In 1981 an unknown Japanese artist created a game based on a gorilla, a plumber, a kidnapped blonde, and lots of barrels. That game became known as Donkey Kong.

In October of 1999, 18 years later, Nintendo released Donkey Kong 64 to the Nintendo 64 with critical acclaim, selling 2.5 million copies, and it became the sixth-best-selling game of that year, in spite of its late release in October. In GameSpot's History of Donkey Kong feature, we analyze Donkey Kong's evolutionary track from the early arcade days to the coming games on the Game Boy Color. What makes the ape so great? Why is Nintendo's "gorilla" warfare so successful? The answers to these questions are inside.

Chunky Kong
Chunky Kong
Chunky Kong

Chunky Kong is a large Gorilla 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 doesn't 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. 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, Burp Skill, in which he releases a giant belch and pats his stomach, 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

Diddy Kong

Main article: Diddy Kong

Diddy Kong is the young monkey friend and nephew of Donkey Kong. He wears a red Nintendo hat and shirt with stars on it. He first appears in Donkey Kong Country as Donkey Kong's sidekick, before starring in the sequel, Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, followed by a cameo appearance in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!. The next game where he is featured as a playable character is Diddy Kong Racing. After joining Donkey Kong in a quest against the Kremlings in Donkey Kong 64, he was not featured again until several years later in Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour. He is also included as a playable character in several other Mario sports titles, and has been confirmed as a playable character for Super Smash Brothers Brawl."He is now returning sidekick in the new nintendo game Donkey Kong Jungle Climber, he also appeared in the animated series."

Donkey Kong

Main article: Donkey Kong (character)

Donkey Kong is the main character of the Donkey Kong series, appearing in almost all the series' games. Due to his stubborn nature, he occasionally alternates his role to a villain as Mario's rival.

Lanky Kong

Lanky Kong is an anthropomorphic Sumatran orangutan who is a distant cousin to the Kong family. Lanky's first appearance was in Donkey Kong 64 as one of the games 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. If the player is using one of the other Kongs, the Enguarde Crate is transparent.

Lanky Kong also makes a cameo in the GBA port of Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! 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 is an orangutan enemy called Manky Kong similar to Lanky in both appearance and name. It unknown if they have any relation or if Lanky Kong was based on Manky Kong.

Tiny Kong

Tiny Kong is a character in the Donkey Kong games who first appeared in Donkey Kong 64. She is an anthropomorphic tail-less monkey that has blonde hair and pigtails. She is Dixie Kong's younger sister and is a cousin to Chunky Kong and Kiddy Kong. In Donkey Kong 64, she was voiced by Kevin Bayliss. 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 Whirl, 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. This has the added benefit of negating damage from a high leap. She can user the pad to Monkey-Port to secret areas that other Kongs cannot get to. The player must utilize the Z button as part of this feature.

She encounters the mother of the Banana Fairies on the Banana Fairies Island. She receives a specialized camera so the team can take pictures of all twenty hidden Banana Fairies inside the game. Each picture increases the player's ammo and ammo supply capabillity. She also receives a special move to create an expanding forcefield.

In the level, Jungle Japes, she uses her Feather Crossbow to shoot the switches that open the gate to a secret area of the jungle. In the manual, it was stated that Cranky first thought it was Dixie, until she told Cranky that she's Dixie's younger sister.

If the player manages to follow the Banana Fairy using Tiny in the Overworld, a sixth Golden Banana (Only five Golden bananas per level can be found by any of the five playable Kongs.), with a Rareware logo instead of an N64 one, can be found.

Tiny was one of the confirmed characters in Donkey Kong Racing for the GameCube with Donkey, Diddy, Kiddy, and Taj, but the game was cancelled as Microsoft purchased Rare in September 2002.

She makes a cameo appearance in the GBA port of the SNES games, Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!. In Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, 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: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!, 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, oddly making her both taller and more physically developed than her older sister, Dixie. Her clothing was a beanie hat, sweat pants, a spaghetti-strap top, sandals, and fur wristbands, and she wore 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.


Information from Wikipedia.com

This is how important the history of Donkey Kong should last.Playable characters in brawl.

Also for a enemy how about thinking of putting in the almight King K. Rool.http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a8/King_K._Rool.jpg

K. Rool is the demented leader of the Kremling Krew, a group of reptilian creatures who live on Donkey Kong Island's neighbor, Crocodile Isle. Over the years since the original Donkey Kong Country, K. Rool has developed a deep hatred against the Kongs. Initially he just wanted Donkey Kong's banana hoard (which has raised the question among many as to why would crocodiles want bananas to begin with), but his failure to obtain it led him to try and hurt the Kongs directly. King K. Rool also has a tendency to be "down but not out" as seen in Donkey Kong Country (falls as if defeated, even fake credits of the game with the names of Kremlings start to roll then gets back up), Donkey Kong Country 2 (falls several times and gets back up), and Donkey Kong 64 (once the fights are over, he suddenly becomes conscious and tries to take down Chunky Kong). Another characteristic worth noting is his tail, which seems to often change size (along with his body size). In the SNES games, along with the N64 game, his tail is rather long, but in other appearances it is either short or he simply does not possess one. He also seems to have an eye for Candy Kong, according to Donkey Kong 64, though this has been thus far unsubstantiated.

Comeon you have to put them in

You know, there's already a K. Rool thread and he is the only one who can make it and Dixie, but she was shown as a trophy.
And? Diddy was shown as a trophy too. I guess you mean they wouldn't show her in a movie as a trophy before she's announced if she's in... and you're probably right.
