| 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)|''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]].

| |
| The family often uses the initials "DK" as a symbol, which most often represents Donkey Kong. It is seen on Donkey Kong's tie, [[DK Barrel]]s, [[DK Coin]]s, the [[End of Level Flag]]s, [[DK Space]]s, and various objects around [[DK Jungle]]. The symbol is also used in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]], although in this context, it is used as the logo for the [[Donkey Kong (franchise)|''Donkey Kong'' franchise]] in general instead of just the Kong Family members (since [[King K. Rool]] and [[Klaptrap]]s also use it).
