Chunky Kong
Encyclopedia : C : CH : CHU : Chunky Kong
Chunky Kong is a character who debuted in Donkey Kong 64 for the Nintendo 64. Chunky is the older brother of Kiddy Kong.
Background
Chunky Kong is a big, strong ape that helps Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Tiny Kong, and Lanky Kong on their mission to defeat King K. Rool and his Kremling army. To attack, he uses a bazooka that launches pineapples at switches and enemies instead of using his arms. However, he can also pack a powerful right hand punch which is so strong, he can knock almost any enemy senseless. He is not as fast as the other Kongs, but he makes up for it in raw strength. He is also known to be a scaredy-cat and very gentle, as shown in his musical instrument, the Triangle.Chunky's most notable technique is his ability to increase his size dramatically to duke it out with the larger bosses within the game. He uses this ability to take on King K. Rool with his Primate Punch in the final round.
A small controversy was aroused in the USA over Chunky Kong's verse in the Donkey Kong 64 (Which was rated E for Everyone) opening rap song using the line "one hell of a guy". This line was taken out completely when included in Super Smash Bros. Melee on the Nintendo GameCube, which is (ironically enough, considering the changing of said line) a rated T for Teen game.
Appearances
Chunky Kong makes his first and only real appearance in Donkey Kong 64 as a playable character, and is unlocked by Lanky in Frantic Factory. Chunky works with the color green in the game, collecting green bananas, using green coins as his money, and more. He is the final character in the official order of the Kongs in the game, Donkey, Diddy, Lanky, Tiny, Chunky, which is sometimes mistaken as Donkey, Diddy, Tiny, Lanky, Chunky, due to the fact Tiny can be unlocked before Lanky. He fights the second encounter with Dogadon, and also is, in order, the third character you can use against King Kut Out, and is the final character you use against K. Rool.He also makes a small cameo appearance in Donkey Kong Country 3 in one of Funky's minigames.
DK Rap Verse
Finally, he's here for youIt's the last member of the DK Crew
This Kong's so strong, it isn't funny
Can make a kremling cry out for mummy
Can pick up a boulder with relative ease
Makes crushing rocks seem such a breeze
He may move slow, he can't jump high
But this kong's one hell/heck of a guy
