'''Donkey Kong''' ({{ja|ドンキーコング|Donkī Kongu}}, ''Donkey Kong'') is a character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. He was first shown very briefly at the [[E3]] 2007 press conference. Like most other characters in ''Brawl'', has been graphically updated to match his more recent appearances. His fur is more brightly colored, and he also appears furrier, especially around his head. Due to his heavyweight, the screen will shake slightly when Donkey Kong jumps and lands, like {{SSBB|Bowser}} and {{SSBB|King Dedede}}. His new voice actor is Takashi Nagasako, who also voiced {{SSBM|Ganondorf}} in ''Melee''. | |||
Donkey Kong is a | |||
Donkey Kong is currently ranked 21st on the [[tier list]] in the Mid tier. Donkey Kong possesses a combination of incredible power with many great finishers (especially in his [[smash attack]]s), and incredible [[reach]] in his attacks. Along with this power and reach combination, Donkey Kong possesses above average movement with remarkably good mobility for a character of his size, and many fast attacks (such as his [[back aerial]] and [[tilt]]s). Additionally, Donkey Kong possesses by far the greatest horizontal endurance with his great [[weight]] and [[Spinning Kong]] [[momentum cancelling#Horizontal momentum cancelling|momentum cancelling]], as well as one of the strongest vertical endurances, and a [[recovery]] that gains great horizontal distance while protecting Donkey Kong, making Donkey Kong one of the hardest characters to KO. Donkey Kong's incredible weight is a double-edge sword however; while it makes him incredibly difficult to KO, it also makes him incredibly easy to [[combo]], [[juggle]], and [[chain throw]], including making him vulnerable to [[infinite]] and zero to death chain throws (most notoriously from {{SSBB|King Dedede}}). Additional problems of Donkey Kong include most of his attacks having heavy ending [[lag]] (making it easy to [[punish]] most of his attacks if he misses), being very vulnerable to [[meteor smash]] gimps due to his recovery gaining much less vertical distance, his [[shield]] being too small for a character of his size leaving him heavily vulnerable to [[shield stabbing]], and lacking a [[projectile]], which when combined with his very large size and aforementioned shield issues, gives Donkey Kong severe issues dealing with [[camp]]ing. While his [[roll]]s and [[air dodge]] are about average, his [[sidestep]] is the second slowest, after {{SSBB|Bowser}}. Overall, Donkey Kong has decidedly poor [[matchup]]s while being [[counter (matchup)|countered]] by the majority of top and high tier (and is also hard countered by two), and has achieved average [[tournament]] results. | |||
==Attributes== | |||
Donkey Kong is a very [[Weight#SSBB_Weight_Ranking|heavy]] character with very powerful attacks, great attack range, and high [[knockback]] capabilities. Despite these pros, Donkey Kong lacks projectiles and a reliable way to deal with them, which makes his moveset and style of approach unvaried. He is one of the fastest heavyweight characters; his movement speed is above average: fast running, fast walking, fast air speed, and very high initial [[jump]]. Donkey Kong's weight helps him stay alive longer, though he is a big target and has very poor vertical recovery, but extremely long horizontal recovery. He can even use Spinning Kong to cancel knockback from an attack that would even KO {{SSBB|Bowser}}, {{SSBB|Snake}}, or {{SSBB|King Dedede}}. Despite his extremely long horizontal recovery, it is vulnerable to disjointed attacks and has poor vertical height which means even weak meteor smashes can be devastating, though it's hard to edge guard without a disjointed attack due its initial invincibility frames. Combining his impressive weight and good horizontal recovery with good [[directional influence]], he will be extremely hard to KO. | |||
Although he can take a lot of damage before being [[KO]]ed, he gets hit very easily due to his large size. His large size and heavy weight also leaves him open to many chain grabs (e.g. {{SSBB|King Dedede}}'s infinite chain grab without a wall, which is truly problematic at such a high level), except Bowser's ground releases. Though given his attack range and speed, it can be difficult for characters with short-ranged grabs like the {{SSBB|Ice Climbers}} to grab him to begin with. His Headbutt attack allows him to get a free attack on the opponent, as many of his follow-up attacks have low startup time, and it also does very high damage to shields. His fully charged Giant Punch also heavily damages shields, and the [[launch resistance]] it grants may allow him to trade KO moves with an opponent and survive. Even his grounded [[Spinning Kong]] does high damage to opponents or shields. Having three high shield damage attacks he can give high shield pressure. Donkey Kong has no problems KOing: all his smashes are powerful, with his [[up smash|up]] & [[down smash]]es coming out very fast; [[up aerial]] can compensate for a missed [[edge-guard]], three reliable [[meteor smash]]es, [[back aerial]] & [[back throw|throw]], Giant Punch (10 charges is actually more powerful than fully charged, but doesn't have launch resistance) and the cargo [[stage spike]]. | |||
He can counter any ground grab releases because of his unique extremely short grab release animation, making him escape from release lag 10 frames earlier than any other character does and being immune to Bowser's grab release game with the addition of only Snake and Yoshi being able to force him to jump break from grabs. Donkey Kong is unique to be able to carry [[crate]]s, [[barrel]]s and [[Bonsly]] without a reduction in speed, but small items have unusual long end animation (though he has one of the best [[Glide Toss]]es in the game). DK also has a large grab range with powerful throws, and he is even able to chain-grab some characters, DK can infinite-Cargo release Lucas and Ness, he can KO characters in low damage percentages when using the Cargo stage-spike. Donkey Kong can also perform [[Sacrificial KO|Kongocide]], although it's not the most useful of the sacrificial KOs. Although Donkey Kong has his share of problems, he fares decently against the majority of the cast, and there are very few problems he can't overcome. | |||
In terms of cosmetics, Donkey Kong has more realistic gorilla roars (similar to other characters having more realistic noises). His costume is lighter and very different from ''Melee'' (making him comparable to his appearance in ''{{s|dkwiki|Donkey Kong Jungle Beat}}'' with his furrier appearance). He now has a new white costume with a red tie, and his black costume now has a yellow tie instead of a blue tie. | |||

