Talk:Donkey Kong Jr.

Just to clear things up: DK Jr. is NOT the younger version of DK. Baby DK is. WF99 15:06, 27 August 2006 (EDT)

According to Rare and Donkey Kong 64, the current Donkey Kong is the son of the first Donkey Kong, Cranky Kong. Donkey Kong Jr. is the son of the original Donkey Kong and as such, Donkey Kong Jr. is the current Donkey Kong. Mario Superstar Baseball also says that the current Donkey Kong has an ancestor that does not wear a tie (the original Donkey Kong). The current and the old are two distinct Donkey Kongs. It is unknown if Baby DK is the baby form of DK Jr. (the current Donkey Kong) or Cranky Kong (the original Donkey Kong). Also, Yoshi's Island 2 has not been released yet, so information regarding Baby DK is not yet canon (although it appears Baby DK will be the youngest version of the current Donkey Kong, meaning DK Jr. is the adolescent version of the current DK). -- User: Son of Suns

Okay, you make a valid point, but did you have to delete everything else I added to the article? I had a lot of other useful info in there, too.

I apologize for my brash revert. Thanks for putting your info back in. =) -- Son of Suns

It says in the manual of Donkey Kong Country that Cranky Kong is the grandfather of the current Donkey Kong, so wouldn't this mean that the current Donkey Kong is not Donkey Kong Jr. but in fact Donkey Kong Jr's son? It says in the story section "He groggily rolled over to see the familiar wrinkled, white-bearded, grouchy face of his old granddad 'Cranky Kong' peering down at him."-- User: XellKhaar

I thought Cranky Kong was the father of the original Donkey Kong. That would make DK Jr. The current Donkey Kong and his grandfather. CrystalYoshi

Snake's codec conversation on Donkey Kong in Brawl confirms that Donkey kong's grandfather was the Kong that kidnapped pauline and fought Mario, and cranky Kong has previously been confirmed to fill this role. This effectively makes Cranky kong the original Donkey kong, and DK's grandfather, while Donkey Kong Jr. is now officially DK's dad.

Well, Melee had a lot of errors as well like how it said in Daisy's trophy that she appeared in Mario Golf. Candy Kong's trophy also states that she's DK's rumored girlfriend yet the Donkey Kong Country games clearly said Candy Kong was his girlfriend. Paper Jorge ( Talk·Contributions)·

It may be because I'm biased agaist Super Smash Bros. Brawl (crude humor, violence... grr), but I think it's better to rely on the main series for the bgest canonical information. CrystalYoshi
