Although the menus in Donkey Konga 2: Hit Song Parade are rather simple to figure out on your own, I have seen requests for an import guide. Here is an outline of the menus in full. Since all of the menus are circular, the best way to identify the options is by color. Not everything is a direct translation, but the titles should be clear enough to understand.

UPDATED with song titles: I still haven't gotten artist names on the J-Pop or specifics on the classical tunes, but if you have further details please send me an e-mail.

If you have any questions or comments, please e-mail them to daniel@planetgamecube.com. For more info on the game please see our review.
