Donkey Kong's Moves - History Behind Super Smash Bros. Brawl

[Luigi13518]

On Donkey Konga, you got a YEAR of pennies!!!!

[CuriousUserX50]

Well, I understand things made up for the SSB Games though I concede Giant Punch came from Primate Punch. Flagging this got me blocked in the first place.

[jasmin8ter2010]

What's the song at 4:40 and are you going to do the history behind it?

[jasmin8ter2010]

3:40 Donkey Kong is stronger in Brawl than he was in Melee. In SSBM, Donkey Kong looks squished and moves slower when holding a barrel

[BallsOnWall11]

Donkey Bomb :D

[mariobros0417]

Even though the cord for the bongos isn't there, what would it be connected to?

[CuriousUser890]

You forgot his other two taunts, and his standard B Move and his Side b Move. Don't be forgetful next time.

[CrappyCaptureDevice]

@CuriousUser890 MADE UP FOR BRAWL! Why is this so difficult to understand for you?

Keep up your mindless shit and you're going to get blocked.

[CuriousUser890]

@CrappyCaptureDevice How's Zelda's moves coming along. She doesn't have much to cover. Every user is the same being frustrated on you no posting. You promised you wouldn't use the block user thing on your 3rd Announcement. How will I talk to you if I'm blocked. Besides, DK uses Giant Punch on Tikis and his father uses headbutt in the Gameboy Donkey Kong. I like your vids by the way. You don't even know what my channel looks like.

[RBMNintendoGamer]

@CuriousUser890 Corrections:

-The "Tikis" are enemys from Donkey Kong Country Returns, released TWO YEARS AFTER BRAWL (and we should even consider that the Giant Punch is from the 1999 Super Smash Bros.)

-The Game Boy Donkey Kong featured Donkey Kong's grandfather (Cranky Kong), and DK in SSB is not based on that original Kong.

-Only YOU are frustrated for the video delays.

By the way CCD, don't feel estressed by this guy. You are doing very well all of your videos, with a lot of research.

[CuriousUser890]

@RBMNintendoGamer The Giant Punch preferably came from Donkey kong Country 2 where he knocks KKR out. And I think his down taunt comes from his animation when selected in Mario Kart Wii released same year as Brawl.

[CuriousUser890]

@CuriousUser890 Also, you mean father. That Donkey Kong Jr. was actually the modern Donkey Kong.

[CuriousUserX50]

@RBMNintendoGamer OK, I also see that this video was posted 18 months before that game came out. And Cranky is Donkey Kong's father. I now understand stuff made up, like most of the taunts. Shame to not see what they look like.

[IkanaKingdom7]

@CuriousUser890 Crappycapturedevice is right some moves for characters were made for brawl

[jamesbond7477]

huh, now looking at it the old games were pretty awesome

[jasmin8ter2010]

If you pause at 5:48, you can see Diddy Kong's instrument, the guitar and Tiny Kong's instrument, the saxophone.

[jasmin8ter2010]

0:14 LOL, Diddy Kong!

[jasmin8ter2010]

6:00-6:09 OMG sex-related stuff in a kids game!

[ronaldkoffski]

i like how DK always jumps to dodge the other DK's in 00:21-00:36

[jasmin8ter2010]

Can you do the history behind Wario's moves and Diddy Kong's moves?

[jasmin8ter2010]

There are a bunch of other moves DK uses in other Donkey Kong games that aren't in Brawl. For example: In Donkey Kong 64, DK has a weapon called the Coconut Launcher, which launches coconuts at DK's enemies. THAT's not in Brawl.

[JeffersonMemories]

WHY DO YOU KEEP TORTURING POOR PEACH!?!

[eyemeralds]

HOLY CRAP!

Probably just because I never really used the Bongos as much in DK64, but it plays the Jungle Japes them in the back XD

[GamingandMetal6]

man i love these videos very intresting. keep it up

[joujouman300]

how does the game know when u clap? i mean donkey konga

[MegaRandom100]

@joujouman300 the game has sensors. its the same technology they use on the kinect for xbox 360

[joujouman300]

@MegaRandom100 but its so old game. mysteric wiuuaaauuuiioouuaaaa...(scary noice) or annoying

[Sly88Frye]

Wow! I actually learned quite a lot on this one. I didn't realize how much I didn't know about this character. Almost everything I saw in the Kirby video I knew about, but in this video, there are some other major things I hadn't realized. I already knew his bongos were from like DK Jungle Beat, or so I thought, cuz it's from Donkey Konga. Was that what it was called? I forgot.

