==Early Iteration==
==Early build==
When this game was first shown during E3 2006, it was for the [[Nintendo GameCube]], and was under the working title of ''DK Bongo Blast''. As its name implied, the game could be played with the [[DK Bongos]] controller. However, due to the fact that the GameCube was becoming obsolete, it ended up getting ported to the [[Wii]].

''Donkey Kong Barrel Blast'' had an earlier iteration for the [[Nintendo GameCube]], titled ''DK Bongo Blast''. It was revealed at E3 2006, and had the [[Nintendo GameCube#DK Bongos|DK Bongos]] for controller input. The game was later ported to the [[Wii]]. The only known stage in ''DK Bongo Blast'' is an earlier variant of [[DK Jungle (Donkey Kong Barrel Blast)|DK Jungle]].


==Early Builds==
''DK Bongo Blast'' was later ported to the Wii and retitled ''Donkey Kong Barrel Blast'' (or ''Donkey Kong Jet Race'' in Europe). Some notable changes include: the DK Bongos graphic saying "Speed up!" was replaced with a [[Nunchuk|Wii Nunchuk]] icon. The HUD, which displays the [[Wild Move]] counter, timer and lap count, is entirely different. The [[Balloon (Donkey Kong Barrel Blast)|red balloon]]s originally had the "DK" initials on them, which was changed to question marks in ''Barrel Blast''. The character icons were originally placeholders of artwork from ''[[DK: King of Swing]]'' before receiving a unique design.
The game went through quite a bit of changes during its development phase, such as the DK Bongos graphic with the words "Speed up!", which got replaced by the [[Nunchuk|Wii Nunchuk]] in the final game. Also, the HUD (Wild Moves counter, time, laps, etc.) was vastly different. Another thing of notice is the fact that the item balloons have the letters "DK" on them (rather than the question mark like they do in the final), as well as the character icons, which are pieces of artwork from ''[[DK: King of Swing]]''. It is unknown how Wild Moves were executed in the GameCube version. In a later build of the game (after it was already ported to the Wii), the red blasting [[barrel]] has undergone a minor a change. In the pre-release it was red and white, but in the final, it was just red.
 
The earlier revisions of ''Donkey Kong Barrel Blast'' on the Wii are very similar to the retail release. The HUD only received slight changes, including the timer being repositioned from the top-center to the top-right, the left-side icons were slightly shifted, and a vertical line showing the distance from the starting line was removed. There is artwork of an unused [[:File:Green balloon DKBB art.jpg|green balloon]], which were presumably replaced by blue as it has an associated red balloon artwork.

Donkey Kong Barrel Blast had an earlier iteration for the Nintendo GameCube, titled DK Bongo Blast. It was revealed at E3 2006, and had the DK Bongos for controller input. The game was later ported to the Wii. The only known stage in DK Bongo Blast is an earlier variant of DK Jungle.

DK Bongo Blast was later ported to the Wii and retitled Donkey Kong Barrel Blast (or Donkey Kong Jet Race in Europe). Some notable changes include: the DK Bongos graphic saying "Speed up!" was replaced with a Wii Nunchuk icon. The HUD, which displays the Wild Move counter, timer and lap count, is entirely different. The red balloons originally had the "DK" initials on them, which was changed to question marks in Barrel Blast. The character icons were originally placeholders of artwork from DK: King of Swing before receiving a unique design.

The earlier revisions of Donkey Kong Barrel Blast on the Wii are very similar to the retail release. The HUD only received slight changes, including the timer being repositioned from the top-center to the top-right, the left-side icons were slightly shifted, and a vertical line showing the distance from the starting line was removed. There is artwork of an unused green balloon, which were presumably replaced by blue as it has an associated red balloon artwork.

Unused music[edit]

There are two unused music tracks found in the game's data. It is not known what they were supposed to be used for.[1][2]
