Talk:Donkey Kong Island

I've always wondered, are the Dk Isles and also all other locations the kongs have ventured to (Crocodile Isle, Timber Island, etc.) apart of the Marioverse or just connected to it like Earth (and supposedly other worlds, which would explain Link and the Pikmin's appearance(s) in Mario games). -- Sir Grodus

Well, I believe it is a part of the Marioverse, the general universe of Mario and the gang. However, whether it is a part of the Mushroom World, that's a different question. It would make sense that DK could easily travel between the DK Isles and the Mushroom Kingdom, and as such both would be part of the same world. Locations in the DK Isles also appear in Mario games, such as Mario Party 7 (DK and the Mario Party players battle in the jungles around DK's house). Klaptraps and Kritters have also appeared in Mario games as regular old baddies, not special cameo characters. Diddy Kong has also appeared in the roster of regular old playable Mario characters. That leads me to believe that the DK Isles are a part of the Mushroom World. Regarless, DK is a part of the Marioverse, as the DK franchise is where Mario emerged from. -- Son of Suns

Name

I think perhaps the name of this article should be changed to "Donkey Kong Island", as I think it is generally more well known by that name. -- Sir Grodus
