| | '''Super Kong''' is a character similar to [[Donkey Kong]] that appears in the [[Wii]] game, ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]''. Super Kong only appears in the [[Super Guide]] mode and his role is very similar to the Super Guide seen in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. If the player loses eight [[life|lives]] in a level, a [[pig]] will appear and ask Donkey Kong if he would like to activate the Super Guide. If the player says yes, then Super Kong will appear and complete the level for him. |

| 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==
| | While Super Kong travels throughout the level towards the goal, anything that he collects like [[bananas]] or other [[items]] will not be counted towards the player's total. It should also be noted that he will not access any of the secret paths that will lead him into the hidden parts of the level. |
| ===''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.
| | ===Physical Appearance=== |

| |
|
| ===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
| | Super Kong is an ape that looks almost exactly like Donkey Kong, except with a few differences. Instead of having brown fur like DK, he instead has fur that is white as snow. He also has a blue tie instead of a red one like his counterpart. |
| A white-furred variant of Donkey Kong appears as a playable skin throughout the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series. While this alternate color scheme predates Super Kong, it is 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.

| | All of Super Kong's powers and abilities are the exact same as DK's, from top to bottom. This includes his strength, agility, defense and much more. His stamina also seems to be the same as DK's. |
