Donkey Kong Jr. (also known as Donkey Kong Junior, DKJr., or just Junior) is a Kong character who debuted in Donkey Kong Jr. as the titular hero. In the events of the game, he has to rescue his father, Donkey Kong, from Mario. Donkey Kong Jr. has not made many appearances, but he is a playable character in some spinoff games of the Super Mario franchise.

While he is occasionally identified as a younger version of the modern Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr. has also referenced to be his father and the son of Cranky Kong.[1]

History

Donkey Kong series

Donkey Kong Jr. stars as the titular character of his own game. Since his father, Donkey Kong, has been locked up by Mario, Donkey Kong Jr.'s goal is to retrieve the key and free his father.[2] There are four stages for Donkey Kong Jr. to go through, each having their own obstacles and enemies. His main ability is climbing vines. In the arcade version only, just before Donkey Kong Jr. can use the key to free Donkey Kong, Mario pushes the latter's cage away.[3] In the arcade version, Donkey Kong Jr. also appears during the transition scene between the Jump Board Scene and Mario's Hideout, floating after Mario's helicopter with a parasol.[4] After Donkey Kong Jr. completes the final stage, the Chain Scene, Donkey Kong and Mario both fall, but Donkey Kong Jr. catches his father;[5] the arcade version also shows Donkey Kong Jr. hopping away with Donkey Kong as Mario chases them.[6]

Donkey Kong Jr. is also playable in the Game & Watch version, where his goal is to dodge birds and Snapjaws and grab a key swinging from a tree to unlock his father's cage.

Donkey Kong II

Donkey Kong Jr. appears in the same capacity as the previous Game & Watch title in Donkey Kong II. His goal is to dodge Snapjaws, Sparks, and birds and use keys to open the locks on his father's restraints.

Donkey Kong Jr. Math

Donkey Kong Jr., dubbed Junior (I) in the instruction booklet,[7] returns again as the starring and playable character of Donkey Kong Jr. Math. In Calculate A and B, Donkey Kong Jr.'s goal is to climb along multiple vines to retrieve each number and sign needed to create an equation that produces the same number.[8] The mode +-×÷ Exercise involves Donkey Kong Jr. having to retrieve the numbers missing from the equation.[9] In the instruction booklet, he is dubbed Junior (I).

Junior (II)

This game also features a pink-colored palette swap of Donkey Kong Jr. named Junior (II),[7] who is playable in a Calculate A and B. He and Donkey Kong Jr. compete to calculate Donkey Kong's number until one of them does so five times.

Donkey Kong (Game Boy)

In the Game Boy version of Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr. teams up with his father to kidnap Pauline. Donkey Kong Jr. is usually in locations that Mario cannot reach, activating and deactivating switches that either help or do not help Mario. Donkey Kong Jr. sometimes throws Poison Mushrooms openly. Donkey Kong Jr. can cause Mario to lose a life in Stage 4-1 and Stage 8-9 by touching him. Donkey Kong Jr. is later locked in a cage by Mario in Stage 9-4.[10] By the ending, it is shown that Donkey Kong Jr. had been freed,[11] acting soon as his father calls for help. A photo of the four characters is shown afterward.[12]

Saturday Supercade

Donkey Kong Jr., voiced by Frank Welker, is the main protagonist of Donkey Kong Junior short of Saturday Supercade. Here, Donkey Kong Jr., after discovering his father is missing from the circus, decides to track him down with the help of a clumsy biker named Bones Bailey.

Nintendo Adventure Books

Donkey Kong Jr. makes an appearance in the sixth Nintendo Adventure Book, Doors to Doom; in the book, Mario and Luigi find themselves in Donkey Kong Jr.'s jungle after entering one of the doorways created by Dr. Sporis von Fungenstein. Upon seeing Mario and Luigi, Donkey Kong Jr. attacks them, forcing the two to flee. Eventually, after a vine-climbing chase, the Mario Bros. escape Donkey Kong Jr.

Mario Kart series

Super Mario Kart

Donkey Kong Jr. in Super Mario Kart

Donkey Kong Jr. is a playable character in Super Mario Kart. He is classified as a heavyweight character alongside Bowser. His preferred item is the Banana, with which he litters the racecourses as a CPU. His kart has maximum top speeds; however, if he drifts away from the main course, its speed decreases greatly.

Official artwork of Super Mario Kart shows a red "J" on Donkey Kong Jr.'s shirt, but his sprite during his victory animation shows a yellow "V" on his shirt instead. This was likely an intentional design choice to make Donkey Kong Jr.'s sprite entirely symmetrical. This means only half of the sprite is required to be stored in the Super Nintendo Entertainment System's limited graphics memory as tiles of 8x8 pixels each, with the same tiles being flipped to display the other half of the sprite. During gameplay, the letter on Donkey Kong Jr.'s shirt is obscured by his kart's steering wheel.

In the next title of the series, Mario Kart 64 onward, Donkey Kong Jr. was replaced by the modern Donkey Kong since Donkey Kong Country.

Mario Kart: Double Dash!!

Donkey Kong Jr. is in the mirrored background audience texture of Waluigi Stadium in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!,[13] His head is more reminiscent of the modern Donkey Kong.

Donkey Kong Jr. was planned to appear in the game as a playable character, but was ultimately replaced with Diddy Kong,[14] following the latter character's frequent entry into spinoff games of the Super Mario franchise since Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour.

Mario Kart Tour

A 2D sprite variant of Donkey Kong Jr. debuts in Mario Kart Tour as a playable character in his 16-bit Super Mario Kart appearance under the name Donkey Kong Jr. (SNES), debuting in the Super Mario Kart Tour. His special item is the Triple Bananas. This is the first game since Super Mario Kart to feature Donkey Kong Jr. as a playable character in the Mario Kart series. As the game treats Donkey Kong Jr. (SNES) as a variant in his name, this also makes him the only character in the game without a base driver.

Donkey Kong Jr. is one of Mario's racing opponents in the Super Mario Kart adaption in one of the volumes of Super Mario-kun.
