'''Donkey Kong Jr.''' (sometimes referred to as '''DK Jr.''' or just '''Junior''') is a [[Kong]] character that debuted in ''[[Donkey Kong Jr. (game)|Donkey Kong Jr.]]'' as the titular hero, who had to save his father, [[Donkey Kong]], from [[Mario]]. While he is occasionally [[Cranky Kong#Identity confusion|identified]] as a younger version of the modern Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr. is currently considered his father, which also makes him the son of [[Cranky Kong]].<ref>"<i>''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?</i>" - ''Playing With Super Power: Nintendo Super NES Classics eGuide'', ''Super Mario Kart'' 16 Bits Tab.</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 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.
 
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 Donkey Kong to a new area. When Donkey Kong Jr. beats Mario at last in [[Stage 4 (Donkey Kong Jr.)|Stage 4]], Donkey Kong and Mario both fall; Donkey Kong Jr. catches his father and then walks off-screen with his newly-freed papa (in the NES version, this scene only has Donkey Kong Jr. catch his father, omitting the rest of the scene due to memory space issues).

In the original arcade game, he also appears during the transition scene for Stage 2 and Stage 3, where he pursues Mario's chopper with a parasol.

====''Donkey Kong Jr. Math''====
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.

This game also starred a [[Junior (II)|pink-colored palette swap]] of Donkey Kong Jr. 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'' (Game Boy)====
[[File:Donkey_Kong_Jr_Gameboy.jpg|thumb|130px|Donkey Kong Jr. pulling a [[Direction Switch|switch]]]]
In ''[[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Donkey Kong]]'' on the [[Game Boy]], Donkey Kong Jr. teams up with his father to kidnap [[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 switches in ways that can either help or harm Mario; nonetheless, it is shown in [[Stage 8-9]] of [[Rocky-Valley]] that the plumber can lose a life when touching Donkey Kong Jr. Sometimes, Donkey Kong Jr. even appears out in the open and throws [[Poison Mushroom]]s. 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. In the end, the group of characters take a photo together.

====''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze''====
[[File:DKJrWiiU.png|thumb|110px|left|An 8-bit-looking Donkey Kong Jr., inside the Wii U GamePad held by DK]]
Donkey Kong Jr. appears as a cameo at the end of the [[Aqueduct Assault]] level in the background in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' inside a [[Wii U#Wii U GamePad|Wii U GamePad]] held high by the original [[Cranky Kong|Donkey Kong]].

===''Saturday Supercade''===
Donkey Kong Jr., voiced by [[Wikipedia:Frank Welker|Frank Welker]], is featured as the main protagonist of the cartoon short ''Donkey Kong Junior'' 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 (character)|Bones]].

===''Nintendo Adventure Books''===
Donkey Kong Jr. makes an appearance in the sixth [[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.

Donkey Kong Jr. appears as 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 would litter the racecourses.

In ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'', Donkey Kong Jr. was replaced by the modern Donkey Kong, who has appeared in almost every ''Mario Kart'' game since; though the former makes a cameo in the background of [[Waluigi Stadium (GCN)|Waluigi Stadium]] in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' In this game, his head is redesigned to be more reminiscent of the modern Donkey Kong. He was planned to appear in the game as a playable character, but he was [[List of Mario Kart: Double Dash!! pre-release and unused content#Unused data|replaced]] with [[Diddy Kong]].

==Trivia==
*Oddly, several games in which Donkey Kong Jr. appears contain doppelgängers. Such examples of these games include the ''[[Game & Watch#Game & Watch Gallery series|Game & Watch Gallery]]'' series of remastered compilations (which seem to depict Donkey Kong Jr. as a species rather than an individual character), ''Donkey Kong Jr. Math'' which includes a [[Junior (II)|second Donkey Kong Jr. recolored pink]], and ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' which includes Donkey Kong Jr.-like audience members at [[Waluigi Stadium (GCN)|Waluigi Stadium]].
*During development of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', [[Diddy Kong]] was originally intended to be a redesign of Donkey Kong Jr., though Nintendo did not like the complete redesigning of the character and ordered the game's developer [[Rare Ltd.|Rare]] that either Donkey Kong Jr. have his original appearance or the redesign be made into a new character, to which Rare decided on the latter.<ref>As revealed in ''Retro Gamer'' magazine.</ref>
*Unused sprites of Donkey Kong Jr. can be found in the coding of ''[[Donkey Kong 3]]'', but he does not appear in the final game.<ref>https://tcrf.net/Donkey_Kong_3_(Arcade)</ref>
