Donkey Kong is a [[Kong]] resembling a gorilla who sports a burly physique; in addition to having particularly large pecs, biceps and triceps, he is noted to weigh 800 pounds (363 kg) according to the talking [[Microphone]] that serves as the announcer for the fight against King K. Rool in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', as well as having the traditional large feet of primates with opposable thumbs. Donkey Kong also has brown fur, with the fur on his head being distinctly shaped to the point of looking like a hairstyle. As of ''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze'', his fur has also consistently sported a realistic texture. The shade of brown his fur is colored, however, has been inconsistent between games, being either a lighter shade or its original darker shade. Donkey Kong wears only a single item of clothing: a red necktie with the "DK" logo printed on it in yellow from ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' onwards.

Within the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, Donkey Kong's appearance has changed. In ''Super Smash Bros.'', Donkey Kong was somewhat cartoonish in appearance, though his design did not originate from a specific ''Super Mario'' or ''Donkey Kong'' game. In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', Donkey Kong gains a darker color scheme, while his design appears to have more details; Donkey Kong is also shown with teeth, which are colored white. In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', Donkey Kong's fur is lighter in color, but it is further detailed. Donkey Kong's teeth are now yellowish in color. In ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U'', Donkey Kong's fur receives even more detail, akin to ''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze'', though he has a more vibrant color scheme. In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', Donkey Kong gains a more subdued color scheme, though not to the same extent as ''Melee'' or ''Brawl''; additionally, his fur is slightly less detailed, though his necktie has simple detailing.
