'''Donkey Kong Jr.''' (also known as '''Donkey Kong Junior''', '''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. has also referenced to be 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. Makes sense, right?|title=''Playing With Super Power: Nintendo Super NES Classics eGuide'', ''Super Mario Kart'' 16 Bits Tab}}</ref>
'''Donkey Kong Jr.''' (sometimes referred to as '''DK Jr.''' or just '''Junior''') is the son of the original [[Cranky Kong|Donkey Kong]]. He first debuted in ''[[Donkey Kong Jr. (game)|Donkey Kong Jr.]]'', an arcade game first released in 1982. He has yet to make any playable appearances since ''[[Mario Tennis]]''. While Donkey Kong Jr. has been absent in the series for quite a while, his son is the current [[Donkey Kong]].
 
[[Diddy Kong]] of the ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' series was first intended to be a redesign of Donkey Kong Jr., but Nintendo didn't like the extreme changes [[Rare, Ltd.]] was making to the character, and ordered that the ''Donkey Kong Country'' sidekick be made into a completely new character.<ref>As revealed in ''Retro Gamer'' magazine.</ref>

Donkey Kong Jr.'s premier appearance is in the eponymous ''[[Donkey Kong Jr. (game)|Donkey Kong Jr.]]'' He is the star of the game and the only playable character. It follows the events of the original ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'', where Donkey Kong Jr.'s father, [[Cranky Kong|Donkey Kong]] has now been locked up by [[Mario]]. Donkey Kong Jr. must travel through four stages, climbing vines to ascend them and then watching as Mario hauls his father further on through the game.

Donkey Kong Jr. stars as the titular character of [[Donkey Kong Jr. (game)|his own game]]. Since his father, [[Donkey Kong]], has been locked up by [[Mario]], Donkey Kong Jr.'s goal is to retrieve the key and free his father.<ref>{{cite|quote='''Junior's purpose:''' To steal the key from Mario and free his Papa.|date=1985|url=www.nintendo.co.jp/clv/manuals/en/pdf/CLV-P-NAAFE.pdf|page=5|format=pdf|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en|title=''Donkey Kong Jr.'' instruction booklet}}</ref> There are four stages for Donkey Kong Jr. to go through, each having their own obstacles and enemies.

Donkey Kong Jr. is also playable in the ''[[Donkey Kong Jr. (Game & Watch)|Game & Watch version]], where his goal is to dodge birds and [[Snapjaw]]s and grab a key swinging from a tree to unlock his father's cage.
There are numerous enemies that Donkey Kong Jr. must avoid. However, if he drops fruit on the enemies, they will be defeated. Once Donkey Kong Jr. has put a key into the cage, Mario will move further on. When Donkey Kong Jr. beats Mario at last in [[Stage 4]], Donkey Kong and Mario both fall; Donkey Kong Jr. catches his father and then walks off-screen with his newly-freed papa.


====''Donkey Kong II''====
====''Donkey Kong Jr. Math====
Donkey Kong Jr. appears in the same capacity as the previous Game & Watch title in ''[[Donkey Kong II]]''. His goal is to dodge Snapjaws, Sparks, and birds and use keys to open the locks on his father's restraints.
One year later, Donkey Kong Jr. made another playable appearance in the game ''[[Donkey Kong Jr. Math]]''. His father stood at the top of the stage, holding a sign with a random number placed on it. Donkey Kong Jr. had to climb amongst multiple vines to gather the correct numbers and mathematical signs to create the number on his father's sign.


