[@captainclawlie239]

34:57 At this exact moment, the mention of this name, I jolted up in my seat and knew my time had come. I was almost certain he wouldn't make it in this video, due to his sheer obscurity, but it's finally time, time for my encyclopedic knowledge of the DKC cartoon to come into play! You see, in the final episode of the cartoon, there is a letter addressed to Donkey Kong, stating that he's been invited to become the head of the Association of Future Rulers. They use this as en excuse to play a clip show of previous episodes, with the context being that DK is going to have to move away, so they're all reminiscing. *However,* at the end of the episode, it's revealed that the letter was misread- It's not addressed to Donkey Kong, it's addressed to *Monkey* Kong. This is, unsurprisingly, the first and only instance of this character ever being referenced whatsoever, and raises a ton of questions. Apparently, there is another Kong out there, who is ALSO a future ruler of... SOMETHING, and only God knows what. Not only is there a second Kong who is designated as a future ruler of some place, a title of VERY great importance- He's also apparently been elected as *the leader of all future rulers, meaning he outranks Donkey Kong.* The implications of this small, seemingly innocuous detail are wide-reaching and largely incomprehensible upon closer inspection. This is the case with many such moments in the show, which is why I consistently find it a joy to overanalyze.

Tiny Kong aging is a little weird, but it's not THAT weird, considering Cranky became an old man and DK Jr became an adult and had DK, who himself grew up to be an adult, all within the span of probably just a few years. Kongs just mature really quickly. When you play as Tiny in DK64, she's a kid, but in the future games she's an adult. Dixie was always an adult. Tiny Kong just had pretty different genetics compared to Dixie, I guess. Growing up to have a build more like Candy than staying short like her older sister.

[@MagillanicaLouM]

That and even in dk64 she's more upright standing and taller than Diddy already. And given Chunky is similar in being more anthro than ape un build as well, Dixie is the real outlier of the family actually. I think there's even artwork of Kiddy standing more upright and he's already taller than Dixie too. But also the irl reason is cause nintendo wants Tiny to be an inbetween of Dixie and Candy in terms of appeal. The middle ground between cute and eye Candy Kong. Won't lie, it worked on me growing up lol

[@HelloTimr]

Why isn’t the modern DK Jr.?

[@DaNintendude]

@@HelloTimr There's no indication that DK Jr is the modern DK. The only real evidence is a line from DK64 where Cranky calls DK his son instead of grandson. But developers have said that was a mistake. And Nintendo has consistently called Cranky his grandpa for the last 20 years. People like to believe it because they think it makes sense. But DK and Jr's designs don't really add up all that much at all, and Jr was already an adult in games like Super Mario Kart and Mario's Tennis (Virtual Boy).

[@GunMetalMinx]

Tiny also aspired to look like Candy Kong, who has said she works out extensively to maintain her figure and over all appearance. I can only assume Tiny opted for the same regimen and had similar results while still appearing younger than Candy.

Monkey Kong is actually mentioned in the DKC cartoon.

My theory for why Chunky Kong also tries to get the player to pick him in the barrel in Donkey Kong N64 is literally "Monkey See, Monkey Do." He sees everyone else doing it and goes along with it, not realizing why. Which is why he gasps and is like "UH-UH. Pick TIny." when he gets put in the spotlight - because that's when he realized what he was doing. Because when you scroll off him, he lets out a sigh of relief and it takes a bit of time for him to start doing it again, unlike the rest of the Kongs.

Dixie and Tiny’s relationship is interesting because despite starting off, well… Tiny, Miyamoto decided to age her up to be the same weight as Banjo during the making of Diddy Kong Racing DS, Dixie replaced Conker as well. You know how Mario is the older brother and Luigi is the younger brother despite their height differences I feel like it’s best to look at Dixie and Tiny the same way, even if we don’t really see them interact or go on adventures together.

