>... argument mostly derives from the question of whether or not Donkey Kong, the character in modern Nintendo games who is rivals with Mario, is the ORIGINAL Donkey Kong from the arcade, or if that's Cranky
>In DKC for the SNES, Cranky Kong repeatedly says that the original Donkey Kong who fought Mario on the girders is himself, and the current Donkey Kong is just his son
>It’s complicated by Bananza, in which Donkey Kong and Cranky Kong are separate characters again, but Pauline is now a middle-schooler instead of an adult woman. Is Cranky Kong kidnapped an adult Pauline, how is his son spending time with a child Pauline? Is this the daughter of the original Pauline?
>Furthermore, in Smash Brothers, Donkey Kong's original appearance date is clearly given as 1981, the year the original Donkey Kong released, starring the character now known as Cranky Kong
>And let’s not even try to figure out how DK Jr. fits into this.
