No Donkey Kong Jr. Is Donkey Kong's son. Diddy is more like a Short Round type.

And the Donkey Kong that appears in Donkey Kong Country and going forward is Donkey Kong Jr.'s son - Cranky Kong, his grandfather, is the original who kidnapped Pauline in various construction sites back in the 80s.

I knew about Cranky but I didn't realize DK was actually Donkey Kong III

Whatever happened to Junior, though? The only game I can think of where Donkey Kong Jr. and Donkey Kong III appear together is that one Mario Tennis, and that was 20 years ago.

So.... I just found out that Donkey Kong is supposed to be a gorilla.

I don't know what kind of ape I thought he was meant to be, but he didn't register as "gorilla" to me because his fur is the wrong colour.

...I guess Diddy is a chimpanzee, then?

lol my brothers gf (physical chemistry phd) literally just realized this weekend that great apes don't have tails. shes said "she just hadnt thought about it before" while laughing her rear end off

I was actually just pondering how Diddy couldn't be a chimp, since he has a tail. Well, I mean, aside from everything else.

Please don't refer to "mid 30's" as "approaching middle age," you're making me feel sad.
:(

Edit: Also I'm blown away by this Donkey Kong truth bomb.

So...OG Donkey Kong was in just the first two Donkey Kong games (Donkey Kong as the antagonist, and Donkey Kong, Jr as the victim) and his son, Jr, was only in the second one and then some version of Mario Tennis?

And the "Donkey Kong" that we've seen in countless iterations of Mario Kart, Donkey Kong Country games, etc... is Junior's son? Donkey Kong III?

I guess it's there to explain why he's "friends" with Mario? Sort of a "let's let bygones be bygones" kind of thing?

"Hey, my grand-dad kidnapped your girlfriend, his bad, then you kidnapped him and my dad rescued him, let's erase this slate and go race some cars?"

It's weird to have different Donkey Kongs in canon but Mario has remained essentially unaged for 35 years.

Isn't that because they're used as ad-serving Google traps? The content is either stolen (better) or, as they are wikis, user-generated (bad but legal and best of all for the site, free).

Mario spends a lot of time invincible (stars, metal hats etc) so we can presume he's not aging during these times, so he's aging slowly, but not ageless. I think someone found a grey hair on Mario's model in the last game, so maybe time is catching up with him.

He's gonna be like Patrick Stewart, unchanged for decades when suddenly old age catches up and he becomes a frail old man seemingly overnight
