| In ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', [[Bowser]] is looking for the seven [[star children]] and orders [[Kamek]] to kidnap all the babies from the [[Mushroom Kingdom]], including Baby DK. However, Baby DK was not brought to [[Bowser's Castle]], although unlike the other star children, how he escaped capture was left unexplained. He is also unique from the other babies in that the blanket he is carried in is brown, rather than blue. | | [[Image:YIDSbabydk.PNG|thumb|left|150px|Baby DK swinging on a vine.]] |
| | | In ''Yoshi Island DS'', [[Bowser]] was looking for the seven Star Children and orders [[Kamek]] to kidnap all the babies from the [[Mushroom Kingdom]], including Baby Donkey Kong. For unknown reasons Baby DK is left behind before arriving at [[Bowser's Castle]]. |
| [[Yoshi]] and [[Baby Mario]] find Baby DK in [[Baby DK, the Jungle King!]] He later helps in saving [[Baby Peach]] from the [[Ukiki]]s in the same level. After saving her, Baby DK decides to join Yoshi and the babies in their quest to rescue [[Baby Luigi]]. After this level, Baby DK is available to play as for the rest of the game. He has thirteen [[character coin]]s throughout the game. One is found in [[Baby Mario and Baby Peach: Dynamic Duo]], a level in the first world, even though Baby DK is not initially available in the first world, forcing the player to replay the level as Baby DK in order to obtain the coin. | |
| | |
| After a long journey, Yoshi and the babies arrive at Bowser's Castle. When they arrive at the top of the castle, they fight [[Baby Bowser]] and then Bowser. After defeating both of them, [[Baby Luigi]] and the other babies are rescued. Baby DK is revealed to be one of the seven [[star children]].

| |
| Baby DK is an unlockable playable character in ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]''. This is currently his only appearance in a ''Super Mario'' sports game. In [[Mario Super Sluggers#Challenge Mode|Challenge Mode]], Baby DK helps [[Mario]] and the others beat Bowser and his son, [[Bowser Jr.]] In this mode, Baby DK is part of the [[DK Wilds]] team.

|
| Baby DK's bat is a banana. His batting entrance is him rolling into the batter's box. Baby DK has good [[chemistry]] with Yoshi, Baby Mario, Baby Luigi, Baby Peach, [[Baby Daisy]], [[Dixie Kong]], [[Funky Kong]], and [[Tiny Kong]]; his chemistry is neutral with [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]], however; he has bad chemistry with [[King K. Rool]], [[Kritter]]s, [[Shy Guy]], and [[Magikoopa]]. Effectively, he has the most chemistry out of any character in the game behind only Baby Peach. Baby DK's fielding ability is [[Clamber]], meaning he can climb walls to catch a ball, therefore preventing a potential home run from the opposing team. He also has the strongest throwing arm out of all the babies.
| | [[Yoshi]] and [[Baby Mario]] find him, and then the baby ape helps in saving [[Baby Peach]] from the [[Ukiki|ukikis]] and after saving her, Baby DK decides to join Yoshi and the babies. |
|
| |
|
| Baby DK has a very high fielding stat, along with a decent batting stat, but he is bad at running and pitching. Baby DK bats with his left hand, while fielding with his right hand. | | After a long journey they arrived at Bowser's Castle. When they arrived at the top of the castle they fought [[Baby Bowser]] and then Bowser, defeating both of them thus saving [[Baby Luigi]] and the other babies. Baby Donkey Kong is revealed to be one of the seven Star Children. |
|
| |
|
| Baby DK is available in the ''Mario Super Sluggers'' online card collection. He is from the first characters to be released, but is then removed and made available later. In Double Play, Baby DK can be combined with [[Donkey Kong]] to get the level 2 card, '''Donkey Kong Star Swing'''. His rookie year is 2006, which refers to his year of debut.
| | Aside from being the most powerful baby, he has multiple abilities that help the [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]] many times: |
| | *He can climb vines and chains, even hang onto a swinging rope and using the momentum to move forward. |
| | *If the player presses <tt>↓</tt> and then the swallowing button (either <tt>Y</tt> or <tt>B</tt> depending on control settings), DK can do a shoulder charge that can break through dirt walls, some enemies, and tough blocks. |
| | *Eggs thrown by Yoshi have an explosive effect – it is possible to defeat more than one enemy and activate ? Clouds, defeat enemies, or grab items just out of reach by a wall by the mini-blast. |
| | *When a Yoshi [[Ground Pound|ground pounds]] on poles, the pole goes all the way down on the first try, relating to DK's power. |

