Donkey Kong's first appearance | Donkey Kong's first appearance (where he is later confirmed to be a younger [[Cranky Kong]]) is in the Arcade game of the same name, where he is the main enemy. In the game, Donkey Kong was the pet gorilla of "Jumpman" (later renamed [[Mario]])<ref>[http://themushroomkingdom.net/interview_miyamoto_nom18_feb2000.shtml Shigeru Miyamoto Interview]. The Mushroom Kingdom. (Retrieved July 1, 2012)</ref>, but he escapes and angrily carries [[Mario]]'s girlfriend [[Pauline]] to the top of a high construction site. He is pursued by Mario and attacks him by throwing [[Barrel]]s and creating living [[Fire]]. He is eventually pursued to the top of the construction site, where Mario causes the bars supporting him to crash, sending him to the ground. | ||
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.

Sometime after the battles between Donkey Kong and Mario played out, | Sometime after the battles between Donkey Kong and Mario played out, Donkey Kong took the name "Cranky Kong" and presumably retired. His grandson, the ''new'' Donkey Kong, forges lasting friendships with many of the other Kongs, including his eager friend Diddy Kong, [[Funky Kong]], and his girlfriend [[Candy Kong]]. He eventually begins his reign over the island's jungle. Much of the young ape’s time is spent collecting Bananas to add to his [[Banana Hoard]], and he lives a relatively laid back lifestyle as compared to his grandfather. | ||
However, a band of [[Kremling]]s known as the [[Kremling Krew]] forms during this time. Their acts of violence and thievery put them at odds with Donkey Kong constantly, forcing him to guard his Banana Hoard every night. | However, a band of [[Kremling]]s known as the [[Kremling Krew]] forms during this time.

On a stormy night, the [[Kremling Krew]] arrives at Donkey Kong Island and steals the Banana Hoard. When Diddy attempts to guard it, the [[Kremling]] soldiers trap him in a barrel. The events enrage Donkey Kong upon his return to the Hoard, and he sets out to reclaim his stash. Rescuing Diddy from his barrel prison along the way, the two of them slowly defeat the enormous Kremling forces during their travels throughout Donkey Kong Island with the aid of Candy Kong, Cranky Kong, and Funky Kong. | On a stormy night, the [[Kremling Krew]] arrives at Donkey Kong Island and steals the Banana Hoard.

After his long adventures, Donkey Kong decides to rest on the beach. During the day, the Kremlings kidnap the ape, leaving their footprints, a smashed chair, and a note behind them. Donkey Kong is locked in a cage on [[Crocodile Isle]], the latest Kremling hideout. Using Donkey Kong as a bargaining chip, [[King K. Rool|Kaptain K. Rool]], the new identity of King K. Rool, offers to return him in exchange for the Banana Hoard.

However, instead of giving in, Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong defeat the Kremlings and duel K. Rool aboard the [[Flying Krock]]; a fight that ends with Donkey Kong breaking free of his imprisonment and literally punching K. Rool out of his airship and into the ocean, where the crazed captain is attacked by sharks. After a rematch with the vengeful Kremling captain in [[Krocodile Kore]], Crocodile Isle sinks into the ocean afterward as Donkey, Diddy, and Dixie watch, but Kaptain K. Rool escapes on his ship. | ||
