Donkey Kong is the champion hero of the Jungle Kingdom and Cranky’s heir, much like how Mario has become the champion of the Mushroom Kingdom and heir to his family’s plumbing business (alongside Luigi.) And there is pressure from both sides to succeed + live up to expectation.

Yeah and I think it’d make the most sense if Jumpman was Mario and Luigi’s father instead of Mario himself because he probably did some pretty unethical things in his youth like caging up Cranky Kong and training him as a circus animal, separating him from his family…

Cranky (who was then known by his real name, “Donkey Kong” or “Donkey Kong Sr.”) would’ve been captured by Jumpman and trained as a circus animal. He escaped but was recaptured, then DK Jr. found a way to free him. They would both go back home to the Jungle Kingdom after that.

With the logic that the Mushroom Kingdom is a separate dimension from Brooklyn in the movie, much like how it is in Super Show, that could mean Cranky discovered Brooklyn when the modern Donkey Kong / DK Jr. was a just child.

Cranky Kong and Joker (P5) would be an excellent singing duo!

Grumpy Dixie Kong is my spirit animal.
Seriously, those clothes were originally orange because I thought she was in jail for hitting Cranky, then I found out that at that time she was trying to be a singer but without success, so I changed the text and the color of the clothes

Who would win in a game of musical chairs? Giant Chicken,Lapis,Cranky Kong or Ena?

It just makes the most sense… Especially with Donkey Kong Jr. being the younger version of modern Donkey Kong.

It’d also explain the discrepancy in Cranky’s age (although DK’94 doesn’t make this theory any easier 😂)

So with that being said, Cranky is more likely to have fought Mario’s lookalike father in his prime instead of Mario.

Jumpman also went by “Mario,” presumably bc of his last name. His full name is “Pio Mario Jr.” or “Papa Pio Mario,” with Jumpman being a nickname.

Plus, Donkey Kong and Mario are near enough the same age, which was confirmed from Yoshi’s Island DS. It wouldn’t make sense for Cranky to be young the first time he meets Mario and then older by their second encounter in the Jungle Kingdom.

It also seems as if Cranky and Mario are going to meet for the first time in the Jungle Kingdom instead of Brooklyn, since Donkey Kong Jr. and modern Donkey Kong are the same person.

But the Classic DK from the Arcade games is a younger Cranky and DK’s *father.*
