To promote the game, Nintendo of America sent 50 employees dressed in ape costumes to the 20th annual Los Angeles Marathon in 2005. Some of those runners wore Jungle Beat t-shirts, sweatbands, and carried DK Bongo controllers.

In the E3 2004 build of the game, instead of fighting Dread Kong, the player fought against an unnamed clone of Donkey Kong that had grey fur, no tie, and glowing red pupils.
