[[File:DKNESDonkeyKongPaulineArt.png|thumb|The original Donkey Kong with [[Pauline]]]]According to [[#Identity confusion|various pieces of official media]], starting with ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', Cranky Kong is the original Donkey Kong from the arcade games appearing in ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'', ''[[Donkey Kong Jr. (game)|Donkey Kong Jr.]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong 3]]''. During his youthful prime, Cranky Kong kidnapped [[Pauline]] and took her to a construction site, was kidnapped and trapped in a cage by [[Mario]], and even battled [[Stanley]] in various greenhouses. He also implies in one of his lectures to his grandson that his kidnapping of Pauline was consistent enough that he did so "seven days a week." Not counting the "Modern" mixes in the [[Game & Watch Gallery (series)|''Game & Watch Gallery'' series]] or a cameo in ''[[Mario Clash]]'', his final role as Donkey Kong was in ''[[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Donkey Kong]]'' for Game Boy. He retired after he relinquished the name to his grandson.<ref>{{cite|quote=「1994年に発売された『ドンキーコング』（ゲームボーイ）を最後に、孫に“ドンキーコング”の名を譲り渡す。」 (After the release of 'Donkey Kong' (Game Boy), he turned over the Donkey Kong name to his grandchild.)|language=Japanese|publisher=Nintendo Online Magazine}}{{better source}}</ref> | [[File:DKNESDonkeyKongPaulineArt.png|thumb|The original Donkey Kong with [[Pauline]]]]According to [[#Identity confusion|various pieces of official media]], starting with ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', Cranky Kong is the original Donkey Kong from the arcade games appearing in ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'', ''[[Donkey Kong Jr. (game)|Donkey Kong Jr.]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong 3]]''.
