Cullination Royalty: Lanky Kong Part 2

Part 2: Why you should love him

Lanky Kong has not been in many games since his debut.  In fact, since Donkey Kong 64 he has only been a playable character in one more game.  In those games, however, I believe that Lanky Kong has made an impact in the Donkey Kong Universe.  Lets look at his accomplishments and his powers.

In Donkey Kong 64 Lanky Kong had quite a few helpful abilities.  For an example, he was able to climb very steep hills by doing a hand stand (which is a pretty cool sight to see).  He could also run really really super fast while he was on his hands!  BUT...that's not all!  Lanky Kong could also blow him self up like a balloon and fly a short distance.  That's all pretty cool and very helpful in the game.  In Donkey Kong Barrel Blast, Lanky Kong had a super cool set of blue bangos that was used as a jet pack!

Not only was Lanky Kong powerful, he was also comical.  That is important in a game.  It makes things a bit interesting if there is a character that is a little goofy and funny.  Lanky Kong fits that role perfectly.  I mean, just look at what he looks like!
