Donkey Kong: Difference between revisions
I added info to the first, second and third Mario vs. Donkey Kong game, which seemed incomplete in some ways, and added the fourth and fifth games which had no section. I also added his cameo in Picross NP. Vol 8 and in the part of his personality where is mentioned some games where he doesn't speak well, I added that in DK Jungle Climber he is the only character in the game who doesn´t speak at all.

In the opening for ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'', Donkey Kong is channel surfing when sees a commercial for the new [[Mini Mario (toy)|Mini-Mario]] toy. Desiring one for himself, Donkey Kong rushes to the local toy store, only to find that they are sold out. However, he notices the [[Mario Toy Company]] building nearby, and he breaks in and steals a sack full of the Mini-Marios. Donkey Kong is fought at the end of each world, after Mario has collected all of the Mini-Marios in the world. Depending on the world, Donkey Kong uses several tactics during his battles. | In the opening for ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'', Donkey Kong is channel surfing when sees a commercial for the new [[Mini Mario (toy)|Mini-Mario]] toy.

After a while of being chased, Donkey Kong checks the sack, only to see that it is entirely empty. Mario, the toys, and three Toads laugh at him. Enraged, Donkey Kong grabs the Toads and climbs up a nearby a building with them. After Donkey Kong is defeated again, he falls off the building, only to land on a truck containing several Mini-Marios, which he decides to steal. Donkey Kong is then fought at the end of each world once more, though his arenas are variants of their original versions. | After a while of being chased, Donkey Kong checks the sack, only to see that it is entirely empty.

The results screen for the NES version of ''[[Tetris]]'' features Donkey Kong as part of a band composed of himself, Bowser, Link, Pit, Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Samus Aran. He is playing the marching bass drum with his fists.

Donkey Kong has made a few appearances outside the extended ''Mario'' series. In ''[[jiggywikki:Banjo-Tooie|Banjo-Tooie]]'', for the [[Nintendo 64]], [[jiggywikki:Goggles|Goggles]] is playing with a Donkey Kong doll. His name also appears as an answer to one of Grunty's questions in either the Tower of Tragedy or the final battle.

This cheat will make it so that all characters in those games will have a similar body shape to Donkey Kong, with a larger head and arms extending all the way to the ground so as to resemble Donkey Kong's primal posture. | Donkey Kong has made a few appearances outside the extended ''Mario'' series.

At E3 2001, three ''Donkey Kong'' series titles were unveiled, ''[[Diddy Kong Pilot (2001)|Diddy Kong Pilot]]'', ''[[Donkey Kong Coconut Crackers]]'', and ''[[Donkey Kong Racing]]''. All three of these games were eventually canceled due to [[wikipedia:Microsoft Corporation|Microsoft]] acquiring [[Rare Ltd.|Rare]], causing them to lose the rights to the ''Donkey Kong'' franchise. He was planned as a playable character in ''Diddy Kong Pilot'' and presumably ''Donkey Kong Racing'', as he can be seen racing on a [[Rambi the Rhino|Rambi]] and a [[Zinger]] in different parts of the trailer. | At E3 2001, three ''Donkey Kong'' series titles were unveiled, ''[[Diddy Kong Pilot (2001)|Diddy Kong Pilot]]'', ''[[Donkey Kong Coconut Crackers]]'', and ''[[Donkey Kong Racing]]''.

In the games, despite his carefree lifestyle, Donkey Kong is a brave and friendly hero who highly cares for his friends and [[banana hoard]], and becomes enraged if either are threatened. He is always keen to be helpful and use his strength whenever possible. The [[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (series)|''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' series]] portray him as prone to temper tantrums if he doesn't get what he wants, which leads to him and Mario clashing when he steals the Mini Mario Toys and even kidnaps Pauline, though he does show remorse once Mario resolves the matter. Donkey Kong is also shown as more aggressive and willing to fight in ''Donkey Kong Jungle Beat''. | In the games, despite his carefree lifestyle, Donkey Kong is a brave and friendly hero who highly cares for his friends and [[banana hoard]], and becomes enraged if either are threatened.

Donkey Kong is inconsistently depicted as somewhat dimwitted; in ''[[Fortune Street]]'', [[Toad]] remarks that Donkey Kong is the brawn while Diddy Kong is the brains, and he speaks in broken, third-person English for his few lines in ''Donkey Kong 64''; however, in other appearances, particularly during the ''Donkey Kong Country'' series, DK speaks fluent English much like the other [[Kong]]s. In [[The Subspace Emissary]], Donkey Kong is shown to be more cautious, sensing the danger of the Dark Cannon Bowser wielded and electing to get the impulsive Diddy Kong to safety. In [[Solid Snake|Snake]]'s codec conversation on Donkey Kong in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Otacon claims that Donkey Kong seems "pretty smart" for an ape. | Donkey Kong is inconsistently depicted as somewhat dimwitted; in ''[[Fortune Street]]'', [[Toad]] remarks that Donkey Kong is the brawn while Diddy Kong is the brains, and he speaks in broken, third-person English for his few lines in ''Donkey Kong 64'', and in ''DK: Jungle Climber'' he is the only major character that is never seen speaking in any way; however, in other appearances, particularly during the ''Donkey Kong Country'' series, DK speaks fluent English much like the other [[Kong]]s.

In the TV series, Donkey Kong's personality is largely the same, albeit depicting him as lazy instead of carefree. Donkey Kong is shown to have a somewhat stronger moral back bone, as shown in [[I Spy with My Hairy Eye]] with his reluctance to use the [[Crystal Coconut]] to wish for more bananas until Diddy manipulated him into doing it. Donkey Kong also seems easier to startle and more sensitive overall, but maintains an aggressive wariness of King K. Rool, Kaptain Skurvy and their goons. | In the TV series, Donkey Kong's personality is largely the same, albeit depicting him as lazy instead of carefree.
