On Ganondorf's orders, the R.O.B. sentries activate all Subspace bombs. The Ancient Minister, sick and tired of seeing the world disappear, stops the sentries, only to be shot repeatedly by them and combusted. Donkey Kong and the others see this sorrowful event and try to stop the bombs. Then, the Ancient Minister's robe burned and was revealed to be the R.O.B. sentry leader.

Trophy Description
Name Image Games Description
Donkey Kong Donkey Kong - Brawl Trophy
  • SNES-Donkey Kong Country
  • N64-Donkey Kong 64
 A carefree jungle dweller with the charisma of a natural leader. He keeps busy by foiling the plans of the Kremlings and their boss, King K. Rool. As his physique suggests, this ape is a powerhouse. He's got speed to match too, and his love for bananas is second to none. His famous necktie is adorned with his initials, DK.
Konga Beat Konga Beat - Brawl Trophy
  • Wii - Super Smash Bros. Brawl
 DK about to go to town with some bongos! His performance is so magnificent and upbeat that it creates damage-inducing sound waves. Press the buttons in time to the music, and the sound waves may grow stronger. DK's invulnerable when launching this attack, but he's also immobile, so be careful using it on scrolling stages.
Subspace Emissary

Donkey Kong made a significant appearance in the Subspace Emissary, he first appeared when he spotted a Koopa's truck filled with a towering stack of bananas. He and Diddy Kong set out to catch the truck. They end up stopping the truck and taking the bananas but Bowser appears with his Dark Cannon. He attempts to trophicate Diddy Kong but his best friend knocks him out of the way. Trophicated, Donkey Kong is captured by Bowser. Eventually, Diddy Kong teams up with Fox and later, Falco who destroys Bowser's Dark Cannon.
