Giant DK first appeared as a non-playable character in Stage 6 of ''Super Smash Bros.''{{'}} [[1P Game]]. Giant DK has a large amount of [[knockback]] resistance, while his own attacks have increased knockback capable of KOing opponents more easily on top of having increased range due to his size, making him a formidable opponent; however, the player is given two regular-sized [[AI]] partners to help out. On higher [[Difficulty|difficulties]], Giant DK behaves more similarly to a level 9 CPU while the player's partners are lower in level. It is possible to exploit Giant DK's AI, making him walk back and forth on the top platform, similar to [[Metal Mario]] along with his size making him a larger target to attacks. However, it is harder due to AI partners jumping into him or attacking him which will often interfere with his pattern. | Giant DK first appeared as a non-playable character in Stage 6 of ''Super Smash Bros.''{{'}} [[1P Game]].

It is possible to play as Giant DK using a [[debug menu]] code. Unlike the other unique boss, Metal Mario, Giant DK is considered to be better than his unchanged counterpart due to his greater jab range. He is, however, prone to being [[chain grab|chain grabbed]], such as by {{SSB|Captain Falcon}} or {{SSB|Pikachu}}. Despite being his own unique, separate character, he has the exact same head icon as {{SSB|Donkey Kong}}. | |||

Giant DK appears at the end of the | In ''Melee'', Giant DK is essentially regular {{SSBM|Donkey Kong}} with a permanent [[Super Mushroom]] upgrade (and can thus be temporarily playable that way or played permanently using Action Replay's Auto-Mushroom cheat). Giant DK appears at the end of the second stage of [[Adventure Mode]], after defeating two tiny Donkey Kongs. Giant DK is also very exploitable; by standing perfectly still or moving slightly towards the edge, depending on character, it is possible to bait him into using an [[f-air]] or [[n-air]] and falling into the water, resulting in a free win. This is much more likely on higher difficulties due to the more aggressive AI, and is a common speedrunning tactic for this stage. Additionally, in {{SSBM|Classic Mode}}, like all giant characters, Giant DK has a chance of appearing on Stage 5 as a random giant opponent. | ||
Aside from those two appearances, [[Event 25: Gargantuans]] features an immensely large Donkey Kong (over twice as large as the normal Super Mushroom ''Giant DK'') as an opponent, while the player is [[Giant Bowser]] (also bigger than normal like ''Giant DK''), with a super tiny {{SSBM|Mario}} and {{SSBM|Peach}} also present. | |||

Giant DK returns in ''Brawl'' in a similar fashion as in ''Melee'', as a regular {{SSBM|Donkey Kong}} permanently equipped with a [[Super Mushroom]]. Giant DK appears in four [[event match]]es: in [[Event 9: The Monster Beneath the Earth]], if the player can't [[KO]] the two {{SSBB|Diddy Kong}}s in time, they must fight Giant DK; in [[Event 22: Monkeys Unite]], Giant DK appears as Diddy Kong's ally to defeat {{SSBB|Sheik}} and {{SSBB|Lucario}}; in [[Event 27: Three-Beast Carnage]], Giant DK returns with [[Giant Bowser]] and Giant {{SSBB|Charizard}}, attacking [[New Pork City]]; finally, in [[Co-Op Event 14: The Dark Guardians]], {{SSBB|Ganondorf}} and {{SSBB|Wolf}} must defeat Giant Charizard and Giant DK, again on New Pork City.

The closest analogue to Giant Donkey Kong in the {{uv|Donkey Kong}} series is the final boss battle of ''{{iw|mariowiki|Donkey Kong|Game Boy}}'' for Game Boy, where the title character used [[Super Mushroom]]s to become much larger and fought [[Mario]] atop the Tower that comprised World 9.
