Donkey Kong (ドンキーコング, Donkī Kongu) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. 4. Appearance wise, Donkey Kong appears to have a more stylized fur-effect, even more so than he did in Brawl.

Confirmed information

• The following moves are unchanged:
  • Forward tilt
  • Forward smash
  • Neutral aerial
  • Back aerial
  • Forward aerial
  • Up aerial
  • Down aerial
  • Forward throw (carry animation and cargo forward throw)

• Donkey Kong now rolls like in the Donkey Kong Country series as his dash attack
