- Donkey Kong loves watching Spongebob. His favorite character is Patrick and he quotes "wumbo" all the time. It's the only word he can say in English, and it isn't even a real word.
- He can and will make bongos out of anything. Once, Roy joked that Corrin and Robin's heads were so hollow, they could make for good drums. For some odd reason, Donkey Kong decided to test that theory. Thankfully, no one got injured (at least, not seriously).
- He believes bananas are best when they're freshly grown, so Olimar helped him grow banana trees in the garden. But since DK doesn't know the first thing about gardening, Olimar had to do most of the work.
- DK enjoys spinning around in circles when he gets bored. It's something simple that keeps him entertained for a long time. He doesn't get dizzy easily, so he can keep at it for hours. He has to be careful when he's in an enclosed space, though, since he has a tendency to knock things over.
- He has a pet rock with googly eyes named Dwayne.
- For the longest time, he thought nine plus ten was actually twenty-one. Nobody knows where he got that from.
- The fighters must always regulate his sugar intake, especially at parties. If DK gets a sugar high, it's a nightmare to deal with. One time, he had too much cake at Jigglypuff's birthday party and he nearly destroyed everything from running, bouncing, and swinging all over the place.
- He's a really nice guy and will totally share his bananas with anyone who asks, but touching his stash without permission is the easiest way to get launched through a window.
- Although they used to have an intense rivalry, Donkey Kong and Mario are now best buds. However, they still have their fair share of competition from time to time. They're very competitive and usually take their contests to extreme levels. Adding Sonic and Captain Falcon to the mix only makes this worse.
- After all this time, DK still finds that he loses his patience with Mario quicker than he would with anyone else. He tries his best to keep a level head if he does something that annoys him, but there are still times where the plumber just gets on his nerves. Considering they put the past behind them, he doesn't understand why. Something about that mustache just ticks him off, I guess.
- He is extremely loyal to his friends. If King K. Rool tries to mess with anyone, you can bet your bananas that Donkey Kong will be there to knock him upside the head. He knows everyone in the mansion can take care of themselves, but he still wants to stick up for his friends, even if it means cheering them on from the sidelines as they beat the Kremling King to a pulp (I specify King K. Rool, but this goes for anyone who dares to pick on his closest pals).
- Sometimes, he and Diddy Kong will sneak into the kitchen at night to sneak bananas back to their rooms. Unfortunately for them, Donkey Kong grunts and stomps super loud without even realizing it. Diddy tries so hard to keep him quiet during their midnight snack runs, but more often than not, they wake everybody up.
- He keeps his banana stash in a safe because he's constantly worried someone might steal them.
- DK is clumsy as hell. He knows how to carry his massive body during battle, but when it comes to everyday life, forget it.
- He really wants to learn how to do the Conga. All of the fighters are surprised he doesn't know it already.
- Sometimes, Mario lets him borrow the Odyssey so he can travel to New Donk City with Diddy Kong. The two always visit City Hall several times whenever they go. DK says he just likes admiring the architecture, but Diddy knows the truth.
- He's somehow drowning in bananas by the time he returns. Everyone's surprised he isn't drowning in debt by now.
- He's tried and failed to get all of the Links to play the bongos.
- DK taught half the roster how to tie a tie.
- Remember when I said he loved Spongebob? His favorite episode is the one where Spongebob breaks his butt and refuses to go outside. He loves the whole thing, but his favorite part is when the gorilla appears and beats everyone up.
- He hums the DK rap on a daily basis. It's one of his favorite songs (for obvious reasons).
- Despite not being the best at it, he actually really enjoys baking things! He and Lucina once made a blueberry pie, and it actually turned out decent. Initially, Donkey Kong wanted to make a banana cream pie, but Lucina refused (he still thinks it would've turned out better if they'd just went along with his idea).
- Donkey Kong likes running through the forest with Duck Hunt, Diddy Kong, and Ivysaur. Sometimes, Pikachu tags along too.
- Every Christmas, he dresses up as Santa Claus. The kids know that it's just Donkey Kong behind the beard, but they play along just to make him happy.
- In the summer, he loves making campfires and roasting marshmallows. Although, he personally prefers to roast bananas.
- He hates math with a burning passion.
- Donkey Kong loves piggyback rides. He will give one to any fighter, at any time. Does a friend need to head somewhere quick? All they have to do is hop on his back and he'll happily take them there.
- His devious smile kinda scares Lucas.
- It's rare, but he's accidentally punched holes in the wall during fits of rage.
- When he's bored, sometimes he'll take a banana, pretend it's a gun, and run around "shooting" people with it. One time, he accidentally squeezed too hard and the fruit shot directly into Peach's face. Mario was kinda mad at him for that one.
- Kirby once had him try grape jelly and it was the worst thing he'd ever tasted.
- He'll solo anyone without fear during wrestling matches in the Boxing Ring (again, why wrestling matches are occurring in a boxing ring, I have no idea).
- He loves it when there's a crowd watching his battles; he practically feeds off of the attention.
- His favorite song from the Smash soundtrack is the Jungle Level theme from Brawl. He thinks it's the coolest version of the jungle theme, a song he holds dear to his heart.
Note: Another fighter down! This one's a little shorter than Mario's, but I hope you enjoyed it! Up next, we have the courageous protector of Hyrule!
