In Mario Tennis for the n64, Donkey Kong Jr's alternate outfit depicts his fur as being pink.

should this be added to the video game appearances?

{{User:YoshiDaisyfan1/sig}}

:Yes, definitely!  Add it to the Appearances, but say how the "Pink Donkey Kong Jr." is actually normal Donkey Kong Jr. in that instance. This Pink DK Jr. should also be mentioned on the ''[[Mario Tennis (N64)|Mario Tennis]]'' page, as well as the section in the [[Donkey Kong Jr.|DK Jr.]] article that deals with ''MT64''. - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 18:56, 9 June 2009 (EDT)

I gotta do some research because I have a hunch that the pink coloration is some last-minute mistake, but it's just a hunch on no grounds whatsoever. {{User|Zero777}}

==Merge Pink Donkey Kong Jr. to [[Donkey Kong Jr.]]==
{{Settled TPP}}
{{Proposal outcome|failed|4-12|Do not merge}}
Has the end times finally come?

Anyway, I believe this article should be merged with [[Donkey Kong Jr.]]. Why? Here's some of my reasons:
*This character is unnamed and serves solely as a player 2, similar to Luigi. Unlike Luigi, however, it appears ONLY as player two in more of a game-convenient way and doesn't appear on, say, artwork or anything else.
*Multiple colored versions of characters usually appear as playable characters in many games. Case in point: the Marios in Mario Bros., the Luigis in Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, the playable characters in Mario Golf 64, the playable characters in Smash Bros. etc. This character falls under that scope and doesn't really deserve its own article, and so should be listed as an alt color to the main character rather than receive its own article.

===Support===
#{{User|Baby Luigi}}
#{{User|Mario}} Insignificant unnamed palette swap clones whose only purpose is to serve as player 2 does not a separate character make. It's like the second clone character in the Subspace Emissary getting its own article. Or the additional Mario in Donkey Kong Jr. I don't think this proposal will pass, but I'll make my opinion on it anyway, as much as I love this sacred idol of the Mario series.
#{{User|SmokedChili}} Per proposal. This Pinkie Kong "character" is only called Junior (II) as the manual linked in the comments says, and isn't mentioned anywhere else. He also doesn't get any stand-alone status to really separate him from his player 1 counterpart like the Mario Bros., and is more like those multiple Luigis from Luigi's Mansion 2.
#{{User|LinkTheLefty}} Leaning towards support on this one since as mentioned above the manual does indeed have "Junior (I)" and "Junior (II)" at one point, but refers to him as a single character practically everywhere else.

===Oppose===
#{{User|Toadbrigade5}} I bet 5 dollars I'll be the only one opposing(Like 99% of the time) but Pink Donkey Kong Jr. seems to be a different case. In my opinions, recolors would should have their own pages, but Pink Donkey Kong Jr. seems like more than a recolor. That and there weren't such things as recolors back in those days. But hey, just my two cents.
#{{User|Aokage}} He's listed as a separate character in the manual.
#{{User|3D Player 2004}} per all.
#{{User|Zakor1138}} Per Aokage. I looked up the instruction manual, and he's listed as a separate character called '''Junior (II)'''.
#{{User|Boo4761}} Per Aokage.
#{{User|Madz the Penguin}} After thinking for a few minutes, I'm going to say no. The manual says he (or she) is a different character. The policy says we have to listen to the manual if the game doesn't say anything about it. I'm not going against the policy.
#{{User|SuperYoshiBros}} Per the manual, of course.
#{{User|Time Turner}} Regardless of my opinion on whether or not he deserves an article, the article should not be merged to Donkey Kong Jr.'s, simply because there's no actual affiliation or connection between the two of them besides the palette swap. The pink one isn't something that emerges from DKJr, like the [[Crystal King]] and the Crystal Bits (though honestly I think that could be looked over); it's a clearly-separate entity.
#{{User|Walkazo}} - Per all. Even if he is just a construct, he still appears simultaneously onscreen at the same time as the regular DKJr., so it's not unreasonable to treat him as a separate entity, if nothing else, for the sake of absolute thoroughness and to give any curious searchers something to read. Heck, I still think [[Talk:Luigi#Split_a_SMG_Luigi_into_a_new_article|that extra SMG Luigi should be split]] for the same reasons.
#{{User|Marshal Dan Troop}} Per all they appear at the same time so it can be inferred that they are different characters.
#{{User|Magikrazy}} What they said.
#{{User|Glitchy Bowser Jr.}} Per all.

