The Spinning Kong is Donkey Kong's Up B 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 and Link's Spin Attack; 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 does up to 36% damage. In Brawl, Donkey Kong falls on his back after finishing the move, leaving him vulnerable for a moment.
