Giant Punch

Giant Punch is Donkey Kong's neutral special move in the Smash Bros. series.

Overview
The Giant Punch is a wind-up punch attack that, when landed, will heavily damage the opponent. It is charged by holding the "B" button. The charge can be canceled by shielding or pressing left or right while Donkey Kong is charging. Tilting the control stick left or right will make Donkey Kong roll in that direction. Once fully charged, DK will be tinted white and have steam come out of his head. The punch can be executed by pressing "B".

In Smash Bros. Melee and Brawl, using it in mid air will put him in a "helpless" position.

The attack itself does not seem to be derived from any previous Donkey Kong titles prior to the original Super Smash Bros., where it was introduced; however it is worth noting Donkey Kong uses a similar move to the Giant Punch in the ending of Donkey Kong Country Returns.
