[edit] 64-bit era

The inclusion of the Donkey Kong Arcade game in DK64 should not be described as an easter egg, as the arcade game must be played to access the final boss.

[edit] Discussion from DKU

See also Stephen Hawking? Huh? ~~Shiri — Talk~~ 07:19, Apr 2, 2005 (UTC)

That was most likely a joke from Donkey Kong Universe, who invented the term "DKU". --Trogga 21:05, 31 May 2005 (UTC)

It's also the only site that believes all Rare cameos exist in the world of Donkey Kong Country, with the arcade games and Mario games being excluded. It's more fancruft than factual information.

Should the information remain in the article? It could be misleading to non-fans of the games. Agent CH 22:36, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Closed deletion listing

This article was listed for deletion on 18 April 2005. The discussion was closed with the result of no consensus. This article will not be deleted. You can view the discussion, which is no longer live: Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion/DKU. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 07:24, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Alphabetization

Ddespie@san.rr.com changed this article to alphabetize in categories under "Kong" instead of "Donkey Kong". I reverted this change and Ddespie@san.rr.com changed it back with no edit summary. Rather than start an edit war, I would like to reach a consensus here. I see no reason to alphabetize under "Kong". If I were looking up Donkey Kong in an index, I would turn to the Ds, not the Ks. This also affects many other Kong articles, such as Diddy Kong. Any comments? --Pagrashtak 22:51, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Donkey Kong TV Tokyo Anime Series

http://web.archive.org/web/20000510124642/www.tv-tokyo.co.jp/anime/donky.html

[edit] Donkey Kong Jungle Beat DK artwork

In the "Sequels and spin-offs" section, next to the description of Donkey Kong Jungle Beat, can I add this picture of Donkey Kong with the caption "Donkey Kong as he appears in Donkey Kong Jungle Beat"? - NES Boy 17:34, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Series or character?

Just curious. This seems to cover the entire series. I also notice that the Donkey Kong template has no series page, unlike Mario Kart or Mario Tennis. So if this is turned into a series page, it should be renamed "Donkey Kong series" and Donkey Kong should get a separate article. Hbdragon88 03:09, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Agreed. I'll split the articles between Donkey Kong the character and Donkey Kong the series.--TBCTaLk?!? 02:24, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reintroduction into the Mario universe

The article currently states that this occurred with Mario Kart 64, which is false. "Donkey Kong Junior", wearing a white shirt (instead of a tie) was in the original Super Mario Kart in 1992. --67.71.37.13 06:54, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Super Mario Kart was before the Rareware games, starting with Donkey Kong Country in 1994.--XD375 20:48, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Probable linkspam.

I saw that a user, 68.111.108.131, has been adding links to a site called "Donkey Kong Megasite" to Donkey Kong articles recently. The same user added the link to this article on February 15th, around the same day that the site was relaunched after being down since November 2004. Either they are really quick, or affiliated. The edits tend to place the site as the first in the links. If it doesn't, they do move it there later. I'm going to remove it from this article, and all the others. A google string search for the string "Donkey Kong Megasite" gets 1270 hits.--Drat (Talk) 13:02, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New games

DK Bongo Blast and Mario VS Donkey Kong 2 : March of the Minis have been announced.--84.190.191.200 17:14, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] What happened?

Why does this article have practically no info on his character and game appearances and tons on his TV appearances and him in pop culture? Did someone remove it?

The info on his game appearances have been moved to Donkey Kong series, similar to what was done with the Mario, Sonic, and and other video game related articles. The info on his character, however, has been kept under the "Overview" section.--TBCTaLk?!? 07:40, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Character?

This "info on his character" seems limited only to be descriptions of his name and info about the Donkey Kong arcade game. I suggest moving some stuff to the article about the arcade game and adding some character info about his more recent appearances, and how he's acted other titles that arent just the arcade.

And if you follow the DKC storyline, the current DK isn't even the original to begin with anyway!-SSY

[edit] Ssbm info?

Why is there no info of him in ssbm(super smash bros melee)? Most of the other characters have one.

[edit] "Seiyuu"?

In Donkey Kong Jungle Beat and onwards, he is voiced by veteran seiyuu Takashi Nagasako. - What's a "seiyuu"? Is it Japanese? Shouldn't that be in English? -- Nick15 09:59, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