::Someone dared defy the holy sacrament of MarioWiki. {{User:Mario/sig}} 22:18, 29 November 2014 (EST)

@Toadbrigade and Time Turner: I disagree. To me, Pink Donkey Kong Jr. seems more to be a convienience for a tacked-on feature who isn't advertised on the box. Luigi however, is advertised as Mario's brother directly on the getgo, hence the title, "Mario Bros.". This character, however, doesn't even have a name and has practically zero affiliation with Donkey Kong Jr. anyway other than he competes as a recolor of him, very similar to the Marios from Mario Bros. {{User:Baby Luigi/sig}} 19:29, 29 November 2014 (EST)
:Convenience or not, the pink DK Junior is still a character. Also, you've brought up a good opposing point: he has zero affiliation with the actual DKJ, so why merge them together? However, the Mario Bros. is a good countercounterpoint, since the recolored Marios play the same role as the recolored DKJ... I'll redact my vote for now. {{User:Time Turner/sig}}
::The zero affiliation thing is a result of my poor wording. What I mean by this is that, he's literally like the Mario Bros. clones. If he was lamp-shaded, MAYBE he might deserve his own article, but he's not and he's there without any sort of explanation whatsoever, much like the colored Luigi's from Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon. Do we make pages on the colored Luigi's? No, we don't. Also...this point you made:
*''The pink one isn't something that emerges from DKJr, like the [[Crystal King]] and the Crystal Bits (though honestly I think that could be looked over)'' is actually a good point to KEEP this article the way it is, even though it's supposed to be a counter-point. {{User:Baby Luigi/sig}} 21:08, 29 November 2014 (EST)
:::The point I'm trying to make is that merging it to Donkey Kong Jr. is the wrong mode of operation.

::::::It's not so much the II as it is that there are 2 Juniors in the same section. As I've stated before, the second Junior is shown alongside the other Junior, Nitpicker and "Papa" (Donkey Kong).

==Merge Junior (II) (a.k.a. Pink Donkey Kong Jr.) to ''[[Donkey Kong Jr. Math]]'' retry==
{{Settled TPP}}
{{Proposal outcome|passed|9-1|merge}}
It could be me, but since the reasons ''against'' merging this feel very weak, I feel this article's notoriety and role as a running gag among regular users is preventing this merge. Not to mention, I feel the significant opposes the last proposal had stifled discussion, so I'm attempting another run-through and see how this turns out now.

Here are my rebuttals for the arguments made.

*''Junior (II) is a distinct character because he has appeared alongside Donkey Kong Junior simultaneously.''
The problem is, we have multiple Marios in Mario Bros., multiple characters of one in Super Smash Bros., and multiple Luigis in [[Scarescraper]]. And no, this Donkey Kong Junior appears ''only'' in the mulitplayer mode of the game (if I'm correct), giving further weight to the claim that Junior II is a nameless player 2 duplicate that should be treated as a duplicate and not a distinct character. If he appeared independently in single player, he could be given a separate article, but no, he's tied to a multiplayer mode the same way the Marios are. If this argument is strong, then it would be a case to make separate articles for the Marios in ''Mario Bros.'' and the Luigis in Scarescraper. But it's not, and of course, that would be ridiculous. And while it's true that Junior (II) is indeed given a name, it's not quite the name that makes him a distinct character. Let's see further.

*''Junior (II) is a distinct character because he is named in the instruction booklet.''
*''The instruction manual acknowledges the existence of this second Junior.''

This is the main thrust of the oppose side. This argument has several problems.

