Donkey Kong: Difference between revisions

[[Pauline]] was kidnapped by both the [[Cranky Kong|original Donkey Kong]] in the Arcade, Game & Watch, and Game Boy games, and the current Donkey Kong in the ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' series. The original Donkey Kong's motive was revenge against Mario for not being a good pet owner, while the current Donkey Kong had two real different variations of the kidnapping. In ''March of the Minis'', it was due to his perceived rejection of his feelings in favor of Mario, and took Pauline away to shower her with gifts. In ''Mini-Land Mayhem!'', Donkey Kong just missed having the free [[Mini Pauline]] that was given to the first 100 guests of the theme park, so he takes the real Pauline instead. Although the current Donkey Kong has ultimately proven to have harmless intentions, Pauline showed constant fear of his temper and anger in ''Mini-Land Mayhem!'', and then was happy and full of joy the two times the gorilla seemed to be finally defeated. Despite this, they remain on friendly terms, and Pauline is generally key to soothing his anger issues. They are even known to work alongside each other, first in ''Mins March Again!'' where the "kidnap" was made to test the current model of Mini Marios, and later in ''Tipping Stars'', where Donkey Kong "kidnapped" Pauline to simply to lure Mario to a surprise party.
