*Oddly, several games in which Donkey Kong Jr. appears contain doppelgängers. Examples of such games include the ''[[Game & Watch#Game & Watch Gallery series|Game & Watch Gallery]]'' series (which seems to depict Donkey Kong Jr. as a species rather than an individual character), ''Donkey Kong Jr. Math'' (which includes a [[Junior (II)|second Donkey Kong Jr. colored pink]]), and ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' (which includes many Donkey Kong Jr. lookalikes as audience members in [[GCN Waluigi Stadium|Waluigi Stadium]]). | *Oddly, several games in which Donkey Kong Jr. appears contain doppelgängers.

An early design for the [[Helper Monkey]]s in ''[[Donkey Kong Jungle Beat]]'' also resembled multiple Donkey Kong Jrs. (particularly his prototypical ''Double Dash!!'' model), but without his shirt. | ||
