Donkey Kong Banana I will add even more chaos to the disturbing schedule of the Donkey Kong Games, which in the last 40 years has been a tangled mess of contradictions and confusion.
But the apparitions of Nintendo about Pauline and her Amazing at her age – he is only 13 years ancient in this game – he plays history Donkey Kong Banana Offer a flash of hope that Switch 2 Exclusive can facilitate neat some things. And this is a great news for freaks who think about the Donkey Kong time axis.
Of course, this is finally Nintendo, a company that has both contorted to explain the divergent schedules of the Franchise of Legend of Zelda, but also loves a paradox in which Mario and adult Mario exist at the same time and a race to each other. The company here is to make fun games and smile at the face, even if it means wrinking for people who are trying to analyze whether Cranky Kong is the father of Donkey Kong, grandfather, or the older version of Donkey Kong.
To understand (or try to understand) the Donkey Kong time axis, we must start at the beginning: 1981 Donkey Kong.
Who is Donkey Kong at all?
The original Nintendo arcade game specifies that Mario (Aka Jumpman) must save Dmsel-in-Distress Pauline (Alias Lady), which was kidnapped by Donkey Kong. It was not established then Why DK wants to secure Pauline – Love? Mario hatred? – Because Arcade Games from the 1980s did not have a space to waste such things as “narrative”.
Later matches would establish events on the Donkey Kong time axis, which took place before the events Donkey Kong. 2006 Yoshi DS island He confirmed the existence of Baby DK, the infant version of Donkey Kong at about the same age as Baby Mario, Baby Luigi and Baby Peach, which would certainly put this game in the distant past. Remember: Mario is canonical (permanently?) About 25 years, which means that playing on the island of Yoshi takes place a decade earlier Donkey Kong. In any case, Baby DK wears a red salivary with the initials of “DK” in yellow, like the adult Kong donkey wears a red tie monogram. (I will also point out here that DK DK and the Donkey Kong are at the same time as established in a baseball match in 2005 Mario Super Sluggers.)
Baby DK relationship with little Mario Bros. and other infants of the Kingdom of Mushrooms is fleeting and presumably returns to its monkey ward after events Yoshi DS island.
Once between events Yoshi DS island AND Donkey KongMario and Donkey Kong Cross Cross Wone Donkey Kong CircusGame & Watch Game from 1984, in which Donkey Kong is forced to appear in captivity, juggling with pineapple (and avoiding a ball of fire) while playing in a barrel. If DK failed in his task, Mario laughed at the butt because of the misery of the monkey.
Donkey Kong Circus It seems that it will provide a proper justification for Donkey Kong to revenge on Mario, namely by kidnapping Pauline and throwing barrels and feeling balls of fire in her would -be rescuer.
Donkey Kong Jr.which presents the concept of Donkey Kong as a father and presents Mario as a huge cock, follows Donkey Kong. The junior must recover his father, who was abducted by Mario holding the beaten after the violence of his predecessor. In games set after the events Donkey Kong Jr.Elder Donkey Kong breaks into Game & Watch Game and Watch Game Greenhouse – And Mario and Stanley escaped, interrupted to teach Junior Basic Arithmetic (see Donkey Kong Jr. Math).
At this point, Donkey Kong breaks down.

Donkey Kong Country for ancient men
After over a decade from the headlights, 1994 Donkey Kong Country determines that he saw the donkey in Donkey Kong And subsequent Arcade and NES games are significantly ancient and are currently known as Cranky Kong. A donkey that occurs and is playable Donkey Kong Country He is the grandson of Cranky Kong (original Donkey Kong) and son of Donkey Kong Jr.
Adding to the confusion that only a few months before Donkey Kong CountryDebut on Super NES, Nintendo has released Donkey KongGame Boy Reimagining of Original Donkey Kong, who extends Mario’s mission to save Pauline in a globetrotting adventure. So two completely separate monkeys known as Donkey Kong get games this year.
Donkey Kong Country He builds the foundation of the long list of Kongs, including the “new” Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Dixie Kong and wrinkles Kong – the deceased wife of Cranky Kong, and therefore grandmother Donkey Kong, who is also a spirit. Later matches in the Donkey Kong franchise, based on the recent canon, founded by the developer Rare, add even more congles, but maintain most of the campaign focused on the island of Kong and the surrounding lands and in the recent Donkey Kong.
Despite the intention of Rare to transform the original Donkey Kong into Cranky Kong and establish a recent identity for Donkey Kong Super Smash Bros. AND Mario vs. Donkey Kong I cannot agree to the entire line Korby-Junior-Donkey Kong. Older games say that the donkey that appeared in the arcaded original is Donkey Kong, who we know and play as today. Some last games such as Super Smash Bros. UltimateHowever, confirm the idea that Cranky Kong is the grandfather of the character of Donkey Kong, but recently Film Super Mario Bros. Explains that Cranky is DK fatherNot grandpa. In some occasional games, Cranky misleads Osike “Son”.
Suffice it to say that the family tree and the Donkey Kong time axis are misleading and you should probably give up the canon established by occasional games in which the original Kong donkey seen in 1981 Donkey Kong There is now a broken Kong.

However! Donkey Kong Banana seems to be held between events Yoshi DS island and the original Donkey KongBased on Pauline’s age. He is only 13 years ancient in Switch 2, much younger than its appearance Donkey Kong and more games like Mario vs. Donkey Kong AND Super Mario Odyssey. Exactly how Nintendo plans to explain that it is not clear, especially since Cranky Kong, Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong from Donkey Kong Country Games after the original Donkey Kong will also appear Banana!
Given the liberal apply by Nintendo during the Shenanigans in the universe of Super Mario and General: “Do you really care about this shit?” Attitude, when it comes to gelding decades of the canon, do not expect a satisfactory answer to how teen Pauline fits into a larger time axis of Donkey Kong. Or why the donkey inside Banana It has been slightly redesigned to match its classic appearance. Regardless of the explanation, it is tempting enough to look Donkey Kong BananaHistory and discovering what is under the deep layers of the game.
