Who else is bothered by the fact that the Donkey Kong in the arcade game was Cranky Kong...

Who else is bothered by the fact that the Donkey Kong in the arcade game was Cranky Kong? The fucking game title is Donkey Kong. Why complicate things?

Also I have nothing against Pauline but look at the sprite. That's fucking Peach.

First off, the Donkey Kong title is given to who ever is the ruler of Kongo Bongo. Cranky back then was the original Donkey Kong.

Jump Man and Pauline hooked up and had 2 kids, Mario and Luigi.

This is why Cranky is old yet Mario is young in most games, it's because Jumpman from the Donkey Kong games is not Mario

It's also why years later. DK Jr. was in Mario Kart SNES at an adult age instead of the original 1982 Donkey Kong. By the time Donkey Kong Country rolled out, DK Jr. disappeared, we got the new leader of Kongo Bongo aka Donkey Kong from DKC and the rest is history.

I was told that Cranky Kong's stick is a piece of the barrel from the arcade game. Is that true, mr Video Game Historian?

Nintendo states its the same mario. Animals age faster though and live less.

Theres 3 kongs.

When does the Great Ape War take place between all this?

There is a lot of visuals that make the connection, right up to the very first scene of DKC1 with the Donkey Kong 1982 stage design and music. His rants all are connected to 1980-1983 arcade/console gaming limitations.

You tell me

DEEPEST LORE

Jesus christ the lore of Mario is so fucking deep

I wonder why they refuse to ever use DKJ again.

His last appearance to this day is still Super Mario Kart.

Bring him back as middle-aged and team him up with Donkey Kong III and Kranky Kong.

>Nintendo states its the same mario.
reps are retarded

Shut the fuck up you piece of shit autist, stop trying to push your shitty fan-fiction lore.

Who? Reggie "I don't even like video games" Filisofiosososo.

Some Tree House tool that will take any job they can get while hiding the child porn on their mac book?

That's an interesting story, but there is no canon information stating that Jumpman is not Mario (pretty much the otherwise actually). Also Pauline appear in modern Mario games. Or you're going to say that new Pauline is Mario's sister?

His last appearance was Mario Tenis.

BUT THAT'S JUST A THEORY
A GAY THEORY

>the Donkey Kong title is given to who ever is the ruler of Kongo Bongo

That doesn't make sense when his son's name was Donkey Kong Jr.

Sounds like you are triggered? I guess we both spend our Friday nights alone.

Not really,Cranky was never mean to be real Kong until Rare said so. Even then In Japan they just say Cranky isn't the first kong.

Then later it goes Cranky was first Donkey then Jr then Rares kong as third. Then one dport game pretends there's only one,

What? Fuck you.

I'm done here. Smell ya later.

Donkey Kong Jr. disappeared but not before Smash mentioned him in a trophy for his first game, kart racing (Mario Kart SNES), Tennis (Virtual Boy) and Math (Donkey Kong Math)

The fact he is mentioned along the likes of Cranky Kong's trophy (who ties him to Donkey Kong 1982) and Donkey Kong Modern (and his trophy listing him from DKC and above), seems like he is in between.

He died in the Great Ape War

What's with the onesie?

maybe he is donkey kong, but he was the junior at the time of kranky kong's reign of being the "donkey kong"

Strongmen are generally associated with apes who would wear similar outfits

The theory is he is Donkey Kong Modern's dad and Cranky's son, but died in the Great Ape War. He would have been Funky Kong's age.

The typical orphan hero story type.

How old was Mario at the time then? Even if he was only 15 in Donkey Kong he'd have to be retirement age in the present.

Cartoon ageing

Average lifespan of a gorilla is 35 years

Mario is in his 20s in 1980 for Donkey Kong Arcade, Donkey Kong is also in his 20s and a full sized ape.

By Super Mario 1, Super Mario 3, and Super Mario World. Mario is now in his 30s. and Donkey Kong in his 30s too, but now being 30 for an ape is OLD AS FUCK, thus DKC

It's simple really

I wonder what happened to Cranky's ship, airplane and tower base

is that average lifespan with child death or without

Then who is the Pauline that appears in Mario vs Donkey Kong series?

He is Harambe. That's why he disappeared.

its a game

He was also in Mario Tennis on the N64 algonside current DK.

Epic win! +1 internet to you.

>Also I have nothing against Pauline but look at the sprite. That's fucking Peach.
That's not Pauline nor Peach. It's Louise (aka Lady).

>great expansion to a fun arcade game
>they ditch the formula afterwards to make more games with the minis gimmick

It's not fair

i feel you man

>Kongo Bongo

The GBA one only had you collecting the minis that DK stole, didn't it? It wasn't until the DS that they turned into Lemmings.

...

WE WUZ KONGS AND SHIT

What? Is she really a different character with a different name?

Whaat? I thought she got retconned to Pauline!

>yfw Mario is a playa and had Daisy, Peach, Pauline, and Louise

Who's next? Rosalina?

Peach takes Dragon Turtle dick though.

Daisy also takes in Wario, Waluigi, and maybe out of pity Luigi dick

Not if Bowser or Waluigi will get their hands on her first.
(spoiler)I'll never understand why people ship Rosalina with those two

>Whaat? I thought she got retconned to Pauline!
This was my understanding as well; she was retconned into being Pauline with DK94 to make her stand out from Peach.

She was supposed to be, but most of the Japanese media didn't get the memo until Smash 4. In fact, the KC Mario manga has Louise and Pauline as separate characters too.

Huh. Does that further this guy's theory then?

Oh, they used Jr again.

Things didn't end well for him, though.

alternate timeline

The first Mario vs. Donkey Kong game played just like this one, though. The mini stuff didn't infest the gameplay until after.
