In ''Donkey Kong 64'', Lanky is one of the four Kongs imprisoned by the [[Kremling Krew]], the other three being [[Diddy Kong]], [[Tiny Kong]], and [[Chunky Kong]]. Lanky is imprisoned in [[Angry Aztec]] in [[Llama]]'s Temple. To free Lanky, [[Donkey Kong]] must swim below the temple's main floor and use his [[Coconut Shooter]] on a [[Target Switch|Coconut Switch]] next to Lanky's cage. After this, Lanky is unlocked as a playable character and can be selected from the [[Tag Barrel]]s. Lanky's corresponding color is blue, meaning he is the only Kong who can collect [[Blue Banana|banana]]s, [[Banana Coin]]s and [[blueprint]]s of that color.

Being an orangutan, Lanky is capable of stretching his arms afar, which he can even use to defeat weak enemies (such as [[Gnawty]] and [[Kritter]]) with. From [[Cranky's Lab]], Lanky's first individual ability is [[Baboon Balloon]], the second is [[OrangStand]], and the third one is [[OrangStand Sprint]]. Every Kong, including Lanky, are capable of using [[Simian Slam]] and its stronger variants. From [[Funky's Store]], Lanky can acquire the [[Grape Shooter]] for his personal weapon, allowing him to shoot grapes at enemies and targets. At [[Candy's Music Shop]], Lanky can learn to perform the [[Trombone Tremor]] ability from his personal trombone. Lanky Kong is the only Kong who can transform into [[Enguarde]], whose [[animal crate]] is featured in [[Gloomy Galleon]], similarly to how only [[Donkey Kong]] can transform into [[Rambi]].

In Gloomy Galleon, Lanky is the Kong selected to fight the level boss, [[Puftoss]]. In [[Creepy Castle]], Lanky is also selected to enter through the door to battle the level's boss, [[King Kut Out]]. While it is possible to defeat King Kut Out with just Lanky, the other Kongs subsequently enter the battle if the previous Kong, such as Lanky, blasts out of the arena.
