>… issue arises primarily from the question of whether or not Donkey Kong, the character, is two individual people who were at some point named Donkey Kong, or a single person
>In the DKC series, it is made unambiguously clear that Cranky Kong is the "original" Donkey Kong who battled Jumpman on the girders, and the current Donkey Kong is his son
>It is also made clear in Mario Odyssey that Mario battling a gorilla on girders to rescue Pauline is still canon
>However, no other games besides the DKC series reference Cranky Kong, his only direct Mario-series reference is in the film
>This is notable because the Mario Kart and Party series have included every other major Donkey Kong character except Cranky
>Additionally, Super Smash Bros consistently labels Donkey Kong's first appearance as 1981, when the original arcade game came out, when it makes distinctions for Ganon vs Ganondorf or Link vs Toon Link
>This also raises the additional question of whether DK Jr from the second arcade game is a distinct character or just the younger form of "modern" Donkey Kong
>And don’t even get me started on why Donkey Kong aged into an old man as Cranky Kong, but Mario and Pauline are still the same age as they were in the 80s…
