5 Dead Characters from the Mario Universe

PART 2: • 5 MORE Dead Characters...
PART 3: • 5 Dead MARIO Character...
EDIT: This video is pretty old. There are errors in it that many people like to call out before realizing hundreds of people have done it before them: I called Jumpman "Jumperman" by mistake. I also referred to DK Junior as DK's son which I later learned was not correct. We're only human, some info slips through the cracks. Needless to say, we do a lot more research on our videos now :) Hope you guys still enjoyed this video, and thanks for your support!

[@EriksGarbage]

Lanky: He has no style He has no grace This kong has a funny face

[@NickDoesArts]

I think i have the story of what happened to these kongs: Lanky got a degree in college and became a mediocrely successful comedian, Tiny became an animal activist and helped save the bees and endangered animals, and then theres Chunky... he's dead... like everyone believes it, but in my thoughts, he left the DK crew because he needed to take care of his little brother Kiddy Kong. He then became a musician, wrote good songs and made an album which charted #1 in the Kong music charts. And then he dissapeared and everyone believed he was dead.

[@Master_Exploder5000]

Chunky: dead Tiny: bee murderer Diddy: Lonely Lanky: sex ed clown DK: Obsessed with guns Cranky: dead and in a fridge

Donkey Kong Jr. is the son of Cranky Kong, or the very first DK. That would potentially mean Junior is actually the father of today's DK, if it means Cranky is DK's grandfather.

Actually its cranky then Jr then the modern dk yes Jr is Dk's father which would make the donkey Kong we know as DK the third and as for why both dk and dk Jr appear in Mario tennis its safe to assume that the dk was suppose to be the one from the arcade days so he is possibly just a young cranky kong

Yes, a lot of people don't know that Cranky Kong is the Original Donkey Kong, who debuted in 1981, Donkey Kong Jr's father, and Donkey Kong Jr has a son, named Donkey Kong, from Donkey Kong Country, released in 1994. And Diddy Kong is the Current Donkey Kong's nephew. Explaining this makes it very confusing.

[@brianquinn8570]

So Donky Kong is Donky kong III

[@SilentBudgie]

@@g-burtfred1106 There's no evidence that Donkey Kong Jr is the father of modern Donkey Kong. If modern Donkey Kong is the son of Cranky's second born, then Donkey Kong Jr would be his uncle.

[@gengarguy8801]

The Final Fates of all these characters: Koopa Kid: Not coming back. He din't return for Mario Party The Top 100. He has no hope of returning. DK Jr: DK Jr is slowly creeping closer to making a return, as a Mario Maker costume, and his game being in NES Remix. Lanky, Tiny, and Chunky: Still no word. They're just stuck in the void with Koopa Kid, for now. SM RPG Characters: We'll never see any of them ever again, except maybe Geno. F.L.U.D.D.: Cappy has kinda replace him as a lovable sidekick, but F.L.U.D.D. is basically on life support as Mario's Down Special.

[@Derwichmusique]

Geno was also in "Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga" :)

[@bowserjr.3353]

Koopa Kid could technically come back, the Koopalings and Boom Boom were gone for YEARS and they came back unexpectedly

[@TheMbmdcrew]

@@bowserjr.3353Yeah, but they had a function and personality. Koopa Kid had no personality. He was just a copy-paste of Bowser, made only because they didn’t have enough space for individual Koopaling models but still wanted 7 mini-bosses to be fought before Bowser. With Bowser Jr.’s introduction, Koopa Kid lost his purpose. It’s going to take a SERIOUS overhaul in terms of his identity and personality in order for him to even think about returning.

DK Jr is the father of the current DK (the one who wears a necktie). He is NOT the son.

