Cranky Kong , Donkey Kong Country

Rambi is a recurring rhinoceros Animal Friend who first appears in Donkey Kong Country . Rambi is a strong ally of the Kongs, and he can charge into enemies, attack with his horn, and break open fragile walls leading into a Bonus Level. Rambi only appears in a few select levels in every game that he appears in, or a single location.

History[edit ]

Donkey Kong Country series[edit ]

Donkey Kong Country[edit ]

“Keep your eyes peeled for Rambi the rhino! He can crash into almost any hidden room.”
Cranky Kong

In Donkey Kong Country, Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong can ride Rambi after freeing him from his animal crate. Rambi can use his horn to break open fragile walls, like what barrels can do. He can defeat most enemies by moving into them, including Zingers. Like other Animal Friends, if Rambi gets hit by a level hazard (such as Mincers or flaming oil drums), he runs away. Rambi is the first Animal Friend encountered, and he appears in the first level, Jungle Hijinxs, and later appears in Oil Drum Alley and Manic Mincers.

Rambi is featured on some of the animal tokens. When Donkey Kong and Diddy obtain three Rambi Tokens, the player is redirected to the "Rambi Bonus!"; this area is set in a snowy location, where the player controls Rambi individually and must have him collect mini Rambi Tokens.

Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest[edit ]

Rambi Rumble

Rambi reappears in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest , acting mostly the same as in Donkey Kong Country, though his normal speed is slower. However, Rambi received the ability to perform a supercharge, which allows him to perform a fast charge to break open some walls (leading into bonus rooms), or plow through enemies easily. Due to the introduction of Animal Barrels, there are a few levels where Diddy and Dixie transform into Rambi, but there are still levels where they ride on him. His gray coloration from Donkey Kong Country is now tinted brown.

Rambi appears in a few levels. Similarly to Donkey Kong Country, the first time that Rambi is in the first level, Pirate Panic, right after the Star Barrel. From there, the Kongs can optionally ride him until they cross the No Animal Sign. In this level, it is possible for two Rambis to be on-screen at the same time.[5] Rambi appears a second time in Red-Hot Ride, as well as a third time in Barrel Bayou, though his crate and sign are near the start and Star Barrel, respectively. Rambi Rumble is Rambi's signature level and notably the first level where he can be transformed into from an Animal Barrel, a requirement during the second half of the level. Rambi is chased by King Zing during a portion of the level, during which the "Run, Rambi! Run!" theme plays, although not in the Game Boy Advance version, as it plays "Bad Bird Rag" instead. Rambi can be transformed into in two later levels: in Castle Crush, during the first half, and in Animal Antics, as the first Animal Friend used.

At Swanky's Bonus Bonanza in Krem Quay, one of the questions that Swanky Kong asks is Rambi's name, with the incorrect answers being "Bambam" and "Rambus".

Donkey Kong Country Returns (3D / HD)[edit ]

Rambi the Rhino

Rambi reappears in Donkey Kong Country Returns and its Nintendo 3DS and Switch ports as one of the two returning Animal Friends (the other one is Squawks the Parrot). Do note that "Animal Friend" is not a grouping in this game. Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong can ride Rambi, similarly to how they can in older Donkey Kong Country games; to do so, Donkey Kong must first free Rambi by Ground Pounding or Rolling into his large animal crate. Then they have to jump or land on top of Rambi.

Rambi does not have health in this game, being very close to outright invincible. Rambi destroys spikes, breaks open DK Barrels, and defeats most enemies on contact. If enemies come from most angles, Rambi hops slightly to swings his horn at them. Enemies colliding from behind are defeated with a kick. Enemies that normally take multiple hits to defeat, like Tiki Dooms, are defeated in one hit. Even spiky enemies such as Tiki Zings or enemies that block Barrel Rolls such as Tiki Tanks are defeated. Rambi can destroy stone objects, Cracked Blocks, and other kinds of blocks showing an emblem of his face positioned above him or to his left or right, with a similar horn swing. Certain cracked stones are destroyed on contact, preventing Rambi from standing on them. The enemy rules further apply to Rambi's stomps, meaning enemies otherwise immune to stomping are defeated by Rambi's stomps, and an enemy that can take more than one stomp from the Kongs is defeated in one stomp with Rambi. Rambi is not affected by slopes. The Kongs can dismount Rambi with the same button used for grabbing, with an "down" input required as well if the player is using D-Pad controls. Rambi quickly comes to a stop when dismounted while on the ground, but as he retains momentum in the air the player can drop Rambi onto bouncy flowers or enemies to extend Rambi's movement. In the latter case, Rambi's stomps still count towards chains that generate Banana Coins and Red Balloons.

