In the Games
Donkey Kong Country
In Donkey Kong Country, Rambi first appears in the game's first level, Jungle Hijinxs. When he is freed from his Animal Crate, Donkey or Diddy Kong can ride him and make use of his power. His abilities in this game include the ability to kill enemies by ramming into them with his large horn (including Zingers) and break down breakable walls with his horn. He also runs faster than either DK or Diddy Kong.
Donkey Kong Land
In Donkey Kong Land, Rambi plays exactly the same as in Donkey Kong Country.
Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest
In Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, Rambi again first appears in the first stage, Pirate Panic. In this game, his abilities are upgraded so that he now has a charge attack which is performed by holding and releasing the A button in the Super Nintendo version and R in the Game Boy Advance version. The charge attack is needed to break down walls as Rambi. Also, in addition to riding him, Diddy and Dixie Kong will also be transformed into him in some levels.
Donkey Kong Land 2
In Donkey Kong Land 2, Rambi plays exactly the same role as in Donkey Kong Country 2.
Donkey Kong 64
In Donkey Kong 64, Rambi appears in Jungle Japes and Hideout Helm. Donkey Kong transforms into Rambi when he jumps into his Animal Crate. Rambi's moves are identical to those in DKC2.
Donkey Kong Country Returns
In Donkey Kong Country Returns, Rambi is set to appear. According to a new preview and trailer, Rambi is able to destroy almost anything, from spikes to giant stone blocks. Rambi's two main weaknesses in this game are fire and, of course, bottomless pits.[1]
