'''Rambi''' is a recurring rhinoceros [[Animal Friend]] who first appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. Rambi is a strong ally of the [[Kong]]s, and he can charge into enemies, attack with his horn, and break open fragile walls leading into a [[Bonus Level]]. Rambi only appears in a few select [[level]]s in every game that he appears in, or a single location.

While Rambi is mostly referred to with male pronouns, the ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]: [[Prima Games|Prima]] Official Game Guide'' refers to the character as "her".<ref>von Esmarch, Nick, and Cory van Grier. ''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze: Prima Official Game Guide''. Page 22. "''Rambi can destroy just about any object and every enemy without feeling pain. Just make sure an enemy doesn’t hit her from behind, and try to avoid those bottomless pits.''"</ref>
==History==
===''Donkey Kong Country'' series===
====''Donkey Kong Country''====
{{Quote|Keep your eyes peeled for Rambi the rhino! He can crash into almost any hidden room.|Cranky Kong}}
[[File:Jungle Hijinxs SNES 3.png|thumb|left|Rambi as he appears in ''Donkey Kong Country''.]]
[[File:F-Rambi.png|thumb|Rambi next to an "F" letter in the [[Game Boy Color]] version of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]].]]
In ''Donkey Kong Country'', [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] can ride Rambi after freeing him from his [[animal crate]]. Rambi can use his horn to break open fragile walls, like what [[barrel]]s can do. He can defeat most enemies by moving into them, including [[Zinger]]s. Like other Animal Friends, if Rambi gets hit by a level hazard (such as [[Mincer]]s or flaming [[oil drum]]s), he runs away. Rambi is the first Animal Friend encountered, and he appears in the first level, [[Jungle Hijinxs (Donkey Kong Country)|Jungle Hijinxs]], and later appears in [[Oil Drum Alley]] and [[Manic Mincers]].

Rambi is featured on some of the [[animal token]]s. When Donkey Kong and Diddy obtain three Rambi Tokens, the player is redirected to the "Rambi Bonus!"; this area is set in a snowy location, where the player controls Rambi individually and must have him collect [[mini Animal Token|mini Rambi Token]]s.

====''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''====
[[File:RambiRumbleSNES1.png|thumb|left|Rambi in his titular level, Rambi Rumble, in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'']]
Rambi reappears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', acting mostly the same as in ''Donkey Kong Country'', though his normal speed is slower. However, Rambi received the ability to perform a [[super move|supercharge]], which allows him to perform a fast charge to break open some walls (leading into [[bonus room]]s), or plow through enemies easily. Due to the introduction of [[Animal Barrel]]s, there are a few levels where [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] transform into Rambi, but there are still levels where they ride on him. His gray coloration from ''Donkey Kong Country'' is now tinted brown.

Rambi appears in a few levels. Similarly to ''Donkey Kong Country'', the first time that Rambi is in the first level, [[Pirate Panic (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Pirate Panic]], right after the [[Star Barrel]]. From there, the Kongs can optionally ride him until they cross the [[No Animal Sign]]. In this level, it is possible for two Rambis to be on-screen at the same time.{{ref needed}} Rambi appears a second time in [[Red-Hot Ride]], as well as a third time in [[Barrel Bayou (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Barrel Bayou]], though his crate and sign are near the start and Star Barrel, respectively. [[Rambi Rumble (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Rambi Rumble]] is Rambi's signature level and notably the first level where he can be transformed into from an [[Animal Barrel]], a requirement during the second half of the level. Rambi is chased by [[King Zing]] during a portion of the level, during which the "Run, Rambi! Run!" theme plays, although not in the [[Donkey Kong Country 2 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]], as it plays "Bad Bird Rag" instead. Rambi can be transformed into in two later levels: in [[Castle Crush]], during the first half, and in [[Animal Antics (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Animal Antics]], as the first Animal Friend used.

At [[Swanky's Bonus Bonanza]] in [[Krem Quay]], one of the questions that [[Swanky Kong]] asks is Rambi's name, with the incorrect answers being "Bambam" and "Rambus".

====''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' / ''Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D''====
[[File:RambiDKRC.png|thumb|left|Rambi breaking blocks depicting his face in ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'']]
Rambi reappears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]'' as one of the two returning Animal Friends (the other one is [[Squawks the Parrot]]). Rambi is the only Animal Friend that [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] can ride; to do so, Donkey Kong must first free Rambi by [[Hand Slap|Ground Pounding]] or [[Roll Attack|Rolling]] into his large animal crate. Rambi has the ability to run over spikes and destroy stone objects and blocks showing an emblem of his face. Rambi can instantly defeat most enemies just by running into them. Rambi's only weakness is fire, including the flaming enemies, [[Tiki Buzz|Flaming Tiki Buzzes]] and [[Fireball (Tiki)|Fireballs]]. The player loses Rambi if he gets in contact with fire but instead of dying instantly, he will instead walk away aimlessly, giving the Kongs the chance to get him back. Due to Rambi's weight, Diddy can only hover for one second when using his [[Barrel Jet]].

