Donkey Kong takes the role of damsel-in-distress during ''[[Donkey Kong Jr. (game)|Donkey Kong Jr.]]'' In this game, Jumpman actually kidnaps Donkey Kong (to ship him back to the wild to ensure he will never kidnap Pauline again) and stands guard next to his cage with a whip, sending various enemies like [[Snapjaw]]s and [[Nitpicker]]s to attack [[Donkey Kong Jr.]] In the end, Donkey Kong Jr. defeats Mario to free Donkey Kong.

====''Donkey Kong 3''====

In ''[[Donkey Kong 3]]'', Donkey Kong is a main villain once again, although this time, he does not fight Mario (who had gone on to star in his own series and would not meet with Donkey Kong again until much later). In this game, Donkey Kong goes on a rampage inside a greenhouse, and a local exterminator called [[Stanley the Bugman]] is called in to defeat him (along with various insects that are destroying plants in the greenhouse). Donkey Kong uses a system of ropes to lower himself to the greenhouse floor. When he reaches the floor, the game ends, and Donkey Kong is able to destroy the rest of the greenhouse. After Stanley sprays Donkey Kong with insecticide three times to keep him off of the greenhouse floor, he runs away. In the final stage (though after this the first stage follows again, tougher than before), Donkey Kong is forced back and gets his head stuck in a beehive.

====''Super Smash Bros.''====

[[File:SSB_Giant_DK.png|thumb|left|150px|Giant Donkey Kong.]]

In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', DK is a default character. In one-player mode, the player must fight '''Giant Donkey Kong'''. This is the only fight in which the player is given two partners to help them instead of one. Giant Donkey Kong can withstand about 350% damage before being knocked off the stage.

 

====''Super Smash Bros. Melee''====

DK is also a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. Once again, he is a default character. In the new one-player mode, ''Adventure'', the player must first fight two Tiny Donkey Kongs and then fight Giant Donkey Kong at [[Jungle Japes]]. By picking up a [[Super Mushroom]], Donkey Kong can transform into Giant Donkey Kong for a few moments. A Giant Donkey Kong also appears 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.

=====[[Solid Snake]] Codec Conversation=====

*'''Snake''': [[Otacon]], there's a gorilla wearing a tie here. He's huge.

*'''Otacon''': That's Donkey Kong. As you can tell, he's got strength to spare. He may be king of the jungle, but he lives in a house just like you or me. And he seems pretty smart--well, for an ape, anyway. The Donkey Kong who fought that epic battle with Mario was this guy's grandfather.

 

=====Role in the [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl#Story|Subspace Emissary]]=====

[[File:SubspaceIntro-DonkeyKong.png|200px|thumb|right|Donkey Kong's snapshot in The Subspace Emissary.]]

The [[Koopa Troop]] and [[Bowser]] steal Donkey Kong's Banana Hoard. As a [[Hammer Bro.]] drives a car which contains all the bananas of Donkey Kong's. Donkey Kong watches it from a cliff. Hammer Bro. and the [[Goomba]]s aboard the car spot Donkey Kong and shoot [[Bullet Bill]]s at him. However, Diddy Kong comes out from a bush, and, with his [[Peanut Popgun]]s, shoots the Bullet Bills. Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong then follow the Hammer Bro. to retrieve the Banana Hoard. After following it, they see Bowser with a [[Dark Cannon]], revealing that he is working for the [[Subspace Army]]. When Bowser charges the cannon, Donkey Kong charges his Giant Punch. He then launches Diddy to the sky and out of the way, sacrificing himself. Bowser shoots him with the Dark Cannon, which turns him into a [[trophy]]. Later, [[Diddy Kong]], [[Fox McCloud]], and [[Falco Lombardi]] meet up with a ship carrying '''Donkey Kong''' as a trophy to a mysterious floating island. Falco then helps Diddy by following it with his Arwing and taking the little Kong with him. He then drops him, and Diddy gets on his '''Rocket Barrel''', takes out his Popguns, and shoots the ship. After seeing this, [[Captain Falcon]] and [[Captain Olimar]] decide to help him and jump to the ship. Diddy frees Donkey Kong, and all four fight the Primids and other enemies.
