The other Kingdoms are unlocked after the previous one has been completed, as opposed to gathering a certain number of crests. Collecting all of the crests in one barrel results in the player unlocking the fourth kingdom in that barrel. The player can earn up to three crests from each kingdom 200 beats earns the player one crest, 500 two, and 1000 and above three. The crest system has also been revised there are no longer different crests, but a number of crests the player can still obtain by earning a certain number of bananas. If the player loses all of their hearts, they lose a life rather than automatically getting a game over because of this, checkpoints have been implemented into the levels. These can be found through various circumstances and by collecting specific numbers of beats (200, 500, 1000, 1500, etc.). In standard levels, the player is given three hearts as health, as well as a life counter, which can be increased by collecting 1-up tokens. Rather than use beats as health throughout the kingdom, beats only serve as health in boss battles.

Punching enemies is accomplished by shaking the Wii Remote and Nunchuck repeatedly. In addition, while the Clap Grab is still available, the player can no longer Clap Grab while in the air or underwater. Unlike the original game, Donkey Kong's Sound Wave Attacks are directional rather than based on a radius. Donkey Kong is controlled with the analog stick of the Nunchuk, and to clap the player must flick the Wii Remote. New Play Control! Donkey Kong Jungle Beat is played using the Wii Remote and Nunchuk.
