List of Donkey Kong characters
Encyclopedia
The following is a list of characters featured in the Donkey Kong series of video-games made by both Rare and Nintendo
as well as the Donkey Kong Country
TV series.
-breaking commentary. Introduced in Donkey Kong Country
, he has appeared in a number of Donkey Kong games, primarily as a reluctant adviser to Donkey Kong and his various simian pals (in game and in the instruction manuals), as well as running minigames and tutorials. His wife was Wrinkly Kong.
Cranky is the original Donkey Kong character featured in the 1981 arcade game
:
The current Donkey Kong (introduced in Donkey Kong Country
) is Donkey Kong Jr.
As his name implies, Cranky is perpetually bitter about many things and complains about them to anyone who gives him even the slightest acknowledgment. He is mostly angry about the state of modern video games, once going so far as to complain about how many bits and bytes are used up to simply animate his swinging beard. Every time he sees any such thing he seems to fondly recall his heyday in which he was an 8-bit character with only three frames of animation.
In Donkey Kong Country
on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System
, Cranky's main purpose was to distribute helpful hints about the game's many stages to Donkey Kong and his sidekick Diddy Kong
whenever they dropped by his cabin. Donkey Kong Country 2
saw him play a similar role, although this time the player would have to provide enough banana coins to buy specific hints. In Donkey Kong Country 3
he was the player's opponent in a throwing minigame at Swanky's Sideshow; in the Game Boy Advance
versions of Donkey Kong Country 2 and Donkey Kong Country 3, he hosted several minigames, and was briefly playable in one of them.
Donkey Kong 64
saw Cranky deal out potions that granted each of the five playable Kongs special abilities and could be purchased at Cranky's Lab. He also hosted the Jetpac
game, and would let you play it after earning 15 Banana Medals. Achieving 5,000 points in Jetpac
earned you the Rareware Coin, which was required to beat the game.
Cranky also made cameo appearances in Super Smash Bros. Melee
and Super Smash Bros. Brawl
, as well as appearing in Donkey Konga
and its sequels. His most recent appearances have been dispensing tips in ' and ', in Donkey Kong Barrel Blast where he served as a fully playable character for the first time (aside from the Dojo minigame of Donkey Kong Country 3' s Game Boy Advance port), and in Donkey Kong Country Returns
, where he runs various shops that sell items and helps the player by giving hints and tips when they leave his shop.
Cranky was a regular on the Donkey Kong Country animated series
. He was still as senile as in the games, but without his fourth wall
-destroying comments. His cabin was where the Crystal Coconut, the mystical bauble that made DK the future ruler of Kongo Bongo Island (as DK Island was called on the show), was kept. Often, Cranky mixed potions, somewhat prefiguring his Donkey Kong 64 role. He was voiced by Aron Tager
, and in the Japanese dub by Ryūsei Nakao
.
; in this game, she provided instruments for DK and company to use against the Kremlings and gives the Kong family more watermelons which increase the player's life. She wore headphones, a pink short-sleeve top, pink short shorts, and some footwear. She also makes a brief appearance in DK: King of Swing, and is seen cheering on the player's characters. She wore a pink bikini top and short shorts, and her torso was redesigned (this appearance has remained in subsequent games). She also makes a brief cameo appearance in the GBA remake of Donkey Kong Country 2 and Donkey Kong Country 3. In Donkey Kong Country 2
she appears as a model on Swanky Kong's quiz show, and she wore a purple dress. In Donkey Kong Country 3
, she appeared in one of the challenges of Funky's Rentals as one of the people who had to be rescued from the Kremlings, who were kidnapping the Kongs. She also made a brief appearance in Donkey Kong Barrel Blast in the mode Candy's Challenges and allowed the players to collect up to a total of 1,000 bananas and to win the tracks in first place.
Candy was also a regular on the Donkey Kong Country animated series
as well. She was voiced by Joy Tanner
. However, in the series, she looked completely different from the pink-clad blonde seen in the games. Also, on the show, she worked at the barrel factory run by Bluster Kong, her boss, who constantly hit on her. Candy sometimes had a goal of buying the factory. From time to time, she had lunch with Donkey Kong. This version of Candy also showed off a very quick temper.
