Nice video, and yeah I get calling DK III, DK for simplicities sake and currently Nintendo primarily refers to Cranky as well Cranky and on occasion adds the extension the original Donkey Kong as a reminder to fans that Cranky is the original Donkey Kong from DKA. But on Donkey Kong III being DK Jr., he isn't. It is clearly established DK III is the son of Cranky Kong. DKC: _"To see the familiar wrinkled, white-bearded, grouchy face of his old granddad 'Cranky Kong' peering down at hi,. In his heyday, Cranky was the original Donkey Kong who battled Mario in several of his own games."_ DKCR: _"Donkey Kong’s white-bearded, grouchy grandfather."_ Dialogue: _"glad I could help my grandson overcome this deadly challenge in exchange for a little cash money." _ _"Well, you've amazed your old grandpa by getting this far."_ _"You made it all the way to the Volcano! You may have some of your grandpappy in you after all."_ MSSB: _"His ancestor, the original Donkey Kong, wore no necktie."_ NOM _"He passed on his named 'Donkey Kong' to his grandson. Since then, he has been called Cranky and is loved as the elder member of the Kong family."_ _"Grandon of the original Donkey Kong. he took on the name 'Donkey Kong' from the original in 'Donkey Kong Country' (SNES)."_ Meanwhile it is clearly established Donkey Kong Junior is the son of the Original Donkey Kong aka Cranky. As we see in thee DK Junior Manual and NOM _"He is the son of the original Donkey Kong."_ People thinking DK III is DK Jr. stems from people trying to apply the movie continuity to the game continuity while ignoring all the information that came before. Or how DK III looks different from the adult DK Jr. and is smaller than him. Kiddy or as I prefer to call him Dinky Kong might not actually be Dixie's cousin. As some people have notice the cousin thing seems to be omitted in the Japanese version. On top of that Dinky is referred to as Dixie's friend rather than cousin in NOM. _"She is a lively female Kong who is best friends with Diddy and Dinky."_ Btw there is a hypothesis that Dinky Kong was going to be the next DK given his Japanese naming and the theme of passing the torch. DK Snr. was replaced by DK Jr. who was replaced by DK III. Diddy the sidekick took the hero role in DKC2 after DK III did in DKC, and Dixie took the hero role in DKC2 after Diddy had it. So it would make sense Dinky would be next and could even have had become the next kong to wear the tie, but due to his poor reception it didn't happen.
What I think is that when donkey Kong was a baby his father abandoned him and left the family as well as the jungle kingdom and so cranky raised DK I think in that sense cranky is his father but biologically it’s his grandfather
Folks who loved DKC1 and DKC2 not being impressed by DKC3 is pretty common and may come down to development. The team that developed DKC1 and DKC2 would then get to work on Project Dream, which would become Banjo-Kazooie, and then Banjo-Tooie, while a new team would develop DKC3 and DK64.
Candy's cool. When you think about it she's one of the forefront business savvy and entrepreneur Kongs with her roles throughout the games she's in. Idk just kinda tired of the "ew look they gave the toon monkey lady tits" bit. Same for Tiny's redesign, though I can at least understand if one was a 64 kid. I wasn't so Tiny's current look is what I have nostalgia for admittedly lol. Besides Kiddy and Chunky already show their specific family tree has interesting growth spurts going on. If anything Dixie is the anamoly among them.
This is my favourite episode I've seen so far.

I don’t think kiddy Kong was ever supposed to be the next DK lol
@@nickmantuano16 well it is just a hypothesis.
Crazy family tree
What I think is that when donkey Kong was a baby his father abandoned him and left the family as well as the jungle kingdom and so cranky raised DK I think in that sense cranky is his father but biologically it’s his grandfather
In irl It’s very normal for younger siblings to become taller than their older siblings so tiny becoming taller than Dixie is pretty accurate
ALRIGHT!!! LET'S FRICKIN GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
