The '''Simian Slam''' is a set of moves found in the game ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. Similar to the [[Ground Pound]] from the [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' series]], these moves are used to press and activate the [[Kong Switch]]es. To perform a Simian Slam, the player will need to jump by pressing {{button|n64|a}}, then pressing {{button|n64|z}} while airborne. There are three types of Simian Slams each for a different color switch: Simian Slam, Super Simian Slam, and Super Duper Simian Slam for the Green Kong Switch, Blue Kong Switch and Red Kong Switch respectively. The '''Simian Slam''' ('''''Buttus Bashium''''') can be obtained from [[Cranky Kong]] for free in [[Donkey Kong Island|Kong Isle]], the '''Super Simian Slam''' ('''''Big Buttus Bashium''''') can be bought for five [[Banana Coin|coins]] in [[Fungi Forest]], and the '''Super Duper Simian Slam''' ('''''Bigga Buttus Bashium''''') can be bought for nine coins in [[Creepy Castle]]. The Simian Slam potions are the only potions which affect all the Kongs, not only the Kong who bought it.
The '''Simian Slam''' ('''''Buttus Bashium''''') is a [[List of moves|move]] in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. A [[Kong]] can perform it by [[jump]]ing in the air and then slamming down if the player presses {{button|n64|Z}} while the Kong is in midair. By landing, the Kong generates a small, surrounding green shockwave. The move is primarily used for pounding [[Kong Switch]]es, though it can also be used to attack enemies. The Simian Slam reuses the concept of a [[Ground Pound]] from the [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' series]]. The Simian Slam is the first move learned at [[Cranky's Lab]] and the only one that can be learned for free. [[Donkey Kong]] learns the Simian Slam at the start of his adventure, inside the head of [[Donkey Kong Island|Kong Isle]]. [[Cranky Kong]] allows Donkey Kong to learn the Simian Slam only after he completes Cranky's four [[Training Barrel]] challenges. Donkey Kong cannot leave Kong Isle without learning the Simian Slam, which he must use to open a wooden gate blocking the exit of Kong Isle.


Starting with [[Fungi Forest]], the Kongs can purchase the '''Super Simian Slam''' (scientific name: ''Big Buttus Bashium'') for five [[Banana Coin|Banana Bunch Coin]]s at Cranky's Lab. The Super Simian Slam replaces the original Simian Slam. It can activate blue Kong Switches along with the regular ones. It is otherwise functionally the same except that it emits a blue, slightly stronger shockwave. It also shows an aesthetic of green and purple stars.
Although the Super Simian Slam and the Super Duper Simian Slam are both upgrades to the Simian Slam, they all do the same amount of damage to enemies. They do however, get new aesthetics added to them. The Simian Slam only makes a small green shockwave around the Kong. The Super Simian Slam makes a larger, blue shockwave when used and it also makes stars appear around the shockwave. Lastly, the Super Duper Simian Slam makes a red shockwave that is the same size as the Super Simian Slam's, and it also has the star effect, but brightly colored sparks will appear around the shockwave as well.  
 
Starting with [[Creepy Castle]], the Kongs can purchase the '''Super Duper Simian Slam''' (scientific name: ''Bigga Buttus Bashium'') from Cranky's Lab for seven Banana Bunch Coins. The move is necessary for pounding red Kong Switches, which the other two Simian Slams cannot hit. The Super Duper Simian Slam generates a red shockwave that is slightly larger than the blue shockwave of the Super Simian Slam. Like the Super Simian Slam, it also displays a minor aesthetic of small stars, except it also shows sparks.
 
Both the Super Simian Slam and the Super Duper Simian Slam deal the same amount as damage to enemies as the regular Simian Slam. The three Simian Slams are the only moves at Cranky's Lab that apply to every Kong.
 
In the comic ''[[Donkey Kong in When the Banana Splits]]'', Donkey Kong manages to defeat [[King K. Rool]] by simian-slamming him. Both Donkey Kong's and [[Chunky Kong]]'s variant of the Super Duper Simian Slam were also featured in the [[Gallery:Donkey Kong Country (television series) trading cards|''Donkey Kong Country'' trading card game]] based on the [[Donkey Kong Country (television series)|eponymous animated TV show]].
