And the series does the "two worlds" thing that another series does. The world Mario lives in NOW has a slower internal clock than Donkey Kong's which is more closer to the Belmonts' world.

Donkey Kong from the arcade was probably much older than Mario too. Cranky and Mario don't need to be the same age.

[@pwojo9776]

Most great apes (like gorillas and chimpanzees) live to be about 40-50 but reach maturity (essentially both puberty and adulthood) at around 15 years. It's very much possible that it's the same Mario if Cranky and him were 15-25 (also let's be real, going after some giant ape who stole your girlfriend is totally something a teenage boy would absolutely do; boys'd do crazy things to impress chicks, so let's put him at the lower end of this age spectrum) at the time of classic DK, Cranky had Jr. sometime after the first game when he was 15-25 Jr. had our DK when he was 15-25, even if our DK is about 15-25 that'd put Cranky around 40-50 (which is essentially like middle-aged for apes; that's like retirement home age for them), and Mario would be around 35. For us, that's too old to be going on dangerous adventures after princesses and monster turtles, but for him that's probably the prime of his life. So, yeah I'd say it's very possible that Mario chased after Cranky when he kidnapped his girlfriend.

It's also confirmed that Cranky was the one that raised DK "like a son" and the "father" comment is explained by saying that it's short for grandfather and used by grandkids as a form of closeness/affection towards their grandfathers.

In Donkey Kong that is not Mario. That is Jumpman Mario and Luigi's father and Pauline is their mother but after Jumpman died in donkey Kong Jr, Pauline had no choice but to send her children away to the stork since Donkey Kong would be after them. And after she sent Mario and Luigi away she gave birth to her new daughter, also named Pauline. So Pauline is Mario and Luigi's sister hear me out. In Donkey Kong Pauline has blonde hair but the new Pauline has brown hair so they must be different people. Its confusing I know but it makes a lot of sense if you ask me.

This would make sense if Jumpman wasn’t Mario. Jumpman is Mario, Mario used to be a construction worker then moved to pluming.
