Attributes

Donkey Kong is ranked 12th in the B tier, the largest buff out of any character. His current repsrite makes him a harder target to hit. This combined with his improved speed can make him a much more offensive character, especially with the decreased lag in his normals. His dash attack, while not as good as Luigi's, Kamek's, or Petey's, can be acted out of faster than nearly any other character, allowing it to be good for escape and comboing into any of his normals. However, this has resulted in less range in his attacks and a weakened projectile in his Barrel throw. However, he can now have a better time keeping up with the rest of the cast, and even have some good combos to back up some of his flaws, despite not getting anywhere outside of the B tier.

Trivia

• before 9.0 Donkey Kong was one of the two largest characters in the game (tied with Petey). He can hit characters easily but can be a pain to navigate throughout the stage, and can also be hit easily himself.
• Donkey Kong was the second character to have a Skin Swap revealed, being his Silver Swap (Image in the Gallery below) (Mario being the first).
• Donkey Kong was the first character to get an entirely new sprite, which was changed in v.0.9 being from crispriters mlss donkey kong.