I think Tiny is just straight built different. It's not just the height that's a strange difference between them. Even back when she was Tiny Tiny (DK64) she was notably more humanoid than her sister: standing upright, fully clothed (by human standards) and walking without assistance from her arms to push her along. I think Dixie happened to get the gene that meant she would be monke forever more but Tiny got a gene that makes her more humanoid (like Candy) and makes her mature like a human teen would

(would understand excluding these two because they are robots) cranky kong's great grandfather - mentioned somewhere in the dkc cartoon show but I forgot the episode. more info on the kong's you didn't know much about: the unnamed black kong was a scrapped character from jungle beat. I think he eventually became dread kong. Monkey kong was mentioned in the final episode of the dkc cartoon. there was a letter that was misaddressed to dk but actually was for monkey kong.

Side note: Ukiki actually first appeared in Yoshi's Island, with a slightly different design that is now currently used as of Super Mario 64 DS. Back then, Ukikis were only known as Grinders, Shortfuses, and Seedy Sallies, depending on what they're doing. In early Yoshi games, Ukikis can be turned into eggs, but in more recent Yoshi games, they can't be swallowed and have to be spat out. Interestingly, Yoshi's Crafted World introduces a rounder, more gorilla-esque Ukiki that comes in two varieties, and are only known by internal data name: there's a pirate variety that wears a bandana, internally named Uckykong, and a white yeti variant internally named Snow Ucky Kong. I presume their names would be better translated as Ukikong or Uki-Kong, and these would obviously be a bridge between the Ukikis and the Kongs There was also a scrapped Ukiki boss for Yoshi's Island that bears more resemblance to Donkey Kong, with a bigger chest and the ability to throw barrels. I believe that there's also data for this boss in Yoshi's Island's prototype version, Super Donkey.

10/10 I went bananas. Incidentally, DK's white Smash recolor being a reference to Eddie might actually be a thing.

As well as the show itself having a trading card game! If I recall correctly, in the GDS 1999 or E3 1999, I forgot which, they had mascot costumes of the characters while promoting Donkey Kong 64.

I think the reason Tiny Kong is taller in later games comes from the fact she can "size-manipulate" herself. In DK64, she can become.... well, "Tiny" by entering a barrel. But what if she could also make herself grow taller to look more like Candy Kong, and found a solution to make it permanent? I think this is the most likely scenario for her differences between older and newer games.

[@metalex64]

