Super Kong is a character similar to Donkey Kong that appears in the Wii game, Donkey Kong Country Returns. Super Kong only appears in the Super Guide mode and his role is very similar to the Super Guide seen in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. If the player loses eight lives in a level, a Tutorial Pig appears and ask Donkey Kong if he would like to activate the Super Guide. If the player says yes, then Super Kong appears and complete the level for him.
While Super Kong travels throughout the level towards the goal, anything that he collects such as bananas or other items will not be counted towards the player's total. It should also be noted that he does not access any of the secret paths that leads him into the hidden parts of the level such as Bonus Levels.
All of his powers and abilities appear to be the same as Donkey Kong's abilities, including his Power, Speed, Defense, and Stamina.
Physical Appearance
Super Kong is an ape that looks almost exactly like Donkey Kong, except with a few differences. Instead of having brown fur like Donkey Kong, he instead has fur that is white. He also has a blue tie instead of a red one like his counterpart.
Trivia
- Super Kong may have been inspired by one of Donkey Kong's color schemes in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, with the exception of the color of their ties, with Donkey Kong's being red, and Super Kong's being blue. It has been mentioned that the choice for Super Kong's tie to be blue instead of red was caused by the sunset levels of the game, which have Donkey Kong in silhouette and, therefore, required Super Kong's tie, as the only thing shown in those levels, to be a different color to differentiate the two.
- Additionally, Super Kong looks a lot like Fire Mini Donkey Kong. It may have served as inspiration for Super Kong's color scheme.
- Super Kong also resembles Eddie the Mean Old Yeti, a character from the Donkey Kong Country TV series.
- Like Donkey Kong, Super Kong has the ability to get Diddy Kong as a partner. He looks very similar to Super Kong.
