Capture Kongs[1] [2] are gray Donkey Kong's robots found in the Mario vs. Donkey Kong series, debuting in Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis . They walk back and forth across level terrain, including spikes, but do not jump. If a Mini touches one, the Capture Kong will capture it, and put it in the sack on its back. The player cannot use that Mini anymore, unless a Mini in its fire form hits it with a fireball or a Mini hits it with a Hammer. Doing this stuns the Capture Kong temporarily and frees any Minis it has captured. Capture Kongs can collect an indefinite amount of Minis, and can end the level in failure if all the Minis are trapped.
A Capture Kong makes a very small appearance as the icon for the promotional game Mario vs. DK 2: Cannon Kaos .
In Mario and Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move , Capture Kongs appear in Many Mini Mayhem, with a slight redesign. The "C" on their ties are changed to a "W", the sack on their backs are replaced with a barrel, and their red eyes are noticeably bigger. Capture Kongs also appear in Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars , where most of their design changes are reverted; however, they still use a barrel to hold Minis instead of a sack.
In Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge , a Capture Kong can be seen in one screenshot on an in-game advertisement for Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars.
