'''Donkey Kong''' ({{ja|ドンキーコング|Donkī Kongu}}, ''Donkey Kong'') is a character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. He was first shown very briefly at the [[E3]] 2007 press conference. Rather than utilizing the recycled animal sounds from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' or being voiced by Grant Kirkhope or Takashi Nagasako (who voiced Donkey Kong starting with ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario Power Tennis}}''), Donkey Kong now uses modified tiger sounds sourced from the ''The Best of Saul Zaents Film Center'' CD included with Sound Ideas' ''Amadeus Sound Library''.

Donkey Kong is currently ranked 21st out of 38 on the [[tier list]] in the mid tier. This is a slight improvement over his ranking in ''[[Melee]]'', where he is ranked 16th out of 26 in the lower mid tier. Donkey Kong possesses a combination of incredible power with many great finishers (especially in his [[smash attack]]s), and incredible [[reach]] in his attacks. Along with this power and reach combination, Donkey Kong possesses remarkably good mobility for a character of his size, and many fast attacks (such as his [[back aerial]] and [[tilt]]s). Additionally, Donkey Kong possesses by far the greatest horizontal endurance with his great [[weight]] and [[Spinning Kong]] [[momentum cancelling#Horizontal momentum cancelling|momentum cancelling]], as well as one of the strongest vertical endurances, and a [[recovery]] that gains great horizontal distance while protecting Donkey Kong's sides, making him one of the hardest characters to KO. Donkey Kong's incredible weight is a double-edged sword, however; while it makes him incredibly difficult to KO, it also makes him incredibly easy to [[combo]], [[juggle]], and [[chain throw]], including making him vulnerable to [[infinite]] and zero to death chain grabs (most notoriously from {{SSBB|King Dedede}}). Additional problems of Donkey Kong include most of his attacks having heavy ending [[lag]] (making it easy to [[punish]] most of his attacks if he misses), being very vulnerable to [[meteor smash]] gimps due to his recovery gaining very little vertical distance, his undersized [[shield]] leaving him heavily vulnerable to [[shield stabbing]], and lack of a [[projectile]], which when combined with his very large size and aforementioned shield issue, gives Donkey Kong almost no means of dealing with [[camp]]ing. While his [[roll]]s and [[air dodge]] are about average, his [[sidestep]] is the second slowest, after {{SSBB|Bowser}}. Overall, while Donkey Kong sports good [[matchup]]s against lower-tiered characters that lack tools to deal with his power, he heavily struggles against higher-tiered characters that can chain grab him, and has achieved average [[tournament]] results over the game's competitive lifespan.
