What happened to Donkey Kong Jr. ?

[zodaex]

Where is he? I think the last time he was seen was 1995's Mario Tennis on Virtual Boy. How come Donkey Kong is always hanging out with Diddy these days? Did DK Jr. die, perhaps King K. Rool kidnapped him, and is raising him as a reptile? As he wasn't in Mario Kart 64, Smash Brothers, or Mario Party I fear the worst. :disappoin

They renamed him Diddy Kong?

They renamed him Diddy Kong?

Impossible, aside from the obvious weight difference, it says in the Donkey Kong Country manual that Diddy Kong is Donkey's nephew. DK Jr. is Donkey's son.

Donkey Kong is Donkey Kong Jr. Cranky Kong is the original Donkey Kong. Replay the first game please.

Thank you. I was hoping some one would get this right.

DK Jr. was in 2000's Mario Tennis for the N64.

Donkey Kong happened.

The truth is he died and DK adopted Diddy to fill the hole in his life.

If this is the case, than where is old grandpa Mario and Grandma Pauline, from the original Donkey Kong game then?

Dont know, they never showed the mario characters in the DKC world. But if history's ever taught us anything, Grandpa Mario is likely saving Grandma Princess Peach for the ten thousandth consecutive time. Good news for Grandpa Mario though, it will all be over soon.
