| '''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]]. | | '''Giant Donkey Kong''' (or simply '''Giant DK''') is an enhanced form of [[Donkey Kong]] that appears in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]]. In this form, DK is bigger, stronger and has more resistance to be knocked off the stage (he needs about 250% damage, while the regular DK only needs about 100%). |

| |
| 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.

| | His first appearance is in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' as a boss. He's fought in the 1-Player Mode in the 6th stage. Because of his incredible power, two characters are offered to the player as partners. |

| 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''====
| | Giant Donkey Kong also appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' in two distinct places. In the Adventure Mode, he appears after the player defeats two Tiny Donkey Kongs, but unlike the previous game the player must fight him alone. The other apperance was in the Event Mode, in two particular events: First in event 2, where the player controls him and must defeat Tiny Donkey Kong; then in event 25 where the player must defeat him using [[Giant Bowser]]. Donkey Kong can transform into Giant Donkey Kong by using a [[Super Mushroom]] (it only lasts for brief moments) or playing Giant 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}}.
| | In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Giant DK appear as a obstacle of in Event 22: Go! Giant Donkey Kong! in which the player must defeat him and also [[Sheik]] and [[Lucario]]. DK can also transform into Giant DK by getting a Super Mushroom or by playing Giant 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}}.
