Line 331 ⟶ 328:
Donkey Kong is invincible during the move. Unfortunately he is also unable to move, making the move very risky to use on scrolling stages that require the player to keep on moving (ironically, this is a requirement in one of Donkey Kong's very own stages in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', [[Rumble Falls]]).

===''Donkey Konga'' series===
====''Donkey Konga''====
Donkey Kong discovers a magical set of bongos on a beach. Once Cranky Kong realizes his grandson’s potential for being a professional, Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong set out to become famous. On their travels, they revisit many locales and play popular songs through cooperative performances and musical face-offs.
 
====''Donkey Konga 2''====
When Dixie Kong joins Donkey and Diddy for a practice session, the trio realizes their potential for musical chemistry. Shortly after, they set out on another tour, which is very similar to Donkey and Diddy Kong's first one. However, they change up their song list to include current popular songs of the time.
 
===''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' series===
Line 356 ⟶ 346:
====''Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem''====
In ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem]]'', Donkey Kong arrives at the newly-opened Mini-Land to desperately get a [[Mini Pauline]], only to find out that he is the 101st guest to arrive and it sold out after 100. Donkey Kong gets incredibly mad and, in his rage, kidnaps the real Pauline, forcing Mario and his force of Mini Marios to rescue her. In the end, its shown DK is given a Pauline doll by Mario and the trio rides the Ferris wheel together.
 
===''Donkey Kong Jungle Beat''===
[[File:DonkeyKong DKJB.jpg|thumb|left|Donkey Kong uses his [[Sound Wave Attack]] to destroy his opponents. This also appeared in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''.]]
In ''[[Donkey Kong Jungle Beat]]'', it is never clear what compelled Donkey Kong to travel to the [[Banana Kingdom]] and its sister lands. Nevertheless, the ape sets out on a mission to take down the possessed [[Dread Kong]] who ruled it. Upon doing so, he sets out to the other nearby kingdoms. Utilizing his great strength, Donkey Kong, with no support other than his own, fights through sixteen such kingdoms, eventually conquering the evil [[Cactus King]]. After the fight, the other kings meet Donkey Kong, now free of [[Sumo Kong]]’s curse. Presumably, Donkey Kong allows them to resume their duties. Donkey Kong may not have had honorable intentions for entering the kingdoms, instead desiring more bananas and to improve his reputation. Donkey Kong's personality in this game is drastically different from his previous incarnations, most noticeably in his aggressiveness.
 
===''DK'' series===
====''DK: King of Swing''====
Donkey Kong has more work to do during ''[[DK: King of Swing]]''. It is time for the annual Jungle Jam, a festival for the Kongs. However, King. K. Rool returns and steals all of the medals needed to have the festival. Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong go after him to get the medals back. In the end, they defeat K. Rool, and the festival is celebrated.
 
====''DK: Jungle Climber''====
In ''[[DK: Jungle Climber]]'', Donkey Kong, along with Diddy, Dixie, Cranky, Wrinkly, Funky, and Candy, is resting on the beach when Diddy notices a giant banana. Donkey Kong, Diddy, and Cranky go up to the top and find a [[Banana Spaceship]]. Donkey Kong fights this spaceship and finds [[Xananab]]. They find that K. Rool and the Kremlings have escaped with his five Crystal Bananas, and he needs them back. Donkey Kong and friends agree, and the four travel through the islands, going through wormholes and other lands, such as Glass Labyrinth, Toybox, and Veggie Patch. At the end of each island, Donkey Kong fights one of K. Rool's assistant Kremlings and eventually defeats the third Kremling. K. Rool then flees to the [[King Kruiser IV]]. Donkey Kong chases him and eventually reaches K. Rool's spaceship. There, he defeats the fourth Kremling as K. Rool goes through a wormhole. Donkey Kong follows, and the group lands on Xananab's home planet. There, they fight K. Rool, which is no easy task. Eventually, the DK Crew once again wins, and Donkey Kong, Diddy, and Cranky get to eat as many bananas as they desire.
 
===''Mario Baseball'' series===
Line 376 ⟶ 355:
In ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]'', Donkey Kong is mostly unchanged. He still uses a boxing glove to bat. His Star Pitch and Star Swing are also altered to [[Barrel Ball]] and [[Barrel Swing]], which involve him throwing a barrel. He has also lost his Laser Ball ability. As for his stats, Donkey Kong has better batting, but with worse fielding and even worse running. His pitching also lost one point, but it remains above-average. In this game, DK has good chemistry with Diddy Kong, Dixie Kong, [[Tiny Kong]], [[Funky Kong]] and [[Baby Donkey Kong]], and his chemistry with [[Kritter]] and [[King K. Rool]] is bad, which is odd considering that they are on DK's team. DK has the second highest batting stat in this game, only surpassed by [[Bowser]], King K.Rool and Petey Piranha.

===''Donkey Kong Barrel Blast''===
[[File:Normal donkeykong.jpg|thumb|left|DK, as he appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Barrel Blast]]''.]]
DK and his friends then decide to go on a new adventure, a race with a plethora of Kremlings and their leader, K. Rool. Donkey Kong and his friends and foes alike compete in the Jungle Grand Prix, in which everyone rides on jet-powered bongos. His rival in this game is a [[Kritter]], and his stats are all average.
