King Kong is a fictional giant ape and the antagonist of the film of the same name. In 1982, King Kong was the subject of a lawsuit against Nintendo by Universal Studios, who claimed that the character and scenario of the game Donkey Kong infringed on Universal's rights to the King Kong character.
King Kong also appears in Mario is Missing!, where he is one of the artifacts stolen by Koopas as they invade New York City. Luigi can recover King Kong by defeating a Koopa found in the city. If Luigi asks a passerby about his current location when he is near the Empire State Building, they will reply that "Mr. Kong can pick the Empire State Building out of this jungle of skyscrapers". Luigi is awarded $1960 for returning King Kong to the Empire State Building.
