:I can answer you the question. The Japan-exlusive card game is official. The website where the images are from is still in the Internet Archive ([http://web.archive.org/web/20030407031825/www.nintendo.co.jp/n09/don_card/card/standard/chara/index.html example]), but many images are broken. That card game would actually be worth an article in my opinion, since it is not just about collecting cards, it's an actual trading card ''game''. --[[User:Grandy02|Grandy02]] 13:19, 27 January 2010 (EST)

Hi. I saw you added pictures from a "Donkey Kong Card Game" to the Candy Kong article. We would like to know, where are those pictures from, are they official? - Cobold (talk · contribs) 13:14, 27 January 2010 (EST)

I can answer you the question. The Japan-exlusive card game is official. The website where the images are from is still in the Internet Archive (example), but many images are broken. That card game would actually be worth an article in my opinion, since it is not just about collecting cards, it's an actual trading card game. --Grandy02 13:19, 27 January 2010 (EST)
