Sure for his cartoon, but by using other sources they lowered Knuckles intelligence, therefor giving DK the win.

Knuckles could of been smarter and still lost. The Strength difference the two have is immense, and the two have the same combat skill which is what really matters.

Even then he's never been a clever Echidna.

And the speed? Because you know, strength doesn't matter if you can't hit him. They act as if it was a small difference and not like Knuckles would be running circles around him the entire time. DK would never even hit him while Knuckles uses his steel punching claws to rip him to shreds.

Kong's not exactly slow himself and Knuckles doesn't have any range options, he's gotta get close to DK to actually deal damage. That puts him in the Danger Zone.

The Shovel Claws? Nothing compared to tanking an explosion that sent him into orbit.

Yeah but he's not super sonic. The danger zone means nothing if he can zip right out of there.

We have no idea how close to orbit that moon really was. DB said themselves that it wasn't like our universe.

Knuckles can outspeed DK but DK can actually throw punches extremely fast, seen here.

Even so, he still survived the explosion that sent him there, and still managed to fall from space without getting his skin ripped off, which is something.

Fair enough, though Knuckles can move out the way in the blink of an eye DK's not gonna let him get off scott-free if he slips up.

He was on a moon. If I was on a moon(granted with oxygen) and it fell to Earth I wouldn't be in that much danger.

...You can survive atmospheric reentry?

On a moon, I think so, don't know enough about the science to answer that. If you mean on my own then no, but can DK do it either?
