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''' ('''''Buttus Bashium''''') is a [[List of moves|move]] in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''.

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. Simian Slam reuses the concept of a [[Ground Pound]] from the [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' series]]. 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 [[DK Isles#Kong Isle|Kong Isle]]. [[Cranky Kong]] only allows Donkey Kong to learn Simian Slam after he completes his four [[Training Barrel]] challenges. Donkey Kong cannot leave Kong Isle without learning 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. | 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.

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.

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. | Both the Super Simian Slam and the Super Duper Simian Slam deal the same amount as damage to enemies as the regular Simian Slam.
