The Spinning Kong in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.

Spinning Kong is one of Donkey Kong's special moves in the Super Smash Bros. series. It is executed by tilting up on the control stick and pressing the special attack button. As the name suggests, Donkey Kong spins his fists around him, letting him hit opponents and momentarily float. It can be used effectively as both a recovery move and an attack. The move's first hit, when Donkey Kong pulls back his fist, does decent knockback in comparison to the other hits.

In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, the move has two variants: Chopper Kong and Kong Cyclone. Chopper Kong increases Donkey Kong's vertical distance in exchange for doing no damage, and Kong Cyclone brings opponents towards him, with the final hit dealing more knockback, while being less damaging.
