“H-Help me! Chunky d-doesn't like heights!”

Chunky Kong is a character from the Donkey Kong series. He is the strongest of the Kong Family but is somewhat meek. His first appearance was in Donkey Kong 64. He is the cousin of Tiny Kong and Dixie Kong as well as the older brother of Kiddy Kong.

History

Donkey Kong 64

File:KongClan.PNG

Chunky Kong with his friends.

In Donkey Kong 64, Chunky is one of the Kongs captured by the Kremling Krew at the start of the game. Chunky is found in Frantic Factory in the Storage Room, where he is rescued by Lanky Kong. Once Chunky is free, he can collect green bananas, coins, and Blueprints.

Chunky Kong fights the boss of the Fungi Forest, which is a rematch with Dogadon; when he defeats him, he gains one of the keys to K. Lumsy's cage. In Fungi Forest he has to go through a minecart ride in the well and collect a certain amount of coins to get a Golden Banana.

During the final battle against King K. Rool, Chunky is the final Kong to go up against the Kremling King. At the start of the fight, K. Rool will turn invisible and Chunky has to use the Chunky pad to turn invisible and see the Chunky barrel in the middle. Chunky then turns into a giant and is able to knock K. Rool against the opposite corner as he charges for him. Eventually, K. Rool is knocked out by Chunky. He celebrates his victory as K. Rool gets up with the intent of attacking Chunky before being distracted by Candy Kong and shot with a bazooka by Funky Kong.

Throughout the game, Chunky gains a variety of bizarre abilities from drinking Cranky Kong's various potions or buying from Funky and Candy. His first individual ability is Primate Punch, while the second is Hunky Chunky, and the third one is Gorilla Gone. Chunky's weapon is the Pineapple Launcher. His instrument is triangle; with this he can use the Triangle Trample. Aside from this he can learn Simian Slam, Super Simian Slam and Super Duper Simian Slam, which all Kongs use.

During the DK Rap in the intro, Chunky also briefly wore a 1970s-era disco outfit, although he quickly changed into his regular outfit as soon as he realizes that none of the other Kongs are wearing the outfit.

"Donkey Kong in When the Banana Splits"

In the comic Donkey Kong in When the Banana Splits, Chunky helps the other Kongs track down King K. Rool when he steals the Golden Bananas. Chunky is the first one to attack the Kremlings, leading to a large battle between them and all of the Kongs. Chunky and his companions eventually emerge victorious, and return home with the Golden Bananas. In the comic, he is incorrectly drawn with teeth for an unknown reason.

Donkey Kong Country 3

Chunky appears in one of Funky Kong's minigames in the Game Boy Advance remake of Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!. Here, he is one of the Kongs that appears in the water and has to be protected from being taken away by boats with Kremlings on them.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Chunky Kong appears as a Sticker in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It can only be used by Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong, and it boosts throwing power by 31.

Powers and abilities

Chunky Kong is physically the strongest of the Kongs, able to easily lift and toss boulders that not even Donkey Kong can move. However, he is the slowest of the heroes and cannot jump very high.

Chunky Kong's abilities from Donkey Kong 64:

From Cranky's potions:
- Simian Slam: He can press green buttons with his face on them.
- Super Simian Slam: He can press blue buttons with his face on them.
- Super Duper Simian Slam: He can press red buttons with his face on them.
- Primate Punch: With this ability he can perform a powerful punch that is capable of breaking large doors among other things.

  The Hunky Chunky Barrel
- Hunky Chunky: With the help of Crystal Coconuts he can turn into a giant and pick up large objects, as well as hit large switches. He can also climb up the thick palm trees in the secret area of Jungle Japes that he couldn't at his normal size, though the other Kongs cannot climb up the thick palm trees. While he is in this form, the thin palm trees and all types of the pads are absent, and the Tag Barrel is translucent.
- Gorilla Gone: With the help of his Kong Pad he can turn invisible and see invisible things.
From other Kongs:
- Triangle Trample: He uses a triangle which can defeat almost every enemy and could also make special things happen when used on a Music Pad
- Pineapple Launcher: He can shoot pineapples to damage enemies and to activate switches.

Personality

Chunky is portrayed as the strong character, but with a sweet personality. Chunky is sweet and gentle and prefers not to fight unless he has to in order to help or protect those he cares about. He's normally cowardly, as if the player highlights him in the Tag Barrel, he'll shake his head and point at Tiny to try and get an excuse not to go. He also was afraid of Dogadon, and dropped to his knees to beg him not to hurt him. Despite that, Chunky can gather up courage to help out those in need.

MX vs. ATV is a racing video game franchise developed by Rainbow Studios and published by Nordic Games that focuses on off-road racing. The series was formerly published by THQ until its bankruptcy and liquidation. As the name suggests, the series' main focus is racing with motocross bikes and all-terrain vehicles, although other vehicles such as dune buggies and sport trucks were also featured in the games. Players can also fly airplanes and helicopters in some of the games.[1] There are five games in the series (Unleashed, Untamed, Reflex, Alive, and Supercross), as well as a PlayStation Portable port of Unleashed called On the Edge.

On August 9, 2011, THQ announced that it would shutter THQ Digital Phoenix (which Rainbow Studios was known as at the time), as well as other game development studios, and not "actively pursue further development" of the MX vs. ATV franchise in a company reorganization.[2][3]

In April 2013, Nordic Games acquired the franchise through the liquidation of THQ.[4] In December 2013, they announced a new title in the series, MX vs. ATV: Supercross, due for release of September 9, 2014 on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Microsoft Windows, OS X and Linux, which was pushed back to October 28, 2014 for fixes.[5]

Trivia

In the Swanky's Bonus Bonanza in Krem Quay in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, one of the answers to the question "What is the name of the trendy, surfing Kong, who operates his barrel flights?" is "Chunky".
Chunky is the only Kong out of the crew of Donkey Kong 64 to not appear in Donkey Kong Barrel Blast. His pineapple launcher, however, was included. He is also the only Kong from the crew of Donkey Kong 64 without a trophy in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.
According to the Microbuffer that serves the announcer for the fight against K. Rool in Donkey Kong 64, Chunky Kong weighs 2000 pounds at his normal size.
When Chunky lands hard on the ground after falling several feet (and losing one Melon slice), when he first gets up, his torso and limbs shrink until he inflates those body parts back to their actual sizes.
