Um, no, pretty sure nobody does this at all.

When I think of Donkey Kong characters I can only think of two things: be really brown and act silly. And that's it. I don't think the non-talking Nintendo characters things works out too well in their case. The music and atmosphere tend to put me to sleep too...
This was a pretty great game. You're by no means limited to their arcade origins, you can make a good pacman or donkey kong game and you can expand on them, it just hasn't been done as well or as often as possible. The few times haven't really been enough to get peoples' attention and I don't really blame them. Only DK game I really cared about was DK 64. Played the others when I was a kid, they're okay I guess...? I'm pretty sure I liked that 3D cartoon thing back then though.
