Do a song that has many rolls (for example, We Will Rock You or the Pokemon Theme) Those songs have lots easy rolls, and on only Monkey Mode you can at least rack 300.
Gorilla Songs
To get Gorilla Songs just go into Ape Town and purchase them from the Jungle Jam menu. They all cost different prices.
Keeping Your Hands Free
If you have the Donkey Konga bongos then set the clap sensor sensivity to its highest so that any loud noise will make a clap. This will allow you to make any loud noise to clap and leave your hands free for playing the Bongos. Just dont turn up the music volume to much!
More points on Clap Drum Rolls
To get more points on a clapping drum roll, just whistle through it. I pretty sure Kong can't clap faster then that.
Title Screen
On the title screen, you can make the "Press Start" text move by clapping. The "P" in "Press" picks up the more quiet clapping sounds as the "t" in "Start" picks up louder clapping sounds. The Letters in between pick up average rate claps. It acts like a volume graph on a stereo or PC Media player.
Wrong Bongo
Watch Donkey Kong drumming while you drum. Notice that he drums the right bongo for the yellow marker and the left bongo for the red marker.
