==History==
In ''Donkey Kong Jungle Beat'', Sumo Kong is the ruler of the [[Star Fruit Kingdom]], the sixteenth kingdom [[Donkey Kong]] ventures through. Donkey Kong's battle with Sumo Kong takes place in space on an asteroid field with [[Earth]] in the background. After a long fist-fight with Sumo Kong, Donkey Kong was victorious in battle and went on to do battle with the colossal [[Ghastly King]].
Sumo Kong is fought by [[Donkey Kong]] at the end of the [[Star Fruit Kingdom]], on an asteroid field within space, where [[Earth]] can be seen in the background. The battle requires quick reactions from Donkey Kong. When Sumo Kong is about to attack Donkey Kong, he must punch the side where Sumo Kong's arm is lifted. After this, Sumo Kong tries to push Donkey Kong with his hand. The player must clap to have Donkey Kong dodge or duck from Sumo Kong's attacks. After Sumo Kong takes a few more hits, he is defeated, and Donkey Kong can move on to face the final boss, the [[Ghastly King]].


Sumo Kong and the other Kong bosses appear once more in the ending, during the ceremony, where they honor Donkey Kong's victory over the Ghastly King.
