Debut: ''Donkey Kong Jr.'' }}
 
Junior is a mystery. He first appeared when Mario flew off the handle and locked up his father, the original Donkey Kong, rescuing DK and apparently setting Mario back on the straight-and-narrow. He popped up a handful of times after that, most notably in a [[Mario Kart|kart race]] and [[Mario Tennis|tennis tournament]], and then just fell off the map. If the story that Cranky Kong was the original DK is true, then Donkey Kong Jr. could be the modern DK's father--orfather—or even DK himself (except that they both appear in ''[[Mario Tennis]]''...<ref>And so do Mario and Baby Mario. [[MST3K Mantra|Don't look too deep into this]]. DK Jr. was in because, at the time, Nintendo wasn't sure they could use Diddy, as he was owned by Rare.</ref>).

* [[Brains and Brawn]]: Brains to Kiddy Kong's brawn.
* [[Distaff Counterpart]]: To Diddy.
* [[Dream Team]]/[[Took a Level In Badass]]: From a gameplay perspective in DKC 3, Dixie got a lot of Diddy's speed while still retaining her own highly useful 'copter abilities. When paired with Kiddy, himself a slightly faster version of Donkey Kong, you have an optimal adventuring team of strength, speed, and precision, as well as a host of [[Combination Attack|Combination Attacks]]s.
* [[Fragile Speedster]]
* [[Green Eyes]]

Line 256:
Debut: ''[[Donkey Kong Country (video game)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' }}
 
Donkey Kong's girlfriend--alonggirlfriend—along with Swanky, one of the only two Kongs never to be a playable character. Candy provides a variety of services around DK Isle, including running save points and minigames.
 
Tropes associated with Candy:
Line 278:
Debut: ''[[Donkey Kong Country (video game)|Donkey Kong Country]] 2'' }}
 
Cranky Kong's wife and Donkey Kong's mother (grandmother?), Wrinkly used to run the Kong Kollege on Crocodile Isle, where she provided a haven and place of education for good Kremlings--asKremlings—as well as helpful tips for Diddy and Dixie on their quest to rescue Donkey. After the island sank, she retired to the Northern Kremisphere, where she spent her days enjoying her sunset years and caring for the local Banana Birds. Sadly, she died of old age not long after, but that didn't stop her from helping out the Kongs--sheKongs—she's now a ghost, and spends as much time with her family as ever.
 
Tropes associated with Wrinkly:
Line 296:
Debut: ''[[Donkey Kong Country (video game)|Donkey Kong Country]] 2'' }}
 
A flashy show-ape with all kinds of expensive bling, a bad afro, and an unhealthy preoccupation with polyester, Swanky runs a variety of games and sideshows that give the other Kongs a chance to win some beaucoup cash and prizes. Like Candy--hisCandy—his occasional assistant--Swankyassistant—Swanky Kong has never been playable.
 
Tropes associated with Swanky:
Line 347:
* [[Ascended Extra]]: His new abilities in ''DKC3'', along with getting two levels instead of just one.
* [[Fan Nickname]]: Before Barrel Blast, he was believed by fans to be two parrots (Due to there being two of him onscreen at a time) named Squeaks and Flapper, after the two wrong answers players can give to Swanky Kong when asked Quawks' name.
** It had more to do with the fact that "Quawks" in ''DKC2'' was blue, but in ''DKC3'' was purple, as seen in [http://spriters-resource.com/snes/dkc2/sheet/11581 this sprite sheet] -- and—and it has never been confirmed that the blue one ''is'' Quawks.
* [[Palette Swap]]: Of Squawks (see below).
 
Line 417:
=== Stanley the Bugman ===
 
A human bug-exterminator. Stanley fought against Donkey Kong <ref>Footnote:or maybe Cranky Kong, depending on how you interpret the timeline</ref> in ''[[Donkey Kong]] 3'', but the big ape had it coming--DKcoming—DK invaded a greenhouse and got the local bugs all riled up, so Stanley had to go in there and perform some pest control. Stanley originally appeared in the [[Game and Watch]] game ''Greenhouse'' before his brief trip to the NES, and had a handful more G&W appearances afterwards.
 
* [[Cool Gun]]: A spray gun filled with insecticide.
Line 474:
 
=== The Kremlings ===
[[File:280px-Kremling_6888Kremling 6888.jpg|frame]]

Line 482:
* [[Action Bomb]]: Kaboom, Klasp and TNT Knocka.
* [[Airborne Mook]]: Kloak, Kackle, and Kopter.
* [[Ascended Extra|Ascended Extras]]s: Klump and Krusha, two mooks in the first game, were made singular characters in the cartoon.
** The playable Kopter in ''Barrel Blast''.
* [[Bash Brothers]]: Kuff 'n' Klout.
Line 508:
* [[Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal]]: In ''Donkey Kong Country 2'', most of the Kremlings wear pants but not shirts (due to the pirate theme).
* [[Hand Cannon]]: ''Literally'' in the case of Kannons.
* [[Hook Hand|Hook Hands]]s: Krook.
* [[Heavily Armored Mook]]: Koin and Koindozer.
* [[Instant Awesome, Just Add Dragons]]: Dragon Kremling from ''Jungle Climber''.
Line 519:

* [[One-Winged Angel]]: The ''Jungle Climber'' bosses are regular Kritters, powered up by the Crystal Bananas.

* [[Real Men Wear Pink]]: Pink Krunchas and Skiddas.
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: Rockkrocs, Kloaks, Kackles, Dark Klobbers, and Robotic Kitters.
* [[Reptiles Are Abhorrent]]: They're both the main reptiles and the main villains in most of the series, and most of them are evil.
* [[Sssssnaketalk]]: In the GBA remakes.
* [[Top-Heavy Guy]]: Krusha, Kruncha, Kudgel, Klubba, and Krumple. [[Mook|Mooks]]s with this appearance can only be defeated by a jump attack from the heavier Kong (or from Diddy and Dixie teamed up) without a barrel or Animal Buddy.

=== Tiki Tak Tribe ===
[[File:TikiLeaders_729TikiLeaders 729.png|frame]]
 
The villains of ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'', replacing King K. Rool and the Kremling Krew. Led by the giant {{spoiler|Tiki Tong}} and his instrument-shaped lieutenants, they hypnotize the animals of Donkey Kong Island into stealing DK's treasured Banana Hoard, which they use to bolster their forces (the bananas can bring inanimate Tiki masks to life... for some reason).
Line 620:
 
 
== [[Canon Foreigner|Canon Foreigners]]s ==

{{quote|''"I'm just one sneaky, peeping, two-bit step away from becoming an even richer richest ape on Kongo Bongo Island - and that's rich."''}}
Line 642:
* [[Expy]]: Of Kannon from ''Donkey Kong Country 2'', with a bit of Kaptain K. Rool.
