Chunky acts as the game's comedic relief. This is first shown in the [[DK Rap]] opening, where he briefly wears a 1970s-era disco outfit, but then quickly changes into his regular outfit after realizing that the other Kongs are in their normal outfit. Another instance is in the Tag Barrel, where he acts the opposite of the other Kongs, who want to be selected: if the player highlights Chunky, he gets scared of being chosen by the player and points to Tiny. If the player highlights the next Kong, Chunky is shown expressing a sigh of relief. Additionally, after Chunky falls to the ground from high up (which makes him lose a Melon of his health), he gets up with a shrunk torso and limbs. Chunky proceeds to inflate those body parts back to normal size. | Chunky acts as the game's comedic relief.

The first move that Chunky learns is [[Hunky Chunky]], which makes him grow gigantic. The second move that he learns is [[Primate Punch]], which allows him to activate [[wall switch]]es depicting his face, and as an attack to defeat stronger enemies such as [[Robokremling]]s. The third and last move is [[Gorilla Gone]], which allows Chunky to become invisible (except his clothes), see invisible objects, and pass by searchlights undetected. Chunky is the strongest of the Kongs, and he has the unique ability to lift and throw [[boulder]]s. Contrarily, Chunky moves the slowest of the Kongs and also jumps the lowest of them, both of which are mentioned during his verse in the DK Rap. | ||
Chunky, along with the other four Kongs, can perform [[Simian Slam]] and its two stronger variants, the Super Simian Slam and the Super Duper Simian Slam. These moves allow him to hit [[Kong Switch|Chunky Switch]]es, and the latter two allow him to hit blue and red Chunky Switches respectively. Chunky and the other four Kongs can also perform the [[Super Slam]] after [[Tiny Kong]] learns the ability from her first visit with the [[Banana Fairy Princess]]. | Chunky, along with the other four Kongs, can perform [[Simian Slam]] and its two stronger variants, the Super Simian Slam and the Super Duper Simian Slam.

The level also has a [[Mine Cart Ride]] that Chunky must complete. During the [[King Kut Out]] battle, Chunky can be optionally selected from the Tag Barrel, along with the other Kongs. He is the third Kong to participate by default if the previous two Kongs (Lanky and Tiny) are blasted out the stage. | ||
During the final boss battle against [[King K. Rool]], Chunky is the fifth and final Kong to go against K. Rool. When the fifth round starts, K. Rool turns invisible and Chunky must stand on a [[Cranky's Kong Pad|Chunky Pad]] to activate his Gorilla Gone ability, which turn Chunky invisible but makes K. Rool visible. This also causes a [[Cranky's Kong Barrel|Chunky Barrel]] to float above the center of the stage. Chunky must jump inside it to activate his Hunky Chunky ability, so that he can perform a Primate Punch as K. Rool charges for him. Chunky eventually knocks out K. Rool and wins the boss fight. In the credits, Chunky is seen playing with Tiny Kong, but accidentally throws her up onto a cliff. | During the final boss battle against [[King K.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Chunky appears as a [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]], which reuses his artwork from ''Donkey Kong 64''. | |||

Chunky Kong | Chunky Kong appears in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'', cheering alongside [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]] during [[Mario]]'s battle with [[Donkey Kong]] at the [[Great Ring of Kong]]. He was first revealed to have an appearance in the movie through a poster where he appeared alongside [[Swanky Kong]], Dixie Kong, Diddy Kong, Cranky Kong, and other Kongs.<ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/smbmovie/assets/img/bg_modal_cast06.jpg Donkey Kong banner image on the official Japanese ''Super Mario Bros. Movie'' Nintendo website]</ref> He later appears in the final film alongside Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong.

Chunky has the typical ape attributes like the other Kongs, and he has a similar build to his younger brother [[Kiddy Kong]], having a big torso with large and long burly arms, showing his strength. By comparison, his legs and feet are quite small. Chunky's head is also fairly big, partly due to his large mouth that is even bigger than Kiddy's. Like Kiddy, Chunky has brown eyes, though his are a darker shade and are also unconnected with each other. His ears are also very small. Chunky is the biggest member of the Kong family, being taller than [[Candy Kong]], and is more than twice as heavy as [[Donkey Kong]], weighing 2000 pounds (907 kg) at his normal size, compared to Donkey Kong, who weighs 800 pounds (363 kg). Additionally, Chunky is described as being quite young, in spite of his huge size and deep voice. | Chunky has the typical ape attributes like the other Kongs, and he has a similar build to his younger brother [[Kiddy Kong]], having a big torso with large and long burly arms, showing his strength.
