Let's start off with Donkey Kong. If anybody had any reason for serious revision, it would be him, as most of the games this round were either racing games, with one set moveset for everyone, or music games, like the Konga series. The only unique game here was Donkey Kong Jungle Beat, which gave Donkey Kong a whole adventure and moveset. That said, the game had its own mechanics unique to itself, just the kind of game needing a good solid gimmick rep, thus the evil kings inclusion on the list above. That said, a lot of Donkey Kong's moves make use of giant punches and flurry rushes of punches, something DK has always been good at, so there is that.

Here is his moveset:

Standard B: Giant Punch

Side B: Barrel

Up B: Barrel Cannon

Down B: Ground Pound

Final Smash: Jungle Rush
Almost the primary attack in Jungle Beat. Nice.

Entrance: He bursts out of a barrel.

Taunts: Pounding his chest for sure, maybe eating a banana, maybe playing his bongos a bit.
