Quote:Back then lots of people didn't even know there was a Jr.,
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.
