Donkey Kong: Barrel Blast

Donkey Kong: Barrel Blast
System Wii
Developer Paon
Genre Racing
Series Donkey Kong Series

A racing game starring characters from the Donkey Kong Country series. Race laps around circuits, collecting Bananas and aiming to cross the finish line first.

Acceleration is controlled by shaking the Wii Remote and Nunchuk to power up each Barrel Jet. When they reach full power, the player can stop shaking and simply control steering by shaking either the Remote or Nunchuk slightly.

The characters loosely follow the course on their own, but steering is required to collect Bananas and obtain speed increases. The player can also jump by pulling back on the Remote and Nunchuk at the same time.
