Bluster Kong


Both Donkey Kong Country and Donkey Kong Country 2 proved to be a huge success, and the French animation company Teletoon picked it up for an animated series using the same kind of 3D animation seen in Beast Wars and ReBoot. The series reworked the concept to center around a powerful mcguffin called the Crystal Coconut, which was Donkey Kong’s duty to protect. The series starred most of the main cast of the first game, with Dixie Kong coming in a little later. Candy Kong now had a job at a barrel-making factory, where she constantly dealt with the sexual advances of her boss.

This was Bluster Kong, a self-obsessed and egotistical ape and the son of the barrel factory’s owner. He spends his time on screen either harassing Candy or trying to compete with Donkey Kong and is generally an unlikeable presence in the series.

That said, across the series, he demonstrates moves pulling from the workings of his factory as well as the few times he stumbles into a power-up that lets him outshine Donkey Kong for a short time. He will be slow, with very little strength, but little bursts of power from various moves.

Likelihood rating: Non-game
