"...Chunky can collect green bananas. Me wait in tag barrel until you need help."
—Chunky Kong, Donkey Kong 64

Chunky Kong is a gorilla and a playable Kong featured in Donkey Kong 64. Chunky is the older brother of Kiddy Kong and cousin of Dixie Kong and Tiny Kong. He is one of three Kongs to not physically appear in any game not made by Rare, the other two being Kiddy Kong and Swanky Kong.

In Donkey Kong franchise[]

Donkey Kong 64[]

Chunky was freed by Lanky Kong in the level Frantic Factory. Before he was freed, he indicates that he doesn't like heights. Despite his brawny build, he acts somewhat cowardly and childish. One example of this is when the player selects him in the Tag Barrel, he gets scared, shakes his head 'no' and tries to convince the player to choose Tiny Kong instead (although, when not highlighted in the 'select spotlight,' strangely he is shown to be more enthusiastic about being selected). His weapon is the Pineapple Launcher, his instrument is the Triangle Trample, and the potions each enable him to do Hunky Chunky, turning gigantic, Primate Punch, unleashing a very powerful punch which can smash down some doors and walls, Burp Skill, in which Chunky releases a giant belch and pats his stomach, and Gorilla Gone, turning temporarily invisible. Chunky can carry boulders and other heavy items that the other Kongs cannot carry.

In Fungi Forest, Chunky is the Kong selected in the second boss fight against Dogadon. He is the fifth and final Kong who fights K. Rool in his boxing match. Chunky ultimately defeats K. Rool using a combination of Gorilla Gone, Hunky Chunky, and Primate Punch.

Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)[]

Chunky made a brief cameo appearance in Donkey Kong Country 3 for the Game Boy Advance, in the third challenge of Funky's Rentals, as one of the Kongs whom Dixie Kong and Kiddy Kong had to protect from being kidnapped by the Kremlings.

In Super Smash Bros. series[]

Chunky makes a cameo appearance as a sticker in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and as a spirit in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

In The Super Mario Bros. Movie[]
