Donkey Kong is a [[Kong]] resembling a gorilla who sports a burly physique; in addition to having particularly large pecs, biceps and triceps, he is noted to weigh 800 pounds (363 kg) according to the talking [[Microphone]] that serves as the announcer for the fight against King K. Rool in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', as well as having the traditional large feet of primates with opposable thumbs. Donkey Kong also has brown fur, with the fur on his head being distinctly shaped to the point of looking like a hairstyle. As of ''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze'', his fur has also consistently sported a realistic texture. The shade of brown his fur is colored, however, has been inconsistent between games, being either a lighter shade or its original darker shade. Donkey Kong wears only a single item of clothing: a red necktie with the "DK" logo printed on it in yellow from ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' onwards. | Donkey Kong is a [[Kong]] resembling a gorilla who sports a burly physique; in addition to having particularly large pecs, biceps and triceps, he is noted to weigh 800 pounds (363 kg) according to the talking [[Microphone]] that serves as the announcer for the fight against King K.

Within the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, Donkey Kong's appearance has changed. In ''Super Smash Bros.'', Donkey Kong was somewhat cartoonish in appearance, though his design did not originate from a specific ''Super Mario'' or ''Donkey Kong'' game. In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', Donkey Kong gains a darker color scheme, while his design appears to have more details; Donkey Kong is also shown with teeth, which are colored white. In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', Donkey Kong's fur is lighter in color, but it is further detailed. Donkey Kong's teeth are now yellowish in color. In ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U'', Donkey Kong's fur receives even more detail, akin to ''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze'', though he has a more vibrant color scheme. In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', Donkey Kong gains a more subdued color scheme, though not to the same extent as ''Melee'' or ''Brawl''; additionally, his fur is slightly less detailed, though his necktie has simple detailing. | Within the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, Donkey Kong's appearance has changed.

Diddy Kong has gone on many adventures with his partner (with DK showing excitement at having another adventure with Diddy when selected as his ally character in ''Super Mario Party''), and the two often look out for each other, sharing a brotherly bond. In sports, Diddy Kong is often Donkey Kong's default partner. Diddy has rarely been suggested as [[Diddy Kong#Relationships|a relative of DK's]], though most sources do not claim that they are related. | ||
[[Dixie Kong]] is one of Donkey Kong's closest friends, sometimes hanging out with him and Diddy Kong. She actively helped rescue him when he is kidnapped and joined him in retaking Donkey Kong Island from the Snowmads. Donkey Kong seems to act like a big brother to Dixie, similar to how he is with Diddy. He was very defensive of her when she was antagonized by a [[Dry Bones]] in ''Mario Super Sluggers''. Dixie does show minor exasperation with DK when he is rash and stubborn, but they nonetheless have a close friendship. | [[Dixie Kong]] is one of Donkey Kong's closest friends, sometimes hanging out with him and Diddy Kong.

Donkey Kong and [[Mario]] have had a rivalry for some time. The rivalry is witnessed in the ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' series. However the rivalry is friendlier in spin-off games, as implied in ''Super Smash Bros.'', and in [[Solid Snake]]'s codec conversation from ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. Aside from their rivalry, Donkey Kong is good friends with Mario and gets along with him and his friends in some games such as the ''Mario Party'' series. Though the current Donkey Kong is large, he is actually quite a bit younger than Mario. Although Mario did fight Donkey Kong's grandfather in the original Donkey Kong game, [[Cranky Kong]] admits that Mario is a true [[Cranky's Video Game Heroes|video game hero]] and even looks back at his nostalgic antics with a fond respect. Donkey Kong and Mario do not seem to hold grudges against one another in spite of their occasional conflicts. One of the evident facts about this is whenever a player lands on a DK Space in the ''Mario Party'' series, Donkey Kong will reward them with coins and stars. Another sign of Mario and Donkey Kong's friendship is how quickly Mario forgives a remorseful DK in the ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' series, even giving him a toy a few times. | Donkey Kong and [[Mario]] have had a rivalry for some time.

Donkey Kong displays good friendships with characters from the ''Sonic'' franchise. He has a friendly rivalry with [[Knuckles|Knuckles the Echidna]] and [[Vector|Vector the Crocodile]]. During the opening of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games]]'', Donkey Kong, as a hockey goalie, thwarts Knuckles' shot. In Adventure Tour, Donkey Kong quickly establishes good rapport with Vector and [[Silver|Silver the Hedgehog]]. In [[Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games|London]], Silver and Donkey Kong compete together in Volleyball, while Donkey Kong, Knuckles, and Vector work together clearing out the fog in the wrestling venues, with Vector offering a detective job to DK. In [[Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games|Rio]] games, Donkey Kong and Knuckles accuse each other of cheating after being deceived by two Miis dressed as Mario and Sonic. Following their losses in the Boxing Event, they make peace after realizing their misunderstanding. [[Big (character)|Big the Cat]] also invites Donkey Kong to outing. Donkey Kong has special victory animations with Knuckles and Vector in [[Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Games|Sochi]] and Rio, as well as being shown flexing with Vector in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020]]''. | Donkey Kong displays good friendships with characters from the ''Sonic'' franchise.

[[King K. Rool]] and his Kremlings are | [[King K. Rool]] and his Kremlings are arch-enemies of Donkey Kong and the Kong Family. They have stolen DK's hoard often for unknown reasons and kidnapped him and his friends. However, Donkey Kong was willing to help a Kremling named [[K. Lumsy]] when he realized that he did not wish to harm the Kong Family. Even when the king and four colored Kritters join the Kongs to form the [[DK Wilds]], their antagonism still shows. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', King K. Rool's trailer is called "The Rivals" as a reference to the enmity between him and Donkey Kong. In the show, the feud is still the same. Donkey Kong enjoys giving the Kremlings beatings, causing them to have great fear and apprehension of him. | ||
The Tiki Tak Tribe and the Snowmads are other adversaries to Donkey Kong, who has personal grudges with the groups for stealing all the bananas on Donkey Kong Island, including the ones in his hoard, and exiling him and his friends while conquering their home, respectively. | The Tiki Tak Tribe and the Snowmads are other adversaries to Donkey Kong, who has personal grudges with the groups for stealing all the bananas on Donkey Kong Island, including the ones in his hoard, and exiling him and his friends while conquering their home, respectively. | ||
