'''Super Kong''' is a white version of [[Donkey Kong]] who appears in the [[Super Guide]] mode of ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and its [[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D|Nintendo 3DS]] and [[Donkey Kong Country Returns HD|Nintendo Switch]] ports. His clothes are blue instead of red. As per the Super Guide feature in games of the ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' series, Super Kong automatically clear levels that the player finds too difficult, while giving the player an example of how to play the level.  
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).

In ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'', if the player loses eight [[Extra life|lives]] in a level, and they are playing in single-player mode, the [[Professor Chops|tutorial pig]] appears and offers to activate Super Guide.<ref name="3Dmanual">{{cite|date=2013|title=''Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D'' digital instruction manual|publisher=Nintendo|language=en|page=9}}</ref> In New Mode of ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]'' and Modern Mode of ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns HD]]'', the player only has to lose five lives. Tutorial pig is present at the start of the level and at any checkpoint. If the player activates Super Guide, the level resets and Super Kong appears. Super Kong then completes the level for the player. The route may involve opening a [[DK Barrel]], in which case [[Diddy Kong]]'s Super Kong counterpart joins Super Kong. The player does not keep any items collected by Super Kong, such as [[banana]]s, [[Banana Coin]]s, or [[Puzzle Piece (Donkey Kong Country series)|Puzzle Piece]]s.<ref>Newton, James (November 9, 2010). [https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2010/11/if_donkey_kong_country_returns_is_too_hard_use_super_guide If Donkey Kong Country Returns is Too Hard, Use Super Guide]. ''Nintendo Life''. Retrieved March 13, 2020.</ref> This is to the point where trackers for those items do not appear on the screen. 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 silhouette levels, Super Kong and Diddy Kong's Super Kong counterpart remain visually distinct from the normal Kongs due to their blue clothes.
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 the Super Guide. If the player selects yes, then Super Kong appears and completes the level for them.


In the [[Factory (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Factory]] levels [[Cog Jog (level)|Cog Jog]], [[Switcheroo]], and [[Music Madness]], Super Kong does locate the hidden buttons that unlock [[Lift-off Launch]].
Any items collected by Super Kong, such as [[banana]]s, [[Banana Coin]]s, or even [[Puzzle Piece (Donkey Kong Country series)|Puzzle Pieces]], 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.


If Super Kong is activated during [[Tiki Tong Terror]], the final boss level, the cutscenes preceding and concluding the battle against [[Tiki Tong]] show Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong as opposed to Super Kong and Diddy Kong's Super Kong counterpart. This is likely because the cutscenes [[List of extras in Donkey Kong Country Returns#Movie gallery|Prebattle and Postbattle]] are pre-rendered.
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 Kong is sometimes described as invincible<ref name="3Dmanual"/>, though in practice this is because the playthrough Super Kong uses does not involve taking damage. If the player takes control of Super Kong, they can take damage.
It has been mentioned that the choice for the Super Kongs' attire to be blue instead of red was caused by the sunset levels of the game, which have Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong in silhouette and their attires being the only aspects of their designs being shown in those levels. Therefore, this aesthetic required the Super Kongs' respective attires to be recolored to differentiate them.{{ref needed}}
