Title: Donkey Kong Jr.
Post by: Claws on May 04, 2004, 09:30:01 PM: I'm new here, so I'm sorry if this topic has been discussed already. Anyway, I just wanted to know what the general opinion of this board is on the subject of DK Jr. Now, being a DK fan, I obviously follow the notion that the DK Jr. of the arcades is the DK of the DKC's and the Mario competition games, and that Cranky is the original DK. If I'm not mistaken, Rare has confirmed this. But, regardless, I'd like to know what the general sentiment of this board is on the subject. (This topic will probably bomb, but oh well.)

Post by: Do The Mario! on May 05, 2004, 09:53:59 AM: Holy smokes, I never thought about it that way! I thought Donkey Kong Jr. was just replaced by Diddy Kong (so Diddy would technically be DK Jr.) but your theory is amazing... Thanks for giving me something to think about! =D

Do the Mario! Swing your arms from side to side, come on, it''s time to go do the Mario! Take one step, and then again, let''s do the Mario all together now! You got it! It''s the Mario! Do the Mario! Swing your arms from side to side, come on, it''s time to go do the Mario! Take one step, and then again! Let''s do the Mario altogether now! Come on now! Just like that!

Post by: WarioLandMan on May 05, 2004, 10:48:19 AM: then where did Diddy Kong come from?
Title: Re: Donkey Kong Jr.
Post by: Forest Guy on May 05, 2004, 10:53:28 AM: That's not his theory, it's proven factual data.

Diddy Kong cannot be Donkey Kong Jr. because Jr. is a gorilla, but Diddy is a monkey.

Diddy Kong is simply stated to be Donkey Kong's little buddy. In other words, he's just DK's friend.

Post by: Red Paratroopa on May 05, 2004, 03:34:46 PM: Ugh, I'm sticking to this: Donkey Kong from DKC is the original DK. I base this on the fact that he and DK Jr. both appear together in Mario Tennis. And don't whine and say Baby Mario and Mario are there together because they aren't. If you watch the scene after DK Jr. wins a tournament, you see him leap into his father's arms. Now, go back to the intro scene that shows the Mario AllStars Tennis Match. Before the bad guys show up, it shows all of the other characters together, except Baby Mario. He and Mario are never shown together. DK and DK Jr. are. In my mind, Cranky is just senile, and the other Kongs are just playing along to his ramblings.

Post by: Screech on May 05, 2004, 04:15:21 PM: 1: Cranky is not senile. He knows just about everything. He's just mean.

2: Diddy is a chimp, not a monkey, and he's DK's nephew.

3: The Mario party, kart, and sports games aren't really part of the whole story. Whether baby Mario appears with Mario or not, the fact that he's even there at all proives it.

Post by: Red Paratroopa on May 05, 2004, 04:39:37 PM: That doesn't "proive" anything.

So who would you say is the DK in those games?

(Side Note: Diddy has a tail. Monkeys have tails. Chimps don't. Therefore, Diddy's a monkey.)

Title: Re: Donkey Kong Jr.
Post by: Claws on May 06, 2004, 09:18:34 PM: Red Paratroopa, I find your argument to be seriously flawed. What do you mean Baby Mario and Mario are never shown alongside one another? When you play the game you can certainly pair them up. And you're forgetting about Mario Golf and Double Dash!!- Baby Mario and Mario have definitely been seen alongside one another. My theory (or more factually, the website DK Vine's theory): There is obviously some way to transport characters from the past and future to the present time. Look at SSB. Link is obviously from the past. Captain Falcon is from the future. Master Hand must have used some method to bring them to the present, and I think we could logically assume that perhaps the Mushroom Kingdom has discovered this method. Therefore, when Mario needs a doubles partner (one more like him), he can call upon the aid of Baby Mario. Likewise, in Mario Tennis, Diddy apparently did not want to join DK as his doubles partner. So, taking a hint from Mario, DK brought his past self to the present to help him compete. And the younger versions of Mario and DK are too young to remember any of it, so there are no long-term consequences.
Title: Re: Donkey Kong Jr.
Post by: bladeofLUIGl on May 06, 2004, 10:57:46 PM: I agree with Deezer, in one of his games, Cranky said,"These videogames are to advanced nowadays, back in my day, all we had was a stick and a button." In Donkey Kong64, there was a part with DK walking up to an old arcade game, there was only two controlls, Jump, move. That was it. If what you guys are talking about, it's true CK was DK then DKJ grew up to be DK. That would also state in the game DKJ, DK saves CK by defeating Mario. Thats all I've got to say.
P.S. Doesn't that mean Mario was baby Mario?

