This is a moderate improvement to his previous placement in ''Smash 64'' where he was ranked 9th out of 12. Donkey Kong, true to being a heavyweight, is difficult to KO, and this is aided by his fast [[falling speed]]. Donkey Kong also has powerful attacks, and he has excellent range to boot. For a heavyweight, Donkey Kong is unusually agile; most of his attacks are executed swiftly, he has high [[air speed]], and his jumping prowess is solid. His mobility facilitates combos, and this is further aided by his remarkable [[grab]] range. However, Donkey Kong himself is vulnerable to combos due to his large size and high falling speed, and his recovery, while covering a significant amount of horizontal distance, fails to cover much height. | ||
