Using same reasoning as in Giant Kirby and for plain consistency, plus pering the above discussion, I make this suggestion to merge these two articles.

im sorry it's just i get confused because people on this wiki are constantly using different logic on proposals than using the total opposite of that in a different proposal that has the same sort of flow {{User|Iggykoopa}}

== Should this be restored? ==
With [[Jigglypuff]]'s route in SSBU being a callback to the original SSB and having Giant Donkey Kong as the final boss (thus making it a deliberate recurring entity) I was wondering if this page should be restored. Especially considering a "giant Donkey Kong" was the final boss of the Game Boy ''Donkey Kong'', and "[[Donkey Kong Plus|Donkey Kong in a robot]]" from the sequel getting its own page (this would also match up with how we handle [[Super Bowser]]).

::And even then, Giant Donkey Kong in the original ''Super Smash Bros.'' was distinct, because there were no items that allowed playable fighters to grow bigger or shrink smaller. The one in ''Ultimate'' is literally just Donkey Kong with a permanent Super Mushroom (which is a pretty neat callback like the rest of Jigglypuff's Classic Mode). Even the game acknowledges this, only showing Donkey Kong on the VS screen before the fight, without the "Giant" moniker at the start. &ndash; [[User:Owencrazyboy9|Owencrazyboy9]] ([[User talk:Owencrazyboy9|talk]]) 11:06, April 11, 2019 (EDT)

:::::I'd be in favor only if we include the Game Boy ''Donkey Kong'' final boss, as bigness is relative; otherwise, Giant Donkey Kong is effectively just Donkey Kong under the effect of a Super Mushroom, much like Giant Bowser and others.

== Recreate this page ==
{{SettledTPP}}
{{ProposalOutcome|passed|4-1|create}}
When this article was deleted, it was solely about the ''Smash'' 64 fight. Thing is, a giant DK is also the final boss of the Game Boy ''Donkey Kong'', and he additionally appeared in other ''Smash Bros.'' games. I feel there's enough information, mainline and otherwise, for this to be an article.
'''Proposer''': {{User|Doc von Schmeltwick}}<br>
'''Deadline''': April 25, 2022, 23:59 GMT
===Support===
#{{User|Doc von Schmeltwick}} - Per
#{{User|LinkTheLefty}} - Agreed. <small>Side note, let's do Mega Baby Bowser and Big Dry Bowser next, those ones have been bugging me for a while.</small>
#{{User|FanOfYoshi}} Per all.
#{{User|ShootingStar7X}} Per all.
===Oppose===
#{{User|Hewer}} This would be inconsistent with all the other powered-up Smash Bros. characters as bosses that we don't split, like Giant Kirby for example. I'd be fine with it if it only covered the non-Smash appearances, but otherwise I'll oppose.
===Comments===
@Hewer: I see it as with [[Talk:Super Mario Maker#Proposal: what to do about all those sub-enemies?|this]] proposal - we have an existing equivalent in the series that can use its own article, so why not?

:I see it more like [[Talk:White Shy Guy#Remove non-Yoshi's Story information|this proposal]] or [[Talk:Red Boo#Merge to Boo|this proposal]], where some but not all information is split-worthy so we only split the information that needs it. {{User:Hewer/sig}} 12:55, April 11, 2022 (EDT)
