|-

!Mode

Despite having the same function, each sound set is at a different price. Every sound set has three sound effects based on its title, and they each correspond with clapping and the left and right bongos.

|-

!Item

Each song has a purchasable Gorilla Arrangement, which is peforming the song on expert difficulty. Like with Bongos-A-Go-Go, each item is individually priced even though the general purpose is the same.

The song selection menu of the European and Japanese versions are sorted by genre. The North American version does not do this, and each of its banners are in either shade of green. However, the song list in the North American manual utilizes this categorization.<ref>[[Media:DKa2 Manual Song List.png|''Donkey Konga 2'' manual, pages 16-17]]</ref>

In the Freestyle Zone, the number of hits is mentioned twice in the European version: the "Hit Count" (above) and the word "hit(s)" (on the right side).

*''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' - The score dashboard of Battle mode has a banner based on the temple levels, with a [[Gnawty]] holding a torch.

*''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' - In both the ''Donkey Kong Country'' and ''Donkey Konga'' franchises, Dixie appears in the second installment but does not appear in the first game. In Freestyle Zone, most of the character artwork that displays on-screen originates from this game, which includes the Kongs, [[Animal Friend]]s, and enemies.

*''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' - [[Banana Fairy|Banana Fairies]] reappear in the Street Performance mode, and a [[Banana Camera Film]] is the scoreboard banner in Street Performance and Challenge. In Freestyle Zone, a sound effect of either one of the five [[Kong]]s winning a [[Bonus Barrel]] mini-game plays after hitting a certain number of beats.

*''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' - The track "[[smashwiki:Music (SSBM)#Jungle Japes|Super Donkey Kong Theme]]" in the Japanese release and the tracks "[[smashwiki:Music (SSBM)#Green Greens|Green Greens]]", "[[smashwiki:Music (SSBM)#Mute City|Mute City Theme]]", "[[smashwiki:Music (SSBM)#Pokémon Stadium|Pokémon Main Theme]]", and "[[smashwiki:Music (SSBM)#Super Mario Bros. 3|Super Mario Bros. 3 Theme]]" in the European release are from this game.

''Donkey Konga 2'' received mixed to positive reviews from gaming outlets. Critics generally praised the responsive and intuitive mechanics and the multiplayer modes, but criticized the odd western track lists, the poor quality of many of the cover songs and the general lack of addition to the formula.
