* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]: If you succeed at a bonus room puzzle while controlling him, he'll turn to applaud you and give you a thumbs-up for succeeding.
* [[Brought to You by The Letter "S"]]: The DK on his tie.
* [[Catchphrase Spouting Duo]]: DK and Diddy in the ''Donkey Kong Cartoon'' cartoon; they also give off this vibe in the games, though they never actually speak.
* [[Defeat Means Friendship]]: The end of ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'', in which Mario beats DK, scolds him good, and gives him a Mini-Mario like he wanted all along.
* [[The Determinator]]: Shigeru Miyamoto called him "Donkey" because he's as stubborn as one. Depending on [[Protagonist-Centered Morality|who you're playing as]], this is either a good thing or a bad thing.
Line 80 ⟶ 79:
* [[Blue Eyes]]: During the [[Nintendo 64]] era.

* [[Conjoined Eyes]]: He shares these with his girlfriend Dixie Kong.
* [[Edible Ammunition]]: The Peanut Popgun shoots peanuts; [[Metal Gear|Solid Snake]]'s comment on this in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]] Brawl'' is the [[Trope Namer]]. Then again, ''all'' of the guns in ''Donkey Kong 64'' shot fruits of some sort (except for Tiny, who inexplicably shot ''feathers''), so...
Line 548 ⟶ 546:
* [[Alien Invasion|Alien Invader]]
* [[Badass Cape]]

* [[Evil Laugh]]: You hear his nasty laugh when you prepare to confront him in both of his races.
* [[Evil Laugh]]
* [[Evil Sorceror]]: Capable of brainwashing the island inhabitants into the game's other bosses, and possesses a few magic tricks including making himself disappear.
* [[Evil Sorceror]]
* [[Eyes of Gold]]: Combined with...
** [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]
Line 560 ⟶ 558:
* [[Lightning Bruiser]]
* [[Mass Hypnosis]]: Uses it to control some of the residents of Timber's Island.
* [[Messy Pig]]: He's a literal and metaphorical swine.
* [[Ninja Pirate Robot Zombie]]: He's a giant, a pig, a wizard, and an alien.
* [[Retro Rocket]]: Uses one in his second race.
* [[Smug Snake]]
* [[Space Fighter]]: Surprisingly never used as a racing vehicle.
* [[Trash Talk]]: Actually calls the group "little worms" both when he leaves and when they meet him again for the last race of the game.

Line 572 ⟶ 570:
 
* [[Giant Space Flea From Nowhere]]: He's not foreshadowed at all.

* [[Giant Hands of Doom]]: {{spoiler|Tiki Tong transforms his main followers into a pair}}.
* [[Giant Mook]]: Tiki Doom, Tiki Torks, Giant Tiki Zings, and Giant Screaming Pillars.
* [[The Goomba]]: Tiki Goons.
* [[Leitmotif]]: The instrument Tikis. They use their leitmotif to hypnotize the animals.
Line 600 ⟶ 598:
* [[No Ontological Inertia]]: After {{spoiler|Tiki Tong}} is defeated, his followers are destroyed, and the hypnotized animals are restored to normal.
* [[Oh Crap]]: The expression given by the lead Tikis before being made a [[Twinkle in The Sky]] by DK.
* [[Outside Context Villain]]: The Tikis kinda show up from nowhere, from an ancient Tiki statue that rose from the local volcano. Why they've waited this long to act is a mystery.
* [[Outside Context Villain]]
* [[Pass the Popcorn]]: Random Tiki mooks act as spectators during boss battle, booing the Kongs and cheering for their leaders.
