List of Donkey Kong profiles and statistics

This is a list of profiles and statistics for Donkey Kong.

Super Smash Bros.

 * Instruction Booklet Bio: "Mario's former enemy, this mighty ape is bestowed with tremendous power and overwhelming attacks."
 * Game Bio: Donkey Kong and Mario started out as arch-rivals, but they've patched things up in recent years. These days Donkey Kong spends his time searching the jungle for bananas instead of kidnapping beautiful maidens. In the past few years, other members of the Kong family have cashed in on DK's fame as well, including his favorite nephew, Diddy.

Super Smash Bros. Melee

 * Instruction Booklet bio: "An ape with overwhelming girth and power."

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

 * Website bio: "It’s Donkey Kong, ruler of the jungle. The original giant powerhouse makes a triumphant return! Looks like his giant punch is still the haymaker you remember. Don’t doubt his strength or you’ll end up with the ultimate headache!"
 * Instruction Booklet bio: "The large king of the jungle. He moves with surprising agility."

Snake's Codec

 * Snake: Otacon, there's a gorilla wearing a tie here. He's huge.
 * Otacon: That's Donkey Kong. As you can tell, he's got strength to spare. He may be king of the jungle, but he lives in a house just like you or me. And he seems pretty smart--well, for an ape, anyway. The Donkey Kong who fought that epic battle with Mario was this guy's grandfather.
 * Snake: That was a long time ago. What about this Donkey Kong? Does he get along with Mario?
 * Otacon: Nope, they're still at it. Seems like they're always competing in something--kart racing, sports, you name it.
 * Snake: A chip off the old block....

Palutena's Guidance

 * Pit: Looks like it's me versus DK.
 * Palutena: His arms are like tree trunks, so his attacks are incredibly powerful. Given his size, he also moves quite quickly. Combine that speed and power with his long reach, and you've got an opponent who's good at almost everything!
 * Pit: Yeah...except for dressing himself. That necktie really doesn't leave much to the imagination.
 * Palutena: True, but it is his signature look. It's probably best not to mention it.
 * Viridi: Yeah, you wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of one of his Giant Punches or smash attacks! When he attacks you, don't use your shield. Just get out of the way, and then counterattack.
 * Palutena: And watch where you come in for a landing!