When Rambi is not being ridden, he does continue to break spikes and fall through rocks Rambi cannot stand on. He also attacks enemies. He cannot break rocks from any direction that is not down, even if they are rocks that Rambi cannot stand on, rebounding from them as per normal movement rules should Rambi collide with rocks at a running speed. All other obstacles phase through Rambi.

Rambi has some moves of his own that can be used while riding him. He can Ground Pound with his front legs, which has all the normal effects of a Ground Pound with the additional effect of breaking stone blocks showing an emblem of Rambi's face. Rambi can also Charge, a rushing attack that is his equivalent of the Kong Roll. He can even jump out of a Charge like a Roll Jump. Rambi cannot grab, crouch or blow, and neither can the Kongs while riding him. While riding Rambi, Diddy's Barrel Jet can only hover for one second.

Rambi's only weaknesses are fire and heat, including flaming enemies such as Flaming Tiki Buzzes and Fireballs. If the player takes damage while riding Rambi, normally only possible because it is from one of these sources, the player loses Rambi. Note that Rambi is not additional protection from damage, the player still loses a heart. Rambi does not flinch like Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong do, though he does still get mercy invincibility. Rather, he starts walking away aimlessly, turning at walls and falling off ledges. This is similar to Yoshi, but Rambi is slower. There is a random chance that Rambi turns around when he starts walking. Rambi also walks away if fire touches Rambi while he is not being ridden, but never turns around before starting to do so. If he is already walking, Rambi always turns around as well. Unlike earlier Donkey Kong Country games, and also like Yoshi, the player can ride Rambi again to regain control of him. Lava is a special case. While Rambi only takes damage from lava, the lack of protection means the player usually is defeated by riding into lava anyway.

Rambi's position in a level is remembered even if he is off screen or the player enters a transition to another room. Rambi cannot be taken into Bonus rooms, but the game keeps track of if the player enters one with Rambi and has the Kongs ride Rambi when exiting if that is true. Rambi vanishes on contact with the Slot Machine Barrel that concludes each level.

Rambi first appears in the third level, Tree Top Bop. He appears in a total of four levels, the other three being: Temple Topple, Precarious Plateau, and Smokey Peak. Rambi is outright required in Temple Topple and Smokey Peak, with crates positioned across the stage so that Rambi is easily accessible. The remaining two levels can be completed without Rambi, though hidden areas can require his abilities. Crates are less common in those levels. Rambi is part of the Volcano's diorama.

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze[edit ]

Mountain Mania

Rambi reappears in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze and its Nintendo Switch port, where he mostly retains the same role as in Donkey Kong Country Returns. He is still vulnerable to fire and flaming enemies, such as Blue Hootz. In addition, Dixie Kong and Cranky Kong can make use of their respective ability while riding Rambi: Helicopter Spin and Cane Bounce. Dixie's Helicopter Spin is less effective while she is riding Rambi. In the Nintendo Switch version, Funky Kong is able to perform a Double Jump while riding Rambi: like Cranky's Cane Bounce, the Double Jump is not affected by Rambi's weight.

Like Donkey Kong Country, Rambi only appears in three levels: Mountain Mania, Frantic Fields, and Meltdown Mayhem. Unlike in the previous game, Rambi Crates cannot be broken by rolling into them.

