-Donkey Kong Jr.'s premier appearance is in the eponymous ''[[Donkey Kong Jr. (game)|Donkey Kong Jr.]]'' He is the star of the game and the only playable character. Following the events of the original ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'', Donkey Kong Jr.'s father, [[Donkey Kong]], has been locked up by [[Mario]]. Donkey Kong Jr. must travel through four stages by climbing up vines and navigating other obstacles, as well as avoiding the enemies Mario sends at him to impede his progress, such as [[Snapjaw]]s and [[Nitpicker]]s. However, if he drops fruit on the enemies, they are defeated. Once Donkey Kong Jr. reaches the top of each stage, he attempts to insert a [[key]] into his father's cage, but appears confused as Mario hauls his father away to the next stage. In the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] version, all characters simply remain idle at the end of each stage before the next one begins.

 Official artwork of ''Super Mario Kart'' shows a red "J" on Donkey Kong Jr.'s shirt, but his sprite during his victory animation shows a yellow "V" on his shirt instead. This was likely an intentional design choice to make Donkey Kong Jr.'s sprite entirely symmetrical. This means only half of the sprite is required to be stored in the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]]'s limited graphics memory as tiles of 8x8 pixels each, with the same tiles being flipped to display the other half of the sprite. During gameplay, the letter on Donkey Kong Jr.'s shirt is obscured by his kart's steering wheel.

-==Trivia==
-*During development of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', Donkey Kong Jr. was originally slated to appear with a redesign. [[Nintendo]] did not like the redesigning of the character, and ordered the game's developer, [[Rare Ltd.|Rare]], to either retain the character's original appearance or to make the redesign into a new character.<ref>As revealed in ''Retro Gamer'' magazine.{{better source}}</ref> [[Diddy Kong]] was created as a new character to fulfill the role.
-*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]]). {{file link|BetaMonkeys.jpg|An early design}} for the [[Helper Monkey]]s in ''[[Donkey Kong Jungle Beat]]'' also resembled multiple Donkey Kong Jrs. (particularly his {{file link|MKDD Unused Character Icons.png|prototypical ''Double Dash!!'' model}}), but without his shirt.
