The '''Pineapple Launcher''' is the name of [[Chunky Kong]]'s personal weapon in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''.


The Pineapple Launcher is a single hand wooden bazooka that shoots [[pineapple]]s. How Chunky Kong fires his Pineapple Launcher is unknown because there does not seem to be a trigger.  
The Pineapple Launcher is a single hand bazooka that shoots [[pineapple]]s. How Chunky fires his Pineapple Shooter is actually unknown (because there doesn't seem to be a switch).


The Pineapple Launcher can be purchased by Chunky Kong from [[Funky Kong]] for three [[Banana Coin|coin]]s at [[Funky's Store]] in the area [[Frantic Factory]] or any other area after Chunky Kong has been rescued. With the Pineapple Launcher Chunky Kong gains the ability to shoot [[Banana Balloon]]s, hit [[Target Switch|Pineapple Switches]], and snipe enemies from afar. The Pineapple Launcher is the most powerful weapon used by the Kongs in the game's Adventure Mode. In the multiplayer mode, the [[Orange grenade launcher]] used by [[Krusha]] is the strongest weapon.  
The Pineapple Launcher can be purchased by Chunky Kong from [[Funky Kong]] for three coins at [[Funky's Armory]] in the area [[Frantic Factory]] or any other area. With the Pineapple Launcher Chunky gains the ability to shoot Banana Balloons, hit [[Target Switch|Pineapple Switches]] and snipe enemies from afar.


Further into ''Donkey Kong 64'' special upgrades to the Pineapple Launcher (as well as other weapons) can be purchased at Funky's Store. Some of these upgrades include a larger ammo capacity, a sniper scope and enemy-seeking ammo.

This weapon makes an appearance as an item in ''[[Donkey Kong Barrel Blast]]''. Ironically, Chunky Kong does not appear in this game.
This weapon makes an appearance as an item that appears from a [[Balloon (Donkey Kong Barrel Blast)|blue balloon]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Barrel Blast]]''. The Pineapple Launcher fires a pineapple at the racer in front of the player, though opponents can jump over the pineapples. When used by a [[Kremling]], the Pineapple Launcher fires two pineapples at once. A player that gets hit by a pineapple will lose ten [[banana]]s. If a pineapple cannot find an opponent, it will home into the nearest barrel and destroy it.  
It could've been possible the Pineapple Launcher would've looked like a real bazooka in the beta version and changed it for the E ratings. However, it is not clearly confirmed.

==Trivia==
*Chunky Kong carries the Pineapple Launcher in his right hand like other Kongs, however he uses his left hand to squeeze the trigger while standing in place or aiming, but squeezes the trigger in his right hand while he is moving.
