Let's complicate things even further by bringing Donkey Kong Jr. into this.
Cranky is DK's grandfather. Cranky is also the Donkey Kong, Sr. from the arcade games. Modern-day DK is said to be the Donkey Kong Jr. featured in the arcade titles... which doesn't make sense since "Jr." implies "son," not grandson. Jr. should actually be DK's father. Is Country DK actually Donkey Kong III and Jr. really has been missing for all of these years?
Also, Cranky becoming a frail old ape in the Country series while Mario is still young as ever. Do gorillas age faster than humans? Or is the "Jumpman" Mario from the arcade games actually the grandfather of present-day Mario?
