Editing Super Kong

The '''Super Kongs''' are white versions of [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]], and represent them during 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. Their clothes are blue instead of red. Much like the Super Guides in games of the ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' series, the Super Kongs automatically clear levels that the player finds too difficult, while giving the player an example of how to play the level.  

In ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'', if the player loses eight [[Extra life|lives]] in a level (or five in both ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns HD]]''), the [[Professor Chops|tutorial pig]] appears and offers to activate Super Guide. Tutorial pig can do so 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).

In the silhouette levels, the Super Kongs remain visually distinct from the normal Kongs due to their blue clothes.

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 the Super Kongs. This is likely because the cutscenes Prebattle and Postbattle are pre-rendered.

Super Kong is sometimes described as invincible<ref>{{cite|date=2013|title=''Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D'' digital instruction manual|publisher=Nintendo|language=en|page=9}}</ref>, 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.
