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. | 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.

As I mentioned in the Donkey Kong discussion section...why does it have to be one or the other? If Cranky is DK's grandfather, but raised him as his son, wouldn't that make him both DK's father and grandfather? In DKCR Cranky says to DK "Make sure to shut the gate on your way out. I didn't raise you in a barn!", indicating that Cranky did in fact raise DK, making DK his adopted son.[User:Buddy Christ|Buddy Christ]] ([[User talk:Buddy Christ|talk]]) | As I mentioned in the Donkey Kong discussion section...why does it have to be one or the other?

Since Cranky Kong is currently old, it's obvious that Baby Donkey Kong is the modern Donkey Kong. There's no way Mario and other Star Children could be around the same age as Cranky Kong though due to his appearance (however, Mario and friends are several times older than he appears to be).--[[User:Prince Ludwig|Prince Ludwig]] 17:38, 7 February 2012 (EST) | Since Cranky Kong is currently old, it's obvious that Baby Donkey Kong is the modern Donkey Kong.

== Split the Donkey Kongs? == | |||
It occurred to me that, since the earlier Donkey Kong technically isn't the same character as the one from ''Donkey Kong Country'' onwards, that it may make more sense to merge any info pertaining to the older, Arcade Donkey Kong from the Donkey Kong article and place it in this one. I'm not sure how others would feel about this drastic a change, though, but it would help keep the two characters separate as per the official final world.

:Yes, that would make sense and clear things up a bit. {{User:LeftyGreenMario/sig}} 13:01, 12 August 2013 (EDT) | |||
== So in Tropical Freeze, is Cranky Kong called Donkey Kong's grandfather again? == | |||
If so, I think it'll have been consistent enough at this point for the Wiki to stick with that, since currently Cranky Kong's relation to Donkey Kong is in the Identity confusion section, and the last time Cranky was ever called his father was by (latter-day) Rare over a decade ago.

==Donkey Kong Sr.== | |||
Given that ''Playing With Super Power: Nintendo Super NES Classics'' unnecessarily contributes to [[Cranky Kong#Identity confusion|Cranky Kong's identity confusion]], does there exist an earlier official source for the name "Donkey Kong Sr."? If not, I think it should be removed from the introductory paragraph and used only as a redirect.

==Move Donkey Kong info to this page== | |||
I believe that we should merge the info from the original Donkey Kong arcade games on Donkey Kong's page to this page because most video games these days such as Mario Superstar Baseball state that Cranky was the original Donkey Kong. Only Super Smash Bros. keeps up the whole Arcade!Donkey Kong and DKC!Donkey Kong are the same guy thing and even then only halfway (the bios state they're the same guy, but Snake's codec call and the Cranky Kong Spirit battle state Cranky's the original DK). If we did, we'd do the games, remakes, Saturday Supercade, Super Mario Odyssey, Pixels and Nintendo Adventure Book Doors to Doom!

:The main reason we have the original Donkey Kong information on that page is to avoid confusing readers who are not aware of this. There are times where good organisation of information for readers' benefit is better than organising just for creators intent, and this is one of them. {{User:Swallow/sig}} 12:27, February 28, 2022 (EST) | |||
