Donkey Kong's character design was created by [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] for the ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'' Arcade game, in which the big ape kidnaps [[Mario]]'s (originally Jumpman's) original girlfriend, [[Pauline]].

Donkey Kong tries to kidnap Pauline yet again in the 1994 [[Game Boy]] remake ''[[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Donkey Kong]]'', and this time he's accompanied by his son, [[Donkey Kong Jr.]] Donkey Kong's tactics in this game remain virtually the same, attacking mainly by throwing a variety of objects at Mario, although there are unique stage hazards whenever he confronts Donkey Kong. In the end, Donkey Kong transformed into a giant using the [[Super Mushroom]]s, but he was defeated. | Donkey Kong tries to kidnap Pauline yet again in the 1994 [[Game Boy]] remake ''[[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Donkey Kong]]'', and this time he's accompanied by his son, [[Donkey Kong Jr.]] Donkey Kong's tactics in this game remain virtually the same, attacking mainly by throwing a variety of objects at Mario, although there are unique stage hazards whenever he confronts Donkey Kong.