The context makes the difference in this case. In this case, the context turns an argument ''against'' the merge into an argument ''for'' the merge. Let me elaborate. First, we have two controllers designated as (I) and (II). These Donkey Kong Jr.s then have corresponding designations (I) for brown and player one, (II) for pink and player 2, which suggests that (II) is merely a duplicate in the same way we have different colored Marios in Mario Bros. and different color Luigis in Scarescraper. And unlike Luigi, from Mario Bros. (the green Mario recolor) though, this Donkey Kong Jr. has no name other than Junior (II), which I said, is more likely a simple generic name, making him a indistinct character. Luigi, on the other hand, is shown alongside Mario in artwork, has a separate name, and is promoted as a separate character. The instruction booklet ''makes no distinction between the two Donkey Kong Jr.s''. It doesn't say "Junior's father gives Junior and Junior (II) some math problems". There is no reference to the second Junior as a separate entity anywhere in the evidence used to oppose the merge, other than Junior (II) is listed alongside Junior (I). Furthermore, it has been stated that the instruction booklet ''has no color'', so Junior (II) had to be used as a "name" so players can distinguish between the two. The multiple Marios have no Mario (I), Mario (II), etc., because those instruction booklets were in color. But even then, they're given identifiers per color (P1, P2, P3, P4). So... how is Junior (II) any different?

The Mario recolors are listed and named as P1, P2, P3, and P4 in the Mario Bros. manual They might as well be called Mario (I), Mario (II), Mario (III, and Mario (IV).  Is that really the distinction you're advocating for when creating this article?

There's a difference between listing and ''acknowledging'' the existence. There is no evidence that Junior (II)'s existence is acknowledged. It says "Junior's father gives Junior some math problems". The controls are listed for Junior. Junior (II) is not mentioned once nor does he have his own name nor does he appear as a distinct and separate entity. I say, "distinct" a lot because that's a key word when it comes to defining separate characters in this case, not merely separate or "acknowledged" in the instruction booklet.

*"''The Super Mario Advance manual clearly states that the Mario's are just colors. The Donkey Kong Jr. Math manual shows the second Junior as a separate individual among its cast of characters.''"

The manual for ''Donkey Kong Jr. Math'' ''clearly'' shows Junior (II) as a recolor as much as the Marios are shown as recolors, backed up by what I argued above.

*"[...]''Also, the manual has no color so the Super Mario Advance argument doesn't work as well in this case."''

That would be a point ''for'' the merge. The lack of color would make the Junior (II) identifier much more important. If they really intended the Pink Donkey Kong Jr. to be a distinct character, surely he would get a more unique name like in Luigi's case?

While the evidence isn't blatant, there is a whole chunk of support and examples to conclude that Junior (II) is a mere player 2 construct in the same way the other three Marios and Luigis are mere multiplayer construct. This Junior (II) does not deserve an article and deserves only as a mere mention in the ''Donkey Kong Jr. Math'' article. The reddish recolor in ''Mario Tennis 64'' can be mentioned in the trivia section.

On a final note, this isn't the same as the second Luigi in ''Super Mario Galaxy'' because this second Luigi is treated as a separate character in a single-player game, not a one-off multiplayer construct. Unlike Junior (II), he has his own dialogue, suggested lampshading, and just actual recognition as a separate character. It's borderline red herring. I'd still oppose the merge simply because of the facetious lampshading.

So now I spent some breath and brainpower constructing this argument, come at me. I'm ready for the torches and pitchforks.

==Pinky Kong = Stinky Kong==
OK, this isn't funny anymore. This should either be merged, or else other p2 recolor non-characters, like the blue fourth Mario from the GBA ''Mario Bros.'' ports (who is also not notable, aside from inspiring a YouTuber's color choice), the red Bowser in some ''Smash Bros.'' games (who is notable for being a ''Communist''), and everyone else's ''Mario Tennis'' P2 colors. Also Snufit Ball. (Now it can theme name with [[Keronpa Ball]]!) But not pie, because pie is gross. The point is, this isn't funny, and this page has been sometimes used as an example for attempting to make similar stupid splits, instead of as a stupid pointless joke page.

