Donkey Kong/Characters: Difference between revisions

Line 47:

* [[Ring Around the Collar]]: His only consistent article of clothing.

* [[Throw a Barrel At It]]: [[Trope Namer]].

* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: Donkey Kong is a veritable '''beast''' in ''[[Donkey Kong Jungle Beat|Jungle Beat]]''. Seriously, the guy isn't above fighting dirty and pulls no punches at all. He's almost like a more kid-friendly [[God of War (series)|Kratos]]. Unfortunately....

* [[Took a Level In Dumbass]]: Ever since Donkey Kong 64, he has been falling into this. It only gets worse in the Mario series.

** [[Too Dumb to Fool]]: It does verge on [[Cursed with Awesome]] in Donkey Kong Country Returns. One of the Tikis tries to hypnotize Donkey Kong and make him a brainwashed slave like all the other animals they're controlling. All it does is make Donkey Kong mad.

Line 114:

* [[Brains and Brawn]]: Brains to Kiddy Kong's brawn.

* [[Distaff Counterpart]]: To Diddy.

* [[Dream Team]]/[[Took a Level In Badass]]: From a gameplay perspective in DKC 3, Dixie got a lot of Diddy's speed while still retaining her own highly useful 'copter abilities. When paired with Kiddy, himself a slightly faster version of Donkey Kong, you have an optimal adventuring team of strength, speed, and precision, as well as a host of [[Combination Attack]]s.

* [[Intangible Man|Intangible Ape]]

Line 317:

Tropes associated with Ellie:

* [[Eek! a Mouse!]]: Scared to death of Sneeks, a rat-like enemy. If she sees one, she'll panic and run away. In the level Stampede Sprint, nearly the entire level consists of dodging enemies while an out-of-control Ellie stampedes through the stage.
