Talk:Donkey Kong Jr.

Just to clear things up: DK Jr. is NOT the younger version of DK. Baby DK is. WF99 15:06, 27 August 2006 (EDT)
 * According to Rare and Donkey Kong 64, the current Donkey Kong is the son of the first Donkey Kong, Cranky Kong. Donkey Kong Jr. is the son of the original Donkey Kong and as such, Donkey Kong Jr. is the current Donkey Kong. Mario Superstar Baseball also says that the current Donkey Kong has an ancestor that does not wear a tie (the original Donkey Kong). The current and the old are two distinct Donkey Kongs. It is unknown if Baby DK is the baby form of DK Jr. (the current Donkey Kong) or Cranky Kong (the original Donkey Kong). Also, Yoshi's Island 2 has not been released yet, so information regarding Baby DK is not yet canon (although it appears Baby DK will be the youngest version of the current Donkey Kong, meaning DK Jr. is the adolescent version of the current DK). -- User: Son of Suns


 * Okay, you make a valid point, but did you have to delete everything else I added to the article? I had a lot of other useful info in there, too.

 * I apologize for my brash revert. Thanks for putting your info back in. =) -- Son of Suns

It says in the manual of Donkey Kong Country that Cranky Kong is the grandfather of the current Donkey Kong, so wouldn't this mean that the current Donkey Kong is not Donkey Kong Jr. but in fact Donkey Kong Jr's son? It says in the story section "He groggily rolled over to see the familiar wrinkled, white-bearded, grouchy face of his old granddad 'Cranky Kong' peering down at him."-- User: XellKhaar

I thought Cranky Kong was the father of the original Donkey Kong. That would make DK Jr. The current Donkey Kong and his grandfather.

Snake's codec conversation on Donkey Kong in Brawl confirms that Donkey kong's grandfather was the Kong that kidnapped pauline and fought Mario, and cranky Kong has previously been confirmed to fill this role. This effectively makes Cranky kong the original Donkey kong, and DK's grandfather, while Donkey Kong Jr. is now officially DK's dad.

 * Well, Melee had a lot of errors as well like how it said in Daisy's trophy that she appeared in Mario Golf. Candy Kong's trophy also states that she's DK's rumored girlfriend yet the Donkey Kong Country games clearly said Candy Kong was his girlfriend. http://img247.imageshack.us/img247/3473/linkswordmi2.gif Paper Jorge ( Talk&middot;Contributions)&middot; http://img247.imageshack.us/img247/3473/linkswordmi2.gif

It may be because I'm biased agaist Super Smash Bros. Brawl (crude humor, violence... grr), but I think it's better to rely on the main series for the bgest canonical information.

Something completely different and unrelated. There are two of the Mario's Tennis picture of Donkey Kong Jr., and Image:Mario'sT DonkeyKongJr.jpg. One is on this page (Donkey Kong Jr.) and one is on the Mario's Tennis page. Shouldn't one be deleted? 17:36, 11 April 2008 (EDT)

And... the latest edit by Princess Michiru says that Donkey Kong in DKC is a totally new character who is not Donkey Kong Jr. Is there any proof of that? No, I don't think that's true. I think what it said before was correct. 11:13, 7 June 2008 (EDT)

As bad as speculation is, we need to adhere to some of it. If we have no proof in either direction, then both possibilities should be mentioned in the article. I'm going to change something, tell me if anyone here approves. - Ultimatetoad

Punch-Out!!
How do we know the audience member isn't arcade-style Donkey Kong (Cranky Kong, I guess)? 22:33, 27 October 2009 (EDT)
 * There are two apes in the audience, so the bigger one has to be Donkey Kong (aka Cranky), while the smaller ape is Junior. --Grandy02 12:18, 9 February 2010 (EST)

DK or junior?
Okay,so according to the cranky kong article,Cranky was kidnapped by Mario.But the DK jr article says that donkey kong jr has to save His father.But,Donkey Kong is his father,not cranky!Am I right?
 * There has always been confusion about the identity of "Donkey Kong" since Donkey Kong Country, which introduced the DK of today. To clear it up:
 * Cranky Kong is the aged version of the original Donkey Kong from the arcade games. So both are the same ape.
 * Donkey Kong Jr. is the son of the original Donkey Kong (aka Cranky).
 * The Donkey Kong who stars in recent games first appeared in Donkey Kong Country. He is the grandson of the original DK (Cranky), which makes him the son of Junior. His identity is inconsistent, though. He has also been called Cranky's son (which would make him the grown-up Junior), or it has even been implied that there has always been only one Donkey Kong.
 * Well, but that the current DK is the original DK's grandson seems to be the most accepted identity. I suggest you to read about "Kongtroversy" for further information. --Grandy02 08:20, 26 February 2010 (EST)