Candy Kong is Donkey Kong's girlfriend, as said in Super Smash Bros. Brawl
and also Donkey Kong Country: Legend of the Crystal Coconut. Some hints in the game about their relationship are that in Donkey Kong Country, Candy Kong always blows a kiss at Donkey Kong whenever he comes to save the game (although she also does this with Diddy Kong). Another clue is that you will find a picture of Candy Kong in Donkey Kong's house and a picture of Donkey Kong on a heart shaped rug in Candy's house, as seen in Donkey Kong 64. In 2007 Games.net ranked Candy Kong #2 on their list of "Top Ten Disturbingly Sexual Game Characters".
weighing 2000 lbs
and is one of the playable Kongs in the game Donkey Kong 64
. Chunky is the older brother of Kiddy Kong and cousin of Dixie Kong and Tiny Kong. He was freed by Lanky in the level Frantic Factory. Before he was freed, he indicates that he does not like heights. Despite his brawny build, he acts somewhat cowardly and childish. One example of this is when the player selects him in the barrel, he gets scared, shakes his head 'no' and tries to convince the player to choose Tiny Kong instead (although when not highlighted in the "select spotlight," he is shown to be more enthusiastic about being selected; this, however, could be reverse psychology
). His weapon is the Pineapple Launcher, his instrument is the Triangle Trample, and the potion enables him to do Hunky Chunky, turning gigantic, Primate Punch, unleashing a very powerful punch which can smash down some doors and walls, and Gorilla-Gone, turning temporarily invisible. He can carry boulders and other heavy items that the other Kongs cannot carry. It should be noted that it was Chunky, with a combination of the "Hunky Chunky" and "Primate Punch" abilities, who defeated K.Rool in the last boxing match in Donkey Kong 64. He appears as a sticker in Super Smash Bros. Brawl
. He also made a brief cameo appearance in the Game Boy Advance remake of Donkey Kong Country 3, in the third challenge of Funky's Rentals, where he was one of the Kongs that he had to be rescued from the Kremlings' kidnapping threat, along with other characters such as Candy, Tiny and Cranky Kong. In Donkey Kong: Barrel Blast his weapon, the Pineapple Launcher, is an item that can be obtained in an item balloon and follows the player ahead of you until it hits them.
as Diddy Kong
's sidekick. Dixie later made the starring role of Donkey Kong Country 3
. While she did not return in Donkey Kong 64
, her sister, Tiny Kong, served as her replacement. Her next time featured as a playable character was in Donkey Konga 2 on the Nintendo GameCube
, a bongo rhythm game. She appeared once again in the Japan only Donkey Konga 3. She is also a playable character in Diddy Kong Racing DS and DK: Jungle Climber for the Nintendo DS
, DK King of Swing for the Game Boy Advance, Mario Superstar Baseball
for the Nintendo GameCube
, and Mario Super Sluggers
and Donkey Kong Barrel Blast for the Wii
and Mario Hoops 3-on-3
for the DS
. Dixie is remembered by her ability to twirl her hair to float downwards. Dixie Kong has secured her place as one of the main Donkey Kong characters and appears 3rd only to Donkey and Diddy. Like Diddy, she also appears in the Donkey Kong Country
TV series.
remake of Donkey Kong
, where he teams up against Mario with his father, who is once again holding Pauline captive. Junior has also appeared as a playable character in the original Super Mario Kart
and Virtual Boy
game Mario's Tennis
, as well as a hidden character in the Nintendo 64
version of the similarly named Mario Tennis. He also got his own education game in the form of Donkey Kong Jr. Math for the Nintendo Entertainment System
. Other appearances by Junior includes the Game & Watch
games Donkey Kong Jr. (in wide-screen, tabletop and panorama versions) and Donkey Kong 2, as well as the Game & Watch Gallery series
compilations for Game Boy. He also appears as the physical appearances of the transformed king of World 4 in the Super NES
and Game Boy Advance
versions of Super Mario Bros. 3
. Donkey Kong Junior had his own segment in the first season of Saturday Supercade
and was voiced by Frank Welker
. Like his father, he even had his own cereal.
