Derived species[edit]
I know that's how this wiki is formatted, but since "monkey bot" is a class of enemies, I'd say the shown variations are more like "Representative species" but I guess it doesn't matter

New name[edit]
Should we change this to Donkey Kong's robots given that it's the new name? PrincessPeachFan (talk) 13:54, October 12, 2023 (EDT)
- Probably. The French name seems to indicate that it's specifically one of the robots made in Donkey Kong's image. LinkTheLefty (talk) 08:18, October 13, 2023 (EDT)
Cursed Mini Marios?[edit]
Does the robot monkey that controls a Cursed Mini Mario count as part of this group here? It seems like it would count as one of Donkey Kong's robots, since it is a robotic toy monkey enemy. --Metalex123 (talk) 16:54, June 17, 2026 (UTC)
- It was here. I removed it. To quote the edit summary in question, "Absent any sources [for Cursed Mini Mario being a member of this group], I'm removing Cursed Mini Mario for breaking a rule that otherwise defines this group of characters: it deals damage on contact and none of the others do." It doesn't really help that Cursed Mini Mario is an enemy ("When an enemy takes control of a Mini Mario, it becomes a Cursed Mini Mario".) where Donkey Kong's robots aren't enemies in Tipping Stars. (Touching an enemy is defined by the manual as an action that causes a game over. Touching Donkey Kong's robots doesn't directly cause a game over.) Salmancer (talk) 17:14, June 17, 2026 (UTC)
- Capture Kongs can cause a Game Over. And I don't see how "the others don't hurt" is a good argument against the monkey robots controlling Cursed Mini Marios? Donkey Kong's robots are enemies that usually don't hurt, but I don't see why ones that do damage should be excluded. It's an antagonistic robotic toy monkey like all the other DK robots. If nothing else, at least a note/trivia would be good to have on the page to mention them. --Metalex123 (talk) 05:08, June 22, 2026 (UTC)
Move?[edit]
I think this should be moved to "Donkey Kong's robots" with an 's' at the end. This article is about a group of characters, so it's similar to Bowser's Minions. Fakename123 (talk)
