Donkey Kong's exact role in the [[Mario (series)|''Mario'' series]] is somewhat sketchy. His original appearance portrayed him as a villainous-or just stupid and confused-ape with unequaled strength. In these games, Donkey Kong didn't wear a tie, like he does now. | Donkey Kong's exact role in the [[Mario (series)|''Mario'' series]] is somewhat sketchy.

However, with the release of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', Donkey Kong was given a new personality, a new home, and a single piece of clothing (a tie with the letters DK printed on them). ''Donkey Kong Country'' also saw the appearance of [[Cranky Kong]], who claimed to be the original Donkey Kong from the old [[Arcade]] games. It was confirmed that the tie wearing DK was a different character from the original DK in Donkey Kong's ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'' bio, where it makes a reference to "his ancestor (the original Donkey Kong)....". Thus, it is widely believed now that Cranky Kong is an older version of Mario age-old nemesis, while the current Donkey Kong (who inherited his ancestors name) is the older version of Donkey Kong Jr. This argument still goes on today. | However, with the release of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', Donkey Kong was given a new personality, a new home, and a single piece of clothing (a tie with the letters DK printed on them).