According to Rare, the developers of Donkey Kong Country
, there are multiple Donkey Kongs, and the modern one who appears from Donkey Kong Country onward is actually a grown-up version of Junior himself. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl
, a codec conversation between Solid Snake
and Otacon says that the current Donkey Kong is the original Donkey Kong's (Cranky Kong) grandson.
The character Diddy Kong was going to be an updated version of Donkey Kong Junior. However, Nintendo did not like this idea, suggesting either to give him his old look or make him a new character. Rare chose the latter and Donkey Kong Junior became Diddy Kong.
, he took on a different role as a watercraft merchant, allowing Dixie Kong and Kiddy Kong to reach new areas of the game world. In Donkey Kong 64, Funky switched jobs yet again to become the ammunitions expert of the group. He supplied various weaponry and upgrades to the Kongs, and donned camouflage clothing, goggles and a large rocket on his back in favor of his old board shorts and sunglasses. He took back on his "surfer" appearance in later games. He is also a playable character in Donkey Kong: Barrel Blast, as well as in multiplayer modes of ' and '.
Funky was also a regular on the Donkey Kong Country
cartoon, where he was voiced by Damon D'Oliveira. An obvious difference one might notice is that the cartoon version of Funky had tan fur as opposed to the brown fur his video game counterpart had. He was also given a Jamaica
n accent. However, like his game counterpart, Funky is keen on surfing (although we never see him doing it), and like in the first game, he runs his own airline service. He often talks about karma
and is the best dancer on the island. Funky is obviously not fond of adventuring or fighting the Kremlings. Nor is he keen on doing very much work; he often tries to take the easier way out of a situation, or just leave it up to DK and Diddy.
Funky also appears as an unlockable heavyweight character in Mario Kart Wii
, his first appearance in a Mario game. His victory cry of "yeah" at the end of the race is remarkably similar to the famous catch-phrase of American rapper Lil' Jon. His next appearance in a Mario game was in Mario Super Sluggers
for the Wii, where he was a playable character along with the other Donkey Kong characters.
that was created by Rareware. He was introduced in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!
as Dixie's sidekick and toddler cousin. Their mission was to solve a series of mysteries in the Northern Kremisphere and find their missing friends Donkey and Diddy. He is a sturdy toddler with lots of strength and is said to be a lot like Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong in a way as he seems to always get in trouble. He was also playable in Donkey Kong Land III
where he joins Dixie in her quest to prove herself worthy by finding the fabled lost world before DK, Diddy, and the Kremlings. He did not appear in Donkey Kong 64
but was mentioned in the manual as being the baby brother of Chunky Kong. He was slated to appear in Donkey Kong Racing before it was canceled and so far has yet to appear in any games since then. His abilities included water skipping, being able to roll farther to make longer than average jumps, and throwing Dixie high out of normal jump reach, with Dixie being able to throw him and guide his fall to break platforms and unveil hidden secrets.
who is a distant cousin to the Kong family. Lanky's first appearance was in Donkey Kong 64
as one of the game's five playable Kongs. He was freed by Donkey Kong in the Angry Aztec level in the Llama's Temple. His weapon is the Grape Shooter, his instrument is the Trombone Tremor, and the Potion enables him to do OrangStand, walking on his hands to climb steep slopes. Baboon Balloon allows him to inflate himself to reach higher areas, and OrangSprint allows him to run really fast on his hands. In the level, Gloomy Galleon, he can transform into Enguarde the Swordfish when he enters the Enguarde Crate.
Lanky Kong also makes a cameo in the GBA port of Donkey Kong Country 3
in one of Funky's minigames.
Lanky appears in his spin-off debut, Donkey Kong Barrel Blast as one of the Kongs. He is one of the unlockable characters.
Note that in Donkey Kong Country
there was an orangutan enemy called Manky Kong similar to Lanky in both appearance and name. It is unknown if they have any relation or if Lanky Kong was based on Manky Kong.
Lanky Kong appears as a trophy in the game Super Smash Bros. Brawl
.
