'''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 the Rhino''' is an [[Animal Friend]] in the [[Donkey Kong (franchise)|''Donkey Kong'' franchise]] who first appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. Rambi can often be found in [[Animal Crate]]s, and he can be used to ram enemies or smash barriers blocking the entrances to [[Bonus Area|Bonus Level]]s with his horn.
 
While Rambi is mostly referred to with male pronouns, the ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]: [[Prima Games|Prima]] Official Game Guide'' refers to the character as "her".<ref>{{cite|quote=''Rambi can destroy just about any object and every enemy without feeling pain.

[[File:F-Rambi.png|thumb|Rambi next to an "F" letter in the [[Game Boy Color]] version of ''[[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Color)|Donkey Kong Country]]''.]]
In the original ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]], Rambi debuted as the first Animal Friend found by [[Donkey Kong|DK]] and [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]].
In ''Donkey Kong Country'', [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] can ride Rambi after freeing him from his [[animal crate]]. Rambi can use his horn to break open fragile walls, like what [[barrel]]s can do. He can defeat most enemies by moving into them, including [[Zinger]]s. Like other Animal Friends, if Rambi gets hit by a level hazard (such as [[Mincer]]s or flaming [[oil drum]]s), he runs away. Rambi is the first Animal Friend encountered, and he appears in the first level, [[Jungle Hijinxs (Donkey Kong Country)|Jungle Hijinxs]], and later appears in [[Oil Drum Alley]] and [[Manic Mincers]].
 
Rambi is featured on some of the [[animal token]]s. When Donkey Kong and Diddy obtain three Rambi Tokens, the player is redirected to the "Rambi Bonus!"; this area is set in a snowy location, where the player controls Rambi individually and must have him collect [[mini Animal Token|mini Rambi Token]]s.

====''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''====
[[File:RambiRumbleSNES1.png|thumb|left|Rambi in his titular level, Rambi Rumble, in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'']]
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.
 
At [[Swanky's Bonus Bonanza]] in [[Krem Quay]], one of the questions that [[Swanky Kong]] asks is Rambi's name, with the incorrect answers being "Bambam" and "Rambus".

====''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' (''3D'' / ''HD'')====
[[File:RambiDKRC.png|thumb|left|Rambi breaking blocks depicting his face in ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'']]
Rambi reappears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and its [[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D|Nintendo 3DS]] and [[Donkey Kong Country Returns HD|Switch]] ports as one of the two returning Animal Friends (the other one is [[Squawks the Parrot]]). Do note that "Animal Friend" is not a grouping in this game. [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] can ride Rambi, similarly to how they can in older ''Donkey Kong Country'' games; to do so, Donkey Kong must first free Rambi by [[Hand Slap|Ground Pounding]] or [[Roll Attack|Rolling]] into his large animal crate. Then they have to jump or land on top of Rambi.
 
Rambi does not have health in this game, being very close to outright invincible. Rambi destroys spikes, breaks open [[DK Barrel]]s, and defeats most enemies on contact. If enemies come from most angles, Rambi hops slightly to swings his horn at them. Enemies colliding from behind are defeated with a kick. Enemies that normally take multiple hits to defeat, like [[Tiki Doom]]s, are defeated in one hit. Even spiky enemies such as [[Tiki Zing]]s or enemies that block [[Barrel Roll]]s such as [[Tiki Tank]]s are defeated. Rambi can destroy stone objects, [[Cracked Block]]s, and other kinds of blocks showing an emblem of his face positioned above him or to his left or right, with a similar horn swing. Certain cracked stones are destroyed on contact, preventing Rambi from standing on them. The enemy rules further apply to Rambi's [[stomp]]s, meaning enemies otherwise immune to stomping are defeated by Rambi's stomps, and an enemy that can take more than one stomp from the Kongs is defeated in one stomp with Rambi. Rambi is not affected by slopes. The Kongs can dismount Rambi with the same button used for [[grab]]bing, with an "down" input required as well if the player is using D-Pad controls. Rambi quickly comes to a stop when dismounted while on the ground, but as he retains momentum in the air the player can drop Rambi onto bouncy flowers or enemies to extend Rambi's movement. In the latter case, Rambi's stomps still count towards chains that generate [[Banana Coin]]s and [[Red Balloon]]s.
 
