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[edit]
Donkey Kong series[edit]
Donkey Kong Jr.[edit]
Donkey Kong Jr.'s premier appearance is in the eponymous Donkey Kong Jr. He is the star of the game and the only playable character. Following the events of the original Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr.'s father, Donkey Kong, has been locked up by Mario. Donkey Kong Jr. must travel through four stages by climbing up vines and navigating other obstacles, as well as avoiding the enemies Mario sends at him to impede his progress, such as Snapjaws and Nitpickers. However, if he drops fruit on the enemies, they are defeated. Once Donkey Kong Jr. reaches the top of each stage, he attempts to insert a key into his father's cage, but appears confused as Mario hauls his father away to the next stage. In the NES version, all characters simply remain idle at the end of each stage before the next one begins.
When Donkey Kong Jr. defeats Mario at last by inserting all of the keys into their keyholes in the Chain Scene, Donkey Kong and Mario both fall, but Donkey Kong Jr. catches his father and then walks off-screen with him as Mario chases them. In the NES version, this scene only has Donkey Kong Jr. catch his father, with the rest of the scene being omitted.
In the original arcade game, he also appears during the transition scene between the Jump Board Scene and Mario's Hideout, where he pursues Mario's chopper by floating with a parasol.
In the Game & Watch version of Donkey Kong Jr., Donkey Kong Jr. appears as the playable character. He must dodge birds and Snapjaws and grab a key swinging from a tree to unlock his father's cage.
Donkey Kong II[edit]
In Donkey Kong II, Donkey Kong Jr. appears in the same capacity as the previous Game & Watch title. In this game, he must dodge Snapjaw, Sparks, and birds and use keys to open the locks on his father's restraints.
Donkey Kong Jr. Math[edit]
Donkey Kong Jr. makes another playable appearance in Donkey Kong Jr. Math. In Calculate A and B, his father stands at the top of the stage, holding a sign with a random number placed on it. Donkey Kong Jr. must climb among multiple vines to gather the correct numbers and mathematical signs to create the number on his father's sign. In +-×÷ Exercise, Donkey Kong Jr. has to solve equations by climbing multiple chains to input the digits of the answer. In the instruction booklet, he is dubbed Junior (I).[2]
This game also features a pink-colored palette swap of Donkey Kong Jr. named Junior (II),[2] 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)[edit]
In Donkey Kong on the Game Boy, Donkey Kong Jr. teams up with his father to kidnap Pauline, and Mario must defeat both of them before rescuing her. For most of the game, Donkey Kong Jr. usually stays in areas inaccessible by Mario, activating and deactivating switches in ways that can either help or harm Mario. Sometimes, Donkey Kong Jr. appears out in the open and throws Poison Mushrooms. It is shown in Stage 4-11 and Stage 8-9 that Donkey Kong Jr. can cause Mario to lose a life if Mario touches him. In Stage 9-4, Donkey Kong Jr. gets locked in a cage by Mario in a fashion similar to the Vine Scene of the original Donkey Kong Jr. In the ending, Donkey Kong Jr. manages to free himself and lays in wait as Pauline gives Mario a Super Mushroom to catch Donkey Kong, and acts as soon as his father calls for help. In the end, the group take a photo together.
Saturday Supercade[edit]
Donkey Kong Jr., voiced by Frank Welker, is featured as the main protagonist of the cartoon short Donkey Kong Junior from the animated series 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[edit]
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[edit]
Super Mario Kart[edit]
Donkey Kong Jr. appears as 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!![edit]
Donkey Kong Jr. makes a cameo in the background audience of Waluigi Stadium in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!. Interestingly, as the image for the audience is repeated, multiple, countless versions of him can be seen at one time. In this game, his head is redesigned to be 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,[3] following the latter character's frequent entry into spinoff games of the Super Mario franchise since Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour.
Mario Kart Tour[edit]
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.
Super Mario-kun[edit]
Donkey Kong Jr. appears as a participating racer and an opponent to Mario in the Super Mario Kart adaption in one of the volumes of Super Mario-kun.
Super Mario series[edit]
Super Mario All-Stars / Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3[edit]
In the Super Mario Bros. 3 remake in Super Mario All-Stars, the king of Big Island is transformed into Donkey Kong Jr. This change is retained in Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3.

