Everyone should be happy. (Final roster topic)

Except Diddy Kong isn't part of a Mario franchise.

At all.

You know, I never quite understood why Nintendo suddenly decided to associate Donkey Kong with the Mario franchise in the first place, and made players do the same. It just started as a RARE 3rd party title.

Actually, Donkey Kong started out as a Nintendo title, titled Donkey Kong, where he threw barrels at a familiar Italian plumber while holding a familiar young lady hostage.

:B

D'oh. BRB, rereading my gaming history books, namely the "Stuff Everyone Should Know" section.

What I meant to say is the Nintendo adapted the RARE style of Donkey Kong as their new design, and now people are associating every RARE-created DK character as part of the Mario franchise.
