::Yeah, I agree with Lumastar. After all, he's the baby version of Donkey Kong, so I think giving him the full name is good enough. {{User:Bazooka Mario/sig}} 00:27, 21 July 2015 (EDT) | ::Yeah, I agree with Lumastar.

While the above discussion from almost a decade ago raised some understandable points for why this article is called "Baby Donkey Kong", this is inconsistent with how names generally work on this wiki. Neither game that this character appears in refers to him as "Baby Donkey Kong" in-game, and in-game names have higher priority than external names. Yes, "Baby Donkey Kong" ''is'' the full unabbreviated version of the name, but if it were standard practice to prioritize "full names" over more commonly used names, then I think some changes would have to be made regarding our coverage of [[Professor E. Gadd|Elvin]], [[Jimmy T|Mr. Thang]], and [[C. A. F. H. Bro|the Calm Amazing Flying Hammer Brother]]. | |||

Who is this?
Is this the baby form of Cranky Kong or Donkey kong? When Mario was an adult Donkey kong was a baby so it has to be Cranky Kong. But I can't imagine that this ape who was a good friend of mario would kidnap mario's girlfriend oO

A lot of that is just baseless speculation. Heck, we don't even know which it is. But since his name is Baby Donkey Kong, we just state it's the baby version of the current Donkey Kong. Best not to complicate things, because even the article is at war with itself on that question... o_o My Bloody Valentine
Nintendo obviously didn't care too much on this topic. Donkey Kong Jr. is the current Donkey Kong, correct? But if DK Jr. is the current Donkey Kong, there's no way Baby DK should be the current Donkey Kong. Unless DK has two versions of himself, but that would be strange. Therefore Baby DK must be Cranky... Kobble No, Baby DK would be Donkey Kong Junior. Nintendofan146 18:24, 6 July 2008 (EDT)
"DK is the most powerful of the babies" <- an opinion, isn't it?

No, it's basically proven.Nintendofan146 18:25, 6 July 2008 (EDT)
Can I...
Add the Mario Super Sluggers bios and stats, or are they copyrighted or something? Toad08
I definitly think this should be a nominee. what do ya guys think?? Tatlolou
Why is this featured? Koopakid10
Shorten?
As far as I know, he's only ever referred to as "Baby DK" in Yoshi's Island DS and Mario Super Sluggers; I think "Baby Donkey Kong" only comes from a card game, but that's a low-priority source from what I can tell. LinkTheLefty (talk) 12:40, 9 October 2014 (EDT)
- While we could indeed shorten the article's name, it should be clear to most that "DK" stands for Donkey Kong, and the name of this article currently matches the name of the article of his adult counterpart.
