** Kalimba gets one at the end of world 1. After noticing the Kongs entering the arena, he promptly gives them the DeathGlare, angry for being beaten and humiliated by them at the start of the game before proceeding to brainwash Mugly, a giant froglike monster big enough to swallow DK whole and can take a lot of punishment, to kill them.

* In the beginning cutscene, Donkey Kong gets ambushed by Kalimba, who starts his hypnosis routine. Does Donkey Kong fall under his spell like the other animals? Nope, he merely does an AsideGlance before giving the tiki the classic primate SlasherSmile and starts beating the shit out him for coming into his house uninvited and stealing his beloved banana hoard. Also counts as an epic EstablishingCharacterMoment.

* The reveal trailer at E3. It starts off with Reggie Fils-Aime telling the audeince, "Creator/RetroStudios has produced some great ''Metroid'' titles. But when they said they were ready for something new, we asked them to take one of the most treasured franchises in video game history and to make it magic again. If you listen, you can hear it coming." Cue gameplay footage with the familiar ''DKC'' theme playing. When Donkey Kong burst onto the screen, the audience cheered. And when they saw it was traditional 2D side-scrolling in the vein of the classic ''DKC'' games, they cheered even louder.
