6 🎃Dread Kong

Dread Kong is one of the rulers of Donkey Kong Island, the first in fact you run into in Donkey Kong Jungle Beat. He is one of the easiest bosses but strong enough noneth🍎eless to rule a 🍬piece of the island.

4 ꦇ Chun💯ky Kong

Chunky Kong is a giant baby but one of the most physically capable of the Kong family. However, he is one of the meekest members of the Kong Family having a scared child-like mentality, naive in his 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:regular time and usually frightened when ♕but in a combat scenario.

This ranks him higher for his physical s🐬kills but stops him from ranking higher for his combat prowess, or lack thereof.

3 Sumo Kong

Sumo Kong is the final boss of Donkey Kong Jungle Beat, a game that really gives the player a perspective on what the otওh💞er side branches of Kong are doing. He is another ruler of the island and about twice the size of Donkey Kong.

Being so big he lacks 🌼speed👍, which you need a lot of that and good timing to beat him in the game. You let him hit and he will hit like a final boss.

2 🦩 Lanky Kong

Lanky Kong is one of the most skilled and possibly magical of the whole Kong line. He possesses great speed, flexibility, and balance. He has the power to transform, something not present in any other Kong, for instance: being able to inflate to float up to places or transform himself into a s🌄wordfish.

Lanky Kong might as well be th🃏e clueless superhero in this situatio൩n because in his playable form he possesses abilities that all the other Kongs lack.  If it wasn't for his lack of strength and smarts he would easily be number one.

1 ꦆ Donkey Kong (Donkey ✤Kong the 3rd)

Donkey Kong might lack certain abilities others have, but he isn't the title character for nothing. He may not seem it when compared to other characters 💃like Mario, but he has wits and the capability to defeat foes like Sumo Kong.
