Overview

Donkey Kong's forward throw, also known as Kong Karry, allows him to maneuver around the stage while holding an opponent. During the move, Donkey Kong has access to four additional throws that he can use by holding a direction and pressing the attack button. All of them are potent kill throws, most notably back throw, especially on a stage with platforms. Up throw is a viable combo starter, being able to combo into up air at low percents. All four throws have the potential to stage spike opponents if Donkey Kong is positioned correctly, with down throw being the safest option, as it gives Donkey Kong a slight boost upwards.
