'''Giant Donkey Kong''' (or simply '''Giant DK''') is an enhanced form of [[Donkey Kong]] that appears in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]]. In this form, DK is bigger, stronger and has more resistance to be knocked off the stage. However, due to his size, he is easier to hit.
'''Giant Donkey Kong''' is a form of [[Donkey Kong]]. Similarly to a [[Super Mario (form)|Super form]], it is an increase in size often triggered by [[Super Mushroom]]s. It has made several appearances as a boss fight in games where no other character can become gigantic.

Giant Donkey Kong first appears in ''[[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Donkey Kong]]'' for the [[Game Boy]] as the final boss, fought in [[Stage 9-9]] after DK assumes the form using a large quantity of Super Mushrooms. While his full body cannot be seen, he appears to be slightly taller than the [[Tower (world)|Tower]].


His first appearance is in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' as a boss. He is fought in the 1-Player Mode in the sixth stage. Because of his incredible power, two characters are offered to the player as partners.
Giant Donkey Kong's primary attack is slamming the tower, causing [[barrel]]s and [[barbell]]s to fall from overhead. He can only be damaged by [[Mario]] intercepting the barrels by kicking them from a [[handstand]], and then throwing them at him. However, the same attack that drops the barrels also destroys any that Mario hasn't thrown yet. As the fight continues, he also begins to slam his fists together to try to crush Mario, and to perform a one-handed slam that only causes barbells to fall. He is defeated after three barrels.


Giant Donkey Kong also appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' in two distinct places. In the Adventure Mode, he appears after the player defeats two Tiny Donkey Kongs, but unlike the previous game the player must fight him alone. The other appearance was in the Event Mode, in two particular events: First in event 2, where the player controls him and must defeat Tiny Donkey Kong; then in event 25 where the player must defeat him using [[Giant Bowser]]. Donkey Kong can transform into Giant Donkey Kong by using a [[Super Mushroom]] (it only lasts for brief moments) or playing Giant Melee.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Giant DK appears in three different events:

*First he appears as a secret opponent in Event 9: "The Monster beneath the Earth". If the player does not KO the two Diddy Kongs fast enough, Giant DK must be fought as well.
Starting from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', Super Mushrooms can appear in a match and can make any character, including DK, giant. Throughout the series, permanently-giant forms of other characters appear in various single-player modes, with the effects being the same as a Super Mushroom.
*He also appears in Event 22: "Monkeys Unite", as Diddy Kong's partner, in which the player uses Diddy to defeat [[Sheik]] and [[Lucario]].
*He is fought in Event 27: "Three-Beast Carnage" as well, alongside [[Giant Bowser]] and Giant Charizard.


DK can also transform into Giant DK by getting a Super Mushroom or by playing Giant Brawl. There is a bigger version of this DK in Donkey Kong '94.
Giant Donkey Kong appears in the second half of stage 2 of the Adventure Mode, fought on [[Jungle Japes (stage)|Jungle Japes]]. He is also the player character of Event 2: Lord of the Jungle.

History[edit]

Donkey Kong (Game Boy)[edit]

Giant Donkey Kong first appears in Donkey Kong for the Game Boy as the final boss, fought in Stage 9-9 after DK assumes the form using a large quantity of Super Mushrooms. While his full body cannot be seen, he appears to be slightly taller than the Tower.

Giant Donkey Kong's primary attack is slamming the tower, causing barrels and barbells to fall from overhead. He can only be damaged by Mario intercepting the barrels by kicking them from a handstand, and then throwing them at him. However, the same attack that drops the barrels also destroys any that Mario hasn't thrown yet. As the fight continues, he also begins to slam his fists together to try to crush Mario, and to perform a one-handed slam that only causes barbells to fall. He is defeated after three barrels.

Super Smash Bros. series[edit]

In Super Smash Bros., Giant DK also appears as a minor boss in Stage 6 of the 1P Game. He fights identically to DK aside from his increased size, increased resistance to knockback, and increased launch power of his attacks. He is fought on Congo Jungle, and the player has two CPU teammates to help them fight him.

Super Smash Bros. Melee[edit]

Starting from Super Smash Bros. Melee, Super Mushrooms can appear in a match and can make any character, including DK, giant. Throughout the series, permanently-giant forms of other characters appear in various single-player modes, with the effects being the same as a Super Mushroom.

Giant Donkey Kong appears in the second half of stage 2 of the Adventure Mode, fought on Jungle Japes. He is also the player character of Event 2: Lord of the Jungle. A particularly large Donkey Kong, about twice as large as even the Super Mushroom can make him, appears in Event 25: Gargantuans.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl[edit]

Super Smash Bros. Brawl's only appearances of Giant Donkey Kong outside the Super Mushroom item are four events: The Monster Beneath the Earth, Monkeys Unite, Three-Beast Carnage, and The Dark Guardians.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Giant Donkey Kong makes an appearance as the boss of Jigglypuff's Classic Mode route in a reference to the original Super Smash Bros., which the route is themed around.
