Primate Punch
The Primate Punch (Sandwichium Knucklus) is one of Chunky Kong's special moves in Donkey Kong 64. Its scientific name is a pun on "knuckle sandwich," a nickname for a punch. Primate Punch can be purchased from Cranky's Lab for five Banana Coin, right after Chunky Kong is freed by Lanky Kong. It can be activated by pressing and holding the 
button while hitting the 
button when Chunky Kong is immobile. The Primate Punch is a powerful attack capable of taking out down most enemies in a single hit, including the more durable Robokremlings. The attack can also be used to take out obstructions, such as boxes and gates, and activate Wall switches. The Primate Punch is also the key move for defeating King K. Rool.