I knew not Luigi's name, I knew not the names of any games, I knew not the fact that turtles were called koopas and that those brown legged balls were called goombas, I knew not, even, that the pointy backed turtle at the end of the game was in any way mean or naughty, but simply a big turtle standig in front of an axe protecting it's castle from a red invader, but even I knew that Baby Mario was Mario as a baby.

In SSBM, DK is treated as the same one throughout, and I like to follow it that way. I also believe Daisy has three eyes.

Post by: Forest Guy on May 07, 2004, 06:16:09 PM: Red, if you're gonna believe Daisy has three eyes because of a programming glitch in one game, then you need to go rethink your outlook on video games.

Did it ever cross any of your minds that maybe the new DK Jr. is the Donkey Kong's son?? I'm sure the current Donkey Kong is capable of having children, and don't give me no garbage about him needing a wife because look at the great Koopaling mystery.

Post by: The Almighty Voice on April 19, 2005, 03:48:15 PM: You guys obviously aren't paying attention. It is CONFIRMED that the current DK is Cranky Kong(Oirginal DK)'s GRANDson and is DK Jr.'s son. In most modern Mario games, Nintendo ggets DK the 3rd and DK the 1st mixed up. Perhaps they are both there...The point is, the current DK is DK Jr.'s son(Look in the DKC review on this site)

Post by: smfan1085 on April 19, 2005, 11:17:12 PM: Now that this topic is revived, I may as well say that I was just about to say the same thing as the person who revived it. From what I understand, the DK from DKC is indeed Cranky's grandson, even though apparently DK64 got that messed up.

I am experiencing the same thing. I guess new members are restricted from starting new topics for a little while.

These Wikipedia articles don't really help resolve Donkey Kong's identity, but they're a good source for "official" opinions on the matter.

Post by: The Chef on May 15, 2006, 01:03:59 PM: There is(sort of) proof that the current DK(from here on I will refer to him as Super DK) is the grandson of Cranky Kong.Remember Super Mario Kart? DK Jr. was a playable character. Also remember how large he was. He later reappeared in Mario's Tennis(Virtual Boy). It should be noted that that the first DK is not present at this time. Then in 1994, DKC comes out out and then we see what happened to the original DK. He's old and DK Jr. appears to have had a son, who's currently a teenager. As for what happened to DK Jr., I don't know. Maybe he became one with the force or something.

Timeline

-1981:DK meets Mario.
-1982:DK has a son(with who is supposedly Wrinkly Kong)
-1983:DK meets Stanley and DK Jr. ages.
-1984-1992: DK and his family move to Kongo Jungle and they grow older.
-1993:DK Jr. is now a lot older and participates in Super Mario Kart races.
-1994:DK Jr. is an adult and has a son of his own. He carries his father's legacy by kiddnapping Pauline in Donkey Kong '94 on Game Boy.
-1995-1999: DK Jr.'s son ages and becomes Super DK. DK Jr. mysteriously dissapears.
-2000:The events of DKC and DK64 take place here and on.

Apparently one of the Rare guys, Leigh Loveday, confirmed that their version of Donkey Kong is supposed to be a grown up Donkey Kong Jr.

Personally, I think that's dumb. I find it much easier to reason how DK Jr. is no longer present using the grandson theory. I also think that Rare may have confused themselves along the way of creating the DKCs.
Title: Re: Donkey Kong Jr.
Post by: CreamCat on May 15, 2006, 10:53:09 PM: How's that dumb? It makes perfect sense to me. Infact, I know apes age faster then humans, but I think it's hard to believe that DKjr. (who was only a kid back in the days of the NES) grew up and had a son who then grew up and became the current DK, but who knows, it could be more plausble then my theory if apes age faster then I think they do (not to mention the Marioverse is a fictional world, were alot is possible).
Title: Re: Donkey Kong Jr.
Post by: The Chef on May 16, 2006, 02:40:51 PM: OK, I was a bit harsh. It's just that I spent a while divising that theory.
Title: Re: Donkey Kong Jr.
Post by: smfan1085 on May 16, 2006, 08:34:24 PM: It makes tons more sense to me for the DK in DKC to be the grandson of the original one. For one thing, Cranky is so old. If he's just DK's dad, you would probably expect DK to be around 30 at the very least (that's going by human years, but they're cartoon characters, not real apes). I'm pretty sure DK is younger than that.

Also, in DKC, the first Rare DK game, Cranky is supposed to be DK's grandpa, and in DKC2 Cranky (apparently mistakenly) calls himself Diddy's grandpa. Though the latter thing is most likely a mistake, it seems to indicate that DK is Cranky's grandson because DK and Diddy seem to be from the same generation (correct me if I'm wrong about that).

Don't get me wrong, it's not that I have a bias against DK64 (which I think is the only game where Cranky refers to DK as his son); it's my favorite game in the series! But I have to take one of the positions due to Rare's inconsistency, and I happen to think that the grandson theory is the more likely one (and I also can't really picture the annoying little DK Jr. in GBDK (DK '94) as the Donkey Kong of DKC.
Title: Re: Donkey Kong Jr.
Post by: CreamCat on May 16, 2006, 09:09:28 PM: Though personally I figured DK was around thirty, and I believe Diddy is about a generation younger then DK, Nintendo and Rare have been pretty inconsistent on who the current DK is and I last time I checked he is mentioned as being Cranky's grandson more then any other theory (but, I still think the current DK is DKjr. due to Loveday actually saying that the current DK was Jr.) .
Title: Re: Donkey Kong Jr.
Post by: The Chef on May 17, 2006, 04:55:15 PM: I guess my theory hasn't been ruled out entirely, then.

Anyway, I always pictured DK being 18 and Diddy 16, due to their rebelliuos attitude toward Cranky. I also found it interesting to note that in any dialouge that he has, DK never refers to Cranky as 'grandpa' or anything like that, and in the TV show(which probably isn't considered canon) theres no mention of their relationship at all.
Title: Re: Donkey Kong Jr.
Post by: smfan1085 on May 17, 2006, 10:29:29 PM: I probably imagined DK as 20-ish, or maybe a few years older.

Diddy I imagined as probably younger, but not much younger.

Incidentally, Tiny Kong from DK64 is supposed to be Dixie Kong's teenage younger sister, and Dixie is probably about the same age as Diddy, since she's his girlfriend. I don't know if that has anything to do with this, but I'm throwing it out there just in case it is.

Plus I prefer Jr. over Diddy. :)

I really don't think Rare was wanting to screw with the DK timeline by adding Cranky, I think they just wanted to add a funny character.

Title: Re: Donkey Kong Jr.
Post by: smfan1085 on May 22, 2006, 12:17:23 PM: I somehow don't think that Mario could possibly have been more than 10 years younger at the time of the original Donkey Kong.

This argument is confusing to no end. But really, I'm rather surprised that most people here seem to think that any solid theory can be created concerning this. It would be idle to pretend that the continuity wasn't screwed up by Rare and/or post-Rare Nintendo, and therefore it is only to be expected that one can't make things make perfect sense now. It's just something that can't be helped, it seems.

That's what I heard also. Mario was suppose to be 18 in DK Arcade. (Don't ask about that stache way back then though) This would make Cranky be in the late 40s/early 50s it's just that his bone density didn't grow stale yet (or at least it was beginning to). DK Jr. could have been somewhere along the line of 8 to 13 or something.

Post by: The Chef on June 06, 2006, 07:00:08 PM: You are correct. In the updated versions of SMB3 on SNES and GBA, one of the kings has been turned into DK Jr.

Post by: Crazy Penguin on June 06, 2006, 07:41:58 PM: Any idea which one?

In fact, does anyone have screenshots of all of the king transformations from both NES and All-Star/Advance versions?

Post by: smfan1085 on June 07, 2006, 07:35:26 PM: I think it's King #4 who's turned into DK Jr.

This is the list of kings from the SNES and GBA versions, as I remember it (I could be wrong):

1 - Cobrat
2 - Hoopster
3 - Dino-Rhino
4 - DK Jr.
5 - Albatoss
6 - Monty Mole
7 - Yoshi

Post by: The Chef on June 07, 2006, 08:05:29 PM: I think you're right. I'll post the original NES kings to the best of my memory.

1-Dog
2-Spider
3-Lizard
4-Turtle
5-Bird
6-(I think it was a furry animal, not a mole, though)
7-Piranha Plant
