I could be wrong, but if I remember correctly the Donkey Kong we see in the first Donkey Kong game and Jr. Is actually Cranky Kong, the father of the Donkey Kong we know right now, and Donkey Kong Jr is actually the Donkey Kong we know right now and see in games like Donkey Kong Country and is the son of Cranky.

[@SteveDC101]

Yep you are right donkey Kong is cranky Kong and Jr is the new donkey Kong.

[@supermakermatic2111]

Very close - Donkey Kong Jr. grew up to be modern day DK's dad. The timeline doesn't make the most sense, but at the very least it's not as bizarre as what happened with Tiny Kong.

[@ashmander3465]

Exactly

[@PikachuGamerSMT]

nope he IS the Modern DK and I'm NOT just saying that because of the Mario movie I'm saying it because it was in DK64 and Rare Ware (Creators of the DKCountry series and DK64 had an interview on their website and someone asked what happened to DKJunior and Rare said, "OUR DK is the son of Cranky which would make him Donkey Kong Junior"

[@LightStreak567]

@@PikachuGamerSMT That would make the other Donkey Kong Jr. the son of Cranky's son.

[@Mari_Izu]

Donkey Kong is Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr. is his son and Cranky is Donkey Kong's grandfather, a decrepit crazy elderly gorilla that thinks he fought Mario in his prime and everyone just agrees so he shut ups. "I fought Mario when I was younger!" "Sure grandpa, now let's get you to bed"

My very 1st experience with Donkey Kong Jr. may've been with the GBA e-Reader emulated version of the NES game back in the Gameboy Advance era, but I felt like I really miss the poor baby as much as the 1980's arcade gamers does. Nintendo, bring the son of OG Donkey Kong back please. :'U

[@GardevoirBoy1991]

Are you kidding me? Donkey Kong Jr. is so bland! Sure Diddy Kong is a reskin of Donkey Kong Jr. but the former is so much better. DK Jr. should have stayed in the 1980's. Why does he still make appearances? It's no wonder Nintendo doesn't use him much as of the early 2000s. I can't blame Nintendo restricting Donkey Kong Jr. to cameos. He deserved it, not Daisy, back in the 1990s.
