==Trivia==
In the [[List of Donkey Kong Jungle Beat pre-release and unused content|pre-release version]] of ''Donkey Kong Jungle Beat'', a villainous, gray-furred Donkey Kong with glowing, red pupils was fought instead of Dread Kong.

* The name Dread Kong is probably derived from the dreadlocks Dread Kong has in his hair.
*Dread Kong did not exist in the [[Donkey Kong Jungle Beat/Beta elements|beta version]] of ''Donkey Kong Jungle Beat''. It was instead, an evil-looking Donkey Kong look-alike with grey fur, black eyes, and glowing red pupils.
*Interestingly enough, without dreadlocks, Dread Kong resembles Donkey Kong in appearance, suggesting that the Beta version was a prototype.
