 Additionally, Donkey Kong remains a part of the {{uv|Mario}} universe, appearing in many of the ''Mario'' spinoff games since ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario Kart 64}}''. Donkey Kong also appeared as a [[mariowiki:Baby Donkey Kong|baby]] in ''{{s|mariowiki|Yoshi's Island DS}}'', and as a major character in the [[mariowiki:Mario vs. Donkey Kong (series)|''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' series]].
-Donkey Kong's hallmark is his incredible strength; in most games, he is able to take out powerful enemies and carry heavy objects that other characters cannot. He is most consistently depicted as a laid-back, simple-minded character who only retaliates when slighted by others. While he varies between protagonist and antagonist depending on the game, his intentions are rarely portrayed as bad-natured. Even in his antagonistic roles, such as ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'', he is generally depicted as more of a friendly rival to Mario rather than a true nemesis.

-[[File:Donkey Kong SSB.png|thumb|Official artwork of Donkey Kong in ''Super Smash Bros.'']]Donkey Kong makes his first appearance in a fighting game as a starting playable character in the original ''Super Smash Bros.'' His appearance on his profile icon is based on his appearance from ''Donkey Kong Country'' and his model is based on his appearance from ''Donkey Kong 64''. DK is surprisingly fast for his size and is one of the strongest characters in the game. His [[neutral special move]] is [[Giant Punch]], which becomes stronger depending on how long the player lets DK charge it before using it. His [[up special]] is [[Spinning Kong]], which causes DK to spin around wildly with his arms striking anyone nearby. His [[down special move]] is [[Hand Slap]], which allows DK to pound the ground with his fists repeatedly creating a small earthquake. He is ranked 9th out of 12 on the current [[tier list]].

-Donkey Kong returns in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' as a starting playable character. His appearance is still based off his ''Donkey Kong Country'' appearance, ableit with a yellowish skin tone. He remains mostly the same from the original, but his new [[side special move]], [[Headbutt]], allows DK to embed his opponents into the ground giving him some free hits. Donkey Kong is known for his incredible strength -- he is capable of walking and jumping while carrying [[Crate]]s, [[Barrel]]s, and [[Party Ball]]s, items that normally decrease a character's walking speed and cause them to become unable to jump. He is also no longer the heaviest ''Super Smash Bros.'' character; newcomer {{SSBM|Bowser}} surpassed him. Donkey Kong is now ranked slightly higher, but is still low-mid tier, being ranked 17th out of 26 on the current [[tier list]] in E tier.
