Donkey Konga is a series of rythm video games part of the Donkey Kong series, developed by Namco and published by Nintendo for the GameCube, designed to play with the DK Bongos peripherial. This page lists all Donkey Konga songs that come from other series (the North American release of Donkey Konga 2 is not listed since it doeasn't feature any song from other series).
These all create a Type 2 link because Donkey Kong and other selectable characters are seen playing the songs on their bongos, meaning that these series are fictional within Donkey Kong's universe.

License[]
The Donkey Konga games were produced by Namco and published by Nintendo, so they could freely include music from their own series. Additionally they were able to include songs from other series obtaining the license from their respective owners, but apparently only for the Japanese releases of the games, since the American and European versions of the games don't feature any song from series other than Nintendo's.