====''Donkey Kong Jr. Math''====
This game also starred a [[Pink Donkey Kong Jr.|pink-colored ape]] that could be playable in a two-player game; however, Donkey Kong Jr. was still brown in color, and could be played as in both one- and two-player modes.
Donkey Kong Jr., dubbed '''Junior (I)''' in the instruction booklet,<ref name=FuzzyMath/> returns again as the starring and playable character of ''[[Donkey Kong Jr. Math]]''. In Calculate A and B, Donkey Kong Jr.'s goal is to climb along multiple vines to retrieve each number and sign needed to create an equation that produces the same number.<ref>{{cite|title=''Donkey Kong Jr. Math'' instruction booklet|page=5|quote=Junior has to try to make the same number appear in his side window by using the numbers 1 ~ 9 and the symbols +-×÷.|date=1985|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en}}</ref> The mode +-×÷ Exercise involves Donkey Kong Jr. having to retrieve the numbers missing from the equation.<ref>{{cite|quote=Place the correct numbers in the squares to finish the problem.|date=1985|title=''Donkey Kong Jr. Math'' instruction booklet|page=8}}</ref>

He and Donkey Kong Jr. compete to calculate Donkey Kong's number until one of them does so five times.


====''Donkey Kong'' (Game Boy)====
====''Donkey Kong'' (Game Boy)====
In the [[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Game Boy version]] of ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'', Donkey Kong Jr. teams up with his father to kidnap [[Pauline]]. Donkey Kong Jr. is usually in locations that Mario cannot reach, activating and deactivating [[switch (Donkey Kong)|switch]]es that either help or do not help Mario. Donkey Kong Jr. sometimes throws [[Poison Mushroom]]s openly. Donkey Kong Jr. can cause Mario to lose a life in [[Stage 4-1]] and [[Stage 8-9]] by touching him. Donkey Kong Jr. is later locked in a cage by Mario in [[Stage 9-4]].<ref>{{cite|author=TamerKoh|url=youtu.be/G6igUMp8ikc?feature=shared&t=8|timestamp=0:08|title=''Donkey Kong'' (GB) Playthrough - World 9-4|date=October 27, 2012|publisher=YouTube|language=en}}</ref> By the ending, it is shown that Donkey Kong Jr. had been freed,<ref>{{cite|timestamp=0:40|url=youtu.be/CTZZwPQpbYg?feature=shared&t=40|title=''Donkey Kong'' (Gameboy) Ending|date=May 12, 2015|publisher=YouTube|author=nintendonerdsvideos|language=en}}</ref> acting soon as his father calls for help.

[[Image:Donkey_Kong_Jr_Gameboy.jpg|thumb|Donkey Kong Jr. pulling a [[lever]].]]
 
In ''[[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Donkey Kong]]'' on the [[Game Boy]], Donkey Kong Jr. aids his father in kidnapping [[Pauline]], and Mario must defeat both of them before rescuing her. For most of the game, Donkey Kong Jr. usually stays in areas inaccessible by Mario, activating and deactivating levers in ways that can either help or harm Mario. Sometimes, Donkey Kong Jr. even appears out in the open and throws Poison Mushrooms. He kills Mario instantly if he touches him. Finally, Mario got to stop him for good in Stage 9-4, where he locked him in a cage in a fashion similar to Stage 4 of the original ''Donkey Kong Jr.''. In the ending, Donkey Kong Jr. somehow managed to free himself and lay in wait as Pauline gave Mario a Super Mushroom to catch Donkey Kong, and acted as soon as his father was calling for help, although they presumably buried the hatchet.

Donkey Kong Jr., voiced by [[Frank Welker]], is the main protagonist of ''Donkey Kong Junior'' short of ''[[Saturday Supercade]]''. Here, Donkey Kong Jr., after discovering his father is missing from the circus, decides to track him down with the help of a clumsy biker named [[Bones Bailey]].
 
===''Nintendo Adventure Books''===
Donkey Kong Jr. makes an appearance in the sixth [[Nintendo Adventure Books|Nintendo Adventure Book]], ''[[Doors to Doom]]''; in the book, Mario and [[Luigi]] find themselves in Donkey Kong Jr.'s jungle after entering one of the doorways created by [[Dr. Sporis von Fungenstein]]. Upon seeing Mario and Luigi, Donkey Kong Jr. attacks them, forcing the two to flee. Eventually, after a vine-climbing chase, the Mario Bros. escape Donkey Kong Jr.

