      So Donkey Kong lore can be weird, depending on which Donkey Kong you subscribe to.

      The most well known version design of Donkey Kong starts with Donkey Kong Country, where Donkey Kong is the grandson of Cranky Kong. Cranky Kong was the original Donkey Kong that threw barrels at Mario (Jumpman at the time).

      That also means we’re missing a Kong, Donkey Kong’s father, Donkey Kong Jr. The design shown here does closely resemble what a grown up Donkey Kong Jr might look like.

      SO, the Donkey Kong show here might not be Donkey Kong, it may be Donkey Kong Jr, better known simply as Donkey Kong. It could also just be a young Donkey Kong or Cranky Kong, since they’re related and may look similar.