[AbyssSonic]

how do u turn to look behind them coz i got gamecube controlled but i can't spin more then his body around can tell me why?

[2001kirby]

I cleared the 100 man brawl with only using DK's down b

[dill3v]

what about the taunts

[StickmenBattles]

I never actually looked at dks bongos in brawl, thats kool

[AntRocksO7]

Thumbs up if you think rare is better with nintendo

p.s. please leave this comment alive copy and paste it on every video having to do with rare so if they ever come across it they will hopefully realize the time they were epic

[DontLogOffordie]

is the zoom really necessary?

[TheTriforceOfAwesome]

I think his final smash should have been getting on that Rhino and knocking everyone off!

[elmerion]

@TheTriforceOfAwesome It's a shame they decided to put a reference to three of the least known DK games (DK64, DKConga, and.. the other bongo game LOL!) instead of using an actual fighting move from DK Country or something from the original DK game

[LxSh8]

You lack me the gigantic punch that was the punch primate of chunky kong

[Stevintage]

wow. this video is awesome just because its so nostalgic. I mean, its like a DK time machine video.

[EternalYoshi]

Hmm..... That second attack in DK64 does resemble the ftilt, and may have been the inspiration.

His ftilt in SSB64 was different(a basic weak punch) and was changed to the fly swat motion in Melee, so it may have been the influence behind the change.

[DarthKojima]

why didn't you include the rolling attack motion from DKC?

[andy329231]

it freezes at 1:01 but ill do this 1:05

[MusicTrackers]

In Donkey Konga, DK plays bongos and so does the player

[moRULEZ18981]

lol DK had the Gamecube bongos backwards at 9:41

[OniLinkBrazil1993]

The barrel entrance may be too a reference to warp barrels. The Kongs used them to skip the entire level. In Brawl, DK and Diddy may use them to magically warp from DK Island (just a example) to the batlle arena.

[zelink304]

how did you do to follow the music?

i tried to do it, but in the end i loose the rhythm

[Ultimatethinker721]

I could be wrong, but doesn't DK's Giant Punch move bear any resemblance to the punch he did on Kaptain K. Rool at the end of the first "final" boss fight? It has me wondering...

[xFire93x]

Brawl Hacks ftw



[ThomasDMatthewsno2]

@ 11:50

But is the AXE yours?

[jolbewoner]

I feel sorry for your roommate because he wasts his life on cigarettes and WoW whereas he can play pretty much every good Nintendo game..

[MrChannel30000]

How did you make Donkey Kong clap on his final smash

[patrickstar2001]

You can also use the bongos from donkey konga on donkey kong jungle beat. Also Donkey kong jungle beat is my 2nd favorite game my 3rd favorite is super smash bros brawl and my most favorite game is Wario ware Smooth Moves

[SpiffyBacon]

Watching the clips from Donkey Kong 64 is definitely bringing back some memories...

[A113Pixar]

DK's ground slap is a lot more powerful in Super Smash Bros. than it was in Donkey Kong Country.

[inuyasha54325]

is that donkey kong jungle beat for gamecube or wii cuz the grafics are cool

[papermarioTTYD12345]

@inuyasha54325 GC i belive, and BTW, its spelled "graphics"

[Nimbi64]

I was just playing DK94 on the Game Boy and I noticed: After you clear Stage 2-8, there will be a cutscene where DK tries to ram into Mario, but ends up with a face full of wall. It looks a lot more like his Side Special than I just described, honest!

[Nimbi64]

I've uploaded a video of it now.

[The08linkin]

i fell asleep

[johnlucas1]

I thought I was the only one who noticed all those details in the Super Smash Bros. series of games. Good work educating those who never paid attention to the history. It's what makes Smash Bros. such a topline game. All the heritage. Nothing in those games are randomly added. It all has a history.

[BingBangPoe]

I love your char analysis for Brawl... You're almost a Discovery Channel for Gamers, lol... Keep up with the good job!

[Zholat]

YOU SMOKE! >:|

[CrappyCaptureDevice]

LOL, guess you have annotations turned off.

[nightbane2]

@CrappyCaptureDevice Do you hack SSBB? the camera at 12:27 went through DK's body when without cheats you can't.

