In arcade game Donkey Kong Jr., Donkey Kong Jr. must save his dad, Cranky Kong (the original DK), who has been imprisoned in a cage by Mario, who was tired of him constantly kidnapping Pauline. Donkey Kong Jr.'s quest was to swing across vines to find the keys and save his dad. However, Mario sent enemies out to attack DK Jr. The young ape could drop fruit on the enemies to defeat them. At the end of the game, DK Jr. saved his dad from Mario's cage.

Donkey Kong Jr. Got another game of his own called Donkey Kong Jr. Math. In this game there were actually two Donkey Kong Jr's. One was the traditional brown and one was pink.

Donkey Kong Jr. appeared as a playable character in Super Mario Kart. He is a heavyweight and as such has similar attributes to Bowser. His weapon of choice is the Banana, which he would litter the racetracks with. (His adult form would appear in Mario Kart 64).

Donkey Kong Junior has his own series of educational games for the NES and PC. He occasionally makes appearances in other games such as Donkey Kong '94 and the Game & Watch Gallery series. However, DK Jr. appears to have been replaced by Diddy and Dixie Kong. He has now been reduced to making minor cameos in games like Mario Kart: Double Dash!!. He also makes a cameo in the GBA version of Super Mario Bros. 3. One of the kings is turned into him. Or, at least, a look-alike ape.

Donkey Kong Jr. is playable in Yoshi's Island DS, however with the name Baby Donkey Kong. It is also unknown if the baby is Donkey Kong or Cranky Kong.
