DK Kongs

DK Kongs is team lead by Donkey Kong in the game Mario Superstar Baseball. Its additional names are the DK Explorers, DK Wild Ones, and DK Animals. The Sub-Captain, Diddy Kong's, team names are Diddy Survivors, Diddy Ninjas, Diddy Tails, or Diddy Red Caps. The team has set players in Challenge Mode, but the players can be chosen while in Exhibition Mode. If the team is faced by another opponent, they will verse them in the Donkey Kong Jungle stadium.

Team Members
The DK Kongs have the most widespread team in the game. They have two Koopa Troopa's, two Koopa Paratroopa's, both the Goomba's (Goomba and Paragoomba), and three different, notable primates (Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, and Dixie Kong). The DK Kongs team marked Dixie Kong's first appearance in any traditional Mario game. Dixie Kong is also the unlockable of the team, unlocked by defeating Challenge Mode as the DK Kongs.

''Mario Super Sluggers
The team reappeared in Mario Super Sluggers, now known as the DK Wilds and its home stadium is DK Jungle. The DK Wilds is primarily composed of Donkey Kong and some of the Kong family members, including Tiny and Funky, as well as Baby DK. Almost all the Kongs share good chemistry with each other. However, in an ironic twist, the team is also composed of King K. Rool and four Kritters, who all have bad chemistry with the Kongs. Baby DK is also compatible with other teams, such as the Yoshi Eggs, where he shows good chemistry with all the Yoshis. All the common enemies have sided with Wario instead of DK.
