Donkey Kong in Project M and Project+
Universe	Donkey Kong
Base game appearance	Brawl
Alternate costume	Punch Out!! Outfit

Donkey Kong is a playable character in the Brawl mod Project M. He was remade to be nearly identical to his Melee counterpart in terms of attack hitboxes and animations.

Attributes

Changes from Melee to PM

• Dash attack has been changed. It is now a roll similar to that of the Donkey Kong Country series. It acts much like the original one, but has light armor and can roll off edges and platforms similar to Kirby's Melee dash attack. Can be jumped out of in midair. Overall has more utility than the old dash attack.
• Neutral aerial is now an effective approach option; it was given more range and slight invincibility on his arms during part of the attack.
• Forward aerial comes out faster and has more KO potential.
• Down aerial's ending lag has been shortened.
• Back throw's knockback has increased.
• Hand Slap now has much wider grounded hitboxes that ground-bounce the opponent and only slaps the ground twice per button press (making it optionally much shorter); it functions well for shield pressure and tech-chasing.

Alternate Costume

• Donkey Kong has an alternate costume based on his secret boss fight in the Wii version of Punch Out.
