donkey kong Jr.
Who?
That's Donkey kong
Geno has a sticker in Smash Ultimate and a costume in 4.
Meanwhile, Koopa Kid hasn't been anywhere since Mario Party 7. He wasn't even in the Mario Party compilation game, all instances of him were replaced by Bowser Jr.
is this the next jojo?
My favourite Persona cast and they've been relegated to meaningless references and easter eggs.
Smash isn't canon
Paper Mario was never canon to begin with.
In fact, the only canon games are the mainline games and Yoshi's Island. Maybe Luigi's Mansion and Wario Land as well.
no it's donkey kongs dad
literally most of the different kongs in the DKC series
playable NES Remix, skin in Mario Maker, background cameo in Tropical Freeze (artwork based on his old sprite though, not an actual 3d appearance). There are many characters more forgotten than DK Jr.
Literally.
>mario
>canon
>A character gets fucking 1984'd
Sweet.
He's kinda, you know, dead.
WHERE IS HEEEEEEEE
orly
Isn't he DK? Canonically, Cranky is the original Donkey Kong, so Cranky's son would be DK Jr. Is DK Cranky's son?
BIG GUMBUS
...
Modern DK is referred to as Cranky's grandson everywhere but DK64. When asked about that, one of the old Rare devs essentially said that it was a mistake and claimed it was just Cranky being senile.
He grows up and becomes DK is not that hard to understand even the DKC intro makes it clear
Literally one nigger ruin it and got this character removed from Skullgirls cannon
I forgot about that! And she was really cool, what was the entire story behind it? I just remember they had to take her out of the character poll.
Her creator had a non-disclosure agreement with the devs which he promptly broke by posting about it on a forum that the devs frequented.
>Mario Party
>canon
It's his own damn fault, then.
Juju was a concept some dude on facebook came up with so Lab Zero had to get the rights from him. However within 15 min of him signing the contract, he fucking posts on the forums about it instantly breaking the Non-Disclosure Agreement he signed voiding the contract and forcing Lab Zero to remove Juju from the game entirely
here's an SRK article about it shoryuken.com
>him
Every character in Super Mario RPG that wasn't already pre-existing in the Mario universe.
BUT BUT BUT
I can't believe he's fucking dead...
Why were so many costumes removed between 4 and ult
>DK's dad is a monklet
what's the issue
Not an argument
Who?
It's been 4 years already
There's another example from the very same game
They should just turn him into a Donkey Kong clone without the big banana hair, turning his tights into a white business suit with torn sleeves. It'd be recognizable enough and would fit alongside the Rare designs.
That’s not King Goomba that’s Goomboss
I miss bobbeh
He has the same name in Japan, it's the same character. Don't know why they changed it.
Here’s one that was actually in a game
This one would also be replaced with Bowser Junior given the opportunity.
Despicable yet true.
Counterpoint :
On the one hand, you're right.
On the other hand, actually go fuck your entire immediate family, including yourself.
Literally a donut steel
NOA loved changing names for no reason, and often they couldn't even keep consistency with that name afterwards when dealing with characters based on generic monsters. See also Atomic Boo, Big Boo, King Boo and Boss Boo which is a big mess as I learned during that whole Super Crown fanart fever.
k9 mind
Everyone suffers though, she had a cute design.
>he doesn’t know about the lore
AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH
Mad Scrubs were wiped from canon? Were they absent from the 3DS remake or something?
Did anybody even like Kiddie Kong? It was bad enough playing 2 without Donkey, but both Donkey and Diddy being sidelined was just too much.
This is the current DK, DK Jr. is his dad and Cranky is DK Jr.'s dad, easy as that.
How hard can it be to understand?
There's a pretty strong chance he's that lincon looking motherfucker in V
I mean, at least atomic was just one translator messing up (then again, he misinterpreted クリキング (King Goomba's jap name) as King Chestnut so they probably didn't get the memos they needed. Same with the "Sky-blue Pipe which should have been Sky-blue Spiny Egg). Atomic Boo was always Big Boo everywhere else and King Boo is another character entirely. This one just doesn't make any sense.
It was probably just different people who had no idea the characters already had a translated name in other games. They just go through translating everything, reach a name, and think up some sort of pun for it.
You’d think they’d have a continuity checked or something, but that isn’t something Nintendo cared about until very recently. Even now, they treat continuity more like a meme than an actual thing.
>the only member of the DK crew to not be in Barrel Blast
>not even worthy of being a trophy in Smash
At least he's a spirit
He’s a hell of a guy
main reason why i didn't play it if im being honest. Should have been DK and Dixie
Holy shit that rhymes
AND THEN THERE'S CHUNKY
i miss him so much bros
too soon
He was just in a game very recently bitch nigga
He was a rampant atheist
Wasn't he just in Star Allies? That is the opposite of "expunged from canon."
