Okay, after searching a little more, I see that at least one game suggests that if you ever see Donkey Kong with a tie, that's the Donkey Kong of the Donkey Kong Country games. If you see Donkey Kong without a tie, that's the Donkey Kong that will eventually become Cranky Kong. ("[Donkey Kong's] ancestor, the original Donkey Kong, wore no necktie.")

I think you also have to take into account neither Mario or Donkey Kong's stories or lore is serious, Bowser has destroyed the universe before and is still frenemies with Mario and Peach.

So if they were to put even new DK in a retro inspired game they don't really care.
