Donkey Kong Bananza and the Mario Timeline

Understanding the Confusion in the Mario Timeline

The Complexity of Donkey Kong's Identity

  • DK Bonanza complicates the Mario timeline, linking the current Donkey Kong to his appearances in Donkey Kong Country and DK64.
  • Cranky Kong is identified as the original big gorilla from the arcade games, creating a generational connection within the franchise.
  • The character Pauline appears multiple times, raising questions about her identity across different game iterations.

Theories Surrounding Pauline's Character

  • A theory suggests that the Pauline seen in earlier arcade games may actually be the grandmother of the younger Pauline featured in Super Mario Odyssey.
  • This theory aligns with Cranky Kong being portrayed as Donkey Kong's grandfather, establishing a familial lineage among characters.
