'''Chunky Kong''' is a character from the ''[[Donkey Kong (series)|Donkey Kong series]]''. He is the strongest of the [[Kong Family]] but is somewhat meek. His first appearance was in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. He is the cousin of [[Tiny Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]] as well as the older brother of [[Kiddy Kong]].

[[File:Chunky Kong imprisoned DK64.png|thumb|left|Chunky Kong is imprisoned inside a hanging cage in Frantic Factory in ''Donkey Kong 64''.]]
====''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''====
In ''Donkey Kong 64'', Chunky and the three other Kongs, [[Diddy Kong]], [[Tiny Kong|Tiny]], and [[Lanky Kong|Lanky]], were captured by the [[Kremling]]s to distract [[Donkey Kong]] while they steal his [[banana hoard]]. Chunky is the fourth and final Kong to be rescued, although he can be rescued before Tiny Kong if Lanky is rescued first, then once Donkey Kong goes to Frantic Factory once it is possible to rescue him. Chunky is imprisoned in [[Frantic Factory]]'s Storage Room, where he is locked in a cage that hangs from the ceiling. Lanky Kong can free Chunky by using [[OrangStand]] to walk up a pipe and [[Simian Slam]] a [[Kong Switch]] on top. This causes Chunky's cage to fall down and break, thus freeing him. This allows the player to select Chunky from a [[Tag Barrel]], and to collect green [[banana]]s, [[Banana Coin|Banana Bunch Coin]]s, and green [[blueprint]]s.
Chunky's name was actually encountered before he made his first official appearance in a game. During one of [[Swanky Kong]]'s quizzes in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', one of the possible answers to the question "What is the name of the [[Funky Kong|Kong who owns the aeroplane]]?" is "Chunky Kong".


Chunky acts as the game's comedic relief. This is first shown in the [[DK Rap]] opening, where he briefly wears a 1970s-era disco outfit, but then quickly changes into his regular outfit after realizing that the other Kongs are in their normal outfit. Another instance is in the Tag Barrel, where he acts the opposite of the other Kongs, who want to be selected: if the player highlights Chunky, he gets scared of being chosen by the player and points to Tiny. If the player highlights the next Kong, Chunky is shown expressing a sigh of relief. Additionally, after Chunky falls to the ground from high up (which makes him lose a Melon of his health), he gets up with a shrunk torso and limbs. Chunky proceeds to inflate those body parts back to normal size.
====''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''====
[[File:Chunky in Frantic Factory DK64.png|thumb|Chunky throws an orange at a Robokremling in Frantic Factory]]
Chunky appears in one of [[Funky Kong]]'s [[minigame]]s in the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]''. Here, he is one of the Kongs that appear in the water and has to be protected from being taken away by boats with [[Kremling]]s on them.
Chunky has a few unique abilities that he can learn from [[Cranky Kong]] at [[Cranky's Lab|his lab]]. The first move that Chunky learns is [[Hunky Chunky]], which makes him grow gigantic. The second move that he learns is [[Primate Punch]], which allows him to activate [[wall switch]]es depicting his face, and as an attack to defeat stronger enemies such as [[Robokremling]]s. The third and last move is [[Gorilla Gone]], which allows Chunky to become invisible (except his clothes), see invisible objects, and pass by searchlights undetected. Chunky is the strongest of the Kongs, and he has the unique ability to lift and throw [[boulder]]s. Contrarily, Chunky moves the slowest of the Kongs and also jumps the lowest of them, both of which are mentioned during his verse in the DK Rap.


Chunky, along with the other four Kongs, can perform [[Simian Slam]] and its two stronger variants, the Super Simian Slam and the Super Duper Simian Slam. These moves allow him to hit [[Kong Switch|Chunky Switch]]es, and the latter two allow him to hit blue and red Chunky Switches respectively. Chunky and the other four Kongs can also perform the [[Super Slam]] after [[Tiny Kong]] learns the ability from her first visit with the [[Banana Fairy Princess]].
===''Donkey Kong 64''===
[[File:KongClan.PNG|thumb|right|200px|Chunky Kong with his friends.]]
In ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', Chunky is one of the Kongs captured by the [[Kremling Krew]] at the start of the game. Chunky is found in [[Frantic Factory]] in the Storage Room, where he is rescued by [[Lanky Kong]]. Once Chunky is free, he can collect [[Green Banana|green banana]]s, [[Banana Coin|coin]]s and [[Blueprint]]s.


