'''Donkey Kong Jr.''' (sometimes referred to as '''DK Jr.''' or just '''Junior''') is a [[Kong]] character that debuted in ''[[Donkey Kong Jr. (game)|Donkey Kong Jr.]]'' as the titular hero. In the events of the game, he has to rescue his father, [[Donkey Kong]], from [[Mario]]. For a time, he sporadically appeared in spinoff ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' games as a playable character, though he was effectively replaced with [[Diddy Kong]] in this regard starting with ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'', coinciding with the latter becoming fully acquired from [[Rare Ltd.]] by [[Nintendo]]. | '''Donkey Kong Jr.''' (sometimes referred to as '''DK Jr.''', '''DKJr.''', or just '''Junior''') is a [[Kong]] character that debuted in ''[[Donkey Kong Jr. (game)|Donkey Kong Jr.]]'' as the titular hero.
