Line 27:
* [[Boisterous Bruiser]]
* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]: If you succeed at a bonus room puzzle while controlling him, he'll turn to applaud you and give you a thumbs-up for succeeding.
* [[Brought to You By The Letter "S"]]: The DK on his tie.
* [[Catchphrase Spouting Duo]]: DK and Diddy in the ''DKC'' cartoon; they also give off this vibe in the games, though they never actually speak.
* [[Defeat Means Friendship]]: The end of ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'', in which Mario beats DK, scolds him good, and gives him a Mini-Mario like he wanted all along.
Line 34:
* [[Face Palm]]: He'll do this if you screw up in a bonus room puzzle while controlling him.
* [[Full-Name Basis]]: He's never referred to as just Donkey. It's always Donkey Kong, DK or D.Kong in Japan. (With the few exceptions being Cranky in Donkey Kong Country 2 during one of his speeches in his museum hint shop, Diddy during the ending of Donkey Kong Country 3, and almost the entirety of [[Donkey Kong 64 (Video Game)|Donkey Kong 64]] .)
* [[Go
* [[Heel Face Turn]]: He becomes the protagonist of his own series and is less hostile towards Mario and the other characters.
** Perhaps as some [[Fridge Brilliance]], Donkey Kong is already known to be the offspring of Cranky Kong (who originally bore the moniker in his battles with Mario). So his less antagonistic attitude towards Mario and his cohorts could be an attempt to patch up the bad blood between his old man and Mario.
Line 62:
Tropes associated with Donkey Kong Jr.:
* [[Bratty Half
* [[Brought to You By The Letter "S"]]: The "J" on his singlet.
* [[Catch Phrase]]: See quote above.
* [[Chuck Cunningham Syndrome]]: Arguably justified. As previously mentioned, he (probably) ''is'' the current Donkey Kong.
* [[Continuity Snarl]]
* [[Cute Bruiser]]
* [[Go
* [[Kid Hero]]
* [[Mighty Glacier]]: In ''[[Super Mario Kart (Video Game)|Super Mario Kart]]''.
* [[Plot
=== Diddy Kong ===
Line 216:
Tropes associated with Cranky:
* [[Cool Old Guy]]: In ''Donkey Kong Barrel Blast'', where Cranky is playable for the first time.
* [[Crack! Oh, My Back!]]: In ''[[Donkey Kong 64 (Video Game)|Donkey Kong 64]]'', if you lost at least one round against K. Rool.
** Happens more frequently in the cartoon.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]
Line 243:
* [[Cool Shades]]
* [[Gadgeteer Genius]]
* [[Hot
* [[Improbable Weapon User]]: He fights with a [[Cool Board|surfboard]].
* [[The One Who Wears Shoes]]: Sandals or combat boots--and sometimes none at all--depending on the game.
Line 327:
* [[A Day in The Limelight]]: Arctic Abyss.
* [[Chuck Cunningham Syndrome]]: He's absent for the first time in a ''[[Donkey Kong Country (Video Game)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' game in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns (Video Game)|Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'', mainly because the game contains no water levels.
* [[Nerf]]: In ''Donkey Kong Land III''. He can't do his charge-up stab move anymore, [[Damn You, Muscle Memory!|you have to press A instead of B]] to do his regular stab, and he will no longer automatically stab enemies when you get close to them, making him essentially useless.
** "Useless" is a bit of an overstatement. He's still a faster and more precise swimmer than the Kongs and your only means of attack underwater.
Line 510:
* [[Hook Hand|Hook Hands]]: Krook.
* [[Heavily Armored Mook]]: Koin and Koindozer.
* [[Instant Awesome, Just Add Dragons]]: Dragon Kremling from ''Jungle Climber''.
* [[Invincible Minor Minion]]: Rockkrocs (except in the remakes) and Kackle.
* [[Mad Bomber]]: Kuchuka.
Line 521:
* [[Pirate|Pirates]]: In ''Donkey Kong Country 2'' and ''Donkey Kong Land 2''.
* [[Real Men Wear Pink]]: Pink Krunchas and Skiddas.
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: Rockkrocs, Kloaks, Kackles, Dark Klobbers, and Robotic Kitters.
* [[Reptiles Are Abhorrent]]: They're both the main reptiles and the main villains in most of the series, and most of them are evil.
* [[Sssssnaketalk]]: In the GBA remakes.
* [[Top
* [[Turns Red]]: Kruncha.
* [[Xtreme Kool Letterz]]
Line 547:
* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: Yep. Kastle Kaos and KAOS Karnage even more so.
* [[Robo Speak]]: The quotes are incredibly mechanical and rather bland.
* [[Shout
=== Wizpig ===
Line 559:
* [[Evil Sorceror]]
* [[Eyes of Gold]]: Combined with...
** [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]
* [[Flight]]
* [[Hoist By His Own Petard]]: After being beaten the second time, his rocket randomly malfunctions, launches him into space, and explodes.
Line 611:
* [[Pass the Popcorn]]: Random Tiki mooks act as spectators during boss battle, booing the Kongs and cheering for their leaders.
* [[Power Floats]]
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: Screaming Pillars {{spoiler|and Tiki Tong}}.
* [[Sealed Evil in A Can]]: They were apparently "hibernating" in the volcano on DK Island, and were awakened by it erupting.
* [[Shockwave Stomp]]: Performed by {{spoiler|Tiki Tong}} in the second sequence of his battle.
