Baby Kong

Baby Kong is a younger version of Donkey Kong exclusive to the Donkey Kong Country TV series. He is a stereotypical infant that cries and pouts a lot and shakes his rattle and sucks his pacifier. In Ape Foo Young, Donkey Kong accidentally drinks Cranky's youth serum, and his body regresses to resemble that of an infant. When Candy Kong arrives at the home and starts to believe she is being stood up, Diddy Kong lies and says that DK is busy suddenly caring for his toddler nephew. Candy is unaware that "Baby Kong" (as the characters call him) is actually DK, and is taken a shine to him. Cranky later states in the same episode that he is puzzled because DK has no nephew, but then realizes what DK has done. The effect is temporary, however, and DK returns to normal by the end of the episode. However, in Baby Kong Blues, Baby Kong inexplicably reappears as a separate character under the care of Candy and Dixie. On a bet with them, he is lost while being baby-sat by DK and Diddy. King K. Rool tries to raise him as his heir after finding him until Donkey Kong eventually manages to convince him otherwise.
