as nominated by @ZaziGuado

Arguments for Spike:
  • catching monkeys is basically his thing, and many Kongs have shown specific weaknesses to being captured, including DK
  • he has a variety of offensive equipment and techniques, including a boxing glove that can obliterate machinery
  • VS Battles Wiki says he's "continent class" in both striking strength and durability...is Donkey Kong "continent class," huh?


Arguments for DK:
  • puny human go smush
  • DK might not be continent class, but he is certainly Kongtinent class
  • if DK shoots Spike, it's gonna hurt


Last topic we had a real debate going between DK and the 1985 Chicago Bears, but ultimately fifty well padded humans were not enough to take down one very ripped ape; DK won, 21-11, in what will probably be a record high vote total for this topic series. Today we have another human opponent, but one outfitted with gadgets specifically designed to ensnare simians! Can DK escape?

Nominations are welcome!

Compared to the average ape, DK is bigger, faster, and stronger too

If you include his SECRET CAMEO in Ape Escape 2.......YELLOW Monkey who is a very OBESE monkey. If you don't include that........all monkeys in Ape Escape are roughly Diddy Kong height but twice as smart(at minimum). Though Spike does face down dinosaurs, mechs, UFOs, and a car.

Plus, the post-game gadget would likely OHKO Donkey Kong.

Do you think this would be an interesting match? My gut says Snake would win in a landslide.

Vs battle wiki puts DK at Galaxy class.

Vs battle wiki is also often bullshit when it comes to this stuff.

Kongs are separate from apes and monkeys, as per Skylanders where Bowser defends DK from being misspeciesed.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/2/7/8/AAPJzrAADcxW.jpg

Therefore, I believe that punching a child in the face will be fully effective unless it is tuned especially to Kong physiology. Even if we choose not to respect DK's wishes, he managed to break out of K Rool's rope trap after being shot several times, he can probably break a net. Or just, like. Punch a child before he gets caught in a net. Because he fulfills the qualifications of being bigger, faster, and stronger, too.

Much like Frankensteins Monster, Bowser can actually be quite eloquent when he wants to!

That's a very cliche mafioso line and I definitely see Bowser being a cliche mafioso

Spike has a lot of gadgets, but I don't think he has a coconut gun that can fire in spurts. But maybe Spike can get DK in the water and fire a net at him.

Spike could call down an orbital strike for his level 3 super in Playstation All Stars, could DK tank that?

That said, I think DK wins this. Spike's first instinct would be to try and catch DK in his net. To do that, he has to get in close, which is where DK wants to be in a fight. Spike is an ordinary 10 year old boy, he doesn't have super strength or anything like that, so DK could easily overpower him. By the time Spike tried to use his more powerful gadgets (like the aforementioned orbital strike), it would be too late for him.

Even if Spike does succeed in catching DK, the net sends captured monkeys back to the Professor's lab, so once Spike goes back to the lab himself, DK will be there waiting for him and ready for round 2.

Been two decades since I played Ape Escape, but I remember dying a lot, followed by Spike moaning, "This bites!"

No way is Spike resilient enough to handle DK.

Personally I'd count being removed from the arena and unable to return as a victory for Spike. Does that set a bad precedent?

Yeah, if Spike was able to successfully capture DK, I'd consider that a win.

i've long been a proponent in mercs that if you manage to trick the opposing team into going home thinking they won, but you remained on the battlefield, thats a victory for you

see: dracula/fortune vs dante/kosmos/whatever other super overpowered characters silver had