| ==General information== | | ===''Mario Baseball'' series=== |
| ===Physical appearance=== | | ====''Mario Super Sluggers''==== |
| Baby DK is a brown [[Kong]]. He wears a monogrammed red bib, with his yellow-printed initials "DK" in the center. The bib goes around his neck, is knotted in the back, and is even yellow-bordered. This bib is similar to adult Donkey Kong's tie. Baby DK also has brown eyes with small black pupils. On his head, he has a small piece of fur sticking up in a wavy formation. This is also similar to Donkey Kong's hair. He also has one big ear on each side of his head. He has a big mouth, with two small nostrils north of it. Like a typical primate, his hands, feet, ears, and mouth are all peach. Baby DK also has five fingers on each hand and five toes on each foot. Like [[Baby Mario]], [[Baby Luigi]], and [[Baby Peach]], his appearance in ''Yoshi's Island DS'' changes in future games. Baby DK's change is very minor. The only change for him is that he has a small, furry tail. | | Baby Donkey Kong is playable in ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]'' for the [[Wii]] console. This is his first appearance in a Mario sports game. He is an unlockable sub-character. In challenge mode he helps Mario and the others beat Bowser and his son Bowser Jr. His bat is a banana. |

|
| ===Personality===
| | His bat consists of a yellow banana. Baby DK's batting entrance includes him rolling. He has good chemistry with Yoshi, Baby Mario, Baby Luigi, Baby Peach, Baby Daisy, Dixie Kong, Funky Kong and Tiny Kong; he has bad chemistry with [[King K. Rool]] and [[Kritter]]. His fielding ability is Clamber, meaning he can climb walls to catch the ball. He is good at fielding and batting, but is bad at running and pitching. His default bat position is right, while the glove position is left. |
| Much like his older self, Baby DK is very strong and powerful and enjoys bananas. He is also very sensitive, since he is a baby. However, his cry is much softer than the other babies, indicating that he is also tough and somewhat resilient. He is usually found smiling and happy. He is also somewhat cocky, as in ''Mario Super Sluggers'', when he hits a home run he shows off by jumping around the bases and doing a flip into home plate.

| [[File:DKDashAttack.png|thumb|The [[DK Dash Attack]]]]
| |
| Baby DK is the most powerful out of all the babies. He is capable of bashing large clumps of rocks in ''Yoshi's Island DS''. This maneuver is called the [[DK Dash Attack]]. While on Yoshi's back, he can grab on to vines and help Yoshi climb up them. There is also swinging vines that Baby DK can grab that swings Yoshi. His eggs explode on contact with all walls, collecting or destroying anything in the blast radius. Though he is the most powerful, Baby DK is also the heaviest baby. While Yoshi runs with him on his back, they move much slower. In ''Mario Super Sluggers'', he is the best batter out of all the babies, as his batting ratings are a 6 out of 10. He is also the best fielder out of all the babies, as his fielding ratings stay at an 8 out of 10. Along with the [[Kong]]s, his fielding specialty is the Clamber, which allows him to climb up a wall in order to prevent a possible home run. | |

| ==Trivia== | | == Trivia == |
| *According to the ''Yoshi's Island DS'' instruction booklet, Baby DK is the only baby with more than one special ability. This is not true, as Baby Mario has three. | | *[[Baby Kong]], a character from [[Donkey Kong Country (show)|''Donkey Kong Country'''s TV adaption]], is an earlier example of a baby version of Donkey Kong. However, strangely, the Baby Kong character was later retconned into a separate character and was henceforth known as Donkey Kong's nephew. |
| {{Kongs}} | | *Baby DK is the only Baby not to have a blue blanket to travel in, having a brown one instead. |
| {{YIDS}} | | *Baby DK is the only Star Child to have an escape left unexplained. Baby Mario and Baby Peach are rescued, Baby Bowser is kicked out the window, Baby Wario is left behind and Baby Luigi hides while Bowser looks for the star children. |
