Nintendo Owns the Kremlings: Squashing a Myth

[MrYoshbert]

Pretty sure it's been well-established Nintendo owns everything and anything that has to do with the DK franchise itself... Except for the characters introduced in Diddy Kong Racing, I think (sans Krunch, because he's a Kremling).

I'm guessing the misconception comes from the arcade games, the Mario vs. DK games, and Jungle Beat still being fresh in people's minds (the latter of which having DK, bananas, and the Jungle Hijinx theme as the only recurring elements from the Country games left intact).