While Rambi is mostly referred to with male pronouns, the Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze: Prima Official Game Guide refers to the character as "her".[6]

Donkey Kong Land series[edit ]

Donkey Kong Land[edit ]

In Donkey Kong Land , Rambi is only one of two Animal Friends that appear, the other one being Expresso the Ostrich, and he appears in four levels: Jungle Jaunt, Tricky Temple, Pot Hole Panic, and lastly Mountain Mayhem.

Donkey Kong Land 2[edit ]

In Donkey Kong Land 2 , Rambi retains his supercharge ability from Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, although Rambi can no longer break open walls leading to a Bonus Level since all of them are accessible from a Bonus Barrel. There are no Animal Crates in Donkey Kong Land 2 so the only way to use Rambi is to transform into him with a Rambi Barrel. Rambi appears in five levels: Gangplank Galley, Redhot Ride, Barrel Bayou, Rambi Rumble, and lastly Animal Antics.

Donkey Kong in: Banana Day 24[edit ]

In the Club Nintendo comic Donkey Kong in: Banana Day 24 , Donkey Kong is briefly seen riding Rambi to an airport.

Donkey Kong 64[edit ]

Screenshot of Rambi from Donkey Kong 64
Rambi moving around Jungle Japes in Donkey Kong 64

In Donkey Kong 64 , there is an animal crate of Rambi in Jungle Japes, and it can only be entered by Donkey Kong. By entering it, Donkey Kong transforms into Rambi, which is required for him to obtain a Golden Banana. Rambi can move around quickly and easily defeat Gnawty enemies just by making contact with them; he is also invulnerable to damage. Rambi can destroy the nearby wooden huts and a stone barrier with his face on it. If Rambi goes out of bounds, he transforms back into Donkey Kong. Rambi is also controlled in one of Donkey Kong's Hideout Helm challenges, where the goal is to defeat 18 Kritters while avoiding the electrical pylons which will turn Rambi back into Donkey Kong. Rambi is featured in his own unlockable mode named Rambi Arena, which, like the Enguarde Arena, can be unlocked after the Kongs have taken photographs of six Banana Fairies. In the mode, Rambi tries to defeat as many Gnawties within the time limit.

Rambi is mentioned and criticized by Cranky Kong in the instruction manual: "I just hope they've included poor old Winky and Expresso this time instead of that bone-brained rhino that always seems to get in the games."

By exploiting a glitch to bring Rambi outside of his usual confines, the player can see a normally unused dogpaddling animation whenever he enters water.[7]

Picross NP Vol. 8[edit ]

Rambi appears in Picross NP Vol. 8 on one of the images that must be cleared.

Donkey Konga series[edit ]

The "Jam Session" mode of Donkey Konga
Rambi in the "Jam Session" mode of Donkey Konga (bottom-left)

Rambi reappears in Donkey Konga as a background character in two modes. In "Challenge", he appears at the bottom-left corner of the screen, next to the song number counter. In "Jam Session", he and the other background characters, including King K. Rool, Cranky Kong, Diddy Kong, Ellie and the Banana Birds, appear on the bottom screen while the player performs a "jam session". In this game, Rambi was drastically redesigned, where he was based more on a white rhinoceros.

In Donkey Konga 2 , the Rambi Roundabout is a carousel-style amusement park ride that is seen in the Konga Land and Konga Nightlife backgrounds. It has seats that are shaped like Rambi. According to Dixie's Notes, it is the first ride she visits when going to the amusement park.

Rambi makes several cameo appearances in Donkey Konga 3 . A portrait of Rambi can be seen in the Snowman (Fuyu) background, and the Picnic (Haru) background features multiple Rambi-shaped trees alongside trees shaped like the DK emblem. Rambi is among the characters whose artwork appears in Freestyle Zone while the player plays the DK Bongos.

Mario Kart series[edit ]

While Rambi himself does not appear in the Mario Kart series, the front of the Rambi Rider, a kart from Mario Kart DS , is designed like Rambi's head. The kart returns in Mario Kart Tour , in the Jungle Tour.

