It has never been seen with any of the other Kongs, and it has not been confirmed if it is a distinct Kong, a DK Jr. clone, or just an alternate color scheme.

| ::Well, what about all these [[Kong]]s? they have the surname too. And, what do you mean Pink DKJR was not seen with the other Kongs?

| :::If characters have the same surname, one can reasonably assume that they are related to some extent, though the ones in the list (fought as bosses, etc.) are probably not as closely related to the main Kongs as the main Kongs are to each other. As for the pink DK. Jr., we don't know if it has a gender, and it is really nothing more than a palette swap in the multiplayer mode of DK Jr. Math, even if it does appear with DK. Jr. and Cranky. It's in the same situation Luigi was in in ''Mario Bros.'' Unless and until the pink DK Jr. appears in another game distinct from DK Jr. (i.e. not a palette swap as in Mario Tennis), it's not really a character and, by extension, not a member of the Kong family. {{User:Mario4Ever/Sig}} 14:47, 9 April 2011 (EDT)

| ::Yes, but the website's more official. If you load it like [http://web.archive.org/web/20020819225350/www.rareware.com/the_site/rare_games/new_games_digest/dk64_digest/dk64_cl_copy.html this], there's a copyright by Microsoft (Rare's current owners) dated 2010. However, there's no DK content on that page. {{User:Mario4Ever/Sig}} 14:21, 9 April 2011 (EDT)
| |
| :::Why should one be 'more official'? They're both equally as official. If you're a wannabe nephew, you're NOT a nephew. So we should state this originally, and then make a note if Microsoft retconned it. [[User:Tyciol|Tyciol]] 19:23, 15 January 2012 (EST)

| == Merge maybe? ==
| |
| Aside from structure, what's the significant difference between this page and [[Kong]]? Some of the members on this page (specifically the allies) aren't even Kongs. Can the two be merged somehow? And is "Kong Family" an actual term used? {{User:Alex95/sig}} 13:37, April 5, 2019 (EDT)
| |
| :The "Kong Family" is an actual term used in page 26 of both the ''Donkey Kong Country'' and ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' instruction booklets, and page 16 of the ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'' instruction booklet. In the actual game credits, the first uses "The Kongs", the second uses "Kong Klan", and the third uses "Crucial Kongs". Kong Family refers to the main Kong group of family members and close friends, but yeah, two articles isn't necessary.

| |
| :::And "DK crew" is used in the [[DK Rap]]. But, yeah, this can all easily be covered in the [[Kong]] article. {{User:Toadette the Achiever/sig}} 13:50, April 5, 2019 (EDT)

| |
| ::::::Should we go with "Kong Family" or "Kong"? {{User:Alex95/sig}} 14:08, April 5, 2019 (EDT)
| |
| :::::::I'd say go with "Kong" in case we decide to cover Kongs that blatantly aren't part of the Kong family (such as the [[Evil Kings]]). Also, since [[Candy Kong]] is just DK's girlfriend, she isn't officially part of the Kong family yet. {{User:Toadette the Achiever/sig}} 14:13, April 5, 2019 (EDT)
| |
| ::::::::Right, okay. Page can probably be split how it is here, just keeping information [[Kong]] already has and removing information [[Kong Family]] doesn't need. I'll take care of it when I can, though a bit busy right now. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 14:17, April 5, 2019 (EDT)