====''Super Mario Kart''====
[[File:Donkey Kong JR SMK artwork.jpg|thumb|120px|left||Donkey Kong Jr. in ''Super Mario Kart'']]
Donkey Kong Jr. is a playable character in ''[[Super Mario Kart]]''. He is classified as a heavyweight character alongside [[Bowser]]. His preferred item is the [[Banana]], with which he litters the racecourses as a CPU. His kart has maximum top speeds; however, if he drifts away from the main course, its speed decreases greatly.
 
Official artwork of ''Super Mario Kart'' shows a red "J" on Donkey Kong Jr.'s shirt, but his sprite during his victory animation shows a yellow "V" on his shirt instead. This was likely an intentional design choice to make Donkey Kong Jr.'s sprite entirely symmetrical. This means only half of the sprite is required to be stored in the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]]'s limited graphics memory as tiles of 8x8 pixels each, with the same tiles being flipped to display the other half of the sprite. During gameplay, the letter on Donkey Kong Jr.'s shirt is obscured by his kart's steering wheel.
 
In the next title of the series, ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'' onward, Donkey Kong Jr. was replaced by the modern Donkey Kong since ''Donkey Kong Country''.

Donkey Kong Jr., voiced by [[Wikipedia: Frank Welker|Frank Welker]], is featured as the main protagonist of the cartoon short ''Donkey Kong Jr.'' from the animated series ''[[Saturday Supercade]]''. Here, Donkey Kong Jr., after discovering his father is missing from the circus, decides to track him down with the help of a clumsy biker named [[Bones]].
A 2D sprite variant of Donkey Kong Jr. debuts in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' as a playable character in his 16-bit ''Super Mario Kart'' appearance under the name '''Donkey Kong Jr. (SNES)''', debuting in the [[Super Mario Kart Tour]]. His special item is the [[Triple Bananas]]. This is the first game since ''Super Mario Kart'' to feature Donkey Kong Jr. as a playable character in the ''Mario Kart'' series. As the game treats Donkey Kong Jr. (SNES) as a variant in his name, this also makes him the only character in the game without a base driver.

==Trivia==
Donkey Kong Jr. makes a few cameo appearances in the {{iw|nwiki|Punch-Out!! series|''Punch-Out!!'' series}}. In the {{iw|nwiki|Punch-Out!! (arcade)|first game in the ''Punch-Out!!'' series}}, Donkey Kong Jr. can be found watching the fight in the audience along with [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], and [[Donkey Kong]]. In the [[nwiki:Super Punch-Out!! (arcade)|second arcade game]], Donkey Kong Jr. can be found in the audience again, along with Mario, Luigi, and Donkey Kong, this time with a different color scheme.
*Oddly, several games in which Donkey Kong Jr. cameos contain doppelgängers implying that Donkey Kong Jr. may actually be a species rather than a character. Such examples of these games include ''[[Game & Watch Gallery]]'', and ''Donkey Kong Jr. Math'' which includes a [[Pink Donkey Kong Jr.]]. One of the [[Mushroom Kings]] in the 16-bit remake of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' was turned into a creature that looked exactly like DK Jr.
*Inside the game files for ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' reveals that Donkey Kong Jr. was originally meant to be included as a trophy in the game. <ref>Kohler, Chris. [http://tcrf.net/Super_Smash_Bros._Brawl#Unused_Trophies The Cutting Room Floors Wiki: Super Smash Bros. Brawl]; retrieved 6/14/12</ref>


In the [[Family Computer Disk System]] port of ''{{iw|nwiki|Konami's Ping Pong}}'', Smash Ping Pong, Donkey Kong Jr. appears in the audience and replaces Pentarou from ''{{iw|nwiki|Antarctic Adventure}}''.
