fter defeating K. Rool and getting his Banana Hoard back, DK relaxes back on Donkey Kong Island with his friends. When it gets dark, and all the Kongs have gone home, DK still relaxes on the beach.Diddy comes back in the morning to find that the K. Rool (known as '''Kaptain K. Rool''' in this game) and his Kremlings have returned, and kidnapped DK! DK himself doesn't play a starring role in this game, since he is being held captive on [[Crocodile Isle]], the home of the Kremlings - it is Diddy's job to save him! Diddy also brings his girlfriend, [[Dixie Kong]] along with him, to help him in his quest. Diddy and Dixie fight through Crocodile Isle to [[K. Rool's Keep]], where they find DK. However, he is whisked away again (and in the Game Boy version, left to fight the giant Kremling, [[Kerozene]]). Diddy and Dixie chase K. Rool up to the [[Flying Krock]], where they engage him. When the time is right, they release DK, who sends K. Rool flying into the swamps of [[Krem Quay]]. Diddy and Dixie chase him to the [[Lost World]] for a final showdown. This game introduces [[Wrinkly Kong]] - Cranky's wife and DK's supposed mother - and [[Swanky Kong]] - thought by some to be DK's brother. There are also new animal buddies - [[Rattly]] the Rattlesnake, [[Clapper]] the Seal, [[Glimmer]] the Anglerfish, [[Squitter]] the Spider and [[Flapper]] the Parrot. | fter defeating K.

Some time after Donkey and Diddy were rescued from Baron K. Roolenstein a contest to discover the sunken [[Lost World (Donkey Kong Land III)|Lost World]] opens up. DK and Diddy, hungry for adventure decide to enter and scour the Northern Kremisphere for the Lost World; leaving Dixie and Kiddy behind. Despite being apart of the storyline of ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'' Donkey (and Diddy) do not actually appear in the game, presumebly the pair where exploring a different part of the Northern Kremisphere than the part Dixie and Kiddy were exploring. | Some time after Donkey and Diddy were rescued from Baron K.

Donkey Kong finally gets his starring role back in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', his first true 3D outing. This game also sees the return of Diddy. Both are playable characters, along with three new Kongs; [[Lanky Kong]], [[Tiny Kong]] (Dixie's younger sister) and [[Chunky Kong]] (Kiddy's older brother). In this game, K. Rool (returning to his old title of 'King' K. Rool from ''Donkey Kong Country'') attacks Donkey Kong Island with a huge battleship, shaped in likeness of K. Rool himself. However, due to incompetant pilots, the ship crashes into Donkey Kong Island, allowing passage between both places. K. Rool steals DK's [[Golden Bananas]], and imprisons the other four Kongs. Squawks informs DK of the disaster, and he sets out immediately to save the other Kongs and retrieve his Golden Bananas. | Donkey Kong finally gets his starring role back in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', his first true 3D outing.

Much later after their fights, Donkey Kong became a ''bit'' friendly in the sport series and ''[[Mario Party]]'' series. He was playable in the Mario Party series, however in ''[[Mario Party 5]]'' and later Mario Party games became more of a host. He was like the opposite of Bowser and was a benifit to whoever laned on his space. | |||

Mario and Donkey Kong duel again in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'', it was almost identically similar to the original, though it had better graphics and the newer Donkey Kong. Here instead of stealing Pauline, he steals [[Mini-Mario Toy]]s, toys made by the [[Mario Toy Company]]. Mario like in the origianl Donkey Kong, getsd them back. While watching T.V. one day, Donkey Kong sees a commercial for a new toy, the [[Mini-Mario]] Toy. He instantly falls in love with the little toys, and is determined to get one. But when he gets to the store, they're sold out. In a fit of rage, Donkey Kong steals a whole sack full of the toys. However, little does he know that Mario, the old foe of the Kong Family, is equally determined to get them back. Donkey Kong sets many traps for Mario, but in the end he is caught and forced to give the toys back. | Mario and Donkey Kong duel again in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'', it was almost identically similar to the original, though it had better graphics and the newer Donkey Kong.

In the sequel, ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis]]'', he now works in the Mario Toy Company. Donkey Kong then kidnaps Pauline, the V. I. P. guest, when she chooses Mario's Mini-Mario toy over his [[Mini-Donkey Kong|Mini-DK]] toy. It is likely that he made the Mini-Donkey Kong toys, and perhaps he created the monkey-like enemies that appear in the game. | In the sequel, ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis]]'', he now works in the Mario Toy Company.
