Donkey Kong (series)



Donkey Kong is a video game franchise created in 1981 by famed Nintendo game designer Shigeru Miyamoto, starring the titular anthropomorphic gorilla Donkey Kong, and it mainly consists of platformers and action puzzle games but also spawned several spin-offs.

The series started out with the arcade game Donkey Kong, Nintendo's first big hit in North America, which involves Mario, originally known as Jumpman, saving Pauline from the original Donkey Kong, now known as Cranky Kong. The game Donkey Kong Country for the SNES, developed by Rare Ltd., made Donkey Kong its own franchise, having gameplay completely different from the original arcade game which is similar to the Super Mario series; said game also spawned two sequels, Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!, as well as the Donkey Kong Land series, a series for the Game Boy based on Donkey Kong Country.

In M.U.G.E.N, most Donkey Kong characters are for collection purposes only because they have a limited moveset and gameplay, though some of them have more work put into them; many of these use sprites from the Donkey Kong Country series or other games, though some are custom-sprited.
