Origin |
Donkey Kong Jr. is a fictional character from the Super Mario series. He had first appeared in Donkey Kong Jr. as the hero, and has appeared in other media, such as Super Mario Kart, a cartoon on the Saturday Supercade, and Donkey Kong Jr. Math. His last appearance was in Mario Tennis.
Donkey Kong Sr.'s son that becomes the father of the present day Donkey Kong, with his father being Donkey Kong Sr. (Cranky Kong). In his debut game, he was trying to save his father from his captor Mario, who had defeated the big ape in the previous game, Donkey Kong. While his father used barrels to take on Mario, Jr. relies on dropping fruit on the heads of his enemies in order to knock them out.
In M.U.G.E.N, Donkey Kong Jr. has been made twice by King Pepe and Exclamation Question. King Pepe's version has a custom moveset with edited sprites from the NES game, while Exclamation Question's version is based off of the bootleg fighting game Kart Fighter.
KingPepe's version
Using heavily edited sprites from the NES game Donkey Kong Jr., this ape will save its father with various zoning tools, such as barrels, jacks, and fruit. The two buttons give it little to work with, however.
NS's version
Using Kart Fighter sprites, this plucky gorilla doesn't play like anything in particular. Although he has his roots in the source game, he comes with great rushdown options and comboability.
Exclamation_Question's version
Like King Pepe's version, this one is a two button character except it uses and
. Unlike King Pepe's version, it uses sprites and moves from Kart Fighter, the famous bootleg Nintendo fighting game. Aside from using assets from the source game, it is also extremely accurate to Kart Fighter.
