Simian Slam
The Simian Slam is a set of moves found in the game Donkey Kong 64. Similar to the Ground Pound from the Super Mario series, these moves are used to press and activate the Kong Switches. To perform a Simian Slam, the player will need to jump by pressing 
, then pressing 
while airborne. There are three types of Simian Slams each for a different color switch: Simian Slam, Super Simian Slam, and Super Duper Simian Slam for the Green Kong Switch, Blue Kong Switch and Red Kong Switch respectively. The Simian Slam (Buttus Bashium) can be obtained from Cranky Kong for free in Kong Isle, the Super Simian Slam (Big Buttus Bashium) can be bought for five coins in Fungi Forest, and the Super Duper Simian Slam (Bigga Buttus Bashium) can be bought for nine coins in Creepy Castle. The Simian Slam potions are the only potions which affect all the Kongs; not only the Kong who bought it.
In the Donkey Kong in When the Banana Splits comic, Donkey Kong managed to defeat King K. Rool by Simian Slamming him.
