Donkey Kong also appears in ''[[Picross NP]] Vol. 8'' as one of the figures that must be cleared.

At E3 2001, three ''Donkey Kong'' series titles were unveiled, ''[[Diddy Kong Pilot (2001)|Diddy Kong Pilot]]'', ''[[Donkey Kong Coconut Crackers]]'', and ''[[Donkey Kong Racing]]''. All three of these games were eventually canceled due to Nintendo selling [[Rare Ltd.|Rare]] to [[wikipedia:Microsoft Corporation|Microsoft]], causing them to lose the rights to the ''Donkey Kong'' franchise. He was planned as a playable character in ''Diddy Kong Pilot'' and presumably ''Donkey Kong Racing'', as he can be seen racing on a [[Rambi]] and a [[Zinger]] in different parts of the trailer. He is only playable via hacking in the leaked build of ''Diddy Kong Pilot''.
Donkey Kong is a playable character in the canceled 2003 build of ''[[Diddy Kong Pilot (2003)|Diddy Kong Pilot]]''. He is a member of Team Kong and has high weight and speed but medium acceleration. He was later replaced by Bottles in the final build of this iteration, ''[[jiggywikki:Banjo-Pilot|Banjo-Pilot]]'', where his groaning sound effect even remained intact with Mumbo Jumbo.


A skeleton named [[Bink]] from ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' strongly resembles Donkey Kong, although this quirk was not carried over to that game's [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions|remake]]. Bink even throws barrels and eats bananas. While Donkey Kong himself does not appear in ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and ''[[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World]]'', a pattern based on him, named Donkey Kong Yoshi, is featured via [[amiibo]].
