I find it bizarre that this wiki currently considers ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' part of the Donkey Kong Country series. It does not bear the name ''Donkey Kong Country'' and plays very differently to every other Donkey Kong Country game with it being a 3D collectathon compared every single other game being 2D linear platformers. The [[Donkey Kong Land (series)|Donkey Kong Land]] are far closer to being Donkey Kong Country games than this is yet those aren’t considered part of the series but this is. Furthermore there is no reference whatsoever to this even being part of the Donkey Kong Country series on this wiki’s page on DK64.

See a few sections above. While it is ''implied'' by a previous proposal these should be split anyway, my aim here is to make it an explicit goal. These are the GBC game and GBA games, for clarification.

''[[Donkey Kong Jungle Beat]]'' has two variations of "[[DK Island Swing]]": an arrangement that plays in [[Dawn Savanna]], the first level of the game; and a shortened variation that plays in the victory fanfare right after Donkey Kong defeats a boss. I was wondering if there's a possibility to add ''Donkey Kong Jungle Beat'', ''[[New Play Control! Donkey Kong Jungle Beat]]'', ''[[Donkey Kong: Jungle Fever]]'', and ''[[Donkey Kong: Banana Kingdom]]'' to the "[[Donkey Kong Country (series)#Other related games|Other related games]]" section from the ''Donkey Kong Country'' series article.

Out of all the games featuring characters and concepts that originated from the DKC series, the exclusion from the related games section that makes the least sense, at least in my opinion, is the [[DK series|''DK'' series]]. The games are both platformers that heavily feature DKC characters, including deep-cut enemies that otherwise only appeared in the mainline DKC series and ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', such as [[Neek]]s, [[Puftup]]s, and [[Click-Clack]]s. Not to mention the clearly DKC-inspired jungle theming and the appearance of [[King K. Rool]] as the main antagonist. Plus, the fact that both games used sound effects ''directly taken from the DKC series'' (especially in the case of ''[[DK: King of Swing|King of Swing]]'', with all the voice clips that were reused) seems a bit weird to not mention on the ''Country'' series article.

So the DK series is considered related to the DKC series, but there's others that could be considered related: Donkey Konga and Barrel Blast. 4/26/2024 EDIT: Ok, Hewer brought up Jungle Beat, so I'm adding that in too. Too all opposition. I'm not saying we should include the whole franchise as related, just the ones brought up 2 sections above this one.
