Lanky Kong is a Kong living on DK Island. He first appeared in Donkey Kong 64, where he could walk on his hands and inflate himself like a balloon. Since then, he had no more playable appearances until 2006, when Donkey Kong: Barrel Blast, which is still a playable character even if the game is crap.
He would play like no one else, walking on his hands instead of his feet. He would be fairly weak, but extremely good with recovery and speed. Average endurance, and as special abilities he could climb on walls and cling onto them too. His long arms are virtually tethers, and he is about Link height.

Up Smash: Switches positions and punches upwards.9%

Side Special: Barrel Blast: Straps on his barrels and shoots forward about 10 character spaces. 14%
Up Special: Inflate: Sticks his thumb in his mouth and inflates,. You can slowly control his upward motion for 5 seconds. Interestingly, if he is hit, he deflates quickly and shoots whichever way you tilt the control stick.
Down Special: Exploding Orange: From 64, he throws an exploding orange. You can tilt it like Yoshi's Egg Toss. 17%
Final Smash: Trombone Terror: Since I figure DK is going to get a much more worthy FS, I think Lanky should get something like Bongos. The music is screechy and loud, but fairly easy to tap to the rhythm. It lasts shorter, though. [/COLLAPSE]