When Rambi is not being ridden, he does continue to break spikes and fall through rocks Rambi cannot stand on. He also attacks enemies. He cannot break rocks from any direction that is not down, even if they are rocks that Rambi cannot stand on, rebounding from them as per normal movement rules should Rambi collide with rocks at a running speed. All other obstacles phase through Rambi.
 
Rambi has some moves of his own that can be used while riding him. He can [[Hand Slap|Ground Pound]] with his front legs, which has all the normal effects of a Ground Pound with the additional effect of breaking stone blocks showing an emblem of Rambi's face. Rambi can also [[Charge (Donkey Kong Country series)|Charge]], a rushing attack that is his equivalent of the [[Kong Roll]]. He can even jump out of a Charge like a [[Roll Jump]]. Rambi cannot grab, [[crouch]] or [[blow]], and neither can the Kongs while riding him. While riding Rambi, Diddy's [[Barrel Jet]] can only hover for one second.
 
Rambi's only weaknesses are fire and heat, including flaming enemies such as [[Flaming Tiki Buzz]]es and [[Fireball (Tiki)|Fireballs]]. If the player takes damage while riding Rambi, normally only possible because it is from one of these sources, the player loses Rambi. Note that Rambi is not additional protection from damage, the player still loses a [[health Meter|heart]]. Rambi does not flinch like Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong do, though he does still get mercy invincibility. Rather, he starts walking away aimlessly, turning at walls and falling off ledges. This is similar to [[Yoshi]], but Rambi is slower. There is a random chance that Rambi turns around when he starts walking. Rambi also walks away if fire touches Rambi while he is not being ridden, but never turns around before starting to do so. If he is already walking, Rambi always turns around as well. Unlike earlier ''Donkey Kong Country'' games, and also like Yoshi, the player can ride Rambi again to regain control of him. [[Lava]] is a special case. While Rambi only takes damage from lava, the lack of protection means the player usually is defeated by riding into lava anyway.
 
Rambi's position in a level is remembered even if he is off screen or the player enters a transition to another room. Rambi cannot be taken into [[Bonus room]]s, but the game keeps track of if the player enters one with Rambi and has the Kongs ride Rambi when exiting if that is true. Rambi vanishes on contact with the [[Slot Machine Barrel]] that concludes each level.
 
Rambi first appears in the third level, [[Tree Top Bop]]. He appears in a total of four levels, the other three being: [[Temple Topple]], [[Precarious Plateau]], and [[Smokey Peak]]. Rambi is outright required in Temple Topple and Smokey Peak, with crates positioned across the stage so that Rambi is easily accessible. The remaining two levels can be completed without Rambi, though hidden areas can require his abilities. Crates are less common in those levels. Rambi is part of the [[Volcano (world)|Volcano]]'s [[List of extras in Donkey Kong Country Returns|diorama]].
 
====''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze''====
[[File:Mountain Mania1.jpg|thumb|Dixie and Donkey Kong riding Rambi in Mountain Mania from ''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze'']]
Rambi reappears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' and its Nintendo Switch [[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Nintendo Switch)|port]], where he mostly retains the same role as in ''Donkey Kong Country Returns''. He is still vulnerable to fire and flaming enemies, such as [[Blue Hootz]]. In addition, [[Dixie Kong]] and [[Cranky Kong]] can make use of their respective ability while riding Rambi: [[Helicopter Spin]] and [[Cane Bounce]]. Dixie's Helicopter Spin is less effective while she is riding Rambi. In the [[Nintendo Switch]] version, [[Funky Kong]] is able to perform a [[Double Jump (airborne)|Double Jump]] while riding Rambi: like Cranky's Cane Bounce, the Double Jump is not affected by Rambi's weight.


Like ''Donkey Kong Country'', Rambi only appears in three levels: [[Mountain Mania]], [[Frantic Fields]], and [[Meltdown Mayhem]]. Unlike in the previous game, Rambi Crates cannot be broken by rolling into them.

===''Donkey Kong Land'' series===
====''Donkey Kong Land''====
====''Donkey Kong Land''====
In ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'', Rambi is only one of two Animal Friends that appear, the other one being [[Expresso the Ostrich]], and he appears in four [[level]]s: [[Jungle Jaunt]], [[Tricky Temple]], [[Pot Hole Panic (Donkey Kong Land)|Pot Hole Panic]], and lastly [[Mountain Mayhem]].
Along with [[Expresso the Ostrich|Expresso]], Rambi is only one of two [[Animal Friends]] to appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'' for the [[Game Boy]]; he has no significant changes in appearance or gameplay.


