'''Donkey Kong''' ({{ja|ドンキーコング|Donkī Kongu}}, ''Donkey Kong'') is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. He was confirmed on June 12th, 2018.

==Changes from ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''==
===Aesthetics===
*{{change|Donkey Kong now always faces the screen regardless of which direction he turns.}}
*{{change|Like most of the returning roster, Donkey Kong has become much more expressive than in the previous games.}}
*{{change|Up taunt has an altered animation.}}
*{{change|Donkey Kong now hangs onto the ledge with one hand instead of two.}}

===Ground Moves===
*{{change|Forward smash has an altered animation.}}
*{{change|Cargo throw now involves Donkey Kong hauling the opponent over his shoulder similar to his appearance in the arcade game ''Donkey Kong''.}}

===Aerial Attacks===
*{{change|Forward aerial has an altered animation, with Donkey Kong performing a downwards punch without flipping, now looking identical to his aerial attack in ''{{s|dkwiki|Donkey Kong 64}}''.}}
*{{buff|Foward aerial is significantly faster.}}

===Special Moves===
*{{buff|Donkey Kong can now use [[Giant Punch]] in midair without going into free fall.}}
*{{change|Donkey Kong now charges up [[Giant Punch]] with more circular arm motions. Additionally, his expression slowly gets angrier as he charges (including maintaining the expression throughout other animations after its charge), and he has an altered pose upon using the punch.}}
*{{change|Donkey Kong now glints and strikes a pose upon ending a grounded [[Spinning Kong]].}}
*{{change|Donkey Kong now has a new, yet unnamed [[Final Smash]] that comprises of a single punch that, if successfully landed, leads to a series of rapid punches that traps and launches the opponent, based off of his attacks in ''{{s|dkwiki|Donkey Kong Jungle Beat}}''.}}
