Poppy Kong, Donkey Kong Bananza

Poppy Kong is the lutung-like director of intelligence of Void Company in Donkey Kong Bananza. She wears expensive-looking clothing with gold accessories, glasses and lipstick, and has white hair with purple highlights; her tail is also purple. Poppy Kong is responsible for gathering intel for Void Company.[1]

After being defeated by Donkey Kong and Pauline for the second time, Poppy Kong quits Void Company, sick of putting up with Void Kong and deciding that freelance work is better suited for her.

Later, she is imprisoned in the Groove Layer's Jail Hall following the Great Harmoneel's attack. Donkey Kong helps her escape from her cell, and she helps him rescue Pauline, who had been swallowed by the Harmoneel.

In the postgame, she can be found in the Ingot Isle Cave-In and Groove Layer with Grumpy Kong, with whom she has started a construction company. She also appears at the end of the Forbidden Layer, where she confirms to Donkey Kong that Void Kong had in fact survived the events of King K. Rool's return, and also implies that she desires to track down and "hire" him to overwork him to such an extent that he is left begging for retirement as revenge for his behavior towards her.

Forbidden Layer

  • "Anyway, he's alive and well, it seems."
  • "Perhaps one day I'll find him and put him on our payroll. I'll work him so hard, he'll be begging for an early retirement."
