'''Donkey Kong Jr.''' ( | '''Donkey Kong Jr.''' (shortened to '''DK Jr.''', '''DKJr.''', or just '''Junior''') is a [[Kong]] character who debuted in ''[[Donkey Kong Jr. (game)|Donkey Kong Jr.]]'' as the titular hero. In the events of the game, he has to rescue his father, [[Donkey Kong]], from [[Mario]]. Donkey Kong Jr. has not made many appearances, but he is a playable character in some spinoff games of the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]]. | ||
While he is occasionally [[Cranky Kong#Identity confusion|identified]] as a younger version of the modern Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr. is most commonly referenced as his father and the son of [[Cranky Kong]].<ref>{{cite|quote=''Super Mario Kart'' is the only ''Mario Kart'' game to feature Donkey Kong Jr. Due to the success of ''Donkey Kong Country'', all future ''Mario Kart'' entries featured Donkey Kong, who is actually Donkey Kong Jr.’s son, with Cranky Kong, aka Donkey Kong Sr., canonically being the character featured in the original ''Donkey Kong'' game.

In ''[[Mario's Tennis]]'', Donkey Kong Jr. is the largest amongst the playable characters, and this is also the only game where he wears shoes and socks. The game's menu lists him as '''Donkey Jr.''' and the scoreboard lists him as just '''Donkey'''. In the [[Nintendo 64]] version of ''[[Mario Tennis (Nintendo 64)|Mario Tennis]]'', Donkey Kong Jr. is classified as a Power character, who can be unlocked by winning the [[Star Cup]] in Doubles.

If a water balloon hits Donkey Kong Jr., he releases the rope and get mad, giving Mario a miss. | ||
He also appears in a scene that plays for ''Donkey Kong Jr.'' if the player selects the game yet doesn't actually start the game. Specifically, Donkey Kong Jr. attempts to jump to get a hanging piece of fruit, to no avail. Mario then jumps to grab it himself, knocking Donkey Kong Jr. out of the way in the process. This results in Donkey Kong emerging, with Mario fleeing as Donkey Kong walks towards him only to crash into something offscreen and then return with Mario trapped in a cage as Donkey Kong Jr. watches. | |||
