DK: King of Swing is a puzzle-platform video game developed by Paon and published by Nintendo. King of Swing diverges from the gameplay of other games in the Donkey Kong series, instead featuring characters rotating around pegs to progress similar to the NES game Clu Clu Land.Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page). |1UP = B |NWR = 9.5/10 |GSpot = 7.3/10 |GI = 7.75/10 |XPlay=GBA |MC = 70/100 |GR = 71.85% }}

DK: King of Swing has received mixed reception, garnering an aggregate score of 71.85% on GameRankings based on 39 reviews. IGN gave the game a score of 7.8 out of 10, criticizing the cartoon-style graphics as being a big step back from the pre-rendered 3D rendered graphics featured in the Donkey Kong Country series. However, they concluded that "DK: King of Swing is a classic example of a Nintendo game attempting something that's both unique and familiar at the same time."

Sequel

A sequel to DK: King of Swing, titled DK: Jungle Climber, was released in 2007 for the Nintendo DS. It received favorable reviews and was generally considered an improvement over King of Swing.
