'''Donkey Kong Jr.''' (shortened to '''DK Jr.''', '''DKJr.''', or just '''Junior''') is a [[Kong]] character who debuted in ''[[Donkey Kong Jr. (game)|Donkey Kong Jr.]]'' as the titular hero. In the events of the game, he has to rescue his father, [[Donkey Kong]], from [[Mario]]. For a time, he sporadically appeared in spin-off ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' games as a playable character, though he was effectively replaced with [[Diddy Kong]] in this regard starting with ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'', coinciding with the latter becoming fully acquired from [[Rare Ltd.]] by [[Nintendo]].


'''Donkey Kong Jr.''' (sometimes referred to as '''DK Jr.''' or just '''Junior''') is the son of the original [[Cranky Kong|Donkey Kong]]. He first debuted in ''[[Donkey Kong Jr. (game)|Donkey Kong Jr.]]'', an arcade game first released in 1982. He has yet to make any playable appearances since ''[[Mario Tennis]]''. Donkey Kong Jr. may be the modern [[Donkey Kong]] from the ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' series, or the father of the modern Donkey Kong, while Junior's father assumed the name [[Cranky Kong]].
While he is occasionally [[Cranky Kong#Identity confusion|identified]] as a younger version of the modern Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr. is most commonly referenced as his father, and the son of [[Cranky Kong]].<ref>"<i>''Super Mario Kart'' is the only ''Mario Kart'' game to feature Donkey Kong Jr. Due to the success of ''Donkey Kong Country'', all future ''Mario Kart'' entries featured Donkey Kong, who is actually Donkey Kong Jr.’s son, with Cranky Kong, aka Donkey Kong Sr., canonically being the character featured in the original ''Donkey Kong'' game.

Donkey Kong Jr.'s premier appearance is in the eponymous ''[[Donkey Kong Jr. (game)|Donkey Kong Jr.]]'' He is the star of the game and the only playable character. Following the events of the original ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'', Donkey Kong Jr.'s father, [[Donkey Kong]], has been locked up by [[Mario]]. Donkey Kong Jr. must travel through four stages by climbing up vines and navigating other obstacles, as well as avoiding the enemies Mario sends at him to impede his progress, such as [[Snapjaw]]s and [[Nitpicker]]s. However, if he drops fruit on the enemies, they are defeated. Once Donkey Kong Jr. reaches the top of each stage, he attempts to insert a [[key]] into his father's cage, but appears confused as Mario hauls his father away to the next stage. In the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] version, all characters simply remain idle at the end of each stage before the next one begins.
 
When Donkey Kong Jr. defeats Mario at last by inserting all of the keys into their keyholes in the [[Chain Scene]], Donkey Kong and Mario both fall, but Donkey Kong Jr. catches his father and then walks off-screen with him as Mario chases them. In the NES version, this scene only has Donkey Kong Jr. catch his father, with the rest of the scene being omitted.


[[Diddy Kong]] of the ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' series was first intended to be a redesign of Donkey Kong Jr., but Nintendo didn't like the extreme changes [[Rare, Ltd.]] was making to the character, and ordered that the ''Donkey Kong Country'' sidekick be made into a completely new character.<ref>As revealed in ''Retro Gamer'' magazine.</ref>
In the original arcade game, he also appears during the transition scene between the [[Jump Board Scene]] and [[Mario's Hideout]], where he pursues Mario's chopper by floating with a parasol.


==History==
In the [[Game & Watch]] version of ''[[Donkey Kong Jr. (Game & Watch)|Donkey Kong Jr.]]'', Donkey Kong Jr. appears as the playable character. He must dodge birds and Snapjaws and grab a key swinging from a tree to unlock his father's cage.

====''Donkey Kong Jr.====
[[Image:DKjr.png|thumb|left|150px|Donkey Kong Jr. holding a key.]]
Donkey Kong Jr.'s premier appearance is in ''[[Donkey Kong Jr. (game)|Donkey Kong Jr.]]''; a game named after him. He is the star of the game and the only playable character. It follows the events of the original ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'' and Donkey Kong Jr.'s father, [[Cranky Kong|Donkey Kong]] has been locked up by [[Mario]]. Donkey Kong Jr. must travel through four stages, climbing vines to ascend them and then watching as Mario hauls his father further on through the game.


There are numerous enemies that Donkey Kong Jr. must avoid. However if he drops a fruit on the enemies, they will be defeated. Once Donkey Kong Jr. has put a key into the cage, Mario will move further on. When Donkey Kong Jr. beats Mario at last in [[Stage 4]], Donkey Kong and Mario both fall and Donkey Kong Jr. catches his father and then walks off-screen with his newly-freed dad.
====''Donkey Kong II''====
In ''[[Donkey Kong II]]'', Donkey Kong Jr. appears in the same capacity as the previous Game & Watch title. In this game, he must dodge Snapjaw, Sparks, and birds and use keys to open the locks on his father's restraints.