Really enjoyed the video, it's really nice to see a fellow Donkey Kong fan that tried to find out just how many Kongs in total there are! I did notice some Kongs were missing, and a few mistakes too, so here are some corrections: - The "artwork" you've shown to represent the "Kong species" is actually a fan-made modification of an artwork of a Helper Monkey from Jungle Beat. - "Great Aunt Grouchy" was specifically mentionned in the episode "The Curse of Kongo Bongo" from the DKC cartoon. Cranky even calls her in that episode about a curse from that episode, and mentions that he's her favorite nephew. - "Bink" from Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga being a Kong was actually redacted in the Nintendo 3DS remake, where he is instead a regular skeleton crewmate. - Monkey Kong is a Kong that was mentionned once in the final episode of the cartoon, "Message in a Bottle Show", chosen to lead the "Federation of Future Rulers". - Mini Donkey Kong (not to be confused with the Mario VS DK toy) is the alarm clock in the Game & Watch version of Donkey Kong. - The "unnamed Kong with dark fur" is an early version of Dread Kong from Jungle Beat. - The "old Kong that looks important" in the movie is actually Cranky Kong. When the cast was first revealed back in September of 2021, Cranky Kong was said to be voiced by Fred Armisen. So the Donkey Kong that appears in the trailer is actually the modern DK and not Cranky. Oh also fun fact, but Diddy, Dixie & Swanky all appeared on the DK-focused poster for the Mario Movie, and Funky and Kiddy both appeared in the trailer on the Rainbow Road section. - Donkey Kong Jr (II) was created exclusively for Donkey Kong Jr Math, a game for the NES, never appeared outside of that game, and has an actual name in the manual, where they're known specifically as "Junior (II)", and not "Donkey Kong Jr (II)". Just thought that was a funny fun fact. Now as for Kongs you forgot: - The "Chained Kongs" enemies from Super Mario RPG, which look identical in appearance to the Guerillas enemies that you did mention. - Funky Kong's late great uncle Spacey (was mentionned once by Funky Kong in the "Monkey Seer, Monkey Do" episode of the DKC cartoon) - The "Ucky Kong" and "Snow Ucky Kong" species (both only appeared in Yoshi's Crafted World) - Ringo (a cartoonist Kong friend of Donkey Kong who only appeared in the "Donkey Kong Jungle Action Special" magazine) - Donkey Kong Jr's Uncle Julius (appeared in the "Gorilla Ghost" episode of the Saturday Supercade cartoon) - No idea if these would count, but there was also Sonny, Momma, and Poppa (all from the "Hairy Parent" episode of the Saturday Supercade cartoon), and the "Wrestling Gorilla" (from "The Ventriloquist Caper" episode). - The German Club Nintendo comic "Donkey Kong In: Banana Day 24" also includes a Kong news reporter, and I don't know if you'd count these, but also two aliens based on Donkey Kong and Candy Kong. - King Kong himself was also mentionned in the "Legend of the Crystal Coconut" episode of the Donkey Kong Country cartoon, said to be Donkey Kong's idol. - There were also generic-looking Kongs on some Donkey Kong tracks from Mario Kart Arcade GP DX. - If we are to include unused/cut Kongs/Kong lookalikes, then we can include the early designs for the Helper Monkeys from Jungle Beat, and an unused boss enemy from Yoshi's Island (named BOSS SARU in the internal data for the game and in the gigaleak) which looks like a mix of the Ukikis and Donkey Kong. - And if we want to be crazy, we could also include the many robotic Kongs that have existed, like the many Minis from the Mario vs DK games, "Candy Clone" from the DKC cartoon, and the Cyber Kongs from Barrel Blast.

You know, if Cranky Kong fought Mario in his prime, get old and become a grandpa without Mario or Pauline aging one bit, I think Tiny having a growth spurt is acceptable.

I know there have been debates over the modern DK's identity, but Leigh Loveday (one of the main writers for Rare and the one who originally came up with the backstory) said that Cranky is the arcade DK and the modern DK is Jr. all grown up. Honestly, I like that explanation the best because it factors in real-life gorilla aging while also fitting into the main Mario timeline (i.e. it explains how Mario is able to still be young while Cranky is old and there's another Donkey Kong). Three generations of DK are at odds with Mario but two generations still fit nicely.

[@apollojusticefanboy]

Great Video. When it comes to the movie it was confirmed that Cranky Kong was gonna be in the Mario Movie and his voice actor was announced with the same announcement that announced Donkey Kong and everyone else actors. Because of this I believe that the Kong on the throne is Cranky Kong. What I am wondering is if Mario will already know Donkey Kong and Cranky Kong or if this will be his first time meeting him as this movie will be a origin story with Mario going from what looks to be Brooklyn to the Mushroom Kingdom. They could say that Mario already fought Cranky Kong and won and that is why Mario is fighting Donkey Kong. There was also a poster that was leaked a day before the second trailer that looks to be Mario and Luigi in Brooklyn and in the background there is a woman who looks to be Pauline in her Odyssey suit so the events of Donkey Kong could have happened before the movie but we don’t know yet. One argument I have heard is that this is an origin story and Mario doesn’t look experienced going through the obstacles and facing Bowser at first but you could say that this new adventure in the Mushroom Kingdom is not like anything Mario has ever experienced before. Anyway I would be disappointed if Mario didn’t already know Cranky Kong because of the Brooklyn to Mushroom Kingdom Origin story but I wouldn’t be too upset. Also the poster that was released that features Donkey Kong looks to have Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong in the background. And in the Mario Kart scene people believe that the racer to the right of Mario is Funky Kong. I am interested to learn more about the movie and the Kong’s roll in the story.

