Donkey Kong

It’s Donkey Kong, ruler of the jungle. The original giant powerhouse makes a triumphant return!

Looks like his giant punch is still the haymaker you remember. Don’t doubt his strength or you’ll end up with the ultimate headache!

Donkey Kong: Special Moves

  Characters

Donkey Kong has a lot of meteor smashes.

Forward midair attack!

Down midair attack!

screenshot

Head Butt!!

screenshot

Come with me! (This isn’t a meteor smash, though.)


<Standard Special Move: Giant Punch>

Donkey Kong’s primary special move is the Giant Punch. If you power it up before you unload it, it’s superstrong.

If you power it up before you swing...

It can be a one-punch KO!

Furthermore, when you attack with a full charge, Donkey Kong won’t flinch when he throws his punch.

It was then I knew I would become a star...

However, you won’t be able to hit opponents as easy as 1-2-3! Let me use the next special move to illustrate a golden combo for you to work on.


<Side Special Move: Head Butt>

screenshot

Bury your opponent!

screenshot

Giant Punch!

Seriously? Will it always connect? Really? Once you get them with a Head Butt, is the Giant Punch a lock?

Well, not exactly.

  • The amount of damage taken is proportional to the amount of time spent buried.
  • If they’re in the air, you won’t be able to bury them.
  • It’s harder to hit with the Head Butt than it is with the Giant Punch.

For these reasons and others, it’s not exactly easy to land this combo.

If you get buried, get out quick!

But for Donkey Kong, there’s a lot of merit to charging up and then saving the charge for the right moment. Keep an eye on the situation and make your own judgments.

Of course, no matter which character you play, the rule of aiming for opponents who already have a lot of damage remains the same.

By the way, when lifting someone, your opponent’s damage similarly affects how quickly they can break free, so be careful.

Donkey Kong: Final Smash

  Characters

<Konga Beat>

As you might expect from Donkey Kong, his Final Smash is something...upbeat. That’s right, he’s breaking out the DK Bongos!

screenshot

Taa-daah!

And...DUM DOO DUM DUMMM!

It’s cool to just pound on them, but why not listen to the music that’s playing? Press buttons in time to the beat to really get things hopping.

screenshot

1, 2, 3...dum, doo, dum dum!

screenshot

Now clap! Clappity clap clap!

Feel the rhythm and increase the power! T-t-take it easy, will ya!

screenshot

And finish!

DK’s invulnerable while in the middle of this move, so take it easy and enjoy the moment.

Oh, and jamming during screen scrolls and such is something you might want to...think about.
