Board 8 > Rate the Character Day 1: Donkey Kong

(+) Yeah! (+)

Welcome to the most must-see recurring thread on Board 8. I'm scarletspeed7, and this is Rate the Character. I'll pick a category, you pick a character, and every day we'll rate one character. You are the raters, they are the characters, you rate the characters. Boom.


All ratings are on scale of 1-10

Today's character is Donkey Kong, a major Nintendo star.

7/10

One of the better Nintendo characters that isn't from Kirby

I hate pretty much all of the Kongs though, except for Diddy who would be like a 8 or 9 for me
---

I'm assuming DKC version?

8/10. He's pretty fun.
---

7/10

This reminds me of another project I should get back to when I get home from travelling.
---

5/10

pretty much average in every way

I honestly wasn't even thinking of that project until you just mentioned it. I will totally stop this if it bothers you!

DYLTC isn't even originally his thing, so it's fine. Pretty sure Ed Bellis wouldn't care either.

It only lasts a week each time he tries to restart it anyway.
---

5/10

Nothing too special but he's got a recognizable and animated personality.
---

5/10

And I officially state my displeasure at Lupin not being included in the poll.
---

Give me some Luna tomorrow!!!

DK is my main in Mario Party 2. He's the leader of the bunch. DKC best series.

8/10

Fun character, loses points mostly for barely being present in two of his main games.
---

8/10

An icon of classic gaming, though he hasn't grown much since the SNES days.

5/10
---

4/10

Vastly inferior to Diddy and Dixie.

3/10

sry Kamek I am just racist against monkeys
---

I own a few DK games but I've honestly never been more than a mainstream fan.

Gonna go with a 5/10 here.

Haha it doesn't bother me at all. And like Leon said, I don't even own the copyright to that series anyway.

I will rate him

3/10

I like his personality, but it doesn't get nearly enough focus.
---

6/10
---

I like his design, and I like his game series.

Though I actually liked it a little less in Returns when they full "cartoony badass" but maybe it's because he didn't have an equally badass K. Rool to play against.

Anyways, 7/10 I guess.
---

8/10

he wears no pants, has a giant punch and becomes the fungus monkey in green

5/10

He's kinda inoffensive, but also fairly useless. He is a fun character but really is so minor in anything, even stuff he stars in, simply because he doesn't have enough shown in terms of personality. It's just angry, loves bananas, and blond girls.

Wait, DK is Pokewars?
---

7/10.

He's not my favorite of the bunch, but I know him well. His games are cornerstones of my childhood, so perhaps there's some nostalgia influence... nah, he's just fun.

4/10 he's is a typical nintendo character that has appeared in a TON of things with little development or change.
---

7/10

His Coconut Gun can fire in spurts
---

3/10

5

The very definition of an average mascot Nintendo character. Diddy and Dixie outshined him the moment they took stage in their respective games.
---

5/10

I like heavy weights, but he feels too dishonest. His bair is powerful, and he has nice tilts, but most people just dingdong with him. I don't really use any characters that have an inescapable kill confirm, and upthrow into uair isn't really satisfying, whether you lose to it or win with it.
---

9/10

A lovable ape, at least when Nintendo isn't randomly turning him into a jackass in the Mario vs DK games.

4/10

7.5

Iconic, but not that exciting of a character.

8/10
---

His name is "Donkey Kong" and his only article of clothing is a monogrammed necktie
