voice instead of Xander Mobus's. As a result, Pat Cashman appears in the game's [[credits]].
