Lanky Kong (SSS)

:This article is strictly about how Lanky Kong appears in Super Smash Stadium. For information about him in general, see his article on MarioWiki.
Lanky Kong is a playable character on Super Smash Stadium. He debuted a week into Season 26, alongside Monkey Smash Arena.
==In his own universe==
His debut, and only major appearance so far, is Donkey Kong 64, where he helped DK mount an attack against K. Rool to stop him from using his Blast-O-Matic to blow up their island. Lanky's main draws were his stretchy arms, OrangStand (which enabled him to walk up steep slopes the other Kongs couldn't, à la Kazooie's Talon Trot), OrangStand Sprint (which made him go super fast), and his Baboon Balloon, not included, thank fork!
He also appeared in DK: Barrel Blast, where nothing of value was gained.
==Attributes==
Lanky Kong has the longest CQC range of the entire Kong cast, and possibly the longest range of any character on SSS, all thanks to his long, stretchy arms. His ability to hit opponents with disjointed attacks from up to half a Final Destination's length away makes this clown no joke to deal with, especially at the edge. However, he pays for this awesome reach by being somewhat awkward to control. He jumps quite high, but he's slow, has low traction, and is quite floaty. He also lacks a projectile.
===Changes===
...Yes.
===Moveset===
Entrance: Busts out of a DK barrel.
Move Name	Description
Neutral Special:
OrangStand Sprint	Lanky boosts his speed for 15 seconds. Becomes less effective if spammed; you must wait a full minute to be able to use it again at full power.
Cannot kill.
Side Special:
Super Stretch	Lanky stretches his arms out in both directions, hitting opponents on both sides of him but doing less damage and knockback than his Smashes.
Cannot kill.
Up Special:
Baboon Balloon	Lanky inflates himself for five seconds, allowing you to float around the stage during that time. After the five seconds are up, or if you press to cancel, he releases gas around him that can damage opponents minorly.
Cannot kill.
Down Special:
Scarab Beetle or Enguarde	Lanky summons the Scarab Beetle, who he can ride on for 15 seconds. On stages with water in them, he instead summons Enguarde, who swims around in the water and tries to stab opponents. Both can do moderate damage and knockback to anyone they hit.
The Beetle kills at 100%, Enguarde at 50%.
Final Smash:
Baboon Balloon Bomb	Lanky inflates himself to about the length of Final Destination, then pops, inflicting massive damage and knockback, especially on those closest to him.
Ashley Variant: Referencing aforementioned Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Ashley says "It's blueberry time!"
Kills at 65%.
