Not really a fan of any of them. Candy Kong cause I wanna pork her.

And I hate Cranky cause I want to make Koop and E-Man cry tears

i have not played any of the donkey kong games but i have played the games with donkey kong in that are not donkey kong (like mario kart)
i donnt really understand why he is called DONKEY kong
koopaul you seem to know a lot about them would you be able to explain please

RE: Favorite and Least Favorite Kong - Koopaul - 06-08-2014

Miyamoto wanted to name the ape for his arcade game after something that means "stupid". His limited grasp of English at the time thought "Donkey" was a synonym for that.

Interestingly, in Portuguese, burro stands for donkey and stupid

RE: Favorite and Least Favorite Kong - NICKtendo DS - 06-08-2014

"Ass" is a word that comes to mind.

RE: Favorite and Least Favorite Kong - Vipershark - 06-08-2014

Ass Kong

If Gordon Ramsay is any indication, donkey means stupid in english too ahahahaha

When reading this thread I honestly thought Kiddy and Diddy were the same character so at first I was really surprised and confused because I thought the lot of you would love Diddy. Welp goes to show how much I know and care about the DK series as a whole. Also I don't really get Koopaul's whole thing with thinking that Kiddy is particularly ugly????? He pretty much looks the same as the rest of them.

Anyway I don't particularly have a favorite or not favorite, I never played the games as a child and I'm not to interested in playing them nowadays either. I pretty much just feel apathy for the whole series.

I think the lips have something to do it, Kat.

They look so unnatural.

RE: Favorite and Least Favorite Kong - DioShiba - 06-08-2014

I actually like Diddy and Dixie (Probably because DKC2 was my favorite out of all of them), Funky because he's the only kong with some bad ass music in the first.
I'm neutral with Donkey, Cranky, Candy, Wrinkly, Kiddie (mostly because I never played 3), Swanky, Lanky and Chunky (same as Kiddie)
The kongs that can fuck off are the ones going beyond N64 game, Tiny and Manky Kong (yeah, that one enemy that threw barrels at you in donkey kong country. I'm glad rare or nintendo never used this fucker again)

RE: Favorite and Least Favorite Kong - Kriven - 06-08-2014

I like all of the Kongs (Ninja Kong and his ilk being an exception) but for one:

Candy.

She has no personality, her design is horrendous, and she hasn't done anything useful at any time ever.

TV show Candy is a far superior character to video game Candy.

In DK64 she does bestow her melons to the kongs.

I tried too hard to make that sound like an innuendo, don't I?

Those swollen lips, tiny ears, botox cheeks. The fact that you can't tell what kind of design they were going for. Is he supposed to be funny? Cute? I can't tell.

See with Lanky Kong, he looks goofy because he is goofy! He's a goofy clown Kong. Dixie was designed to be hip and cute. Diddy is cool and playful. Funky is just plain funky.

See their design perfectly matches their personality. But what was Kiddie supposed to be?

Ugly

RE: Favorite and Least Favorite Kong - Kriven - 06-09-2014

He's supposed to be developing, like every other kid does. That means he's got a lot of different traits he's trying out influenced from a lot of people (I mean, it sure does seem like the Kong family just passes him around as they tire of him).