At [[Funky's Store]], Chunky can pay three [[Banana Coin|Banana Bunch Coin]]s for his personal weapon, the [[Pineapple Launcher]]. At [[Candy's Music Shop]], Chunky can purchase a triangle instrument from [[Candy Kong]] for three Banana Bunch Coins; from his triangle, Chunky can perform the move, [[Triangle Trample]].
Chunky Kong fights the boss of the [[Fungi Forest]], which is a rematch with [[Dogadon]]; When he defeats him, he gains one of the [[Boss Key|key]]s to [[K. Lumsy]]'s cage. In [[Fungi Forest]] he has to go through a minecart ride in the well and collect a certain amount of coins to get a [[Golden Banana]].


In [[Fungi Forest]], Chunky is selected by the boss door of [[Troff 'n' Scoff]] to fight the level boss, which is a rematch against [[Dogadon]]. The level also has a [[Mine Cart Ride]]  that Chunky must complete. During the [[King Kut Out]] battle, Chunky can be optionally selected from the Tag Barrel, along with the other Kongs. He is the third Kong to participate by default if the previous two Kongs (Lanky and Tiny) are blasted out the stage.
During the final battle against [[King K. Rool]], Chunky is the final Kong to go up against the Kremling King. At the start of the fight, K. Rool will turn invisible and Chunky has to use the Chunky pad to turn invisible and see the Chunky barrel in the middle. Chunky then turns into a giant and is able to knock K. Rool against the opposite corner as he charges for him. Eventually, K. Rool is knocked out by Chunky. He celebrates his victory as K. Rool gets up with the intent of attacking Chunky before being distracted by [[Candy Kong]] and shot with a bazooka by [[Funky Kong]].  


During the final boss battle against [[King K. Rool]], Chunky is the fifth and final Kong to go against K. Rool. When the fifth round starts, K. Rool turns invisible and Chunky must stand on a [[Cranky's Kong Pad|Chunky Pad]] to activate his Gorilla Gone ability, which turn Chunky invisible but makes K. Rool visible. This also causes a [[Cranky's Kong Barrel|Chunky Barrel]] to float above the center of the stage. Chunky must jump inside it to activate his Hunky Chunky ability, so that he can perform a Primate Punch as K. Rool charges for him. Chunky eventually knocks out K. Rool and wins the boss fight. In the credits, Chunky is seen playing with Tiny Kong, but accidentally throws her up onto a cliff.
Throughout the game, Chunky gains a variety of bizarre abilities from drinking [[Cranky Kong]]'s various potions or buying from Funky and Candy. His first individual ability is ''Primate Punch'', while the second is ''Hunky Chunky'', and the third one is ''Gorilla Gone''. Chunky's weapon is the [[Pineapple Launcher]]. His instrument is triangle; with this he can use the ''Triangle Trample''. Aside from this he can learn ''[[Simian Slam]]'', ''Super Simian Slam'' and ''Super Duper Simian Slam'', which all Kongs use.


Chunky Kong is playable in the Multiplayer mode. Aside from Chunky's regular outfit, there are three different color options for Chunky's vest. This includes a green vest with a light and dark purple pattern, a purple with a blue and light blue pattern, and a red with a yellow and red pattern.
During the [[DK Rap]] in the intro, Chunky also briefly wore a 1970s-era disco outfit, although he quickly changed into his regular outfit as soon as he realizes that none of the other Kongs are wearing the outfit.

==="Donkey Kong in When the Banana Splits"===
In the comic ''[[Donkey Kong in When the Banana Splits]]'', Chunky helps the other Kongs track down King K. Rool when he steals the [[Golden Bananas]]. Chunky is the first one to attack the Kremlings, leading to a large battle between them and all of the Kongs. Chunky and his companions eventually emerge victorious, and return home with the Golden Bananas. In the comic, he is incorrectly drawn with teeth for an unknown reason.

===''Donkey Kong Country 3'' (Game Boy Advance)===
[[File:Chunky DKC3.png|frame]]
In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Donkey Kong Country 3]]'' for the [[Game Boy Advance]], Chunky makes an appearance in the "Protect" challenge of the [[Funky's Rentals (minigame)|Funky's Rentals]] [[minigame]]. He is one of the Kongs who appear in the water and must be protected from being taken away by speedboats piloted by [[Kremling]]s.


===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
Chunky Kong only makes two cameos in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]]. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', he appears as a [[Sticker (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|sticker]], exclusively usable by Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong, and it boosts the strength of throwing attacks by 31 in [[smashwiki:Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary|The Subspace Emissary]]. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Chunky appears as a [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]], which reuses his artwork from ''Donkey Kong 64''.
====''Super Smash Bros. Melee''====
Although he did not appear in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', there is a reference to Chunky on the [[Kongo Jungle]] stage. As the [[DK Rap]] plays, following [[Diddy Kong]]'s verse, Chunky is included in the song.