====''Donkey Kong Land 2''====
'''Levels''':
In ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', Rambi retains his supercharge ability from ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', although Rambi can no longer break open walls leading to a Bonus Level since all of them are accessible from a [[Bonus Barrel]]. There are no Animal Crates in ''Donkey Kong Land 2'' so the only way to use Rambi is to transform into him with a [[Animal Barrel|Rambi Barrel]]. Rambi appears in five levels: [[Gangplank Galley (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Gangplank Galley]], [[Redhot Ride]], [[Barrel Bayou (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Barrel Bayou]], [[Rambi Rumble (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Rambi Rumble]], and lastly [[Animal Antics (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Animal Antics]].

====''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' / ''Donkey Kong Land 2''====
In the ''[[Club Nintendo (magazine)|Club Nintendo]]'' comic ''[[Donkey Kong in: Banana Day 24]]'', Donkey Kong is briefly seen riding Rambi to an airport.
In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' for Super Nintendo and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'' for the Game Boy, Rambi aids Diddy Kong and [[Dixie Kong]] in their adventure to save Donkey Kong from Kaptain K. Rool, and is given the ability to perform a [[super move|Supercharge]], which can be used to smash through doors and walls to uncover hidden bonuses. He's also capable of jumping on enemies that the Kongs themselves can't safely jump on; namely, the [[Zinger]]s.


===''Donkey Kong 64''===
When asked what Rambi's name is in [[Swanky's Bonus Bonanza]], the choices are "Bambam," "Rambi," and "Rambus."
[[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."
'''Levels''': Rambi appears in both versions unless otherwise noted.
*[[Pirate Panic]] ''(Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)''

*[[Red-Hot Ride]]
*[[Barrel Bayou]]
*[[Rambi Rumble]]
*[[Castle Crush]] ''(Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)''
*[[Animal Antics]]


By exploiting a [[List of Donkey Kong 64 glitches#Bring Rambi outside of Jungle Japes|glitch]] to bring Rambi outside of his usual confines, the player can see a normally unused dogpaddling animation whenever he enters water.<ref>{{cite|title=[[tcrf:Donkey_Kong_64#Unused_Animations|Donkey Kong 64 § Unused Animations]]|publisher=The Cutting Room Floor}}</ref>
====''Donkey Kong 64''====
[[File:RambiDK64.png|thumb|Rambi, as he is seen in ''Donkey Kong 64'']]
After being absent in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'', Rambi reappears here but can only be played if Donkey Kong jumps into an [[Animal Crate]] with Rambi's face on it; Rambi is also usable in a minigame unlocked after taking pictures of a certain number of [[Banana Fairy|Banana Fairies]].


===''Picross NP Vol. 8''===
In the instruction manual, Cranky Kong references Rambi with, "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."
Rambi appears in ''[[Picross NP]] Vol. 8'' on one of the images that must be cleared.

Rambi reappears in ''[[Donkey Konga]]'' as a background character in two modes. In "Challenge", he appears at the bottom-left corner of the screen, next to the song number counter. In "Jam Session", he and the other background characters, including [[King K. Rool]], [[Cranky Kong]], [[Diddy Kong]], [[Ellie the Elephant|Ellie]] and the [[Banana Bird]]s, appear on the bottom screen while the player performs a "jam session". In this game, Rambi was drastically redesigned, where he was based more on a white rhinoceros.

===''Mario Kart'' series===
====''Donkey Kong Barrel Blast''====
While Rambi himself does not appear in the ''Mario Kart'' series, the front of the [[Rambi Rider]], a [[kart]] from ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', is designed like Rambi's head. The kart returns in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', in the [[Jungle Tour]].
Rambi increases the players' speed and can charge through barrels and boulders; the Kongs and [[Kremling]]s can ride Rambi after releasing him from an Animal Crate.  


