Donkey Kong: King of Swing, known in Japan as Burabura Donkey (ぶらぶらドンキー Burabura Donkī), is a video game developed by Paonand published by Nintendo. It was released in Japan on May 19, 2005 and in North America on September 19, 2005. In the game, players swing around on pegs, in a way similar to Clu Clu Land. Scattered throughout levels, in addition to Peg Boards and Bananas, are Crystal Coconuts, Medals, Enemies, and Bonus Barrels.
In advance of the Jungle Jam Tournament, King K. Rool steals the competition’s prize medals, and proclaims himself the jungle hero. In the game players control either Donkey Kong or Diddy Kong, and track down King K. Rool and the stolen medals. Diddy is only playable after all 24 medals are reclaimed. The game contains twenty regular levels and five boss levels, forming five worlds in total which the player must traverse. In Jungle Jam mode, players can play alone, against CPUs, or with three friends. There are five modes of play, including races, deathmatch, and a competition to break the most barrels. The eight playable characters include Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Dixie Kong, Funky Kong, Wrinkly Kong, Kremling, King K. Rool, and Bubbles from Clu Clu Land
