That was the original intention, but Mario proceeded to sell gangbusters and used his enormous capital to colonize DK Island and shift the focal point of business and trade to the Mushroom Kingdom.

Which is fine cuz that's how business works

But they should at least put FEATURING DONKEY KONG FROM THE DONKEY KONG SERIES on the back of the Mario Kart box instead of "play as all your favorite Mario characters, especially the punk losers Mario beat in various other Mario games"

I watched an episode of JAG once but it was like 20 years ago.

If Agent Gibbs debuted in a JAG episode, then yes.

Link isn't a Mario character either

Neither is Splatoon

They should probably just rename Mario Kart into Smash Kart

But then they'd have to throw in a bunch of nartuo characters and shit.

That's actually a decent point but these are presented as guest characters, unlike DK, who has been an out-of-the-box character (or DK Jr) ever since the very first game.

I think what happened is that the modern Donkey Kong series became very separated from the original incarnation.

After Rare split in 2001, modern DK as a whole kinda became homeless and it just got sorta absorbed by the Mario series.

Super Mario Kart came out in 1992.

Donkey Kong has always been part of the extended Mario universe, and Donkey Kong himself had been appearing in Mario spinoffs even before Rare was bought by Microsoft (Mario Kart 64, Mario Party, Mario Golf, Mario Tennis). And Nintendo continued producing modern Donkey Kong games to moderate success, but Retro Studios now makes them and their games are considered to be amazing.

Nope. Simpsons was a small sketch on The Tracy Allman Show. The whole family must be Tracy Allman Show Characters.

Solid point.

Metal Gear isn't the star of Metal Gear Solid.

Zelda isn't the star of The Legend of Zelda

Metroid isn't the star of Metroid

Donkey Kong wasn't even the star of Donkey Kong Country 2 Diddy Kongs Quest or Donkey Kong Country 3 Dixie's Kong Double Trouble.

Wasnt meant to be an insult at least. You both have this weird, irrational compulsion to turn societys most mundane idiosyncrasies that nobody cares about into a thing. The only difference is the subject of your fixation. >_>

Modern Donkey Kong in everything is Donkey Kong the Third. (starting with DKC basically)

Cranky Kong is supposed to be the original Donkey Kong, who is his grandfather. (I believe this was a retcon though)

So was Family Matters, but nobody remembers that Harriet was the elevator operator on Perfect Strangers, hell, they don't even remember Harriet. They remember Erkle.