[@excalibrrimcold9354]

With what you said about Chunky's lack of appearances in the DK main games and spinoffs the modern DK rap saying that chunky's dead makes sense.

[@SolandVideos]

Dude the way this video was narrated and the swearing was AWESOME, love to see more videos like this in the future

[@LeonardoRodrigues-uj1sm]

Came from CONEY, got a sub. You are amazing!

[@FreakGeSt]

Tiny Kong is such a genius that she somehow mature her body faster than any to mach her mind with her body, literally the perfect kong.

[@UberWolfKing]

When you said, "you've listened to me talk about fictional monkeys for 32 minutes now" it really put things into perspective for me about what I was doing on a late Friday night. So I subscribed.

[@Ganchanzilla]

I think tiny has whatever gene that candy has that makes her have an upright posture rather than the knuckle walking posture that dixie has I’d argue that the apes/monkeys in the Mario universe are at a bit of an evolutionary turning point where there still close enough to genetically that they can still mate with each other and produce healthy offspring but different enough that you can get these huge differences in skeletal construction

[@corystarkiller]

Carlito: Here's Uncle Kong. Also Carlito: DK Jr 2 makes no sense. Pink is just light red. Uncle Kong is just DK Jr 2, but grown up.

[@apollojusticefanboy]

When it comes to Tiny Kong’s design change one explanation that I thought of when you were discussing Tiny Kong is that Tiny Kong looks that way she does because like you said in your Tiny Kong section, Tiny Kong looks up to Candy Kong as a role model so her new look was an attempt to be more like Candy Kong. Now how Tiny Kong was able to look like that I don’t know but maybe it has something to do with her powers or abilities but who knows.

Donkey Kong and Mario were my first ever gaming experience at about 2/3 yrs old with my dad on the Nintendo 64 I loved those games so much. Such good games for the time. My little boy loves Donkey Kong he calls him “donking tong” cutest thing ever. Will always have a soft spot for these 2 games it’s crazy how they have lasted up until today.

[@Marsh69420.]

This wad incredibly helpful, thank you for making this masterpiece

[@ps3controller99]

15:44 made my heart drop since 1.Chunky is my 2nd favorite kong (first is Lanky) 2.The idea of Chunky in that state is just deep and disturbing in my opinion

[@Joshyboy225]

Came here from coney! I’ll definitely have to check out your other stuff too!

[@Beefaroni_Bert]

Something interesting to note is that in the mario movie cranky is just DKs dad. while people can think "oh miyamoto is switching up the lore" but in 64 he was also his dad, which means either the dk we know and love has always been dk junior and some of the games fucked up the lore or there is 2 different dks at different times as in jr. is playable in some games and dk the third is in others. insane to think about

[@SykoMuffin]

this feels like 2009 youtube. i love this so much

[@PotatoPatatoVonSpudsworth]

34:43 "Redneck" isn't a slur or anything. It's a variation of the term "roughneck," both referring to getting a sunburn on the back of your neck because you've been working outside. That said, Redneck Kong definitely IS an offensive stereotype of southern USA, and scrapping that guy was a good call.

[@punpun666]

Great Kongtent, Man! Keep It up!

[@ZingZangZote]

34:58 Monkey Kong is a character mentioned in the "Message in a Bottle Show" episode of the Donkey Kong Country cartoon. The episode starts off with Donkey and Diddy fishing. Donkey Kong reels in something but it ends up being a message in a bottle. The message is from the Federation of Future Rulers and it reads how they believe Monkey Kong should be the future ruler of all rulers. Donkey Kong misreads the letter into believing it was for him, he was upset he had to leave Kongo Bongo Island to go and become a leader, however, at the end of the episode, Donkey Kong realises the letter was not addressed to him. Monkey Kong is never actually seen, though.

[@jakemon1017]

This video hasn't gone viral yet. But I know that it will. And that scares me

[@Jellycent13]

Came here from Coney. Impressive video, keep it up!

[@mrperson8321]

This guy has the best delivery

[@BurnRoddy]

DK Jr. , Funky Kong and Eddie The Yeti are my favorites. They have that cool aesthetic to them.

