Incorporating
(→Trivia: Example, if it wasn‘t worded correctly by me: Mario, i.e. the base driver of which a variant is based off, vs. Mario (Musician), i.e. the driver variant based of the main/base driver.) |

A 2D sprite variant of Donkey Kong Jr. debuts in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' as a playable character in his 16-bit ''Super Mario Kart'' appearance under the name '''Donkey Kong Jr. (SNES)''', debuting in the [[Super Mario Kart Tour]]. His special item is the [[Triple Bananas]]. This is the first game since ''Super Mario Kart'' to feature Donkey Kong Jr. as a playable character in the ''Mario Kart'' series. | A 2D sprite variant of Donkey Kong Jr. debuts in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' as a playable character in his 16-bit ''Super Mario Kart'' appearance under the name '''Donkey Kong Jr. (SNES)''', debuting in the [[Super Mario Kart Tour]].

As the game treats Donkey Kong Jr. (SNES) as a variant in his name, this also makes him the only character in the game without a base driver. | ||

*Oddly, several games in which Donkey Kong Jr. appears contain doppelgängers. Examples of such games include the ''[[Game & Watch#Game & Watch Gallery series|Game & Watch Gallery]]'' series (which seems to depict Donkey Kong Jr. as a species rather than an individual character), ''Donkey Kong Jr. Math'' (which includes a second Donkey Kong Jr. colored pink), and ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' (which includes many Donkey Kong Jr. lookalikes as audience members in [[GCN Waluigi Stadium|Waluigi Stadium]]). {{media link|BetaMonkeys.jpg|An early design}} for the [[Helper Monkey]]s in ''[[Donkey Kong Jungle Beat]]'' also resembled multiple Donkey Kong Jrs. (particularly his {{media link|MKDD Unused Character Icons.png|prototypical ''Double Dash!!'' model}}), but without his shirt. | *Oddly, several games in which Donkey Kong Jr. appears contain doppelgängers.
