Donkey Kong

The big and powerful gorilla makes his way to Project M as a buffed version of his Melee iteration, having several new tricks up his sleeve.

Donkey Kong is still, as always, one of the strongest characters in the game, but like usual, he is unique from other heavyweights for his surprisingly high mobility. His dashing speed is above average and otherwise makes him as fast as some of the lightweight characters. Aside from being fast and strong, Donkey Kong is also known for his incredible range, having among the longest physical reaches within the cast of characters. Donkey Kong is, as expected, unanimously a rather versatile and solid character to pick up and play due to his combination of speed, power, and incredible reach.
