Donkey Kong is a character that represents the "DK Rap" meme. He is a contestant in the King for Another Day Tournament. He also has a minor cameo role in the Christmas Comeback Crisis.
Summary[]
Donkey Kong is a brown gorilla with a red necktie with his initials on it, serving as the protagonist of the game series of the same name and a recurring character in Mario spinoff games. The original Donkey Kong was the barrel-throwing antagonist in the arcade game Donkey Kong where both he and Mario debuted; he reappeared in two sequels before disappearing from gaming for a while as Mario had proved to be much more popular.
The modern incarnation of Donkey Kong, stated to be either the son or grandson of the original (now known as Cranky Kong), debuted in Donkey Kong Country, and since then has made numerous appearances in his own games and Mario spinoff games, as well as a few spinoffs of his own, gaining numerous Kong friends and various enemies in the process. In Donkey Kong 64, he's the character you start as and he must rescue the other four on his quest to retrieve the Golden Bananas. Each character gets a ranged weapon, and DK's is of course the Coconut Gun.
Christmas Comeback Crisis[]
Donkey Kong was one of the figments materialized into the real world by the Voice Inside Your Head in "Prologue", before being immediately taken by the Patrol-Bots. As of "Loves the Ladies", he is still in captivity.
King for Another Day Tournament[]
- "Here he comes, banana slamma! Straight from the hit CGI television series, Donkey Kong swings into action. He’s bigger, faster, and stronger than ever, and ready to prove himself ready to rule the isle of Kongo Bongo. With a sourcelist featuring all the awesome music from his TV show and more, he’s sure to take advantage of this rare opportunity!"
- —Donkey Kong's description on the MOJO!!
Donkey Kong was revealed in the "SiIvaGunner: King for Another Day Tournament Direct 9.21.2019". It is worth noting that the Donkey Kong that appears in the tournament is the cartoon version of Donkey Kong, rather than the game version which was seen the CCC.
In Round 1, Donkey Kong faced Eminem and won, but then lost to Jack & Elmo. He then won against Thanos in the Losers Bracket, but then ended up losing to MissingNo..
