Donkey Kong has made a few appearances outside the extended ''Mario'' | Donkey Kong has made a few appearances outside the extended ''Super Mario'' franchise. 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 ''{{fandom|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 ''{{fandom|perfectdark|Perfect Dark}}'' which was also developed by Rare, there is an unlockable cheat called "DK Mode".

He also appears in ''[[Picross NP]] Vol. 8'' as one of the figures that must be cleared. | ||
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]]''.

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]] and a [[Zinger]] in different parts of the trailer. He is only playable via hacking in the leaked build of ''Diddy Kong Pilot''. | 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]]''.