===''Donkey Kong Barrel Blast''===
'''Levels''':
In ''[[Donkey Kong Barrel Blast]]'', Rambi appears in the course [[Dynamite Run]], where the Kongs and [[Kremling]]s can ride Rambi by freeing him from his animal crate. Rambi increases the players' speed and has the ability to charge through barrels and boulders.
*[[Dynamite Run]]


===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
====''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' / ''Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D''====
Rambi has appeared as an item a few times in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]]. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Rambi is featured as both a [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]], which can be randomly obtained in one of the single-player modes, and as a [[Sticker (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|sticker]], which increases arm-based attacks by 13 points when used by any fighter in [[smashwiki:Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary|The Subspace Emissary]]. In ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'', another collectible trophy of Rambi appears. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' Rambi appears as an Ace-class Attack-type primary [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]] with one support slot. The spirit slightly increases movement speed in battle. In [[smashwiki:Adventure Mode: World of Light|World of Light]], the spirit is located in the northern part of [[smashwiki:Forest Hill|Forest Hill]], a sub-world of the Light Realm. The spirit's puppet fighter is a white Donkey Kong who can deal damage by dashing into the player, and is fought on the omega form of the [[Kongo Falls]] stage.
[[File:RambiDKRC.png|thumb|200px|Rambi, breaking down blocks in ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'']]
Rambi reappears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]'' as one of the only two Animal Buddies from the previous three games to return (the other one being [[Squawks the Parrot]]). He appears again to aid the Kongs in their quest to defeat the [[Tiki Tak Tribe]]. This is the first time that Rambi does not debut in the first level; instead, he debuts in the third level. He has the same abilities as in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', but can also destroy blocks with the emblem of his face, and spikes. Also, if the Kongs fall off him, he will destroy all the enemies in his way, unlike the past games. Diddy Kong can not use his jetpack very well when riding Rambi. Also, Rambi cannot defeat enemies that are imbued in flames, such as the [[Tiki Buzz|Flaming Tiki Buzzes]] and [[Tiki Zing|Flaming Tiki Zings]].

The weapon's description states that it is officially licensed Rambi merchandise.
Rambi returns in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'', having the same function as ''Donkey Kong Country Returns''. He is again only vulnerable to fiery creatures, such as [[Blue Hootz]]. Like in the original ''Donkey Kong Country'', he only appears in three levels.
 
===''The Super Mario Bros. Movie''===
In ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'', Rambi's head is seen in the [[emblem]] on some of the [[kart]]s built by the [[Kong army]].

*'''[[Prima Games]] guide:''' ''In some of the levels, you will see wooden crates with a Rambi symbol on them, jump onto these crates and pound them to release Rambi. You can ride Rambi around a level. Rambi is great for busting through blocks, clearing out spikes, and bulldozing through enemies. You can climb off and then back onto a Rambi if you need to dismount for a while. Since you can’t blow while on Rambi, dismount if you need to deal with some flowers or other such objects. While Rambi is tough, stay away from flames and flaming enemies. Hitting these will cause Rambi to throw you off. Rambi will start to walk away, so get back on or you will lose the rhino.''<ref name=grass>{{cite|page=23|author=Knight, Michael|title=''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' Prima Official Game Guide|language=en|publisher=Prima Games|date=November 21, 2010|isbn=978-0-307-47102-4}}</ref>

*'''[[Prima Games]] guide:''' ''When the going gets tough, the tough grow horns and thick leathery skin, while simultaneously turning into the fastest and strongest ally in the game! Rambi is everyone’s favorite rhinoceros and has been since the beginning of Donkey Kong Country. This powerful mammal will plow through just about any obstacle, including spikes, and outrun anything you can encounter. Relief comes in the form of a Rambi box, so once you see one, break it free and keep Rambi from harm. You don’t want to go through a rhino level without Rambi.''<ref>{{cite|page=11|author=von Esmarch and Van Grier|title=''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze'' PRIMA Official Game Guide}}</ref>

==Notes==
==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.
[[File:Dk01 thumb.jpg|thumb|right|[[Donkey Kong]] on a "Mini-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.
*The name "Rambi" is a combination of ''ram'' ("to break down") and ''bambi'' ("child").
 
*Although Rambi never appeared in the [[Donkey Kong Country (television series)|animated series]], he was featured in a commercial for the Game Boy Color port of the original ''Donkey Kong Country'' video game that featured Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, [[General Klump]], and [[Krusha (character)|Krusha]] in their designs from the show's second season, with Rambi presented in a very similar style.
==References==
*Rambi was going to be a ridable Animal Friend in the now canceled game ''[[Donkey Kong Racing]]'' for the [[Nintendo GameCube]]. Early screenshots of this game also showed that other Rambis, some gigantic in size and some extremely small, were going to be ridable.
<references/>
*Rambi may very well be a species as hinted by the ''Donkey Kong Racing'' trailer and ''Donkey Kong Country 2'', because in the first level, it's possible to see two Rambis at once.
*A street named after Rambi appears in [[Metro Kingdom|New Donk City]] in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''.
