Donkey Kong (USBIV)

Donkey Kong is a startable playable character in Ultra Smash Bros. IV and makes his fifth return in the series since Smash 64. He was confirmed during the developement at the E3 demo of this game, where the Original 8 were all confirmed in the beginning, alongside with Luigi, Captain Falcon, Ness and Jigglypuff. In the Donkey Kong series, DK is the protagonist of his own titular series alongside with his sidekicks: Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong. Mostly, he appears at several Mario sports and kart series. He's also the main antagonist in Mario vs. Donkey Kong series where Mario must save Pauline from the hands of Donkey Kong.
Donkey Kong has new voiceclips, reusing ones from the Mario Kart and sports series. They no longer use their ape sounds anymore, similar to Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong.
Donkey Kong ranks the 103rd place (D) in the tier list, ranking as the last character in the tier list, behind Wario. This is a major downgrade for Donkey Kong being a  mid tier character in Smash 4 and Brawl. This is also a notable drop comparing to Melee, considered to be the worst drops of the Smash-history, but maintains his place as a low tier character like in Smash 64.
