-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 spikes 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.

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]].