. She has blonde hair and pigtails. She is Dixie Kong's younger sister and is a cousin to Chunky Kong and Kiddy Kong, as stated in the manual for Donkey Kong 64
. In Donkey Kong 64, she was voiced by Kevin Bayliss, an employee at Rare who voiced multiple characters in the game. In Diddy Kong Racing DS and all later games, she is voiced by Jen Taylor
. This actress also voiced Dixie in Mario Superstar Baseball
. She is now depicted taller than Dixie.
In Donkey Kong 64, her clothing was a beanie hat, blue overalls, a white T-Shirt, and white shoes. She was freed by Diddy Kong in the Angry Aztec level in the building near Candy's Music Shop. Her weapon is the Feather Crossbow, her instrument is the Saxophone Slam, the Potion enables her for Mini-Monkey, Pony-Tail Twirl, and Monkey-Port. She can shrink when she jumps into her special barrel, allowing her access to areas other Kongs cannot go. She can do a helicopter-spin, equivalent to Dixie's, to slow down her descent. And she can teleport virtually anywhere when standing on a blue pad.
Tiny was one of the confirmed characters in Donkey Kong Racing for the Nintendo GameCube
with Donkey Kong, Diddy, Kiddy, and Taj, but the game was cancelled as Microsoft
purchased Rare, Ltd. in September 2002.
She makes a cameo appearance in the GBA port of the SNES games Donkey Kong Country 2
and Donkey Kong Country 3
. In Donkey Kong Country 2
, Diddy, Dixie, or both must rescue her from the Zingers in a mini-game called Kongnapped and the objective is to rescue six of her in order to win. In Donkey Kong Country 3
, she appears in one of Funky's Motorboat challenges. These two games she appeared in are the only games where she is not a playable character.
In her spin-off debut, Diddy Kong Racing DS, she seems to have grown more mature, making her both taller and more physically developed than her older sister, Dixie. Her clothing now consists of a beanie hat, sweat pants, a midriff revealing spaghetti-strap top, sandals and fur wristbands, as well as earrings that she did not wear in the previous games. She is one of the first eight playable characters. Her acceleration and handling are slightly below average, and she has a medium top speed. In the game's commercial, she was using a Hovercraft and instead of being in the usual position in the game, she was standing, leaning forward.
In Donkey Kong Barrel Blast, Tiny is one of the Kongs in this game. It is the first game on the Wii
she appears in. It is also the second racing game for her character. She is one of the unlockable characters in this game. She was unlocked by completing Sapphire Mode on a Rookie Setting as one of the Kongs.
Tiny Kong also appears as a playable character in Mario Super Sluggers
. This is also Tiny Kong's debut in the Mario franchise.
Kong who hosts a TV show called "Swanky's Bonus Bonanza" in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest
in which Diddy and Dixie must answer questions about the game correctly to win extra lives. The questions would range from easy ones such as enemies you have seen and the world you're currently in to hard ones such as objects in the background. After Crocodile Isle was destroyed in Donkey Kong Counry 2, Swanky ran "Swanky's Sideshow" in the Northern Kremisphere of Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!
where you had to face off against Cranky Kong. If you won, Swanky awarded you with Bear Coins and Banana Bunches. Even if you lost, Swanky would still give you some as a consolation prize. In Donkey Kong Country 2, he wears a blue oversized jacket and had an afro hair style. In DKC3, he wears a white long-sleeved shirt, a gold vest, a bowler hat, black pants, black and white shoes, and had a diamond-topped cane. In the Game Boy Advance
version of Donkey Kong Country 2, Swanky's role remained the same except that he now has Candy as his assistant. If you beat all of his quizzes, Swanky will reward you with a photo of himself to add to the scrapbook. In the Game Boy Advance version of Donkey Kong Country 3, Swanky sported his Donkey Kong Country 2 look and now runs "Swanky's Dash", a virtual reality
game where you collect stars as Dixie (as Kiddy is too young to play). If you collect enough stars, Swanky will give you Bear Coins, Banana Bunches, and Extra Life Balloons. Swanky Kong has yet to appear in other games and become playable. His relationship to the Kong Family is currently unknown. Many have suggested that he is the brother of Donkey Kong since they look similar, but this is unconfirmed.
