** Karate Kong is actually a Kung Fu master as evidenced by his original name, "Konfu Kong", which is also reflected in the Spanish localization. The French localization takes it up a notch adding in a PunnyName by renaming him as "Kongfu", [[NamesTheSame much like]] the character from the ''Donkey Kong Country'' TV series. The Italian localization makes him into a BruceLeeClone, dubbing him as "Kong Lee".

* WeaponOfChoice: Cannons. He's almost never seen without his hand-cannon, and he tried to blow up DK and Diddy with a bigger one in his debut episode. Not that surprising, since his design is based on the Kannon enemies from ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry2DiddysKongQuest'', who also wield large cannons.

* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: ''Racing'' dinosaurs, at that.

* DecompositeCharacter: For some reason, the NA version of ''Jungle Beat'' implies that the Cactus/Ghastly King are both separate beings from each other, whereas the JP version, there's just one being known as the "Final Kong".

!! The Evil Kings

* BigBadEnsemble: With K. Rool in the cartoon.

** Sumo Kong was changed from "Hyakkan Kong", ''Hyakkan'' being a Japanese term used to describe an OneManArmy.
*** In the French localization, he is called "Kongozuna," making him a top-ranked sumo wrestler, while the Italian localization goes with an AlternateCharacterReading of "Hyakkan" instead referring to him as "Kong Magnum," now referring to his weight as 375 kilograms/827 pounds, a literal example of an [[KillerGorilla 800-lb gorilla]].
** Ninja Kong from "Bushidō Kong", which is also used in the French localization. See HighlyVisibleNinja below. This also goes with his internal name of "Miyamoto" referring to UsefulNotes/MiyamotoMusashi, not Creator/ShigeruMiyamoto. The "Miyamoto" name is referenced in the Spanish localization where he is known as "Samurai Kong".
*** In the Italian localization, he is given Karate Kong's French name of "Kong Fu".

* KarmaHoudini: In "Speak No Evil, Dude." He infects Diddy with the deadly Kongo Bongo Gone Wrongo, sadistically enjoys putting DK through a SadisticChoice to save his best friend or the island, and deliberately chooses not to tell Klump and Krusha that K. Rool doesn't want the island blow up purely to spite the king for insulting him. Aside from being choke-held into spitting out the cure and startled by Cranky's hologram into dropping it, Polly gets off totally scot-free.

* KarmaHoudini: In "Speak No Evil, Dude." He infects Diddy with the deadly Kongo Bongo Gone Wrongo, sadistically enjoys putting DK through a SadisticChoice to save his best friend or the island, and deliberately chooses not to tell Klump and Krusha that K. Rool doesn't want the island blow up purely to spite the king for insulting him. Aside from being choke-holded into spitting out the cure and startled by Cranky's hologram into dropping it, Polly gets off totally scot-free.

* KnightOfCerebus: Since he appeared less often than K. Rool, episodes where he did appear presented him as a more credible threat than the Kremlings. In his first appearance, he stole the Crystal Coconut and captured both DK and Diddy; subsequent appearances tended to be almost as successful, just not quite.

* WindFromUnderMyWings: They summon gusts of wind by flapping.

* PigMen: They're noticeably anthropomorphic in comparison to the Rocs and Tusks, which are more conventionally animalistic.

[[folder:Other Bad Guys]]
!!B. Locker
->Debut: ''VideoGame/DonkeyKong64''
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/b_locker.png]]

A grumpy living signpost who's being forced by K. Rool to halt the Kongs from entering levels unless they have enough Golden Bananas to pay his toll.

* AnimateInanimateObject: A trademark of Creator/{{Rare}}'s character design philosophy at the time.
* CashGate: His whole purpose is to ensure the Kongs have collected the required amount of Golden Bananas to progress further into the game.
* PunchClockVillain: He's not particularly happy about his role, but has little choice on the matter as, otherwise, K. Rool will send him to the woodchipper.
* PunnyName: "Blocker". Considering that it's very similar to K. Rool's name, [[GeniusBonus it can also mean "Banana Locker"]], as in [[MeaningfulName "locked by X amount of Golden Bananas"]].
* {{Jerkass}}: He's perpetually grouchy and constantly insults everybody.
* SequenceBreaking: Unfortunately for B. Locker, Lanky is able to bypass him entirely with his regular attack, which clips through his thin body and allows the Kong to reach the portal right behind him. Chunky can also do this with only slightly more difficulty.

