*During development of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', Donkey Kong Jr. was originally slated to appear with a redesign.

*Oddly, several games in which Donkey Kong Jr. appears contain doppelgängers. Examples of such games include the ''[[Game & Watch#Game & Watch Gallery series|Game & Watch Gallery]]'' series (which seems to depict Donkey Kong Jr. as a species rather than an individual character), ''Donkey Kong Jr. Math'' (which includes a second Donkey Kong Jr. colored pink), and ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' (which includes many Donkey Kong Jr. lookalikes as audience members in [[GCN Waluigi Stadium|Waluigi Stadium]]). {{media link|BetaMonkeys.jpg|An early design}} for the [[Helper Monkey]]s in ''[[Donkey Kong Jungle Beat]]'' also resembled multiple Donkey Kong Jrs. (particularly his {{media link|MKDD Unused Character Icons.png|prototypical ''Double Dash!!'' model}}), but without his shirt. | *Oddly, several games in which Donkey Kong Jr. appears contain doppelgängers.

*The way ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' refers to Donkey Kong Jr., with the addition of ''SNES'' in parentheses (indicating a driver variant), makes him the only character in the game without a base driver. | |||