Rambi first appears in the third level, [[Tree Top Bop]]. He appears in a total of four levels, the other three being: [[Temple Topple]], [[Precarious Plateau]], and [[Smokey Peak]].

====''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze''====
[[File:Mountain Mania1.jpg|thumb|Dixie and Donkey Kong riding Rambi in Mountain Mania from ''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze'']]
Rambi reappears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' and its Nintendo Switch [[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Nintendo Switch)|port]], where he mostly retains the same role as in ''Donkey Kong Country Returns''. He is still vulnerable to fire and flaming enemies, such as [[Blue Hootz]]. In addition, [[Dixie Kong]] and [[Cranky Kong]] can make use of their respective ability while riding Rambi: [[Helicopter Spin]] and [[Cane Bounce]]. Dixie's Helicopter Spin is less effective while she is riding Rambi. In the [[Nintendo Switch]] version, [[Funky Kong]] is able to perform a [[Double Jump (airborne)|Double Jump]] while riding Rambi: like Cranky's Cane Bounce, the Double Jump is not affected by Rambi's weight.

Like ''Donkey Kong Country'', Rambi only appears in three levels: [[Mountain Mania]], [[Frantic Fields]], and [[Meltdown Mayhem]]. Unlike in the previous game, Rambi Crates cannot be broken by rolling into them.

===''Donkey Kong Land'' series===
====''Donkey Kong Land''====
In ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'', Rambi is only one of two Animal Friends that appear, the other one being [[Expresso the Ostrich]], and he appears in four [[level]]s: [[Jungle Jaunt]], [[Tricky Temple]], [[Pot Hole Panic (Donkey Kong Land)|Pot Hole Panic]], and lastly [[Mountain Mayhem]].

====''Donkey Kong Land 2''====
In ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', Rambi retains his supercharge abilty from ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', although Rambi can no longer break open walls leading to a Bonus Level since all of them are accessible from a [[Bonus Barrel]]. Diddy nor Dixie cannot can only transform into Rambi from a [[Animal Barrel|Rambi Barrel]] due to the absence of Animal Crates. Rambi appears in five levels: [[Gangplank Galley (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Gangplank Galley]], [[Redhot Ride]], [[Barrel Bayou (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Barrel Bayou]], [[Rambi Rumble (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Rambi Rumble]], and lastly [[Animal Antics (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Animal Antics]].

===''Donkey Kong in: Banana Day 24''===
In the ''[[Club Nintendo (magazine)|Club Nintendo]]'' comic ''[[Donkey Kong in: Banana Day 24]]'', Donkey Kong is briefly seen riding Rambi to an airport.

===''Donkey Kong 64''===
[[File:Rambi DK64 photo.png|thumb|upright=1.1|Rambi moving around Jungle Japes in ''Donkey Kong 64'']]
In ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', there is an animal crate of Rambi in [[Jungle Japes]], and it can only be entered by Donkey Kong. By entering it, Donkey Kong transforms into Rambi, which is required for him to obtain a [[Golden Banana]]. Rambi can move around quickly and easily defeat enemies just by moving into them. Rambi can destroy the nearby wooden huts and a stone barrier with his face on it. If Rambi goes out of bounds, he transforms back into Donkey Kong. Rambi is also controlled in one of Donkey Kong's [[Hideout Helm]] challenges, where the goal is to defeat 18 [[Kritter]]s while avoiding the electrical pylons. Rambi is featured in his own unlockable mode named [[Rambi Arena]], which, like the [[Enguarde Arena]], can be unlocked after the Kongs have taken photographs of six [[Banana Fairy|Banana Fairies]].

Rambi is mentioned and criticized by [[Cranky Kong]] in the instruction manual: "I just hope they've included poor old [[Winky the Frog|Winky]] and [[Expresso the Ostrich|Expresso]] this time instead of that bone-brained rhino that always seems to get in the games."

