The '''Super Kongs''' are clones of [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]], and represent them during the [[Super Guide]] mode of ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]''. Much like the Super Guides in other ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' series installments, the Super Kongs assist the player with navigating levels, and feature slightly modified designs of their normal counterparts.<ref>Newton, James (November 9, 2010).

==History==
===''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' / ''Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D''===
In ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'', if the player loses eight [[Extra life|lives]] in a level (or five in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]''), the [[Professor Chops|Tutorial Pig]] appears and offers to activate Super Guide. If the player activates Super Guide, Super Kong appears and completes the level for the player. Any items collected by Super Kong, such as [[banana]]s, [[Banana Coin]]s, or [[Puzzle Piece (Donkey Kong Country series)|Puzzle Piece]]s, are not kept by the Kongs themselves. Super Kong always goes on a predetermined path to the end goal, meaning he does not access hidden areas or any [[bonus room]]s. The player can press the {{button|wii|+}} button while Super Guide is activated to take control of Super Kong until the player reaches the goal or loses a life. In the sunset levels of the game, where characters are mainly silhouettes, the Super Kongs remain visually distinct, as they wear blue clothing instead of red.

While Super Kong can be activated during the final boss level, [[Tiki Tong Terror]], the ending cutscene still shows the normal Kongs as opposed to the Super Kongs, who appear in most other cutscenes. This is likely because [[Tiki Tong]]'s boss introduction is pre-rendered.

===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
A white-furred variant of Donkey Kong appears as a playable skin throughout the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series. Although this alternate color scheme predates Super Kong, it is nevertheless used as an explicit reference to Super Kong in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' during Professor Chops' [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]] battle. Aside from alluding to the connection between Professor Chops and Super Kong in ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'', the white-furred Donkey Kong in this spirit battle references Super Kong's invincibility by being able to escape from movement-disabling moves.
