Talk:Donkey Kong (coloring/activity books)

Chronology found???

I have been trying to find scans for these coloring books and adding plots to the page. And today I found the plot for the fourth book, which I am now theorizing to be the third. Because I found an eBay listing for the second book which shows the ending. Which just so happens to continue to the one I found scans for. This would also explain the third (now first) book to end abruptly. And even more then that, the Internet Archives listing for that book claims to be the first one. So I think I found the chronology for the first few books. I am trying to obtain more so I can cover them here. Am I insane for over analyzing coloring books meant for children that are over 40 years old? Probably.

Here is the eBay listings. Might want to save some of these pages on the wiki before it's gone. https://www.ebay.com/itm/355945597990?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&mkscid=101&itemid=355945597990&targetid=2299003535955&device=m&mktype=pla&googleloc=9033389&poi=&campaignid=21214315381&mkgroupid=161363866036&rlsatarget=pla-2299003535955&abcId=9407526&merchantid=5351178887&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAD_QDh94csBMs35uGurYh3MCIr677&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI0Ziv2vmWigMVZzmtBh15VQKXEAQYAiABEgIPaPD_BwE

About the order of the third and fourth Donkey Kong Strikes Again! coloring books

This talk page or section has a conflict or question that needs to be answered. Please try to help and resolve the issue by leaving a comment.

I think that the third and fourth books in the Donkey Kong Strikes Again! line are actually the first and second books, respectively, as the first book in the line shows that Pauline had become successful and has her own club, as well as being the new owner of Video Land Amusement Park, whereas the third book still has her as a singer at "The Big Show."

My theory is that the third book is the first book due to its opening fitting in well with the previous line-up. That would put the fourth book as the second, but I might be wrong. Speaking of which, I might contact Retro Reprints for the scans of that book, but I am a little hesitant, as I haven't done something like this before. Rykitu

I just contacted them. I will return if there are any updates. Rykitu
