Donkey Kong

Donkey Kong games are games about a giant ape named Donkey Kong of course, Made by Shigeru Miyamoto, the same person who makes Mario, and The Legend of Zelda. Donkey Kong survives with two different games which are Donkey Kong and Mario they are not the same games they just involve each other sometimes. The first and original Donkey Kong game introduced Mario so the reason Mario is so famous is because of Donkey Kong. So thank him every time you play a Mario game. Also people ask me why is Cranky Kong even in the Donkey Kong series if he doesn't do like anything. And the answer to that is in all the new donkey Kong games you are Donkey Kong Jr. Cranky Kong is the donkey Kong in the original.
Donkey Kong is the leader of the Kongs. the group consistes of Diddy Kong, Dixie Kong, Funky Kong, Cranky Kong, Wrinkly Kong and Swanky Kong. there are others but  they are inimportant and not REAL members.

And if your wondering hes called Donkey Kong because the creators thought of him as being as stubborn as a donkey.
