'''Bluster Kong''' | '''Bluster Kong''' is a character in the ''[[Donkey Kong Country (television series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' animated series who also makes a small appearance in ''[[Super Mario-kun]]''. He runs [[Donkey Kong Island|Kongo Bongo Island]]'s resident barrel factory, named [[Bluster Barrelworks]], although it is actually owned by his unseen [[List of implied characters#Bluster's mother|mother]]. Occasionally, he speaks with his mother on a mobile phone. He is constantly hitting on [[Candy Kong]], his lone employee, despite the fact that she is dating [[Donkey Kong]]. Bluster is depicted as a stereotypical rich, spoiled coward. It is unknown if his affluence was inspired by [[Swanky Kong]], who is implied to be wealthy. He is the antagonist of several episodes, though he is more of a nuisance than a genuine threat such as [[King K. Rool]]. | ||

Set | Bluster Kong has made one appearance in [[Super Mario-kun Volume 23|volume 23]] of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'', in a special chapter based on the TV show. Set during December 31, 1999, Candy declares to Donkey Kong and Bluster that she wants a picture of the first sunrise of 2000. The two, claiming that the sunrise can be spotted from a high place, goes to the snowy mountains. While they fight for a good spot to take the picture, King K. Rool and two of his Kritters attack the two, taking advantage of the fact that DK will not be able to regain strength from bananas in such a cold place. The two Kongs beat the Kremlings with frozen bananas, but in doing so, they miss the sunrise. DK comes up with an alternative solution and shaves both their heads, making them so shiny to "perfectly reproduce" the first sunrise of the millennium, disappointing Candy. | ||

Bluster is disliked by most of the Kongs, with even his own mother voting against him when he ran for the island leadership position in "[[Vote of Kong-Fidence]]". Despite their animosity towards him and his periodic mistreatment of them, the other Kongs are willing to work with him when necessary, make occasional attempts to get to know him better, and will help him when he is in genuine trouble. It has been hinted that Bluster and Cranky used to be on good terms, but while Bluster still considers Cranky a friend, the older Kong holds him in contempt, even going so far as to designating a particularly large vaccination needle for Bluster. | Bluster is disliked by most of the Kongs, with even his own mother voting against him when he ran for the island leadership position in "[[Vote of Kong-Fidence]]".

He often tries to prove that he's better than DK and rubs his wealth in the other Kong's face, even though DK really couldn't care less. Despite the fact that Candy Kong is dating DK, Bluster is always hitting on her, and having to compete with the other Kong may be part of why he dislikes him so much. However, there have been episodes where the two have worked together, such as "[[Hunka Hunka Burnin' Bluster]]", and "[[Get a Life, Don't Save One]]".