[LazeeBanana]

i think its very odd that you had the spare time to do this but all in all it was pretty good

[iGuerraphoto]

In Donkey Kongs final smash the waves only emit outwards whereas like you said in jungle beat they also draw things towards them. Granted those things drawn in were bananas but his final smash doesn't draw in anything.

[oldtown89]

Great video. Hope you do Pokemon Trainer sometime soon.

[lennyspizza]

did you hack ultimate camera

[pikmin3411]

how do you clap on the final smash?

[marnea1]

If your timing is good, he'll clap automatically on every 4th "beat"(press A when you see a small yellow ring come out of the Banjos). For whatever reason the first Banjo hit doesn't count.. Probably because it's the hardest to land.

[SHYKOOPA]

You probably mean bongos, banjos are stringed instruments like the guitar or the violin for example.

[marnea1]

Oops...

If you look down the page a bit you'll see that I had just written a comment about Banjo & Kazooie. I guess they were still fresh in my mind.

That's funny though, I would've sworn I put "Bongos".

[superyoshiblast]

y r u so mean to peach

[1jim3bob]

@superyoshiblast Donkey kong did that in 'Donkey kong' Noo wait, that's pauline he did it to.

[saurfan]

wow i never knew the bongos he used where the ones you use for the controller thanks for doing this ;)

[pokemoneinstein]

I love how raunchy they made that instrument shop XD

[airdragon400]

i love the game in the beggining! its so fun

[AthosAmo]

Banana chickens! I miss them!

[marnea1]

I think they're just called Banana Birds. In Donkey Kong Country 3, you meet their Queen!

[AthosAmo]

All right. Nice to know there's a queen.

[marnea1]

No it isn't...

[aurafox1]

Donkey kong 64 reminds me of Banjo-kazooie

[superyoshiblast]

well in the first place yes ur right cause in fact bk copyed dk so rare got sued

[marnea1]

I would like to point out that I love Banjo and Kazooie, I even played through it recently. But, there's just something wrong with Donkey Kong 64. It should be awesome. It feels like Banjo and Kazooie, it looks like Banjo and Kazooie, even play like Banjo and Kazooie, but for some reason I just can't get into it enough for a second playthrough, and God knows I've tried. Which is kind of annoying, because of glitch I am unable to get the full 101%. Looks like it's gonna stay that way.

[MrBlakey13]

Hey! What did Peach do to you? Maul Bowser!

[lucuador1992]

lol beaver bitch slap

[TatooPedigree0916]

I think its also worth noting that the impact sound effects off the shock-waves of DK's final smash are from the Koopa Shell in Super Mario series.

[MaxweJo1]

lol I remember trying his final smash with bongos too with my cusions!

[TerranceNevar13]

Im very dispointed with Dk's final smash. They should of made it that "Rapid Fury Punch" like at 5:11.

[metroid1234567]

dkc2 is my favorite game of all time

[TehGorunt]

It says in the beginning that "However, Donkey Kong bursts from the barrel on his own, as opposed to the barrel being thrown and broken by the character." What about when the barrel is floating in the air and all the player has to do is touch without having to break it by throwing it?

[someboychris]

omfg candys such a slut

[wbbm2006]

actually both of the shock waves used in DK's final smash are from Donkey Kong Jungle Beat, the circular ones are from the gamecube version and the damaging ones are from the wii version

[wbbm2006]

(im betting my money on the latter but..) i think i saw DK use something similar to his back air in Donkey Kong Jungle Beat, but i also this its a SSB/SSBM original

[LaRiviera]

2:40 - Mah pimp hand is strong!

3:20 - Get back in the kitchen!

6:20 - Unintentional racism? "Monkey" with watermelons for hit points.

[BeastingYouForever]

He's doing Link next ^_^ He's almost done ^_^

[Lawless66007]

There was no need to explain the Donkey Kong chest beating from the original arcade version. The Donkey Kong from the arcade is now Cranky Kong and this Donkey Kong is his grandson.

[wbbm2006]

am i the only person to have noticed that DK's f-air (which was mentioned in his video covering DK's melee moveset) is absent from this video?

[CrappyCaptureDevice]

In the Melee video, I said that was from Donkey Kong 64. BUT, he had that move in Super Smash Bros., which predates Donkey Kong 64. Meaning, that move is a Smash Bros. original, not derived from any original game in the Donkey Kong series.

So, that's why I took it out, because it would have been misinformation.

