'''Rambi''' is a recurring rhinoceros [[Animal Friend]] who first appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. Rambi is a strong ally of the [[Kong]]s, and he can charge into enemies, attack with his horn, and break open fragile walls leading into a [[Bonus Level]]. Rambi only appears in a few select [[level]]s in every game that he appears in, or a single location.

Rambi reappears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', acting mostly the same as in ''Donkey Kong Country'', though his normal speed is slower. However, Rambi received the ability to perform a [[super move|supercharge]], which allows him to perform a fast charge to break open some walls (leading into [[bonus room]]s), or plow through enemies easily. Due to the introduction of [[Animal Barrel]]s, there are a few levels where [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] transform into Rambi, but there are still levels where they ride on him. His gray coloration from ''Donkey Kong Country'' is now tinted brown.

Rambi appears in a few levels. Similarly to ''Donkey Kong Country'', the first time that Rambi is in the first level, [[Pirate Panic (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Pirate Panic]], right after the [[Star Barrel]]. From there, the Kongs can optionally ride him until they cross the [[No Animal Sign]]. In this level, it is possible for two Rambis to be on-screen at the same time.{{ref needed}} Rambi appears a second time in [[Red-Hot Ride]], as well as a third time in [[Barrel Bayou (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Barrel Bayou]], though his crate and sign are near the start and Star Barrel, respectively. [[Rambi Rumble (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Rambi Rumble]] is Rambi's signature level and notably the first level where he can be transformed into from an [[Animal Barrel]], a requirement during the second half of the level. Rambi is chased by [[King Zing]] during a portion of the level, during which the "Run, Rambi! Run!" theme plays, although not in the [[Donkey Kong Country 2 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]], as it plays "Bad Bird Rag" instead. Rambi can be transformed into in two later levels: in [[Castle Crush]], during the first half, and in [[Animal Antics (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Animal Antics]], as the first Animal Friend used.

[[File:Rambi DK64 photo.png|thumb|upright=1.1|Rambi moving around Jungle Japes in ''Donkey Kong 64'']]
In ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', there is an animal crate of Rambi in [[Jungle Japes]], and it can only be entered by Donkey Kong. By entering it, Donkey Kong transforms into Rambi, which is required for him to obtain a [[Golden Banana]]. Rambi can move around quickly and easily defeat [[Gnawty]] enemies just by making contact with them; he is also invulnerable to damage. Rambi can destroy the nearby wooden huts and a stone barrier with his face on it. If Rambi goes out of bounds, he transforms back into Donkey Kong. Rambi is also controlled in one of Donkey Kong's [[Hideout Helm]] challenges, where the goal is to defeat 18 [[Kritter]]s while avoiding the electrical pylons which will turn Rambi back into Donkey Kong. Rambi is featured in his own unlockable mode named [[Rambi Arena]], which, like the [[Enguarde Arena]], can be unlocked after the Kongs have taken photographs of six [[Banana Fairy|Banana Fairies]]. In the mode, Rambi tries to defeat as many Gnawties within the time limit.

Rambi is mentioned and criticized by [[Cranky Kong]] in the instruction manual: "I just hope they've included poor old [[Winky the Frog|Winky]] and [[Expresso the Ostrich|Expresso]] this time instead of that bone-brained rhino that always seems to get in the games."

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*While Rambi himself does not appear in the ''[[Saturday Supercade]]'' episode "[[Hairy Parent]]" (due to the show predating ''Donkey Kong Country'' by roughly a decade), the climax of said episode involves Donkey Kong riding an ill-tempered rhino in a similar fashion that looks not unlike Rambi.

*Although Rambi never appeared in the [[Donkey Kong Country (television series)|animated series]], he was featured in a commercial for the Game Boy Color remake of the original ''Donkey Kong Country'' video game that featured Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, [[General Klump]], and [[Krusha]] in their designs from the show's second season, with Rambi presented in a very similar style.
