Music Pad
Artwork of the Music Pad in Donkey Kong 64.
A Music Pad for DK's bongos.
Appears in Donkey Kong 64 (1999)
Effect Causes an event to occur if the correct instrument is used on its corresponding Music Pad.

Music Pads are purple pads in Donkey Kong 64 that depict one of the Kongs' instrument. Each Music Pad is only usable by the Kong whose instrument is depicted on the Music Pad. Performing on a Music Pad always triggers a certain event, such as revealing a Golden Banana or opening up a passageway. The Kongs do not use musical energy while on a Music Pad. However, a glitch exists where if the Kong is standing on the silver border of the Music Pad when they play their instrument, the event that should happen does not trigger. Music Pads first appear in Angry Aztec and reappear in all later levels.

The following Kongs can use the following instruments to perform the following moves:
