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.)

I agree with you because those are the facts.

Supposedly Rare stated that Cranky Kong was the Donkey Kong from the arcade games. Therefore the DK from DKC and DKL is a different character.

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!

then where did Diddy Kong come from?

Forest Guy · « **Reply #6 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.

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.

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.

I might be Sadib...

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.)

Dude, they're fictional characters in a video game, it isn't that important to be right. Or possible, even. I mean, would you expect normal gorillas and primates to be living in the same world with whatever toads and Koopas are? Is Toad a toad, or a mushroom? Is Bowser a Turtle, or some freakish animal that doesn't exist? (RHETORICAL QUESTIONS)

-edit- I just realized what Markio meant.

Toad is a toadstool, and Bowser's probably a mix between a dragon and a turtle.
