Melee'' (From Japanese to English)] The Mushroom Kingdom (Retrieved May 29, 2010)</ref> is a major character in the ''[[Mario]]'' franchise and the main protagonist of the [[Donkey Kong (franchise)|''Donkey Kong'' franchise]]. A powerful, yet carefree [[Kong]] from [[Donkey Kong Island]], Donkey Kong spends his days collecting [[banana]]s and spending time with his friends, particularly his best friend [[Diddy Kong]]. When trouble arises, Donkey Kong jumps headfirst into the action to help his friends and protect his island. However, he has also been portrayed as a villain on multiple occasions, such as in the [[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (series)|''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' series]]. Despite his name, Donkey Kong is the third known Kong to be named as such; his grandfather [[Cranky Kong]] was the original Donkey Kong, while his father [[Donkey Kong Jr.]] was the second.
