Strong Kong

Strong Kong (Strongum Kongus) is one of Donkey Kong's special abilities in Donkey Kong 64. He can learn the ability at Cranky's Lab in Angry Aztec for five Banana Bunch Coins. After purchasing the move, Donkey Kong can transform into Strong Kong by jumping into a Donkey Barrel.

When Donkey Kong is in Strong Kong form, he gets covered in flashing and sparkling lights (similar Mario as Invincible Mario after he has gained a Super Star). Donkey Kong is completely immune to damage while Strong Kong is active, and is able to walk across surfaces such as quicksand and lava. The move is powered by Crystal Coconuts, which if Donkey Kong runs out of them, he is forcefully reverted to his normal form. Donkey Kong also loses the power if he uses a Bananaport Pad. The player can revert Donkey Kong to normal at will by simultaneously pressing and.

In the Crystal Caves lobby, Donkey Kong must use Strong Kong to obtain a Golden Banana floating above the lava.
