In the games, Donkey Kong, despite his carefree and lazy lifestyle, is a brave hero who highly cares for his friends and [[Banana Hoard]]. However, in spite of his laid-back demeanor, he will become enraged when his bananas are stolen or threatened in any way or when his friends are harmed. He is also sometimes depicted as somewhat dimwitted; in ''[[Fortune Street]]'', this is referenced by [[Toad]] remarking how Donkey Kong is the brawn and Diddy Kong is the brains. Despite this, his intelligence has been portrayed inconsistently: DK speaks fluent English much like the other [[Kong]]s (particularly during the ''Donkey Kong Country'' series), yet speaks in broken, third-person English for his few lines in ''Donkey Kong 64''.

In [[Solid Snake|Snake]]'s codec conversation on Donkey Kong in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Otacon claims that Donkey Kong seems "pretty smart" for an ape.


In the TV series, Donkey Kong's personality is largely the same, albeit depicting him as lazy instead of carefree. Between himself and Diddy Kong, Donkey Kong is shown to have much more common sense when it comes to morality, as shown in [[I Spy with My Hairy Eye]] where he was at first against using the [[Crystal Coconut]] to wish for more bananas until Diddy manipulated him into doing it. Donkey Kong also seems to get startled much easier and is more sensitive, with an aggressive disposition to King K. Rool, Kaptain Skurvy and their goons.
