DK Jr. is DK's (DK III from DKC) dad.

They appear together in Mario Tennis for N64.

...So do Mario and Baby Mario. Somehow I don't think they were too worried about the canon when choosing characters for that game.

Good point. lol

But it's confirmed that the Original DK from the arcade game is Cranky Kong. Cranky is DK Jr.'s father and DK III's grandfather.

I thought Cranky was Donkey Kong (DKC)'s father? I'm done with this monkey business.

Someone programmed both characters into the game. Seems simple enough to me XD

DK III as in Donkey Kong the Third? who is that? DK is DK Jr, and Cranky is DK Senior, but I never heard of DK the third.

Play the DKC games. Cranky is his Grandpa.

So that means DK from DKC has to be DK the third.

There's a rumor that he's been missing (or killed) since the Great Ape War.

I think you mean Donkey Kong fanfiction. There's no "Great Ape War" in any of the Donkey Kong games.

He had no friends, this Jonah Hex, but he did have two companions: one was death itself... the other, the acrid smell of gunsmoke.

I don't think i've ever had a website change my cursor before. Also that's all fanfiction, like not even remotely hinted at in any donkey kong media.

I feel dumb, I always knew that Cranky was Donkey's grandfather, but it never dawned on me that Donkey Jr. isn't simply Donkey as a child. Maybe Mario really did euthanize him. :o

There's a whole family of these monkeys and they all have different names?
I thought there was only Donkey Kong and his son.
I can't keep up with this.

A lot of them have been around since the SNES and N64. Off the top of my head there's...

Donkey Kong: The one we're most familiar with, he's apparently Donkey the third

Donkey Kong Jr.: He rescued his dad Cranky from Mario

Cranky Kong: Donkey's grandfather

Wrinkly Kong: Cranky's late wife

Candy Kong: Donkey's love interest

Diddy Kong: Donkey's nephew

Dixie Kong: Diddy's girlfriend

Tiny Kong: Dixie's younger sister

Kiddie Kong: Dixie's and Tiny's cousin

Chunky Kong: Kiddie's older brother (I think?)

Then there's Funky, Swanky, and Lanky, but I'm not sure if/how they fit into the family tree

What the crap?!
Why do you know this, and why do most of them sound like they're named after bootleg Disney dwarves?

I know that because Donkey Kong is one of my favorite franchises ever, but I don't quite know the answer to your second question haha

It makes you wonder, did Wrinkly get her name at birth, or was she wrinkly out the womb so her parents went with that adjective? Who names their daughter that anyway? :o
