Lanky Kong: Difference between revisions

*'''Instruction booklet bio from Professor Cranky Kong''' (page 7): "''A newcomer to the Kong clan and the joker of the pack. I haven’t a clue whom he’s related to – must be some distant cousin or something. Those silly stretchy arms give him plenty of potential, but I’m sure he’ll be too busy clowning around to be of much use.''"

*'''Nintendo Player's Guide''' (page 5): "''This knuckle-dragging Kong looks like a clown, and it's more than just a coincidence. Think of him as a twisted twig on a distant branch of the family tree. Kremlings and Klaptraps may snicker at his goofy gait as he ambles in their direction, but there's nothing funny about a hyperextended sucker punch.''"

*'''Nintendo Player's Guide''' (page 118): "''Long-limbed Lanky Kong has a distinct advantage in close- and mid-range encounters with his spin attack. In the Battle Arena, or on platforms in Monkey Smash, that can give you a big advantage. Lanky has some good jump attacks, as well.''"

*'''Prima Official Game Guide''' (page 11): "''This Kong is rubbery and goofy. Those long arms may seem clumsy, but Lanky can use them well. Just like his relatives, the orangutan has moves that let him get to places others can't reach. He's not the fastest of the crew, and he can't jump the highest, but Lanky's got all the skills he need to help take on K. Rool.''"

*'''German website''': "''To the satisfaction of the other Kongs, Lanky has been at home on the DK islands for some time now. Originally he comes from the more distant Utan island, where relatives of the Kongs live.<br>The society there was much too boring and conservative for Lanky, however, so that he was attracted to the slightly chaotic members of the Kong clan.<br>Here he feels much more comfortable, since his constant silliness is always appreciated, especially by Chunky and Kiddy. Even a television offer could not move the enthuasiastic comedian to leave the island: he has been dying to experience an exciting adventure for quite some time! As a child Lanky made a bet with a friend, who could hang on a limb the longest.<br>Today you can still tell by his arms that Lanky won the bet!''"