, grandmother of Donkey Kong, and the wife of Cranky Kong. Wrinkly first appeared in the game Donkey Kong Country 2
for the SNES
, where she ran Kong Kollege. She gave the player advice and allowed the player to save his or her game. She appeared again in Donkey Kong Land 2
, and again in Donkey Kong Country 3
. This time, she resided in Wrinkly's Save Cave, where the player could both save their game and deposit Banana Birds, which were found throughout the game. This concept remained sans birds in Donkey Kong Land III
, where she resided in Wrinkly's Refuge. In the Game Boy Advance
version of Donkey Kong Country 3
, Wrinkly was portrayed as a spiritual follower of the Banana Birds.
Wrinkly next appeared in Donkey Kong 64
. She had apparently passed away at some point after Donkey Kong Country 3 as she is now a ghost
. Every world lobby in the game, with the exception of Hideout Helm, featured five doors with Wrinkly's face on them; each door presented a hint for the level that applied to the Kong that corresponded to the door color (yellow for Donkey Kong, red for Diddy Kong, blue for Lanky Kong, purple for Tiny Kong, and green for Chunky Kong). When the player begins meeting her in Donkey Kong 64
, she says, "Don't be afraid of me, young ones! It's only me, Wrinkly Kong," and then she gives the player advice on how to win a Golden Banana on the corresponding level.
Her first playable appearance was in DK: King of Swing. she would later return for DK: Jungle Climber and as an unlockable character in Donkey Kong Barrel Blast. She also appears as a trophy in Super Smash Bros Brawl.
He has a dapper alter-ego (whom Bluster becomes after mixing up a serum by mistake) named Leo Luster who appears in the episode Hunka Hunka Burnin' Bluster and threatens Donkey Kong's relationship with Candy. However, Bluster is soon forced to tell Candy the truth when his serum runs dry and he reverts to his true self.
. He alongside Karate Kong, Ninja Kong, and Sumo Kong were placed under the spell of Ghastly King. When Donkey Kong defeated Ghastly King, Dread Kong congratulated Donkey Kong for defeating Ghastly King.

crocodilia
ns who are ruled by King K. Rool and antagonize the kongs on a regular basis. The species are originally from Crocodile Isle, though they were first seen in the Kongs' island in Donkey Kong Country
when King K. Rool stole the banana hoard, though the reason why carnivores would need bananas is never explained. They come in many sizes, varieties and colors, and most of them are anthropomorphic. In the first Donkey Kong Country, the Kremling species were wearing military attire, but with the sequel, they switched their gear to pirate-themed ones (which seemed to be custom in their home island). In the third game, many of them were not seen with clothing of any sort, often looking mutant-like, the work of Baron K. Roolenstein.
The Kremling Krew is the name used for K. Rool's entire army, which not only consist of the Kremlings, but also of many different animal species (birds, mammals, insects, fish, other reptiles, etc.) that seemed to have become followers of the psychotic king. Several machines and ghosts (undead) seem to be included in the Kremling Krew as well.
Many of these enemies also appeared in Donkey Kong 64 and are playable in Donkey Kong Barrel Blast.
While almost all the Kremlings are enemies of the Kongs, one exception is Klubba, a Kremling who wields a giant club studded with nails. Appearing in Diddy's Kong Quest, Klubba does not seem to have anything against the Kongs and will happily help them if they pay him in Kremkoins.
crocodile
who is the main villain of many Donkey Kong games. King K. Rool is the psychopathic king of the Kremlings who constantly antagonizes the Kongs, referring to them as "filthy apes", "monkey brains" and "ludicrous lemurs". He often steals Donkey Kong's banana hoard. His most distinguishing features are the tic
in his left eye
and his golden belly with an outie navel
(bellybutton). While he is overweight, K. Rool has huge muscles in his arms and he has proven to have enormous brute strength that matches (perhaps surpasses) Donkey Kong and Chunky Kong's power. In Donkey Kong Country
, he wears a red cape and a gold crown, and after his defeat he used other outfits and gadgets to defeat the Kongs.
