    Diddy Kong is pretty awesome.  I loved playing as him with Jet Packs and double peanut pistols in Donkey Kong 64.

    They say that the Donkey Kong from the Donkey Kong games is Donkey Kong Jr. Although the Donkey kong in the mario games is most likely the 80's donkey Kong.

    I have very fond memories of Diddy Kong from DKC2. Also, he's my main in Brawl.

    I know you are right about that and how Cranky Kong is supposed to be Donky Kong and stuff, but it is still so mind-blowingly stupid.  Back in the day, Donkey Kong didn't wear a stupid tie and he got stuff done.  Now he is a banana obssessed idiot.  Donkey Kong Country is the Sonic 3 of Donkey Kong.  Donkey Kong Country 2 is awesome though, I'll admit that!

    In Donkey Kong Country, Cranky Kong said that he was really the DK from the original arcade game.
     
    When I first played that game I had to put down the controller because it felt like everything I ever knew was a lie. Oy vey.
     
    (And Diddy is definitely and easily the best sidekick Kong in the entire group)

    Then wouldn't that make Mario hella old? Or is Jumpman Mario's father as well?

    I love that little dude.  Who would have thought that his first game was so good?  I'm talking about DKC2, not Diddy Kong Racing.

    The way I see it, Donkey Kong was Mario's pet, right? 
    Then we have Donkey Kong, Jr., right? 
     
    So, if Bowser Jr. means anything, Princess Peach being his mom because she's into the bestiality, then Donkey Kong Jr's mom is Pauline.  
     
    This means that two of three of Mario's girlfriends ( Pauline, Peach, Daisy ) are into bestiality. 
     
    So, with that, the way I see it, Donkey Kong grew up to be Cranky Kong, and Donkey Kong Jr. grew up to be the current Donkey Kong, removing the Jr. in his name.

    The little guy was really cool in that game. His instrument wasn't the best, but it was still a freaking guitar.

    Yea DK and Diddy have been getting shafted by Nintendo!!!  I would really like to see Nintendo do something new with the DK's... Hell i would even settle for a arcade version of Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Jr as downloads on the wii.

    Diddy Kong is my favorite game character. I always play as him whenever possible.

    Totally. Nintendo doesn't do stories, and timelines don't work for most of their series (except Star Fox). 
     
    But to be perfectly fair, it's actually common knowledge that Donkey Kong Jr. is the current Donkey Kong.

    But Nintendo did destroy the timeline when they made the Mario Vs. Donkey Kong games.