[wbbm2006]

oh, right, i just wasnt sure why it wasnt in this one, but thanks for clearing that up

[Y05H1ROX]

@CrappyCaptureDevice DK64 was in Development BEFORE the original super smash bros. About a year earlier exactly,

[jamesbond7477]

@wbbm2006 his forward aerial is from a donkey kong game

[peytonmario]

DK64 was the best 64 game EVA!

[loonymatthew77]

grab them and push up

[TheBrawlMaster]

Lifting up an opponent and carry them around is Donkey Kong's forward throw, performed by pressing forward on the control stick after having grabbed the enemy.

[GreenFire95]

OH, sorry... It's his forward throw. Just walk around, press A to throw them

[CrappyCaptureDevice]

After you grab the opponent, just start to move in the direction you're facing. Donkey Kong will pick the character up, then try to move left or right and you'll move with them. Just play around with it and you'll figure it out.

[GreenFire95]

Press the shield button and then press A. It really depends on the controller you're using. After you grab someone press A to damage him or press Up, Down, Left, or Right to throw them (every direction is a different throw)

[koopatroop2]

use the directional pad on the wii remote. its left and right, down is guard, and up is jump

[MoRRt3N]

That was realy cool :P

[Skrait]

wow cigarretes beer and world of warcraft... ur roommate have such a productive and healthy life hahahhaha

[SuperCaptureDevice]

Who's your roommate? Smokey the Bear?

[MegamanOmega184]

I noticed while watching this you forgot to mention DK's double jump. His second jump in Brawl looks identical to the somersault he does when bouncing off enemy's

[YourPolak]

Great work as usual

[genowhril809]

isnt candy kong...errmm...awkward for a nintendo game?

[GradeYero]

5:59 doesnt it look like Dk is more focused on her boobs?

[ShinyMagnezone]

@GradeYero I think he was more interested in playing her bongos

[SSBSfanboy]

@GradeYero how could you not?

[ssbplayer445]

the back of the bongos looked like it has tiny holes

[Marioshi64]

always thot his giant punch (B) came from the Finale when he OWNED Kaptain K. Rool, so SWEET!

I knew before Brawl even came out, tht his FS wud be Bongos, because they KILLED EVERYTHING in DK64 (and you really made the video take a LOOONG look at Candy Kong XD)

[TheStar73]

is anyone else a little creepedout from dk64?

i mean as a kid i didnt know or care but now that music and the game is sorta freaky

[Dario1108]

Lol, axe spray deoderant was also on the table. Was that yours ;)

[soaper4]

You should get a microphone and talk during these videos instead of writing text.

[Carlitonsp1]

Unless he has the most awesome voice ever, that would probably kill the video, and it definitely wouldn't work with his videos based on the Music.

[keggie09]

please when you make a luigi video tell me when luigi does it not just mario

[cp2datp]

make victory taunts soon

[TheSuperSmashBrother]

Lol annotations.

[occtopuppy]

4:00 - 4:02 looks like hes doing thriller

[TeeTop2008]

I need to know how to unlock Dixie in DK64.

[TeeTop2008]

*Tiny (my bad)

[neoman289151]

there are alot of dk 64 vids.....u can most probably find a vd for that

[wutever1994]

in angry aztec the first temple u see (in front of warp space 2) go to the left, shoot peanut switch w/ diddy, shes in there

[uchihasblood]

Dixie doesn't exist in DK64, only Donkey Kong Country 2. In DK64, she is replaced by Tiny Kong.

[TeeTop2008]

I know that.

[videoguy3211]

She's in DKC3 as well.

[dowap7]

Dixie is not in DK64.

[TeeTop2008]

Did you see my other comment?

[DragonNJMB]

Awesome like always!!!

But i think that you forgot the others taunts and -> + B (unless you can't find anything about)

[dowap7]

The other taunts have not been seen out side of Smash Bros, and DK never has made that move in his previous games.

[Oobieeeee]

Great video, you should do this with all the brawl characters. I love Donkey Konga Beat.

[villanjo]

Awesome video as always! I loved that you used jungle beat, I never played the gamecube version but I did play the latest wii release

[blakethechao]

So do you like upload a video per month?

[ShadowAndriod]

You Are Awsome, I Like How You Go in Depth With The Character And Fully Show The History, The Reason Why I Subscribed To You, Not To Mention The Stunning Quality Of Your Videos Now

[ShadowAndriod]

Hey, Do You Have The Homebrew Channel, Just Wondering Since The Pause Camera At 12:16 There Was No Restriction Guessing it Was A Cheat With Gecko OS..

