Unlike most characters, who have some kind of special power, Donkey Kong relies mainly on his brute strength. He sometimes has the title of "The strongest of the Kongs", in spite of some Kongs like [[Chunky Kong]] and [[Sumo Kong]] being larger than Donkey Kong. In the original ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'' he had a seemingly unlimited supply of Barrels, and could throw them easily. This carried on to the ''Donkey Kong Country'' games, where he can pick up and throw Barrels with ease. Also in ''Donkey Kong Country'', he can defeat certain enemies that [[Diddy Kong]] cannot hurt with a single jump. In ''Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat'', his strength is shown yet again, it makes him so strong that when he claps, a sound-wave is produced, which is his main attack throughout the game. In the ending of ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'', Donkey Kong is shown to be strong enough to knock the moon out of its orbit and into the planet's atmosphere with a single punch (though the fact he was falling towards it at an alarming speed may have helped with it). | Unlike most characters, who have some kind of special power, Donkey Kong relies mainly on his brute strength.

Donkey Kong also appears to either immune or highly resistant to hypnosis since the [[ | Donkey Kong also appears to either immune or highly resistant to hypnosis since the [[Kalimba|Kalimba Tiki]] was unable to hypnotize him when it was easily able to do so to other animals on the island. In ''Donkey Kong 64'', he has a personal weapon, the [[Coconut Shooter]], and has a special ability called [[Strong Kong]] which allows him to become invincible and use up more Crystal Coconuts the longer he maintains the form. Donkey Kong also has some skill with musical instruments, to the point that he can even weaponize music and song in combat. This is demonstrated in ''Donkey Kong 64'', where Donkey Kong is talented in playing bongos and uses it to solve puzzles and attack surrounding enemies; the ability of playing bongos is also shown in the [[Donkey Konga (series)|''Donkey Konga'' games]]. In the ''Mario Strikers'' series, Donkey Kong is shown to wield electric powers, exerting bolts of lightning during his [[Super Strike]] and [[Mega Strike]]. | ||
Though his size and weight may suggest otherwise, Donkey Kong is deceptively fast and agile; in ''Mario Strikers: Battle League'', he break dances after scoring a goal and performs acrobatics while vine swinging in his victory scene. In ''Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat'' he is shown to be very proficient in hand to hand combat, delivering a vast amount of fast punches and kicks in a few seconds and is quick in countering the attacks he dodges, enabling him to contend with and defeat master martial artists like [[Karate Kong]] and [[Ninja Kong]] or physically stronger opponents like Sumo Kong. DK's speed and agility have also been consistently demonstrated throughout his appearances in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' franchise. | Though his size and weight may suggest otherwise, Donkey Kong is deceptively fast and agile; in ''Mario Strikers: Battle League'', he break dances after scoring a goal and performs acrobatics while vine swinging in his victory scene.
