Rambi was a powerful rhino who aided the Kongs in most of their adventures. He was the first animal buddy that Donkey Kong encountered in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', within the very first level of the Kongo Jungle. He mostly appeared in the jungle levels. Rambi was also one of the three animal buddies to appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]''. In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', Rambi continued to help the Kongs on [[Crocodile Island]]. In one level, Rambi had to escape from a beehive while being chased by a [[King Zing]].

He mostly appeared in the jungle levels. Rambi was also one of the three animal buddies in [[Donkey Kong Land]]. In [[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]], Rambi continued to help the Kongs on [[Crocodile Island]]. However, he met his match when he found one nut he could not crack in the form of King Zing. Rambi had to spend the tail end of one level fleeing the giant [[Zinger]].
  
After being absent for the third installments of both series, Rambi appeared again in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. This time, Donkey Kong could only utilize Rambi in the Jungle Japes area, and Rambi's main purpose in the game was to break down a special wall. Rambi would later made cameo appearances as a spectator in the ''[[Donkey Konga]]'' games.

This time Donkey Kong could only utilize Rambi in the Jungle Japes area, and Rambi's main purpose in the game was just to break down a special wall. Since then, Rambi has only made cameo appearances jamming to Donkey Kong's beats in the [[Donkey Konga]] games.
 
 
Rambi also appeared in the Dynamite Run level of ''[[Donkey Kong Barrel Blast]]'', where he could be ridden similar to the other games when broken out of his crate. He later reprised his role as animal buddy in several levels of ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]''.

Rambi's horn makes him the strongest of the animals. There is almost nothing that can withstand his horn especially in midcharge. Rambi was helpful for plowing down enemies and smashing into hidden passages. Rambi's only disadvantage was his lack of jumping power, making chasms his greatest enemy.
