Chunky Kong is a character who debuted in Donkey Kong 64. His name is often wrongly applied to his younger brother, Kiddy Kong.

Chunky Kong is a big, strong ape that helps Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Tiny Kong, and Lanky Kong on their mission to defeat King K. Rool and his Kremling army. His weapon is a bazooka that launches pineapples. He is not as fast as the other Kongs, and cannot Jump as high as them, but he makes up for it with raw strength, being the only Kong who can lift large boulders.

After drinking Cranky's potions, Cranky can do a super strong hit, become super huge, and become invisible. Chunky's instrument is the triangle.

In the GameBoy Advance remake of Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble Chunky appears in one of Funky Kong's mini-games.

Trivia

  • A small controversy was aroused over Chunky Kong's verse in the Donkey Kong 64 opening rap song using the line "one hell of a guy". This line was later changed to "one heck of a guy" when included in Super Smash Bros. Melee on the Nintendo Gamecube.
