Metal Head


The Donkey Kong Country animated series did well enough to warrant a second season, though that season would only run half its length before being cancelled. During this season’s run, one of the most remembered episodes sees Donkey Kong accidentally switching brains with a robot Cranky had constructed to help Bluster.

I will be calling this robot Metal Head, named after the song Donkey Kong sings when he discovers his predicament. The robot was designed to build barrels, and throughout the episode, it demonstrates several abilities using its robotic body, including removing its own head.

In the game, Metal Head will be slow and heavy, a robot after all, with some decent strength behind it. Its moves will pull from the episode, both moves the robot demonstrates and moves Donkey Kong performs in its body.

Likelihood rating: Non-game
