The '''Spinning Kong''' is [[Donkey Kong]]'s [[up special move]]. In terms of vertical recovery, this move goes a very short distance, but it goes almost as far horizontally as Meta Knight's [[Mach Tornado]], making it a fairly effective recovery move. When used on the ground, the Spinning Kong can be used in a fashion similar to Bowser's [[Whirling Fortress]]; it can be used out of the shield, or as a disruptive tactic. The Spinning Kong's first hit, in which Donkey Kong extends his fist to charge up the spin, has decent knockback. The Spinning Kong can also act as a pseudo shield for some projectiles which is helpful when recovering. | The '''Spinning Kong''' is [[Donkey Kong]]'s [[up special move]].

In ''Brawl'', the grounded version grants [[launch resistance]] just before hitting the opponent and Donkey Kong falls on his back after finishing the move, leaving him vulnerable for a moment. There is also a glitch which if he leaves the ground when using the grounded version, the launch resistance lasts for the entire move. | ||
