How'd you make a 3D Donkey Kong game?

I think a slightly more accurate assertion would be that the character designers didn't know or care what a chimp was. But that always bothered me, being an enthusiast of both monkeys and apes.

Oh, I know that's the real reason. I just like to theorize as though I'm in that universe.

Kong is more of a title than a species. When they say he's a Kong, that just means he's part of the... DK Crew HUH!

[Kriven]

I thought the Kongs were all related though? One great, big, incestuous family?

[Koopaul]

DK is Wrinkly and Cranky's grandson.
Dixie and Tiny are sisters.
Kiddie and Chunky are brothers.
Dixie/Tiny and Kiddy/Chunky are cousins.

Diddy, Lanky, Funky, Swanky, and Candy are not related to any known Kong.

[Kriven]

Diddy is Donkey's nephew.

all the gorillas in donkey kong jungle beat are MUCH bigger than dk

except the kung fu one iirc

[Koopaul]

Diddy is Donkey's nephew.

According to Rare and Cranky Kong, Diddy is a "nephew wannabe" not his true nephew.

How random. "Aw, gee whiz. I sure wish I could be Donkey's nephew!"

[Koopaul]

Then again Rare says a lot of things. First they said DK is Cranky's grandson (in DKC), then they claimed that he's his son (in DK64). And now we are back to him being his grandson.

Hell in Japan K. Rool and Kaptain K. Rool are brothers!

[Kriven]

K. Lumsy is the brother!
