In ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem]]'', Donkey Kong arrives at the newly-opened Mini-Land to desperately get a [[Mini Pauline]], only to find out that he is the 101st guest to arrive and it sold out after 100. Donkey Kong gets incredibly mad and, in his rage, kidnaps the real Pauline, forcing Mario and his force of Mini Marios to rescue her. After Donkey Kong is defeated in [[Final Ferris Wheel]], Pauline welcomes Mario and is ready to give him a hug, but Donkey Kong suddenly appears and kidnaps her again.

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 in particular appears when the player has completed height 3 of Game B's ninth level. | 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.

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. In ''{{wikia|goldeneye|GoldenEye 007 (Nintendo 64)|GoldenEye 007}}'', another game developed by Rare, Donkey Kong's face can be seen on a mountain in the first mission of the game, the Dam.<ref>[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=B9b5ySgcdE8| DK's cameo in ''Goldeneye 007'']</ref> In both this game and its spiritual successor ''{{wikia|perfectdark|Perfect Dark}}'' which was also developed by Rare, there is an unlockable cheat called "DK Mode". 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.

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 | Donkey Kong is inconsistently depicted as somewhat dim-witted; 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. | ||
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.
