In ''Melee'', Spinning Kong was especially notable for hitting on Frame 3, while having [[intangibility]] on Frames 3-5. In the air it became only stronger, hitting on Frame 2 while still retaining the invincibility frames (2-5 specifically). Thanks to its large range, this made it among the most powerful ways to break combos in the game. The knockback on the grounded version was also quite staggering for its speed, KOing Mario from around 130% on Battlefield center stage with DI. | In ''Melee'', Spinning Kong was especially notable for hitting on Frame 3, while having [[intangibility]] on Frames 3-5.

In ''Brawl'', Spinning Kong also has the extremely rare ability to completely negate all momentum, both horizontally and vertically upon its first frame of activation. If used correctly (combined with good DI and use of his fast back aerial), Spinning Kong can prevent DK from getting KO'd and can survive longer than any character in the game, including Bowser. [[bucket braking|Bucket brakes]]'s [[momentum canceling]] is only considered superior because it does not put {{SSBB|Mr. Game & Watch}} in a helpless state. Additionally, Donkey Kong is completely unaffected by [[wind]] for the duration of the move, and even during the helplessness that follows.

In the first three games, the grounded move consists of only one hit dealing 10% damage. It has decent horizontal knockback, being an effective [[edgeguarding]] move, [[out of shield]] move and [[combo]] finisher. Additionally, when DK lands after using the move and he falls off the edge within the first few frames of landing, he will still be in [[helpless]] state. | In the first three games, the grounded move consists of only one hit dealing 10% damage.
