Rare is a british developer I'm pretty sure.

Then that's why. Damn, I'm so out of it. That, and I've been tired all day. I need some sleep, or a bullet to the face.

Donkey Kong is a Japanese creation of course but all the Donkey Kong Country games were made by Rare, a British studio.
EDIT: Damn you Peanut!

Here's a question that's plagued me.

Is the current Donkey Kong the grandson of the original Donkey Kong or just Donkey Kong Jr all grown up?

I know Kranky Kong is the original Donkey Kong (just old) but I don't know if the current Donkey Kong is his son or grandson (one site tells me one, another site tells me the other).

*Mecha Cow* · 02-21-2005, 04:08 PM

I'm not sure if that's ever officially been cleared up, actually.

Shadow Leonardo · 02-21-2005, 04:36 PM

Um I don't think Cranky is the original Dk cuz then Mario would be old.

No, he is the original Donkey Kong. At the beginning of Donkey Kong Country he's standing on top of the old fashioned red-girder set up playing a record player when the new Donkey Kong shows up with a boombox.

He also references the original Donkey Kong game and his adventure often. I think in Donkey Kong 64, when you find the Donkey Kong arcade game, he says something to the effect of "Here's one of my old games". Etc. Etc. He's the original Donkey Kong.

In regards to Mario being "old", it doesn't work that way. In the crossover games like Mario Party, Mario Golf, Mario Tennis, Smash Bros, etc, there is not rhyme to reason or continuity. Hence how Baby Mario, Metal Mario, and Super Mario can appear, all at once, in Mario Golf.

Donkey Country, timeline-wise, takes place a good many years after Mario's adventures. And yeah, Mario should be old by then (but he isn't in any of the games).

Also consider that Cranky is a monkey and Mario is a human. Shorter life-span would mean he ages faster than Mario. And that's only if you want a crazy theory.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 02-21-2005, 10:05 PM

Nintendo kinda admitted it by leaving Cranky in Donkey Konga.

Demented Utrom · 02-22-2005, 12:04 AM

Your right about Rare being a british Devolper.Nintendo had sell it because the United Kindgom was complaining about nintendo overcharging europe.I think Mircosoft bought it if a remember correctly.

He actually appears in the end of DKC2, along with Yoshi and Zelda, as one of the DK coins greatest seekers. And looks young there.

Incorrect Shredder utrom. They sold their stake in Rare because Rare sold their half to Microsoft for a fat ass sum, and Nintendo didn't have a controlling stake, so they sold theirs as well and made a killing on the deal. Rare has since produced crap, and soiled their name.

Demented Utrom · 02-22-2005, 12:28 AM

A British court was sueing nintendo because they controlled the video game market in Europe.

**Barkworm** · 02-22-2005, 01:47 AM

Do you have a link or something to prove that? Because I'm 99% sure that that's complete horsesh*t.

Peanut · 02-22-2005, 06:11 AM

Ignore the troll.

Eh. Then it's a continuity error.

Hell, Link and Samus appear in Super Mario RPG and I'm not about to jump through any hoops to figure out how they got there.

*Sewer Bull* · 02-22-2005, 12:04 PM

OK - "young" I meant "like a middle-aged man". No grey hair or moustache yet, but already not a youngster. This trio (Mario, Yoshi and Zelda) makes a cameo, when Cranky concludes the sum of DK coins gathered by Diddy, as the legendary Nintendo characters. Still, Mario took part in original DK games from 80, so he should be as old as Cranky. Definitely a continuity error.

I think that one of Bear Brothers once mentions "a plumber" and "a little green guy with a sword" in DKC3, but not surely.

Man, I love ranting over the minor flaws of the games published exactly 10 years ago

Best wishes,

Robweiller

Peanut · 02-22-2005, 12:29 PM

There can't be a continuity error because there is no continuity! Why even try to fathom where Nintendo comes up with this stuff?

愛 · 02-22-2005, 12:38 PM

Like I said, I just don't bother. I can only see continuity in some games, like Metroid and stuff.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 02-22-2005, 01:55 PM

Yeah, Mario & DK are eternally doomed to repeat the same canned story over and over til the end of humanity. Wouldn't have it any other way.

It's about the gameplay, not the story......unless it's Super Mario RPG.