[borregow]

woooooow donkey kong is awesome

[magicidiot12345]

Yes! I remember telling you on DK's Melee moves about Dixie Kong/Tiny Kong doing his up-b, I'm glad you included it!

[Kajinumberone]

Mmm... well the final smas can cover all the area in Shadow  Moses if Timed correctly... also in other little scenarios

[crazizzle85]

I see you're getting the easier ones out of the way early, as far as ease of recording. Mario and DK's moves are accessible at any point, not unlockable or at least not too hard to find. I assume Sonic will be easy, too. Maybe the easiest! lol You know, now that I think of it...other than his final smash, won't Kirby's moves be the same as Melee?

[orangeapples]

in Melee, Kirby dash A attack was fire, in Brawl Kirby Dash A is Yo-Yo. A lot of his attacks have been changed.

[dowap7]

And in Melee, Kirby spins the hammer vertically around him in midair while in Brawl, it's changed to two strikes horizontally.

[Nightfiraga666]

Wow, never seen anyone break 40% damage with Bongo Blast before. >_>

Also never seen the little clap thing, though. Hell, I've never seen someone play DK and still manage to get a Smash Ball...

...I miss his SSB64 and Melee forms. He's too gimped in Brawl ; ;

[pfaccioxx]

wow I had no Idea his final smash had so many detales!

[cotc17]

Ah Candy Kong. Did they really have to make her that busty? DK just kept staring. haha

Nice video

[SuperLeeHaNeul]

His second jump looks like when he jumps on the enemies

[Brawltheories]

I didn't know about the timing in his final smash. I always just randomly pressed the A buttion Great work

[SushiBrawl]

2:35

The beaver get's pimped slapped!

lol, good to see you're making these vids! I might try to make some of my own.

[NinjaRygar]

If you do plan on doing your own, maybe take the same approach to a different series, since CCD pretty much has Smash Brothers covered.

It would be interesting to see something different.

[SushiBrawl]

I've already made a video of showing Luffy's moves from a One Piece video game.

You can check it on my account if you want.

I was thinking of just doing Brawl stages or Final Smashes. Things that haven't been done yet.

[bubblesishot46853]

next, maybe do ike?

[DullBones]

What's the name of the songs played on the Lylat Cruise?

[filraen42]

Excellent video, as the many others of Melee and Brawl.

Let me add one thing worth a mention since you are so thorough: when you play with the DK Bongos you put them so you can see the DK symbol and the Start button. In Brawl, DK uses his bongos the other way so we can see the marks.

[DullBones]

Nice work! Can you do Samus next?

[Tyrannotaur]

I think he's doing them by going horizontally on the character select screen. from left to right. So next would be Link then Samus. I say this because he did Mario first then DK. Makes sense.

[pfaccioxx]

That's what he sead he was gonna do in 1 of his FAQ video's but it brigs to tight the question...

is he gonna make 2 video's for samus or is he gonna rool it all into 1 vid.

[WarningSDE]

I'm not really sure why you're quoting what I said as if I was directing it at you, considering the fact that it was directed at the guy who said you had no life....

[CrappyCaptureDevice]

Ah, never mind. I'm a dumbass. Now removing that comment....

[WarningSDE]

Yeah, I was wondering why you were so mad at me

[brawlbro88]

Great to see your history behind SSBB vids are just as good as melee's!

[xSlimJimmx]

Awesome video! And screw the dumbass on here posting useless comments, loser. >.>

[WarningSDE]

This was very interesting, and there was some things I didn't know. Hell, I never even noticed the button and DK logo on the bongos in his Final Smash.

[Cyclone94]

Nice job. Keep up the good work

[WeXzuZ]

Finally! The person with the best, deepest going "History behind SSB..." videos. Already looking forward to every video you will be making :D

I subscribed already ;P

[Kyogre9600]

Great! Do you think Link's move will be ready before the end of summer?

[SuperCaptureDevice]

Doubt it.

[MarikChan]

you sir have no life

[CrappyCaptureDevice]

You sir, are an idiot.

You realize it's retarded to make baseless accusations about me when you really know nothing about me, right?

Good. Now grow up.

[WarningSDE]

Not that you're any better, what with spending your time insulting people on YouTube of all sites.

[Maplestaff]

lol, hes looking at candy's....

[Yonin777]

Those are the DK acsory bongos I never noticed they actualy put the pause button and the mike.

[dekuu]

What about victory poses?