[@wistfulanthophila9317]

the dk jr 2 thing isnt too absurd when mario lost levels has bowser's brother (literally just blue bowser you fight before the real one)

[@Mari_Izu]

It was actually a palette glitch.

[@Brick_Eater_]

according to ssbu, that was actually a fake bowser

[@edd_end]

"You've listened to me talk about fictional monkeys for 30 minutes now" hit me so hard, I got whiplash from the revelation

[@somegenericguy2909]

I always get confused on how Mario fought a young Cranky Kong while DK Jr was just a small child, but then was a baby at the same time DK the Third was a baby. So either there's some time travel shit going on or arcade Mario is current Mario's father

[@RyansDadSam]

36:07 And so was Luigi in the arcade game "Mario Bros." Which to me, gives a little, tiny hint that Dk jr. 2 is Dk jr.'s brother. But you can believe what you want to, I, Steve Harvey, am not here to start no Beefaroni.

[@jayoseven]

i'd shower this video with coconut cream pies

[@PotatoPatatoVonSpudsworth]

Headcanon: Swanky Kong moved to New Donk City, made it big, and hasn't returned any of the Kong's banana-phone-calls since.

[@Nathan-rb3qp]

I would love to see more family tree videos like this from you.

[@Mex_Luigi]

As soon as this video started I knew it would be perfect. Nothing matters other than how unhinged DK is as a game franchise and this video reflects that 100%. It doesn't matter if this video is in 4K or 8K or 720p. It doesn't matter what the audio quality is or what the script says. What matters is that this video fully encompasses the feeling of what it is like to know every kong. And it is perfect. It should not be altered in any way, for it would become less perfect.

[@Mex_Luigi]

This is a compliment; Best video ever made, A+

[@pheonix2014]

I love the way this video is worded. Gives me cybershell vibes. Keep up the great content!

[@CarlitoCFL]

I'm glad! I actually love Cybershell's format of videos so I'm glad you picked up on the inspiration lmfao

[@Paul-cj2dy]

Dude. Your videos are hilarious. Something about expletive language and classic Nintendo games makes me chuckle.

[@smashbro2165]

Good news about Chunky Kong He is in the Mario movie in the background

[@derpythebroom]

Man I can't buy this man's only has 300 subs this video was like peak production I loved it and I'd love to see more content and Donkey Kong stuff keep it up man I love your efforts

[@blizzardwarrior8738]

Before i watch this whole video, i'd say i know about 10 Kongs by name. Donkey. Diddy. Dixie. Kiddy/Kiddie? Cranky. Wrinkly. Chunky. Lanky. Funky. Swanky. Donkey Jr.? (does he count?) That's like 10, 11, if Jr. counts.

[@Lando-My-Love]

Incredible. So many of these old ass kong renders would make for incredible pfps

[@NewWaveWill]

I’d love to see an every Toad video

[@StarHaven64]

Dope video, I love the part about Lanky! Chunky also is my favorite Kong.

[@Benobot99]

Chunky, Diddy, and Dixie appeared in the Mario movie! :)

[@idontwanthishandle]

so did a lot of other kongs in the bg, even swanky kong!

[@halg3625]

Make more of these, we love you! You have the most chill, yet aggressive demeanor, and I fucking love it.

[@Hipnopoleon]

I think that the guy that we fight the arcade dk is mario father, because it dont make sense for mario be so old to make cranky that old

[@jellybones4863]

I appreciate you for including chained Kong (Guerilla) whom is a prisoner of War none the less...

[@caltontherobot7768]

Kongs I was able to remember and name by hand and mind immediately before this video: 1: Donkey Kong 2: Diddy Kong 3: Dixie Kong 4: Cranky Kong 5: Funky Kong 6: Tiny Kong 7: Lanky Kong 8: Chunky Kong 9: Kiddy Kong 10: Wrinkly Kong 11: Swanky Kong 12: Mankey Kong