== Question ==

I noticed some missing information here. In the [[#Recreate Pink Donkey Kong Jr. Junior (II)|previous proposal]] by {{User|Bazooka Mario}}, she says that Pink DKJr. is playable in the single-player mode. Despite that being one of the key reasons why this guy got his own article, the information doesn't seem to have been added regardless. I would add the information myself, but I've never played ''Donkey Kong Jr. Math'' and [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QC8CsVszclc the video she linked to in the proposal] isn't quite clear on how the pink gorilla is handled. Does Pink DKJr. show up in both main modes regardless of whether there are two controllers plugged in or not? {{User:Alex95/sig}} 12:17, 27 April 2018 (EDT)
:Also, why has he made it aggressively? This proposal is the reason why i asked that agressive proposals should be cancelled by Admins, and added to the rules, and that agressive proposals are prohibited. --{{User:FanOfYoshi/sig}} 06:15, 26 November 2018 (EST)
::That's just a joke. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 07:26, 26 November 2018 (EST)
:The reasoning was because he's present in single-player mode, not playable. Other gameplay videos I've seen show him to be present even while only player 1 is playing, so I think it's safe to assume he shows up regardless. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 07:54, 26 November 2018 (EST)

So Mr. Antichrist here was the star of this year's April Fools' thing. And if the Main page's talk page is anything to go by, I wasn't the only one who was unfond of it. It seemed to be considered "weak" at best and near-loathed at worst.

Doomhiker: The proposal was semi-serious, I was contesting the split, but changed my mind after realizing that, yeah, this character is a dupe that appears ''regardless'' of the mode the player is using. I used the arguments of the colored Luigis from Luigi's Mansion and colored Marios from Mario Bros. GBA, but they don't appear in the single player mode, whereas Junior II is still there and reacts and shit. That people agree with me, even jokingly adding more reasons beyond it, is that, I specified that the proposal is serious but the language is my own flavor. {{User:Bazooka Mario/sig}} 00:06, April 12, 2019 (EDT)

why the hell is this even a page? Yes, it's funny, but it's literally a color swap of DKJR. Even if he is mentioned in the manual, that means nothing. He's only playable in singleplayer because they didn't bother GIVING this game singleplayer. {{unsigned|97.83.0.167}}

== Mayyyybe this page should be removed / Merged with DK Jr. ==

I've noticed there's been quite the discourse concerning this beloved pink ape. I've decided to make an account so I could give my two cents on the issue:

As much as we all love Pink Donkey Kong Jr., myself included, I honestly think he probably shouldn't be considered a character in his own right. The main defense I've seen is that he appears in the "single-player mode". However, "Challenge A" and "Challenge B" are not true single-player modes, since the goal of the game mode is to try to get more correct answers than the other player. Even if there is nobody controlling Junior (II), the game still behaves as if it were in a two-player competitive environment, similarly to what happens in other NES games when you pick two-player with only one player. In fact, in the only game mode that is truly singleplayer, "+-×÷ Challenge", Junior (II) doesn't even make an appearance.

I've also seen it mentioned that the manual explicitly labels "Junior (I)" and "Junior (II)" as separate under "Characters". However, Junior (II) is not mentioned anywhere beyond this point, with only "Junior" being name-dropped, suggesting that the number distinction between both of them is simply so that the player can tell both "Juniors" apart. For another example, in [https://www.gamesdatabase.org/Media/SYSTEM/Nintendo_NES/manual/Formated/Balloon_Fight_-_1986_-_Nintendo.pdf Balloon Fight's manual], it refers to Balloon Fighters "Player 1" and "Player 2" as separate "Characters". And yet, I don't see anyone clamoring to make a Nintendo Wiki page about the blue Balloon Fighter called "Player 2".

Anyway, those are my two cents, one for each paragraph. Hopefully you can see why Junior (II) doesn't live up to the hype for me. -- [[User:DrippingYellow|DrippingYellow]] ([[User talk:DrippingYellow|talk]]) 15:39, July 4, 2023 (EDT)

== De-recreate Junior (II) "agresivelly" ==
{{Settled TPP}}
{{Proposal outcome|passed|16-1|De-recreate}}
I wasn't familiar with the rules of making a proposal back when I made the post above. Since nobody has replied to it yet, I've decided now to make a proposal myself: merge Junior (II) with [[Donkey Kong Jr.]]. My reasons have already been stated, but to repeat them:

# Junior (II) was originally split due to making an appearance in the "singleplayer mode" of the game. However, he only appears in "Challenge A" and "Challenge B", which, although officially referred to as "one or two player modes", are effectively two-player: the game is constantly checking for Player 2's input during gameplay, and the gameplay loop revolves around the two players competing for score. Similar behavior is also seen other first-party NES games when selecting two-player mode when there is only one player (e.g. Ice Climber and [[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]).
# In the only game mode where singleplayer is forced, "+-*÷ Exercise", the second Junior is nowhere to be seen.
# It has been stated that Junior (II) is listed as a "separate character" from the original DK Jr. in the manual. However, at no other point in the manual does it mention this second Junior, or even refer to "the Juniors" in plural. The manual only refers to "Junior" in the control instructions, implying that ''both characters are Donkey Kong Jr''. Additionally, there is another instance in the [https://www.nintendo.co.jp/clv/manuals/en/pdf/CLV-P-NAARE.pdf Balloon Fight manual] where both player characters are listed under "Characters", using similar generic names.

===Merge===
#{{user|DrippingYellow}} - Per proposal.
#{{User|Somethingone}} Thank you so much for making this proposal. No reason to keep a pallets swap as a separate page if we've merged even more significant things, like the [[Mario Party Advance]] characters or [[Metal Mario]].
#{{User|Mario}} [[File:Luigi Crying - Super Mario Sticker.gif|120px]]

#{{User|Doc von Schmeltwick}} - Destructinate the Stinky Kong. Or bring back Snufit Ball. Or both.
#{{User|FanOfYoshi}} FUCK THIS GUY WITH EVERYTHING THAT CAN FUCK! *ahem* Although hating on him is a bit too harsh (and even if it's a joke, it isn't even that funny to begin with), i don't think there's enough differentiation to warrant a separate article for him. (oh, and if we're gonna merge this page, ya might as well recreate Snufit Ball)
#{{User|Tails777}} Rip Mario's hard work of re-establishing this legendary figure. But per proposal.
#{{User|7feetunder}} Per proposal. This has-been's 15 minutes are up. TEAM PIRATE GOOMBA FOR LIFE.
#{{User|Camwoodstock}} [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGLu_EGB7dY Goodbye... Pink Donkey Kong Jr....] (Per all.)
#{{User|Arend}} Yeah... we never had (or needed) an article for Green Mario, Blue Mario and Yellow Mario from the [[Mario Bros. (Game Boy Advance)|GBA version of ''Mario Bros.'']] either, which is essentially the same thing as Pink Donkey Kong Jr: a palette swap to represent Player 2 (as well as 3 and 4 n the Marios' case). Same goes for the Luigis in the ScareScraper modes in ''Luigi's Mansion 2'' and ''3'', or any of the palette swaps in ''Mario Golf'', ''Mario Tennis'' (which didn't even have a pink palette swap for DK Jr), or any of the ''Super Smash Bros.'' entries. Why should Pink Donkey Kong Jr. get the special treatment?
#{{User|Killer Moth}} Rest in peace
#{{User|Pseudo}} Truly a shame to see it go.
#{{User|TheFlameChomp}} Unfortunately, yes, I agree. Per proposal.
#{{User|TheUndescribableGhost}} I always thought it was weird how this guy got his own page. I even once brought this up on Discord and I got some sort of excuse stating he's actually a character. But until he reappears in a new game, this was a throw-away palette swap that was created for the sake of multiplayer. Even the name is just telling us he's a Mary Sue.

===Do not merge===
#{{User|Super Mario Bros.}} &mdash; I must stand against this injustice to Pink Donkey Kong, Jr., to whom I shall refer by his government name Junior (II). If Nintendo recognizes the game mode in question officially as a single-player mode, then it suffices for us to follow suit. On this basis, I refute the first two arguments that DrippingYellow brought forth so eloquently. Although I must concede that Junior (II) is not described as a "separate character," this is a mere matter of verbiage; the point is that there is a reference ''specifically'' to him in the manual. On these grounds, I offer that this article should remain separate. Long live Junior (II).

If we have any specific requests, when we archive this for BJAODN (seeing as we're practically guaranteed to send this there seeing as it's the basis for a whole April Fool's prank ''also'' in there, we should probably give it its own full page, rather than merging it as part of the Characters page.

I presume Link having pink hair instead of blonde has something to do with color limitations in the palette regarding early SNES titles, as ''[[Super Mario World]]'' also has some enemies with weird colorations.<br>Keeping Pink DK Jr split is more comparable to hypothetically splitting the green, blue and yellow Marios from [[Mario Bros.
