Lol

Spoiler

Seriously though, the reason I added that spoiler is because most of my post was jokingly-made

conjecture

Spoiler

. I didn't want to mislead anyone into thinking that it was meant to be a straight faced explanation of DK canon, because it's not intended to be.

Should have went with "kong-jecture"

 

[crimzonflame]

Donkey is Diddy's uncle, right?

Dixie and Diddy are cousins but they are also a couple.

 

[Bomber Bob]

I always had a thing for Dixie

Donkey Kong: The Aped Crusader confirmed!

Rocksteady developing?

 

[TRI Mike]

Posting in a legendary thread.

I heard many years about Cranky being the original DK but always thought it was a joke. It'd be very weird if true.

 

[MrBadger]

I have more questions about Candy Kong

The first being "why is one of the characters in DK Country a terrifying Donkey Kong in drag?"

 

[OnPoint]

edit this

I believe this is bananabale. You should edit.

 

[Zubz]

In my head-canon there's 3 different Donkey Kongs. The 1st is the one that kidnapped Pauline and shit, the 2nd is from the Rare platformers, and the 3rd is from the Retro platformers. He's gotten much bigger over the years. No way he's the same gorilla in these 2 official art:

Just look at at fur colour and size difference. The one on the right can carry Diddy/Dixie/Cranky on his back. The 2nd one probably died wiping out all the Kremlings.

Didn't Retro joke that their Cranky was Rare's DK?

This thread is awesome GAF as it's best. Thanks for the laughs, love you guys.

DK Lore is so deep.

 

[Gumbie]

Where does Dankey Kang fit into the family tree and or lore?

 

[CTLance]

Now I know more about Donkey Kong than I ever wanted to know.

The knowledge, it stings and burns.

The Great Banana Split will never not be funny.

This...actually makes sense.

 

[foxuzamaki]

Another thing: why did this happen?

I think there was a time where nintendo actively knew they had characters that attracted the furry fanbase, and therefore catered to that niche for some extra dough

 

[The Bankslammer]

all paths in that timeline leading to barrel blast is pretty depressing

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

You guys need to step it up on your Donkey Kong lore.

Where's Funky?

Bullshit. Furries weren't even a known thing when she first appeared in DK64.

 

[The Awesomest]

Bullshit. Furries weren't even a known thing when she first appeared in DK64.

And she did not show her midriff in DK64. They became aware of furries, and gave her that design. It all checks out!

 

[foxuzamaki]

I wasent referring to her N64 incarnation lol

 

[Shotgun Kiss]

How do we explain this?!

You don't. Nintendo never adhere to any kind of continuity in the sports/Kart/party games, so they aren't factored in. That's why Mario, Baby Mario, and Metal Mario can all co-exist. Not to mention multiple people can choose the same character in some of those games, so you can have 4 Donkey Kong's co-existing.

 

[Nocturnowl]

I don't know what revelations are more shocking, the convincing DK timeline ending in Barrel Blast ruin or actually taking the time to look at Candy Kong's feet in her DKC render and GOOD LORD WHAT'S WITH THOSE FEET?!

 

[Gormless Noodle]

And she did not show her midriff in DK64. They became aware of furries, and gave her that design. It all checks out!

Even the redesign doesn't cater to them. They just made it cuter. That can actually happen without weird intentions.

I tried to fill in some missing gaps.

Very poorly

[Calamari41]

I was going to ask how Dixie, a chimp, could be related to Kiddy and Chunky, who are clearly apes. But upon further investigation, it appears that Dixie lacks a tail and thus is an ape herself.

The contents of this thread check out.

I was excited to see a second Donkey Kong thread this week. Then I clicked on it and saw nothing but Rare Kong. Yuck.

the transition into the song always kills me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9-g7zRpayw

Haha! Perfection.

This detailed of a timeline for a joke? Somebody had to have spent hours making this.

Spoiler

And it was worth every minute; can somebody get a direct line to Miyamoto to confirm?

 

[Elija2]

lol at the Ministry of Music

 

[superNESjoe]

Didn't Retro joke that their Cranky was Rare's DK?

Really, that's hilarious if true. Haven't seen anything turn up though.

In other news, should we bother with some Canon for Wario? Who is this guy? Is he Marios cousin? Or just an weird and kinda evil "doppelganger"?

 

[DDayton]

Sigh. This is up for debate again?

Current DK = Grandson of original DK (Cranky).
Except when he isn't.

He is an "evil creep" who is jealous of Mario's popularity and has been since they were boys.

Cough.

Where is Mario popular? In our world: Yes. Mushroom kingdoom? Well he is known but is he popular? Everybody seems to know him, but usually when he is around nobody acts different...

I love how no matter what, Barrel Blast is a fixed event in all timelines.

 

[PBalfredo]

What game is that tube-top Tiny Kong even from? I don't remember her being in anything past DK64.

 

[Beren the Empty-Handed]

Gotta Kong fast?

I do believe that in all of the Mario RPG games (Mario RPG, Superstar Series, and Paper series), Mario is indeed treated like a celebrity by the good guys and is also well known to the bad guys.

Ok, this is really good.

 

[Dash Kappei]

This is great.

 

[Dagobert Duck]

LOL ok
