Donkey Kong coloring pages

Free, Printable Donkey Kong Coloring Pages

The collection ranges from Donkey Kong jumping through the air or standing in the jungle to lively scenes with Diddy Kong, Dixie Kong, Bowser, and Mario. Pick a clear pose for a short coloring session, or choose a race, a barrel scene, or a group picture when you want more to work on.

Choose by Age and Skill Level

For kids who are just starting, the simple jungle and jumping pictures are easy to tackle: the main figure stands out, and broad areas are straightforward to fill. A 3-year-old can focus on Donkey Kong’s body and add a few colors to the background, while a 7-year-old may enjoy the banana and barrel scenes, with more objects to notice and color.

The medium-level pictures show Donkey Kong with Diddy, tossing a banana, carrying a bunch, or thumping his chest. These give children a little more to explore without making the central pose hard to follow.

Detailed Donkey Kong Scenes for Adults

For adults and older kids who like careful coloring, look for the detailed scenes. Dixie Kong, Old Man Kong, and the group picture with Dixie and Diddy bring several figures together, while the Kongo Jungle setting gives the background its own shapes and textures.

The racing scenes with Bowser or the barrel image with Mario have more edges and small areas to handle. The picture of an angry Donkey Kong standing on a barrel is another good choice for fine work, with the character’s expression and the barrel’s curved bands to fill in.

Make a Donkey Kong Jungle Adventure

Turn a few pictures into a short story. Start with Donkey Kong in the jungle, then imagine that he spots bananas and barrels before meeting Diddy or Dixie along the way. A child can tell the story aloud while coloring, or draw a path between the scenes on a separate sheet.

For a group activity, let each person color one character or object, then decide together what happens next. A racing picture can become the final scene, with everyone choosing a different color for the karts and deciding who reaches the finish first.

Who Is Donkey Kong?

Donkey Kong is a fictional gorilla created by Shigeru Miyamoto and part of the Mario franchise. He appears in Donkey Kong Country and Super Smash Bros., and these drawings bring together both jungle scenes and crossovers with Mario and Bowser.

That mix makes it easy to prompt a quick conversation as you color: point out which figures belong to the jungle group and which appear in a racing or face-off scene. In the Mario-related pictures, Mario coloring pages offer another familiar face to color.

Choose Colors for the Jungle and Barrels

Brown works well for Donkey Kong’s fur, with a lighter shade on his face and hands; use red for his tie if you want a bright contrast. Bananas can be yellow, and the barrels can use wood browns with darker bands.

For the jungle, combine leafy greens with a few lighter patches so the figures remain easy to see. In racing pictures, give each kart and background detail a distinct color rather than trying to match every scene to one palette.

Print Donkey Kong Coloring Pages as PDFs

Choose “Open the PDF” to view a drawing, or select “Print” to send it straight to a printer; both options work from a phone, too. Use fit-to-page settings if the image looks cropped in the print preview. Regular paper suits crayons and colored pencils, while thicker paper can help with markers and the finer details in the busy scenes.
