'''Giant Donkey Kong''' (also shortened to '''Giant DK''') is a form of [[Donkey Kong]] introduced in the [[Game Boy]] version of ''[[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Donkey Kong]]''. Similarly to a [[Super Mario (form)|Super form]], it is an increase in size often triggered by [[Super Mushroom]]s. Giant Donkey Kong commonly appears as a [[List of bosses|boss]].
==History==
===''Donkey Kong'' (Game Boy)===
[[File:DonkeyKong-Stage9-9LargeDK (GB).png|thumb|Screenshot of Giant Donkey Kong in ''Donkey Kong'' (Game Boy)]]
Giant Donkey Kong is the final boss in ''Donkey Kong''. He is fought in [[Stage 9-9]] after DK assumes the form using several Super Mushrooms. While his full body cannot be seen, he appears to be slightly taller than the [[Tower (world)|Tower]]. Giant Donkey Kong's primary attack is slamming the tower, causing [[barrel]]s and [[barbell]]s to fall from overhead. He can only be damaged by [[Mario]] intercepting the barrels by kicking them from a [[handstand]], and then throwing them at him. However, the same attack that drops the barrels also destroys any that have not been thrown. As the fight continues, Donkey Kong begins to slam his fists together to try to crush Mario, and to perform a one-handed slam causing barbells to fall. It takes three barrels to defeat Giant Donkey Kong.

====''Super Smash Bros.''====

Giant DK is a minor boss in stage 6 of {{iw|smashwiki|1P Game}}. He fights identically to DK, though differences include his increased size, more {{iw|smashwiki|resistance}} to {{iw|smashwiki|knockback}}, and increased launch power of his attacks. He is fought on [[Kongo Jungle (Super Smash Bros.)|Congo Jungle]], and the player has two {{iw|smashwiki|Artificial intelligence|CPU}} teammates to help them during this.

====''Super Smash Bros. Melee''====
Starting from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', Super Mushrooms can appear in a match and can make any character, including DK, giant. Throughout the series, permanently-giant forms of other characters appear in various single-player modes, with the effects being the same as a Super Mushroom.

Giant Donkey Kong appears in the second half of stage 2 of the {{iw|smashwiki|Adventure Mode|id=SSBM}}, fought on [[Jungle Japes (stage)|Jungle Japes]]. He is also the player character of {{iw|smashwiki|Event 2: Lord of the Jungle}}. A particularly large Donkey Kong, about twice the size of even the Super Mushroom, appears in {{iw|smashwiki|Event 25: Gargantuans}}.

====''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''====
The only appearance of Giant Donkey Kong outside the Super Mushroom item in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' are four events: {{iw|smashwiki|Event 9: The Monster Beneath the Earth|The Monster Beneath the Earth}}, {{iw|smashwiki|Event 22: Monkeys Unite|Monkeys Unite}}, {{iw|smashwiki|Event 27: Three-Beast Carnage|Three-Beast Carnage}}, and {{iw|smashwiki|Co-Op Event 14: The Dark Guardians}}.

====''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''====
Giant Donkey Kong is the boss of [[Jigglypuff]]'s {{iw|smashwiki|Classic Mode|id=SSBU}} route in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' This inclusion is a reference to the original ''Super Smash Bros.'', which the route is themed around.
