Event Match 2: Lord of the Jungle is the second of the 51 Event Matches in the Event mode of Super Smash Bros. Melee. It is a two-stock match between the player's giant Donkey Kong and a tiny Donkey Kong.
This is the only event match that takes place on the DK Island: Kongo Jungle stage.
Layout
After selecting Event 2 from the Event mode menu, the match automatically begins with you playing as Giant Donkey Kong vs. Tiny Donkey Kong on the DK Island: Kongo Jungle stage. You spawn on the lower left of the big center platform while Tiny Donkey Kong spawns above on an elevated platform. Both combatants have two lives in stock. The stage has a 3:00 time limit for completion.
The object of the match is to KO Tiny Donkey Kong twice. This match would appear to be a joke level based on how much the match is in your favor based on your power and size and your opponent's lack thereof, but the AI, most likely Level 3, jumping tendencies, and tiny size adds up to an opponent that is rather easy to miss with strong hits and your giant size hinders maneuvering around the stage much. However, it IS a joke compared to later event matches.
Strategies
This is not a tough Event match in terms of the probability of losing, but it will seem tricky to win because your strong attacks and grabs will miss at times because they are too high while tiny DK is too small if both are standing on the ground. To properly attack tiny DK, use low attacks and your B down or your forward smash (Forward A) smash move when both are on the ground. If tiny DK is on one of the middle platforms and you are on the ground, you will be able to use your charge-up B move to blow him away. You can use some of other Donkey Kong's moves on your enemy while he is in the air. The three-minute time meter should not be an influence if you know which attacks connect when.
