CHUNKY KONG

Here we, here we, here we go! So they're finally here, a-smashing for you. If you know their moves, you can join in too. Put your hands together if you want to clap, as we take you through this monkey roster:

1. Donkey Kong (Revision 1)
2. Diddy Kong
3. Dixie Kong
4. King K. Rool
5. Cranky Kong
6. Funky Kong
7. Tiny Kong
8. Lanky Kong
9. Chunky Kong
10. Kiddy Kong
11. Kritter
12. Krusha
13. Klump
14. Tucks
15. Tiki Tong
16. Lord Fredrik

Finally, he's here for you! It's the last member (or well, ninth member) of the DK roster! This Kong's so strong, it isn't funny. He can make an opponent cry out for "Mummy!" He can pick up a boulder with relative ease, which makes crushing rocks seem such a breeze. He may move slow, he can't jump high, but this Kong's one heck of a guy. Well, here we are. The last of the 64 crew. Chunky Kong is the older brother of Kiddy Kong, and was generally the biggest and strongest of the 64 characters.

As mentioned above, Chunky would fall into the heavier and slower characters, with tremendous strength to make up for it. In 64, he could pick up gigantic boulders and other items with ease and could chuck them some distance. He could use a giant punch not dissimilar to Donkey Kong's, turn invisible, become gigantic, and throw a large roundhouse punch for good measure, on top of a pineapple launching bazooka, and a triangle for an instrument.

So, here's what we've got:

Standard B: Boulder
So for his first move, I'm going to use the "Pick up a boulder with relative ease" move for him, since it has become a bit iconic for him. (Gosh, that's going to look weird seeing Kirby do it). He'll pick up a gigantic rock and launch it overhead as a projectile.

Side B: Pineapple Launcher
Chunky pulls out his pineapple-launching bazooka and fires it at his enemies, making a big old splatter when it impacts.

Up B: Primate Punch
Since he doesn't have very many upward-moving skills, I went with his punch and his tendency to spin out and make himself dizzy when he does it, operating under the idea that he punched so hard and so fast that he sends himself spinning into the air while doing it.

Down B: Hunky Chunky
Given its connection to Tiny's Mini-Monkey, Chunky's down B makes him grow gigantic for a short period of time, giving a boost to his stats, but making him even slower.

Final Smash: Triangle Trample
As with all the DK 64 specific characters, Chunky will likewise pull out his musical instrument, this time the triangle, and play a short tune on it, sending characters around him flying.

Entrance: Bursts out of a barrel

Taunts: I rather like his disco getup in the DK rap video, also the way he seems to panic if you're about to choose him on the select screen.

Thanks for reading! Next up, let's finish the Kongs up with Chunky's little brother Kiddy Kong!