By exploiting a [[List of Donkey Kong 64 glitches#Bring Rambi outside of Jungle Japes|glitch]] to bring Rambi outside of his usual confines, the player can see a normally unused dogpaddling animation whenever he enters water.<ref>[[tcrf:Donkey_Kong_64#Unused_Animations|Donkey Kong 64 § Unused Animations]]. ''The Cutting Room Floor''.</ref>

===''Donkey Konga''===
[[File:DKa Jam Session mode.png|thumb|Rambi in the "Jam Session" mode of ''Donkey Konga'' (bottom-left)]]
Rambi reappears in ''[[Donkey Konga]]'' as a background character in two modes. In "Challenge", he appears at the bottom-left corner of the screen, next to the song number counter. In "Jam Session", he and the other background characters, including [[King K. Rool]], [[Cranky Kong]], [[Diddy Kong]], [[Ellie the Elephant|Ellie]] and the [[Banana Bird]]s, appear on the bottom screen while the player performs a "jam session". In this game, Rambi was drastically redesigned, where he was based more on a white rhinoceros.
{{br|left}}

===''Mario Kart'' series===
While Rambi himself does not appear in the ''Mario Kart'' series, the front of the [[Rambi Rider]], a [[kart]] from ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', is designed like Rambi's head. The kart returns in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', in the [[Jungle Tour]].

===''Donkey Kong Barrel Blast''===
In ''[[Donkey Kong Barrel Blast]]'', Rambi appears in the course [[Dynamite Run]], where the Kongs and [[Kremling]]s can ride Rambi by freeing him from his animal crate. Rambi increases the players' speed and has the ability to charge through barrels and boulders.

===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
Rambi has appeared as an item a few times in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]]. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Rambi is featured as both a [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]], which can be randomly obtained in one of the single-player modes, and as a [[Sticker (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|sticker]], which increases arm-based attacks by 13 points when used by any fighter in [[smashwiki:Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary|The Subspace Emissary]]. In ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'', another collectible trophy of Rambi appears. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' Rambi appears as an Ace-class Attack-type primary [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]] with one support slot. The spirit slightly increases movement speed in battle. In [[smashwiki:Adventure Mode: World of Light|World of Light]], the spirit is located in the northern part of [[smashwiki:Forest Hill|Forest Hill]], a sub-world of the Light Realm. The spirit's puppet fighter is a white Donkey Kong who can deal damage by dashing into the player, and is fought on the omega form of the [[Kongo Falls]] stage.

===Other appearances===
Rambi makes a cameo appearance in ''[[Picross NP]] Vol.8'' as one of the images that must be cleared.

In the [[Donkey Kong Adventure]] story of ''[[Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle]]'', one of [[Rabbid Peach]]'s [[List of weapons in Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle#Blaster|Blaster]] weapons, the [[List of weapons in Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle#Horn-Nosed Needler|Horn-Nosed Needler]], is based on Rambi's appearance. The weapon's description states that it is officially licensed Rambi merchandise.

A street named after Rambi appears in [[Metro Kingdom|New Donk City]] in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''.

In ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'', Rambi's head is seen in the [[emblem]] on some of the [[kart]]s built by the [[Great Kong Army]].

===Unused appearances===
====''Donkey Kong Racing''====
[[File:DK on Rambi Donkey Kong Racing.jpg|thumb|Donkey Kong riding a Rambi in the canceled ''Donkey Kong Racing'']]
Rambi was planned to be a rideable Animal Friend in the canceled [[Nintendo GameCube]] title, ''[[Donkey Kong Racing]]''. Early screenshots and the E3 2001 trailer showed [[Donkey Kong]] riding Rambi, [[Diddy Kong]] riding a gigantic Rambi, and [[Taj]] riding a small, red Rambi.

*'''[[Prima Games]] guide''' (page 23): ''In some of the levels, you will see wooden crates with a Rambi symbol on them, jump onto these crates and pound them to release Rambi. You can ride Rambi around a level. Rambi is great for busting through blocks, clearing out spikes, and bulldozing through enemies. You can climb off and then back onto a Rambi if you need to dismount for a while. Since you can’t blow while on Rambi, dismount if you need to deal with some flowers or other such objects. While Rambi is tough, stay away from flames and flaming enemies. Hitting these will cause Rambi to throw you off. Rambi will start to walk away, so get back on or you will lose the rhino.''

==Trivia==
*While Rambi himself does not appear in the ''[[Saturday Supercade]]'' episode "[[Hairy Parent]]" (due to the show predating ''Donkey Kong Country'' by roughly a decade), the climax of said episode involves Donkey Kong riding an ill-tempered rhino in a similar fashion that looks not unlike Rambi.
*Although Rambi never appeared in the [[Donkey Kong Country (television series)|animated series]], he was featured in a commercial for the Game Boy Color remake of the original ''Donkey Kong Country'' video game that featured Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, [[General Klump]], and [[Krusha (character)|Krusha]] in their designs from the show's second season, with Rambi presented in a very similar style.