===''The Super Mario Bros. Movie''===
====''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''====
[[File:Kongs reacting to Cat Mario TSMBM.png|thumb|220px|Chunky Kong's appearance in ''The Super Mario Bros. Movie''.]]
Chunky Kong appears as a [[Sticker (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|Sticker]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''; it could only be used by Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong. The [[DK Rap]] that appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' appears again, but this time on [[Jungle Japes (stage)|Jungle Japes]].
Chunky Kong appears in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'', cheering alongside [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]] during [[Mario]]'s battle with [[Donkey Kong]] at the [[Great Ring of Kong]]. He was first revealed to have an appearance in the movie through a poster where he appeared alongside [[Swanky Kong]], Dixie Kong, Diddy Kong, Cranky Kong, and other Kongs.<ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/smbmovie/assets/img/bg_modal_cast06.jpg Donkey Kong banner image on the official Japanese ''Super Mario Bros. Movie'' Nintendo website]</ref> He later appears in the final film alongside Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong. The film marks Chunky Kong's first physical appearance in over 17 years since the Game Boy Advance remake of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Donkey Kong Country 3]]''.


==General information==
==Powers and Abilities==
===Physical appearance===
[[File:Chunky.PNG|thumb|Chunky Kong artwork.]]
Chunky has the typical apelike attributes like the other Kongs, and he has a similar build to his younger brother [[Kiddy Kong]], having a big torso with large and long burly arms, showing his strength. By comparison, his legs and feet are quite small. Chunky's head is also fairly big, partly due to his large mouth that is even bigger than Kiddy's. Like Kiddy, Chunky has brown eyes, though his are a darker shade and are also unconnected with each other. His ears are also very small. Chunky is the biggest member of the Kong family, being taller than [[Candy Kong]], and is more than twice as heavy as [[Donkey Kong]], weighing 2000 pounds (907 kg) at his normal size, compared to Donkey Kong, who weighs 800 pounds (363 kg). Additionally, Chunky is described as being quite young, in spite of his huge size and deep voice.
Chunky Kong is physically the strongest of the Kongs, able to easily lift and toss boulders that not even Donkey Kong can move. However, he is the slowest of the heroes and cannot jump very high.


Chunky's clothing consists of a white t-shirt with a vest over it that is blue on the front and has two yellow and orange buttons. The backside is colored yellow and green in a checkerboard pattern. He wears a red cap similarly to [[Diddy Kong]]'s that is turned backwards, but his does not have the [[Nintendo]] logo on it. Chunky also wears a black belt with a golden belt buckle around his waist.
Chunky Kong's abilities from ''Donkey Kong 64'':
*From Cranky's potions:
**'''[[Simian Slam]]''': He can press green buttons with his face on them.
**'''Super Simian Slam''': He can press blue buttons with his face on them.
**'''Super Duper Simian Slam''': He can press red buttons with his face on them.
**'''Primate Punch''': With this ability he can perform a powerful punch that is capable of breaking large doors among other things.[[File:The_Hunky_Chunky_Barrel.jpg‎|thumb|right|The Hunky Chunky Barrel]]
**'''Hunky Chunky''': With the help of [[Crystal Coconut]]s he can turn into a giant and pick up large objects, as well as hit large switches. He can also climb up the thick palm trees in the secret area of Jungle Japes that he couldn't at his normal size, though the other Kongs cannot climb up the thick palm trees. While he is in this form, the thin palm trees and all types of the pads are absent, and the Tag Barrel is translucent.
**'''Gorilla Gone''': With the help of his [[Cranky's Kong Pads|Kong Pad]] he can turn invisible and see invisible things.
*From other Kongs:
**'''Triangle Trample''': He uses a triangle which can defeat almost every enemy and could also make special things happen when used on a [[Music Pad]]
**'''Pineapple Launcher''': He can shoot pineapples to damage enemies and to activate switches.


===Personality===
==Personality==
Chunky is portrayed as a strong character, but also sweet and gentle. He prefers not to fight unless he has to in order to help or protect those he cares about. He is normally cowardly, as if the player highlights him in the Tag Barrel, he will shake his head and point at Tiny to try and get an excuse not to go. He also was afraid of [[Dogadon]], and dropped to his knees to beg him not to hurt him. He is also shown to be somewhat clumsy as he was seen causing accidents and messing up certain parts in the [[DK Rap]].

