'''Rabbid Kong''' is a massive, ape-like [[Rabbid]] that appears as the end boss of [[Ancient Gardens]] in ''[[Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle]]''. As his name implies, he is heavily based on [[Donkey Kong]], right down to wearing his signature necktie.
'''Rabbid Kong''' is a massive, ape-like [[Rabbid]] that appears in ''[[Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle]]'' as the end boss of [[Ancient Gardens]], as well as the main antagonist of the [[Donkey Kong Adventure]] expansion. He also appears as a cameo in ''[[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]]''. As his name implies, he is heavily based on [[Donkey Kong]], right down to wearing his signature "DK" necktie. However, Rabbid Kong's posture and walk style are more realistic and more comparable to those of a real life {{wp|gorilla}} than Donkey Kong's more cartoonish movements.


Rabbid Kong is created by [[Spawny]], by fusing Donkey Kong with a Rabbid after [[Bowser Jr.]] convinces him to join him, and is subsequently fought by [[Mario]] and his friends<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRQsbhMLFq8 Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle: Fighting Rabbid Kong - E3 2017]</ref>.

[[File:MRKB Rabbid Kong Splash.png|thumb|left|Splash screen featuring Rabbid Kong]]
Rabbid Kong is created by [[Spawny]] after [[Bowser Jr.]] convinces him to join him, and is subsequently fought by [[Mario]] and his friends.


Rabbid Kong's only damaging move is creating a shock wave on the battlefield that deducts 10 [[Heart Point|HP]] from each heroic character, and the move also knocks them back unless they have full cover. To damage him, one of the characters must approach him, which will cause the pressure plate in front of him to drop his banana hoard and go ballistic as a result, making him an easier target - however, he will also hit the nearest character with a much stronger attack. When his HP is depleted, Rabbid Kong will move to another portion of the battlefield and replenish himself with a fresh banana hoard, repeating the process. He is defeated after the third phase.
Rabbid Kong's first move is to create a shock wave on the battlefield that deducts 10 [[Heart Point|HP]] from each heroic character, and the move also [[bounce]]s them back unless they have full cover. To damage him, one of the characters must approach him, which will cause the pressure plate in front of him to drop his banana hoard and go ballistic as a result, making him an easier target - however, he will also hit the nearest character with a much stronger attack. To avoid this, Luigi or Rabbid Peach can alternatively deploy a Sentry towards the pressure plate, allowing all three heroes to attack Rabbid Kong while simultaneously protecting them from his stronger attack. When his HP is depleted, Rabbid Kong will move to another portion of the battlefield and replenish himself with a fresh banana hoard, repeating the process. He is defeated after the third phase. Three [[Ziggy|Garden Ziggies]] support Rabbid Kong in the first phase, followed by two [[Hopper|Garden Hopper]]s in the second phase and one [[Smasher|Garden Smasher]] in the third phase. When a Rabbid character touches the pressure plate and drops all of the bananas, a cutscene involving Rabbid Kong shaking them, using them to scratch his bottom, and tossing them to the ground plays. When a ''Super Mario'' character touches it, he simply roars instead. Rabbid Kong's battle theme is an arrangement of the music heard in the stormy part of [[Jungle Japes]] in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', itself an arrangement of [[DK Island Swing]].


When defeated, Rabbid Kong attempts to make his last stand by standing atop a wobbly block tower; however, [[Rabbid Peach]] humorously knocks it over, causing Rabbid Kong to plummet down to his defeat, after being in a selfie with Rabbid Peach.
When defeated, Rabbid Kong angrily attempts to make his last stand by standing atop a wobbly block tower; however, [[Rabbid Peach]] humorously knocks it over (after Mario tells her not to touch it), causing Rabbid Kong to plummet down to his defeat, after being in a selfie with Rabbid Peach.
 
As shown in early prototypes of the game, Rabbid Kong was supposed to perform a {{wp|Dab (dance)|dab}} upon successfully landing a move, but this was removed by the final version of the game, and was instead given to [[Luigi]].<ref>"''In one of the prototypes seen earlier in development[… t]he DK rabbid apparently will dab periodically if it lands an attack correctly.''"—'''Robertson, Liam''' (May 29, 2017).

Rabbid Kong returns in the [[Donkey Kong Adventure]] DLC pack as the main antagonist. There, he gets revenge on [[Rabbid Peach]] by trampling her into the ground, but with that, he sets Donkey Kong and [[Rabbid Cranky]] against himself. He eventually is corrupted into his [[Mega Rabbid Kong|large alter ego]] thanks to the [[Bad Banana]]s, but reverts to normal once the Bad Bananas are turned back into regular [[Banana]]s, and makes amends with the group.

Rabbid Kong appears in ''[[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]]'' as part of the [[Spark (Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope)|Spark]] [[Gargantu-fan]]'s [[Kong Cameo]] ability. Rabbid Kong is shown during a cinematic that plays upon activating the ability, then sends waves that knock enemies back. A shrub shaped like Rabbid Kong is also seen at [[Peach's Castle]].
===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===
Rabbid Kong, although depicted in his Mega Rabbid Kong form, appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' as a Novice-class Attack-type primary [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]]. When used, the spirit increases a fighter's weight. In [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate#Adventure|World of Light]], the Rabbid Kong spirit is encountered west from the area with the mushroom platforms on the Light Realm map. In the corresponding spirit battle, the player faces a white-furred [[Donkey Kong]] wearing the [[Bunny Hood]] on the [[3D Land]] stage.