Mario's Tennis[edit]

Mario Tennis[edit]
In the Nintendo 64 version of Mario Tennis, Donkey Kong Jr. (who is referred to as DK Jr. on the player select screen) is classified as a Power character, who can be unlocked by winning the Star Cup in Doubles.

In Mario Clash, Donkey Kong Jr. appears alongside Donkey Kong, and the two congratulate the player for scoring over 800,000 points.
Game & Watch Gallery series[edit]
Donkey Kong Jr. is a recurring character in the Game & Watch Gallery series, often having to be rescued.
Game & Watch Gallery[edit]
In Game & Watch Gallery, Donkey Kong Jr. appears in the Modern versions of three games: Manhole, Fire, and Oil Panic. In Manhole, Donkey Kong Jr. is one of the pedestrians whom Yoshi must keep from falling into the water. In Fire, Donkey Kong Jr. is one of the characters whom the Mario Bros. must rescue from a fire at Princess Peach's Castle. If the Mario Bros. do not catch Donkey Kong Jr., he runs away with a sore bottom, earning the player a miss. In Oil Panic, Donkey Kong Jr. fiddles with a stick while sitting on the ground on the left side of the castle from the top of which Bowser dumps oil. If any oil is spilled on Donkey Kong Jr., he gets mad, earning the player a miss.

In Game & Watch Gallery 4, Donkey Kong Jr. reprises his roles in Fire and Donkey Kong Jr. He also appears as one of the characters that Mario must protect from Bowser's water balloons in Rain Shower, hanging from the rope beside the swing on the lower left. If a water balloon hits Donkey Kong Jr., he releases the rope and gets mad, giving Mario a miss.
Donkey Kong Jr. also appears in a scene that plays for Donkey Kong Jr. if the player selects the game yet does not actually start it. Specifically, Donkey Kong Jr. attempts to jump to get a hanging piece of fruit, to no avail. Mario then jumps to grab it himself, knocking Donkey Kong Jr. out of the way in the process. This results in Donkey Kong emerging, with Mario fleeing and crashing into something offscreen, after which Donkey Kong walks towards him and then returns with him trapped in a cage as Donkey Kong Jr. watches.
Super Smash Bros. series[edit]
Donkey Kong Jr. has made a few cameo appearances in the Super Smash Bros. series. In Super Smash Bros. Melee, there is a trophy of Donkey Kong Jr. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, there are two stickers of Donkey Kong Jr.: one shows him holding a key over his head, and it raises launch resistance by twenty-one in The Subspace Emissary, while Donkey Kong Jr.'s other sticker shows him holding a tennis racket from Mario Tennis.

Trivia[edit]
- During development of Donkey Kong Country, Donkey Kong Jr. was originally slated to appear with a redesign. Nintendo did not like the redesigning of the character, and ordered the game's developer, Rare, to either retain the character's original appearance or to make the redesign into a new character.[8] Diddy Kong was created as a new character to fulfill the role.
- Oddly, several games in which Donkey Kong Jr. appears contain doppelgängers. Examples of such games include the Game & Watch Gallery series (which seems to depict Donkey Kong Jr. as a species rather than an individual character), Donkey Kong Jr. Math (which includes a second Donkey Kong Jr. colored pink), and Mario Kart: Double Dash!! (which includes many Donkey Kong Jr. lookalikes as audience members in Waluigi Stadium). An early design for the Helper Monkeys in Donkey Kong Jungle Beat also resembled multiple Donkey Kong Jrs. (particularly his prototypical Double Dash!! model), but without his shirt.
