The Donkey Kong Series is a series based on a character that appeared in the first Mario game. It wasn't too long until the character branched off into a series of his own, as did the other.
History
Pre-NES and NES Era
Donkey Kong was created by Shigeru Miyamoto in 1981. In this game, Donkey Kong was the villain who kidnapped the hero (Mario, at the time called "Jumpman")'s girlfriend (Pauline).
Years later, another game was created, Donkey Kong Jr.. This time, the roles were reversed. Mario was the villain, and DK was a good-guy. Here, Donkey Kong Jr., Donkey Kong's son, was to save his kidnapped father from Mario.
The final game in this series was Donkey Kong 3, whereas Stanley the Bugman fought DK.
All of these games were ported to the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES for short).
Donkey Kong played a main role in many Game & Watch systems.
