“Have you been to see the other members of the Kong family? They're not as useful as me of course, but they might be able to help.”
—Cranky Kong, Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest

The Kong Family is the name given to the Kong relatives and friends of Donkey Kong. The patriarch of the family is Cranky Kong, the original Donkey Kong. In the Donkey Kong franchise series of video games, members of the Kong Family are either playable characters or supporting characters that aid the main heroes on their journey. They seem to be in constant conflict with the Kremling Krew, an organization bent on stealing the family's Banana Hoard and destroying Donkey Kong Island.

Emblem

The family often uses the initials "DK" as a symbol, representative primarily of Donkey Kong. It is seen on Donkey Kong's tie, DK Barrels, DK Coins, the End of Level Flags, DK Spaces, and various objects around DK Jungle.

Friends

The villainous Manky Kongs are described as "Kong reject orangutans"[3]. Wrinkly is also related to Dixie and Kiddy Kong, and possibly Tiny and Chunky Kong as well, as one of her quotes from Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie's Double Trouble! when saving the game at Wrinkly's Save Cave is "Aren't you going to give your favorite relative a good-bye kiss?" Additionally, according to Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, Rambi, Mine Cart, Rocket Barrel, and Professor Chops are all closely categorized under the Kong Family.