He is the pirate
Kaptain K. Rool who kidnaps Donkey Kong in Diddy's Kong Quest
.
He later takes the alias of the mad scientist
Baron K. Roolenstein who tries to take over the Northern Kremisphere in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!
.
He later appeared as the boxer King Krusha K. Rool where he causes trouble in Donkey Kong 64
. A detail worth noting is his tail, which seems to change size in several of his appearances (sometimes, it is long or short and at other times, he does not have one at all). This game also features Gloomy Galleon, which features a sunken ship bearing pictures of his previous alias, Kaptain K. Rool. It is unknown whether or not this is the ship in Donkey Kong Country 2.
In the TV series, he appears as a king and often feuds with Kaptain Skurvy (who is based on the Kremling enemy Kannon). Besides the Kritters and Klap Traps, King K. Rool's henchmen are Klump and Krusha. He is portrayed as somewhat pompous and stereotypically British. He is voiced by Kevin Bayliss in Donkey Kong 64, Benedict Campbell in the Donkey Kong Country
TV shows, and Jūrōta Kosugi
in the Japanese adaptation. His name is a pun on the word cruel.

.
. He thinks that Kongs are cute causing King K. Rool to lock him up in a cage and scatter the keys throughout the island. Upon being freed by the Kongs, K. Lumsy ends up beating up King K. Rool.
. He guards the entrance to the Lost World.
In the TV series, Klump appears as one of King K. Rool's henchmen and works as a general for the Kritter army. He goes together with Krusha as the show's comedy relief. He is voiced by Len Carlson
.
. His has an Oranges Gun, and he has a sliding ability, simaliar to Donkey Kong and Tiny Kong.
In the TV series, Krusha appears as one of King K. Rool's henchmen and goes together with Klump as the show's comic relief. He is voiced by Ron Rubin
.
. He is a recolored version of Klubba and serves as the boss of Krem Quay.
. He attacks Donkey Kong on the ghost train ride in Creepy Castle.
In Super Mario Strikers
, a Kritter serves as a goalie for each team. A Robo-Critter serves as the goalie for a robotic team. In Mario Strikers Charged
, they retain their roles as goalies. In Mario Super Sluggers, Kritters appear as playable characters for the team DK Wilds.
The Klaptraps also appear in the TV series. There is also a large Klaptrap named Junior who is one of King K. Rool's henchmen.
. He apparently put a spell on Dread Kong, Karate Kong, Ninja Kong, and Sumo Kong to defeat Donkey Kong. After Ghastly King was defeated, Donkey Kong becomes the new ruler of the Fruit Kingdoms.
s who are the main antagonists in Donkey Kong Country Returns
. The tribe is led by Tiki Tong, a gigantic Tiki. The Tiki Tak Tribe use hypnosis
-inducing music
on the animals of DK Island (namely elephant
s, giraffe
s, zebra
s, and squirrel
s) and steal Donkey Kong's bananas, forcing him to retrieve the hoard with the help of Diddy Kong. It is interesting to note that the Tiki Tak Tribe's hypnotic music does not work on Donkey Kong or on Diddy Kong (it's hinted that it's because they're too smart for the spell to work). It would seem that the Tiki Tak Tribe needs bananas in order to live and to make more tikis, which seems to be the reason as to why they stole all of the bananas in DK Island.
. In the final battle against him, the other Tikis (that the Kongs sent flying) threw a bunch of bananas in Tiki Tong's head, which he melted into a golden liquid and poured on the Tikis; which in turn formed his hands. Like the other Tikis, he requires bananas in order to live (which is most likely why the Tiki Tak Tribe stole Donkey Kong's bananas) and to make himself more powerful. Unlike the Tiki leaders who speak in a musical way, he speaks in guttural roars. Tiki Tong perishes in a final battle with Donkey and Diddy after he explodes, launching the Kongs into orbit, which prompts the latter to punch the moon
sending the moon plomitting down, crushing Tiki Tong's base, sending a wave of bananas raining down upon the island.
