Super Smash Bros. Melee Trophy Guide
Donkey Kong Series Trophies
Donkey Kong
Trophy description
While he now prefers the laid-back jungle lifestyle to construction site mischief, DK is often forced back into action by the Kremling Krew. The great ape is quite fast despite his burly physique, and he keeps his strength up with a steady diet of his favorite food: bananas. His one extravagance (and only piece of clothing) is a monogrammed necktie.
Arcade 1981
Errors in the description
The entry suggests that the Donkey Kong that appears in the original arcade game and the Donkey Kong that appears in the Donkey Kong Country series are the same character. While this aligns with modern depictions of the character, at the time it was established that Cranky Kong was the original arcade Donkey Kong.
How to get it
Clear Classic with Donkey Kong or play 100 VS. Mode matches with Donkey Kong.
Donkey Kong Junior
Trophy description
Donkey Kong Jr. came to the rescue when Mario imprisoned his father. DK Jr.'s challenge was to collect the keys to Donkey Kong's cage, all the while dropping fruit on the enemies from high above. He was able to climb faster by using two ivy vines at once. This ape is also quite skilled at kart racing, tennis, and mathematics.
Arcade 1982
How to get it
Clear Classic with all 25 characters.
Stanley
Trophy description
Stanley is a plucky exterminator who takes on Donkey Kong and an army of insects in the third installment of the original Donkey Kong series. Stanley has a tough job: he has to chase Donkey Kong away to another greenhouse with his insect repellant, then climb up the ivy to pump the main hive with the deadly spray.
6/86
Errors in the description
You never have to climb ivy or destroy hives in the game.
How to get it
Available in the Lottery and as a random drop in Classic, Adventure and All-Star when you have either:
- played VS. Mode 200 times
- collected all other Trophies in the Lottery
Dixie Kong
Trophy description
More than just Diddy Kong's girlfriend, Dixie Kong is also a fearless adventurer and a reliable team player. She earned her wings helping Diddy rescue Donkey Kong from the clutches of King K. Rool. Dixie's amazingly quick and nimble, and she's even able to twirl her ponytail in order to float slowly through the air.
Diddy's Kong Quest 12/95
How to get it
Available in the Lottery.
King K. Rool
Trophy description
The demented head of the Kremlings and big boss in the Donkey Kong series. K. Rool is a giant, greedy glutton with a serious eye tic. While he fits the evil boss mold nicely, he's just enough of a bumbler to have gained a few fans over the years. His plan to blow up the DK Isles with his Blast-o-Matic shows how unbalanced he is.
11/94
How to get it
Available in the Lottery when you have either:
- unlocked all playable characters
- collected all other Trophies in the Lottery
Klap Trap
Trophy description
This low-slung alligator made its first appearance in Donkey Kong Country. You can subdue it by jumping on its back, but its powerful jaws make it dangerous to approach from the front. In Super Smash Bros. Melee, it swims in the river and sometimes jumps in the Barrel Cannon to stop players from using it.
11/94
How to get it
Available in the Lottery and as a random drop in Classic, Adventure and All-Star.
Barrel Cannon
Trophy description
The Barrel Cannons were used in Donkey Kong games as a vital means of transportation, and their explosive nature is used similarly in Super Smash Bros. Melee. On the Kongo Jungle stage, one can catch characters as they fall from the main platform. Careful! The Barrel Cannon rotation may accidentally send you flying off the screen.
11/94
Notes
On the bottom of the barrel, the words "2L84U" are written.
How to get it
Available in the Lottery and as a random drop in Classic, Adventure and All-Star.
Hammer
Trophy description
If you grab the Hammer, you'll run across the screen swinging it back and forth nonstop. In Donkey Kong, Mario used the Hammer in exactly the same fashion. It's an extremely powerful item, but you have no recovery move when carrying it. Every now and then, the mallet head will fall off, and you'll end up completely vulnerable, swinging just the handle.
Arcade 1981
How to get it
Available in the Lottery and as a random drop in Classic, Adventure and All-Star when you have either:
- cleared Adventure at least once
- collected all other Trophies in the Lottery
