pauline being young actually doesnt change much. just means lady and jumpman are seperate characters now which makes sense anyways.

the only thing we dont know is if the game has the movie retcon of DK being crankys son or not and funnily country DK could still be dk III in this instance if cranky is actually dk jr(he could still make references to the arcade games since he was there). unfortunately this would mean og DK is dead though

my head canon is cranky is actually jr and the og DK tragically died shortly after dk jr
