Donkey Kong |
Donkey Kong (often abbreviated to just DK) is a brown-furred ape created by Nintendo. He first appeared as the main villain of the 1981 arcade game Donkey Kong while his grandson, also named Donkey Kong, appears as the titular main protagonist of Donkey Kong Country series.
Originally Mario's pet, Donkey Kong kidnaps Mario's then-girlfriend Pauline after making his escape. Mario manages to recapture him, only to be rescued by his son Donkey Kong Jr. The two later relocate to DK Isle where he then takes on the name "Cranky Kong". Years later, his grandson, donning his original name, then goes through various levels to reclaim his stolen banana horde from King K. Rool and his band of Kremlings, as well as collecting items such as Kong letters and puzzle pieces.
In M.U.G.E.N, Donkey Kong has been created several times by various creators. The most well known versions are Infiinma and Aperson98's versions of the character, which use sprites taken from the original Donkey Kong Country game. Another notable version is AxKing's version, which uses custom sprites using parts from SonSon and Sasquatch.
Infiinma's version
Possibly the earliest documented DK in M.U.G.E.N, this character is very simple. It only harbors basic attacks, but still is able to deal heavy amounts of damage from just its basics. It seems to also play more like a platformer character.
S.Nara's version
Would Donkey Kong ever be able to masquerade as both the ruler of Kongo Bongo and the god of thunder? Absolutely not; if it could happen, then the result would be this. Featuring strangely ripped sprites and coding with cheap aspects, this makes it nobody's hero.
Alexander Williams' version
Another version of Donkey Kong that is reasonably easy to pick up and play for beginners, as it offers simple Specials and Hypers at the press of a button. It was also made for Alexander Williams' Nintendo Fighters Remix fullgame.
AxKing's version
With it's lack of Hypers, crouching attacks, and combability, this Kong has no style. However, the first member of the DK crew has agility disproportionate to it's size, a simplistic, yet cheap AI, and infinites, meaning King K. Rool will still need to work hard to get to this Kong's banana horde