Donkey Kong: Barrel Blast[edit ]

In Donkey Kong: Barrel Blast , Rambi appears in the course Dynamite Run, where the Kongs and Kremlings can ride Rambi by freeing him from his animal crate. Rambi increases the players' speed and has the ability to charge through barrels and boulders.

Super Smash Bros. series[edit ]

Rambi has appeared as an item a few times in the Super Smash Bros. series. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl , Rambi is featured as both a trophy, which can be randomly obtained in one of the single-player modes, and as a sticker, which increases arm-based attacks by 13 points when used by any fighter in The Subspace Emissary. In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, another collectible trophy of Rambi appears. In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Rambi appears as an Ace-class Attack-type primary spirit with one support slot. The spirit slightly increases movement speed in battle. In World of Light, the spirit is located in the northern part of Forest Hill, a sub-world of the Light Realm. The spirit's puppet fighter is a white Donkey Kong who can deal damage by dashing into the player, and is fought on the omega form of the Kongo Falls stage.

Super Mario Odyssey[edit ]

A street named after Rambi appears in New Donk City in Super Mario Odyssey .

Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle[edit ]

In the Donkey Kong Adventure story of Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle , one of Rabbid Peach's Blaster weapons, the Horn-Nosed Needler, is based on Rambi's appearance. The weapon's description states that it is officially licensed Rambi merchandise.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie[edit ]

In The Super Mario Bros. Movie , Rambi's head is seen in the emblem on some of the karts built by the Kong army.

Super Nintendo World[edit ]

An animatronic of Rambi appears in the Rambi's Bongo Breakout activity in the Donkey Kong Country area of Super Nintendo World. It emerges from an animal crate after participants correctly hit the congas in time.

Tetris 99[edit ]

In Tetris 99 , Rambi appears in the background of the Donkey Kong Country Returns HD theme (released alongside the 45th Maximus Cup) in the theme customization menu. The blocks with Rambi's face on them from that game also serve as the Garbage blocks when the theme is used.

Donkey Kong Bananza[edit ]

Rambi appears in Donkey Kong Bananza in several layers of the Underground World alongside Cranky Kong. His design in this game is more reminiscent of the one used in Donkey Kong: Barrel Blast (being closer to the one originally seen in Donkey Kong Country ), as opposed to the redesign used in Donkey Kong Country Returns . Multiple Rambis appear in the Racing Layer as part of the Rambi Rumble event, where participants race on Rambis and Donkey Kong and Pauline can race against Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong. The two Kongs also mention that they rode on the Rambis to Ingot Isle. A small Rambi plush can also be seen on the Racing Layer's reception desk and in the background of DK's Tree House in the Nostalgia Country Challenge Course in the Hilltop Layer.

In the DK Island & Emerald Rush DLC, multiple Rambis can be found and interacted with on DK Island. If interacted with, Donkey Kong can bring Diddy Kong, Dixie Kong, and Cranky Kong to that area for Photo Mode.

Unused appearances[edit ]

Since you can’t blow while on Rambi, dismount if you need to deal with some flowers or other such objects. While Rambi is tough, stay away from flames and flaming enemies. Hitting these will cause Rambi to throw you off. Rambi will start to walk away, so get back on or you will lose the rhino.[16]

Naming[edit ]

Rambi's name is a portmanteau of "ram", referring to his main method of attack, and "bambi", a shortening of the word "bambino" (Italian for "boy") mainly known in other languages for the fictional deer.

Notes[edit ]

  • While Rambi himself does not appear in the Saturday Supercade episode "Hairy Parent" (due to the show predating Donkey Kong Country by roughly a decade), the climax of said episode involves Donkey Kong riding an ill-tempered rhino in a similar fashion that looks not unlike Rambi.
  • Although Rambi never appeared in the animated series, he was featured in a commercial for the Game Boy Color remake of the original Donkey Kong Country video game that featured Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, General Klump, and Krusha in their designs from the show's third season, with Rambi presented in a very similar style.
  • While Rambi does not appear in Mario vs. Donkey Kong for the Nintendo Switch, RamRams, which were originally small rhinoceroses with a more distinctive look, were redesigned to look more like Rambi.
