Donkey Kong: Difference between revisions

'''Donkey Kong''', also known casually as '''DK''' or '''D. Kong''',<ref>[https://themushroomkingdom.net/mk64_j-e.shtml#pselect ''Mario Kart 64'' (From Japanese to English)] The Mushroom Kingdom (Retrieved August 15, 2018)</ref><ref>[http://www.themushroomkingdom.net/ssbm_j2e.shtml#cselect ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' (From Japanese to English)] The Mushroom Kingdom (Retrieved May 29, 2010)</ref> is a major character in the [[Mario (franchise)|''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 an antagonist on multiple occasions, such as in the [[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (series)|''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' series]]. Donkey Kong is the name of two Kongs; as of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', the original Donkey Kong is currently known as [[Cranky Kong]], with the current Donkey Kong being Cranky's grandson and [[Donkey Kong Jr.]]'s son.

Donkey Kong's defining traits are his inhuman strength, unusual appearance, love of bananas, his eccentric voice, and his tie: his signature look.
