# '''Spinning Kong''': Default. | # '''Spinning Kong''': Default. | ||
# '''Chopper Kong''': Launches DK straight up, regardless of whether he is airborne or grounded. Gives better vertical distance and ascends much faster, but horizontal distance is reduced, and the move does no damage. | # '''Chopper Kong''': Launches DK straight up, regardless of whether he is airborne or grounded.

# '''Kong Cyclone''': Creates a tornado around DK that sucks opponents in from all directions. The attack portion of the move is much faster and only deals two hits; a weak attack at the beginning, and a stronger attack with KO potential at the end, and Donkey Kong gains super armor for the duration of the spin. This move also has soft and hard landing lag; if Donkey Kong is very close to the ground once using Kong Cyclone in the air, he receives minimal landing lag; otherwise, he suffers extreme landing lag. The grounded version deals 19% damage and the aerial version deals 15%. When used on the ground, the spin is parallel to the ground like in Melee and Brawl, rather than tilted like the default. | # '''Kong Cyclone''': Creates a tornado around DK that sucks opponents in from all directions.

[[Dixie Kong]]'s [[mariowiki:Helicopter Spin|ability to spin]] in midair to slow her descent was introduced in ''{{s|mariowiki|Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest}}''; this ability also caused her horizontal movement in the air to dramatically increase, not unlike the ability utilized by Donkey Kong in ''Smash Bros''. While Donkey Kong himself has never used the move prior to ''Super Smash Bros.'', the overall animation for Spinning Kong is similar to Dixie Kong's spinning ability, though Donkey Kong instead uses his arms to hover instead of Dixie Kong's ponytail. {{s|mariowiki|Tiny Kong}} also utilized a similar [[mariowiki:Pony Tail Twirl|spinning ability]] in ''{{s|mariowiki|Donkey Kong 64}}''; however, ''Super Smash Bros.'' was released prior to ''Donkey Kong 64''. Dixie's own spinning ability is also retained in sequels to ''Donkey Kong Country 2''; notably, in ''{{s|mariowiki|Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze}}'', it is changed to grant Dixie (as well as Donkey Kong) further vertical distance covered in addition to a somewhat slowed descent, making it somewhat more comparable to the ability utilized by Donkey Kong in ''Smash Bros''. | [[Dixie Kong]]'s [[mariowiki:Helicopter Spin|ability to spin]] in midair to slow her descent was introduced in ''{{s|mariowiki|Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest}}''; this ability also caused her horizontal movement in the air to dramatically increase, not unlike the ability utilized by Donkey Kong in ''Smash Bros''.
