Actually DK Jr. had his own game and is pretty recognizable. So atleast he has that. But Queen Bee? What the fuck does she have?
Point is, DK Jr. is recognizable now. Back then nobody really cared. Most people still don't know there was a Jr.

I'm trading in Uncharted, Uncharted 2, and inFamous for a copy of Mario Kart 7 and some coke.

I'm very excited for another Mario Kart game. Some of most found gaming moments of this generations are with Mario Kart Wii online.

How is he more recognizable now? He was the hero of an arcade game and really didn't do much after that. What did DK Jr. do in the time being that makes him more recognizable now than he was before?
All I'm saying is that DK Jr. was the star of his own game but Queen Bee was a brief and minor character in Galaxy with two lines of dialogue and did practically nothing.
Brief and Minor Character VS Star of His Own Game
You can't compare them.

DK Jr was one of my all time favourite videogames as a child whose only console was the Adam Coleco Vision.
Also correct me if I'm wrong but (I looked it up and I'm not) at the point of Super Mario Karts release DK had never been a playable character, while DK Jr had been.
RE: Mario Kart 7 (because I care!) - Koopaul - 11-17-2011
Yeah the only Mario characters who had been playable up until that point were Mario, Luigi, Peach, Toad, and DK Jr.
RE: Mario Kart 7 (because I care!) - Alpha Six - 11-17-2011
Koop, I think you missed what I was saying. I'm not saying DK Jr is more relevant now, but he IS more recognizable now-- because of his age.
Back then lots of people didn't even know there was a Jr., or they didn't care. Then he got put in Mario Kart + Mario Tennis and now more people are aware.
That's all I'm saying.
RE: Mario Kart 7 (because I care!) - NICKtendo DS - 11-17-2011
I honestly don't care who they add (except babies), as long as they don't cut the important ones.
Queen Bee is a WTF addition to the roster, but you are not obligated to play as her (unless they re-introduce Mission Mode). Some might want to play as her, so her addition is only better. If you don't like her, just deal with it.
I can finally play as Shy Guy without Download Play. That is what I care about.

Except that they totally did.
In fact, DKJR was so recognizable at that time that he starred in his own cartoons. Right along with Q*Bert, Mario, DK SR, Frogger, and Pac-Man. The video game all-stars of the time.
Unfortunately there's a lot of disconnect as far as the DK continuity goes. Nobody's really quite sure if the current Donkey Kong is actually an adult JR or not. I would love to see JR show up in another spin-off title, but the chances are unlikely and it's in no way a deal-breaker.

Aw man, don't tell me that he isn't!
C-can someone check that for me and see if there is at least Koopa Troopa? I don't want to spoil the whole dang roster but I at least would like to know that. ><

I don't think DB is in, but Koopa is in there so need to worry about that.
RE: Mario Kart 7 (because I care!) - Koopaul - 11-17-2011
Yeah I knew that was the whole roster. Really stupid isn't it?