!!Squiddicus
->Debut: ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountryReturns''
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dkcr_concept_art_squid.png]]

A very persistent octopus of ginormous size who chases after our heroes in order to make their lives harder. It inhabits the seas of DK Island and Sea Breeze Cove (from ''Tropical Freeze''), being found in the "Stormy Shore" and "Irate Eight" levels, respectively.

* BackgroundBoss: It's not a boss so much as it is a living obstacle, but the way it chases and attacks you is very much similar to most examples of this trope.
* CombatTentacles: Its main form of attack, naturally.
* KrakenAndLeviathan: It's definitely the former. It even destroys ships in a similar manner.
* LoneWolfBoss: Squiddicus has no association with either the Tiki Tak Tribe or the Snowmads, being its own level-specific threat.
* NonIndicativeName: "Squiddicus" is not a squid, but an octopus.
* RiseToTheChallenge: The final stretch of "Irate Eight" has Squiddicus releasing killer ink that creeps after the Kongs from below, with our heroes having to outswim it.
* SuperPersistentPredator: Despite being a massive SeaMonster that could be going after bigger things, it takes an odd interest in primates that are just passing by. It even attempts revenge in a whole different island after their first encounter back in DK's homeland.
* TentacledTerror: It is one very big and aggressive octopus.
* TheUnfought: In ''Returns'', the Kongs never actually get to fight back against it. This is averted in ''Tropical Freeze'' where, after spending the whole level fleeing from its attacks, the Kongs are able to drop some mines right into its face at the very end.

!!Kaptain Skurvy
->''"I've come to claim me birthright, the Crystal Coconut, in the name of me great-great-great grandpappy!"''
->Voiced by: Len Carlson (English), Katsuhisa Hōki (Japanese)
[[quoteright:320:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_2539.JPG]]

A pirate captain featured in the ''WesternAnimation/DonkeyKongCountry'' cartoon. It was his ancestor who found the Crystal Coconut long ago, so as far as Skurvy is concerned the gem is his birthright, and he won't let anything stop him from claiming it. Accompanied by his two mates, Green Kroc and Kutlass, Skurvy is a less recurring villain than K. Rool and his Kremlings, but typically presented as a more credible threat than them.

* TyphoidMary: The episode "Speak No Evil, Dude" reveals he carries the deadly disease Kongo Bongo Gone Wrongo. Diddy finds this out the hard way when Polly bites him mere minutes after he [[AfraidOfNeedles ducked out]] of getting vaccinated.

* TrashTalk: Actually calls the group "little worms" both when he leaves and when they meet him again for the last race of the game. In ''DS'', he also calls the racers worms before the first race, and when he declares that he’ll be back after his second defeat.

* SoreLoser: When you beat him the first time, he throws a childish tantrum and vanishes in a huff, and then attacks the party because he "Just HAD to say goodbye!"

* TrashTalk: Actually calls the group "little worms" both when he leaves and when they meet him again for the last race of the game.

* BelatedBackstory: His last appearance, "The Kongo-Bongo Festival of Lights", reveals his backstory.

* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: He wears a bib that emulates a tuxedo dress shirt and bow tie (a.k.a [[VisualPun a pleated bib]]).

* EvilIsPetty: ''Twice'' in "Speak No Evil, Dude." First, he bites Diddy knowing full well he carries the terminal Kongo Bongo Gone Wrongo disease, ''for literally no reason''.[[note]]Though it's implied that the reason he bit Diddy was because Diddy disturbed his nap (unwittingly, mind you), which is still petty.[[/note]] Later, he could have stopped the threat of Kongo Bongo being blown up, but he refused to say anything purely out of spite for K. Rool insulting him and telling him off.

->''"Yo-ho-ho, and a...uh...ah, forget it."''
