Kong is a genetically-engineered gorilla created by Dr. Lorna Jenkins using D.N.A. from the original Film/KingKong as well as her grandson Jason. Jason's teacher, Ramon De la Porta, learns about the magical Primal Stones kept on Kong Island and tries to steal them to become all-powerful, but in the process awakens the [[EldritchAbomination demonic being Chiros the Destroyer]]. Jason and Kong charge themselves with getting the stones back before Chiros can fully escape, Jason using a special earpiece, the Cyberlink, to combine into one being with Kong to make him more of a match against monsters of De la Porta's creation. The two are also helped by Jason's hulking but jovial friend Tann and Lua, a shaman from Kong Island who knows the most about the powers of the Primal Stones.

* {{Expy}}: The fire-breathing Komodo monster form used by both Giggles and Andre in "Dragon Fire" is an obvious stand-in for '' Franchise/{{Godzilla}}''.

* CantSpitItOut: Jason and Lua just can never admit their feelings for each other.

** In ''Kong: King of Atlantis'', he's referred to as ''King'' Kong.

* ShoutOut:''Dragon Fire'' features the use of a Komodo dragon with the cyberlink to turn into the villain that uses it, initially a henchman of Ramon and later the arms dealer Andre, into an amphibious, fire-breathing reptile monster. In other words, Godzilla in all but name.

* PrimateVersusReptile:Whenever Dr. De la Porta or one of his flunkies merges with a reptile to become the MonsterOfTheWeek. Not so much with the dinosaurs living on Skull Island, many of whom are actually docile towards Kong and company.

** In "Mistress of the Game", Lua is tied between two poles to lure Kong, like Ann Darrow in the [[Film/KingKong1933 1933 film]] and Dwan in the [[Film/KingKong1976 1976 film]].

* SpoiledSweet: Tann's parents are quite wealthy and, thanks to the fund his grandfather left him, he can buy whatever his parents won't give him. Despite this, he's a true friend and only mentions his wealth whenever it's needed to help.

* BigBad: De la Porta's the villain of most episodes, but the biggest threat in the show is Chiros, the evil fire god sealed under Kong Island who starts to wake up when De La Porta steals most of the Primal Stones. The good news is they manage to hang onto enough to keep him from being able to leave his temple. The bad news is his minions like Harpy, her gargoyles and Onimus, a monster who's big enough to take on Kong, have no such barriers.

* NOT: When Jason, Tann and De la Porta take a plane to the island, Tann says he bought the plane and Jason asks if his parents are okay with it. Tann says "totally... [=NOT=]" and says it's not a problem thanks to the trust fund his grandfather left him.

* SaveTheVillain: The heroes save De La Porta from death quite often, and Andre at one point. De La Porta even [[VillainousRescue returns the favor]] once.
