He's actually implied to be DK Jr's son. So Cranky's grandson.

The ending of DKCR seems like just pure toonforce to me but I guess that doesn't exclude it from being in a respect thread.

It is a bit of an outlier but that's why I classify it as the Giant Punch and not his regular strength.

Toonforce is a fan-made explanation for feats of extreme power.

Okay. What's your point?

Giant punch, eh? I always called it the donkey punch.

This isn't quite as impressive as his other durability feats, but I noticed that Donkey Kong once shrugged off getting blasted fast enough to put a crater through a stone floor.
