Donkey Kong: Difference between revisions

For a time, Donkey Kong seemed to be largely forgotten in the video game industry aside from ports of the arcade classics to home consoles, with a notable entry being a remake of the original for {{s|nintendowiki|Game Boy}} in 1994 that would later inspire the ''{{iw|mariowiki|Mario Vs. Donkey Kong}}'' series—that is, until Rareware released ''{{s|mariowiki|Donkey Kong Country}}'' for the {{s|nintendowiki|Super Nintendo Entertainment System}}. ''Donkey Kong Country'' saw the debut of a new Donkey Kong alongside a new supporting cast; the new Donkey Kong is more muscular and with more realistic gorilla proportions, and sports a characteristic tuft of hair. His only article of clothing is a red tie with his initials printed on, a detail that was first seen in the Game Boy ''Donkey Kong'' remake. This design was subsequently used in nearly every appearance of Donkey Kong since then. He is joined by characters such as his "little buddy" [[Diddy Kong]] and his grandfather {{s|mariowiki|Cranky Kong}}, the latter of whom is said to be the original Donkey Kong from the ''Donkey Kong'' arcade games, thus establishing the current Donkey Kong as a separate character. This Donkey Kong was originally supposed to be the same one as the arcade games with what eventually became Diddy being Donkey Kong Jr. However, Nintendo intervened by saying the modernized designs were too different from the original and told Rare to either revert them to the classic designs or make them new characters. Rare chose the latter and created Cranky as a way to keep the original in the game. ''Donkey Kong Country'' depicted the current DK's first battle with his arch-enemy [[King K. Rool]], and was such a massive success that it helped the SNES take the lead in the 16-bit console war. Check out [https://rec0ded88.com/play-donkey-kong-country Doney Kong Country]