====''Donkey Kong Jr. Math====
====''Donkey Kong Jr. Math''====
One year later, Donkey Kong Jr. made another playable appearance in the game ''[[Donkey Kong Jr. Math]]''. His father stood at the top of the stage, holding a sign with a random number placed on it. Donkey Kong Jr. had to climb amongst multiple vines to gather the correct numbers and mathematical signs to create the number on his father's sign.
Donkey Kong Jr. makes another playable appearance in ''[[Donkey Kong Jr. Math]]''. In Calculate A and B, his father stands at the top of the stage, holding a sign with a random number placed on it. Donkey Kong Jr. must climb among multiple vines to gather the correct numbers and mathematical signs to create the number on his father's sign. In +-×÷ Exercise, Donkey Kong Jr. has to solve equations by climbing multiple chains to input the digits of the answer. In the instruction booklet, he is dubbed '''Junior (I)'''.<ref name=FuzzyMath/>


This game also starred a [[Pink Donkey Kong Jr.|pink-colored ape]] that could be playable in a two-player game; however, Donkey Kong Jr. was still brown in color, and could be played as in both one- and two-player modes.

This game also features a pink-colored palette swap of Donkey Kong Jr. named '''Junior (II)''',<ref name=FuzzyMath>''Donkey Kong Jr. Math'' instruction booklet.

In ''[[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Donkey Kong]]'' on the [[Game Boy]], Donkey Kong Jr. aids his father in kidnapping [[Pauline]], and Mario must defeat both of them before rescuing her. For most of the game, Donkey Kong Jr. usually stays in areas inaccessible by Mario, activating and deactivating levers in ways that can either help or harm Mario. Sometimes, Donkey Kong Jr. even appears out in the open and throws Poison Mushrooms. He kills Mario instantly if he touches him. Finally, Mario got to stop him for good in Stage 9-4, where he locked him in a cage in a fashion similar to Stage 4 of the original ''Donkey Kong Jr.''. In the ending, Donkey Kong Jr. somehow managed to free himself and lay in wait as Pauline gave Mario a Super Mushroom to catch Donkey Kong, and acted as soon as his father was calling for help, although they presumably buried the hatchet.

In the end, the group take a photo together.

In 1992, Donkey Kong Jr. appeared as a playable character in ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'' for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]]. He was classified as a heavyweight character, along with [[Bowser]]. His preferred item was the [[Banana]], with which he would litter the racecourses. His kart had maximum top speeds; however, if he were to drift away from the main course, its speed would decrease greatly. In every ''Mario Kart'' title since ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'', he has been replaced by the modern Donkey Kong. He also appears as a cameo in the background of [[Waluigi Stadium]] in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''
Donkey Kong Jr. appears as a playable character in ''[[Super Mario Kart]]''. He is classified as a heavyweight character alongside [[Bowser]]. His preferred item is the [[Banana]], with which he litters the racecourses as a CPU. His kart has maximum top speeds; however, if he drifts away from the main course, its speed decreases greatly.
 
Official artwork of ''Super Mario Kart'' shows a red "J" on Donkey Kong Jr.'s shirt, but his sprite during his victory animation shows a yellow "V" on his shirt instead. This was likely an intentional design choice to make Donkey Kong Jr.'s sprite entirely symmetrical. This means only half of the sprite is required to be stored in the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]]'s limited graphics memory as tiles of 8x8 pixels each, with the same tiles being flipped to display the other half of the sprite. During gameplay, the letter on Donkey Kong Jr.'s shirt is obscured by his kart's steering wheel.
 
In the next title of the series, ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'' onward, Donkey Kong Jr. was replaced by the modern Donkey Kong since ''Donkey Kong Country''.

Donkey Kong Jr. makes a cameo in the background audience of [[Waluigi Stadium (GCN)|Waluigi Stadium]] in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''. Interestingly, as the image for the audience is repeated, multiple, countless versions of him can be seen at one time. In this game, his head is redesigned to be more reminiscent of the modern Donkey Kong.
 
He was planned to appear in the game as a playable character, but was ultimately [[List of Mario Kart: Double Dash!! pre-release and unused content#Unused data|replaced]] with [[Diddy Kong]].<ref>TCRF. [[tcrf:Proto:Mario Kart: Double Dash!!/Multi-Game Demo Disc Demo/Unused Scenes#record_entry.arc|Proto:Mario Kart: Double Dash!!/Multi-Game Demo Disc Demo/Unused Scenes § record_entry.arc]].

A 2D sprite variant of Donkey Kong Jr. debuts in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' as a playable character in his 16-bit ''Super Mario Kart'' appearance under the name '''Donkey Kong Jr. (SNES)''', debuting in the [[Super Mario Kart Tour]]. His special item is the [[Triple Bananas]]. This is the first game since ''Super Mario Kart'' to feature Donkey Kong Jr. as a playable character in the ''Mario Kart'' series. As the game treats Donkey Kong Jr. (SNES) as a variant in his name, this also makes him the only character in the game without a base driver.

==Trivia==
*During development of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', Donkey Kong Jr. was originally slated to appear with a redesign. [[Nintendo]] did not like the redesigning of the character, and ordered the game's developer, [[Rare Ltd.|Rare]], to either retain the character's original appearance or to make the redesign into a new character.<ref>As revealed in ''Retro Gamer'' magazine.</ref> [[Diddy Kong]] was created as a new character to fulfill the role.
*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.
