He also originally had the name Donkey Kong until he turned it over to his replacement, and has not resumed the title since (with the sole exception being re-releases such as games in the [[Game & Watch#Game & Watch Gallery series|Game & Watch Gallery series]]). He finds a way to help Donkey Kong and his friends in their adventures, though it usually entails giving out advice or valuable items for a [[Banana Coin|price]]. Although he frequently gets fustrated with DK, he does nonetheless look out for him. | ||