A Leg sticker isn't because it would only affect his back aerial, dash attack and down aerial. Head stickers would only affect his up aerial and Headbutt. Spin stickers only affects his neutral aerial and Spinning Kong so they provide minimal benefit for him. | ||

::''A carefree jungle dweller with the charisma of a natural leader. He keeps busy by foiling the plans of the Kremlings and their boss, King K. Rool. As his physique suggests, this ape is a powerhouse. He's got speed to match too, and his love for bananas is second to none. His famous necktie is adorned with his initials, DK.'' | |||

:'''Konga Beat''' | |||
::''DK about to go to town with some bongos! His performance is so magnificent and upbeat that it creates damage-inducing sound waves. Press the buttons in time to the music, and the sound waves may grow stronger. DK's invulnerable when launching this attack, but he's also immobile, so be careful using it on scrolling stages.'' | |||

*Even though Donkey Kong has teeth, he only shows them when performing certain attacks or taunts. He occasionally opens his mouth with no teeth showing. For example, | *Even though Donkey Kong has teeth, he only shows them when performing certain attacks or taunts. He occasionally opens his mouth with no teeth showing. For example, DK shows his teeth when charging his up smash, but not during the attack portion. | ||
* | *When DK is tiny, he actually moves faster while carrying a [[Crate]] or [[Blast Box]]. | ||
*When forward smashing with the [[Home-Run Bat]], | *DK is the only character in ''Brawl'' who has more than four different throws. | ||
* | *When forward smashing with the [[Home-Run Bat]], DK has the longest range with the bat out of all the characters. However, if he is too close to the [[Sandbag]] or a character, he/she will be propelled upwards at a slight angle with drastically weaker knockback (though still powerful). This happened to him in ''Melee''. | ||
* | *DK is one of only three characters that can't use their down special move in midair, the others are {{SSBB|Peach}} and {{SSBB|Pokémon Trainer}}, although he is capable of using Hand Slap in the air in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. | ||
*DK is one of the few known characters to have an obvious error in his moveset coding - his forward aerial cannot be [[auto-cancel]]ed, but the coding of the move shows that it was intended to be able to, but it cannot due to a minor error caused by using the wrong type of timing function. | |||