''Finally, he's here for you''<br>
''It's the last member of the DK crew''<br>
''This Kong's so strong, it isn't funny''<br>
''Can make a [[Kremling]] cry out for mummy''<br>
''Can pick up a [[boulder]] with relative ease''<br>
''Makes crushing rocks seem such a breeze''<br>
''He may move slow, he can't jump high''<br>
''But this Kong's one hell of a guy!''
*'''Instruction booklet bio from [[Cranky Kong|Professor Cranky Kong]]''' (page 8): "''Let me guess, this one’s the big guy? Sheesh, I don’t know how they come up with these names. Anyway, he’s Kiddy’s older brother and lists crushing, smashing and pounding [[Kremling]]s as his hobbies. Hey, perhaps there is a glimmer of hope for these bums after all. I bet he’s really slow though.''"
*'''[https://web.archive.org/web/20010606030858/http://rareware.com/recent/games/dk64/castlist/ Rarewhere]''': "''Older brother to '''DKC3''' co-star Kiddy, Chunky demonstrates just what the oversized toddler of the family could grow into. Huge boulders prove no obstacle to him, and neither do most Kremlings, so they'd better watch out if they get his usually cheery nature to take a turn for the worse. He might not be the quickest Kong in the world, but he's definitely handy to have around. ''"
*'''[[Nintendo Power|Player's Guide]]''' (page 5): "''He’s big. He’s bad. He plays the triangle. Chunky is something of a primate paradox: brutal when the situation demands it, yet almost meek at other times. He’s also not the sharpest knife in the drawer, so he’ll need all the help you can give him. If there’s heavy lifting to be done, however, Chunky is the monkey to see.''"
*'''BradyGAMES guide''' (page 6): "''The strongest Kong has the ability to pick up and move rocks and other items that no other Kong can budge. The strength comes at the cost of speed. Chunky is easily the slowest and least agile of the Kongs.''"
*'''VERSUS BOOKS guide''' (page 3): "''Chunky is the staple “slow but strong” character in DK64. But, he’s silly and can knock any enemy cold, so we like him. You should too!''"
*'''[[Prima Games]] guide''' (page 12): "''The biggest of the DK crew (and voted "most likely to smash things"), Chunky Kong isn't the brightest ape, but he can lift heavy things. Chunky is a power machine, with a few soft spots in his heart.<br>Chunky makes up for his slow and lumbering pace by being strong as a...gorilla.''"

''The giant ape, who is always in a good mood, feels most comfortable in company, especially when he can take part in a tournament of the best wrestlers.''

''Jeder fragt sich, warum der eigentlich so schwerfällige Chunky bei den Turnieren jedesmal gewinnt. Lanky meint, es liegt daran, daß er sich freudestrahlend jedem Gegner gegenüberstellt und ihn dadurch völlig aus der Fassung bringt.''
 
''Auch Chunky blieb von der Gefangennahme nicht verschont, und für ihn ist die Einsamkeit besonders schwer zu ertragen. Hoffentlich sind seine Freunde bald zur Stelle ...''

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Some of Chunky Kong's voice clips are reused from the 1952 {{wp|Disney}} cartoon ''{{wp|Pluto's Party}}'' and for [[Kudgel]]'s roars when he jumps down in the Game Boy Advance version of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2 (Game Boy Advance)|Donkey Kong Country 2]]''. This also applies to [[Bleak]] and [[King K. Rool|Baron K. Roolenstein]] in the Game Boy Advance version of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Donkey Kong Country 3]]''.
*In the [[Swanky's Bonus Bonanza]] in [[Krem Quay]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', one of the incorrect answers to the question "What is the name of the [[Funky Kong|trendy, surfing Kong]], who operates his barrel flights?" is "Chunky".
*Chunky is the only Kong out of the crew of ''Donkey Kong 64'' to not appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Barrel Blast]]'' despite it including his Pineapple Launcher. Chunky is also the only Kong from ''Donkey Kong 64'' to neither have a [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' nor ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]''.
*A [[List of rumors and urban legends#Chunky Kong in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U|rumor]] suggested that Chunky Kong appeared as an [[Assist Trophy]] character in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'', which was proven to be false upon the game's release.


==References==
*Chunky is the only Kong out of the crew of ''Donkey Kong 64'' to not appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Barrel Blast]]''. However, his pineapple launcher ''was'' included. He is also the only Kong from the crew of ''Donkey Kong 64'' without a trophy in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.

*According to the [[Microbuffer]] that serves the announcer for the fight against K. Rool in Donkey Kong 64, Chunky Kong weighs 2000 pounds at his normal size.
*When Chunky lands hard on the ground after falling several feet (and losing one Melon slice), when he first gets up, his torso and limbs shrink until he inflates those body parts back to their actual sizes.
