Editing Chunky Kong

'''Chunky Kong''' is a big, muscular, though somewhat meek [[Kong]] who first appears in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. He is the cousin of [[Tiny Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]] and the older brother of [[Kiddy Kong]].

Chunky has a few unique abilities that he can learn from [[Cranky Kong]] at [[Cranky's Lab|his lab]]. The first move that Chunky learns is [[Hunky Chunky]], which makes him grow gigantic. The second move that he learns is [[Primate Punch]], which allows him to activate [[wall switch]]es depicting his face, and as an attack to defeat stronger enemies such as [[Robokremling]]s. The third and last move is [[Gorilla Gone]], which allows Chunky to become invisible (except his clothes), see invisible objects, and pass by searchlights undetected. Chunky is the strongest of the Kongs, and he has the unique ability to lift and throw [[boulder]]s. Contrarily, Chunky moves the slowest of the Kongs and also jumps the lowest of them, both of which are mentioned during his verse in the DK Rap.

In [[Fungi Forest]], Chunky is selected by the boss door of [[Troff 'n' Scoff]] to fight the level boss, which is a rematch against [[Dogadon]]. The level also has a [[Mine Cart Ride]]  that Chunky must complete. During the [[King Kut Out]] battle, Chunky can be optionally selected from the Tag Barrel, along with the other Kongs. He is the third Kong to participate by default if the previous two Kongs (Lanky and Tiny) are blasted out the stage.

In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Donkey Kong Country 3]]'' for the [[Game Boy Advance]], Chunky makes an appearance in the "Protect" challenge of the [[Funky's Rentals (minigame)|Funky's Rentals]] [[minigame]]. He is one of the Kongs who appear in the water and must be protected from being taken away by [[Kremling (boater)|speedboats piloted by Kremlings]].

Chunky Kong only makes two cameos in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]]. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', he appears as a [[Sticker (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|sticker]], exclusively usable by Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong, and it boosts the strength of throwing attacks by 31 in [[smashwiki:Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary|The Subspace Emissary]]. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Chunky appears as a [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]], which reuses his artwork from ''Donkey Kong 64''.

Chunky Kong appears in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'', cheering alongside [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]] during [[Mario]]'s battle with [[Donkey Kong]] at the [[Great Ring of Kong]]. He was first revealed to have an appearance in the movie through a poster where he appeared alongside [[Swanky Kong]], Dixie Kong, Diddy Kong, Cranky Kong, and other Kongs.<ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/smbmovie/assets/img/bg_modal_cast06.jpg Donkey Kong banner image on the official Japanese ''Super Mario Bros. Movie'' Nintendo website]</ref> He later appears in the final film alongside Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong. The film marks Chunky Kong's first physical appearance since the Game Boy Advance remake of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Donkey Kong Country 3]]''.

===Physical appearance===

Chunky has the typical apelike attributes like the other Kongs, and he has a similar build to his younger brother [[Kiddy Kong]], having a big torso with large and long burly arms, showing his strength. By comparison, his legs and feet are quite small. Chunky's head is also fairly big, partly due to his large mouth that is even bigger than Kiddy's. Like Kiddy, Chunky has brown eyes, though his are a darker shade and are also unconnected with each other. His ears are also very small. Chunky is the biggest member of the Kong family, being taller than [[Candy Kong]], and is more than twice as heavy as [[Donkey Kong]], weighing 2000 pounds (907 kg) at his normal size, compared to Donkey Kong, who weighs 800 pounds (363 kg). Additionally, Chunky is described as being quite young, in spite of his huge size and deep voice.

Chunky is portrayed as a strong character, but also sweet and gentle. He prefers not to fight unless he has to in order to help or protect those he cares about. He is normally cowardly, as if the player highlights him in the Tag Barrel, he will shake his head and point at Tiny to urge the player to pick her instead, and when the player moves him away from the spotlight, he wipes his head in relief, though ironically, any other time he is not highlighted, he will wave at the player to get their attention. He also was afraid of [[Dogadon]], and dropped to his knees to beg him not to hurt him. He is also shown to be somewhat clumsy as he was seen causing accidents and messing up certain parts in the [[DK Rap]].

|desc=''Although Chunky is young in years, he is nevertheless almost as strong as Donkey. The well-mannered giant gorilla is, in the truest sense of the word, a great guy, and sticks to Lanky, his uncle once-removed, like a leach. Chunky is crazy about toys and sees the Kremlings also as giant play figures whom one can give a good beating.''