[@_Maritime_]

The dk in dk jr is now cranky kong

[@JLPerryTV]

Maritime Exactly what I said. • Original Donkey Kong aka Cranky Kong - Grandfather • Donkey Kong Jr - Cranky’s son; and father of DK • DK (the one with necktie) - DK Jr’s son; and grandson of Crank Kong

[@zerne7887]

his name literally has jr in it

[@JLPerryTV]

malikguy1234 That was at a time when Donkey Kong (aka Cranky Kong) appeared in the arcade games. DK Jr’s character was never fully explored and the developers were hoping to phase him into obscurity by bringing Diddy Kong to the front. That is where the confusion started and it confused people more when DK Jr and his son DK (with the necktie) appeared in Mario Tennis together. However DK Jr was simply known as DK in the game where he throws barrels at Mario. DK Jr also appears in SSB Wii U as the gorilla that eventually throws objects at you.

[@JLPerryTV]

I always though that Kamella from Super Mario Galaxy was a great character, and was disappointed that she was not used in the sequel. She is basically the matriarch or queen of Kamek, one of the most popular Mario characters. I surely thought that her power and status would've had her reused, but was surprised that never came true.

For Super Mario Sunshine 2, here’s my idea. It is Leap year. On Leap day, the holiest day in Isle Delfino, Brighton, the sun, descends from the sky to stand beneath the shine gate. Offerings of various fruits are laid at his feet while mothers bring their babies to him to receive his blessing. As this goes on, hymns are sung. At noon, Brighton will light the Grand Shine. To the Pintas and Nokis, Brighton is their god. Mario and co are excited because this time, they get to witness it. Everything is going very well. Suddenly, the sky is plunged into darkness. Brighton rises into the sky, tense. Just as he expected, a dark sun rushes him. They fight, fire raining down on the isle and water around it. The sky starts to burn. The ocean around the isle begins to boil. The air is so hot that buildings begin to burn. Panic reigns. Brighton crashes into the bay, vaporizing the surrounding water and leaves behind a crater. He gets up onto his knees, panting. He shoots toward the Grand Shine. Mario watches in horror. Brighton raises a burning fist, and shatters the grand shine. Four glowing lights rise, each a different color. The four lights streak out. The red light hits Mario, the green light hits Luigi, the yellow light hits Wario, and the blue light hits Waluigi. The dark sun strikes Brighton with a devastating attack. Stone spreads over Brighton’s body. He manages to launch a powerful blow that sends the dark sun tumbling over the horizon. Mario, Luigi, Wario, and Waluigi rush over to Brighton. Brighton gives them a quick summary and tells them they must reassemble the legendary Sunstone and bring it to him. It alone can reverse the curse. He can’t say anymore because the stone has now completely encased him. The four heroes talk, and decide to go their own ways to find the pieces of the sunstone. All four decide to talk to Twila first. She tells them they need to work together to collect each piece of the Sunstone, and reveals her wand can led them to each of the seven shards. She hands it to Mario, and tells them about the four lights. Each represents one of the four primal elements and were hidden within the grand shine a very long time ago when the world was newly formed. Brighton gifted the grand shine to isle delfino a long time ago to thank them for saving his life after winning his long battle against the dark sun Noctus Sol for the right to rule the sky. The four heroes leave hours later. It is night and since Brighton is a statue, day can’t come.

DK JR IS THE MODERN DONKY KONG

Dezz Nutts eh whatever

[@NotSoSara4764]

Dezz Nutts is right. OG Donkey Kong from the arcade is a completely different Kong. DK Jr is the modern day Cranky and the modern day DK first appears in Yoshi's island as a baby.

[@gleisongomespimentel6057]

0:53 sonic?

[@sirthanksalot97]

Well. DK Jr. /is/ DK. Cranky Kong was the original Donkey Kong - the one who fought Mario - while Jr. is the tie-wearing goof we know today.

[@Tabby_PW]

Actually, that's incorrect. DK Jr. would be DK's dad. The original DK is Cranky and current DK is his grandson. And Diddy is current DK's nephew.

[@sirthanksalot97]

Oh, was it like that? My bad. Point is anyhow that DK Jr. never was really forgotten - he was written into the lore, rather. :V

cranky is the actual DK's grandfather and jr's son

[@cdeer17]

he's the father of the current DK alot of people have pieced this together by how the games time lines work also koopa kid wasn't replaced he was just down right right removed as the son of bowser and JR is actually bowser since in many different games they refer to each other as if they are the same person

I don't know why, But some people say that DK Junior is Funky Kong..
