I thought Original DK became Cranky Kong, while DK Jr. was some middle-of-the-road guy lost to time, who fathered Donkey Kong from DKC and then left to become a Kart racer. Because no reference is made to Cranky being DK's dad in DKC. Hell, Cranky is a bit old for that. Granddad, sure.<br /><br />What we do know for certain is that Cranky = Original DK. After that it's muddled.<br /><br />Diddy has no relation to the above guys that I know of. They all have the Kong last name, but Diddy/Funky/Candy are all just from the same tribe. I guess. I hope Candy and Donkey/Diddy aren't related, since she was flauntin' her womanliness to them.<br /><br />Not sure how character balance is in MK Wii since they did away with the star-stats. Also, there are so many characters that I can't see it having the same delicate balance that they achieved with eight characters in the first couple games.Jerichohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14031388156675516231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8346508933381337699.post-49032940426264211692014-08-01T13:08:11.703-04:002014-08-01T13:08:11.703-04:00I enjoyed Cheese Land.

This is my first time reading about the post-64 Karts and there's a lot to see.<br /><br />DK Jr. from Super Mario Kart is the weirdest. I believe he comes from the arcade sequel, and they redesigned Son of DK as Diddy very shortly after.<br /><br />I got 4th in Super Mario Kart once. My character sat there on the road off podium as the other 3 were recognized.<br /><br />I wonder how much the future games will succeed at character-balancing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8346508933381337699.post-82778730006339318082014-07-30T13:48:35.792-04:002014-07-30T13:48:35.792-04:00Three red shells are evil, though they were in MK6...Three red shells are evil, though they were in MK64 too.<br /><br />My understanding of Donkey Kong is that he's actually never changed in the kart series. Cranky Kong in DKC is the original DK. Donkey Kong Jr was in Super Mario Kart, and he's the same guy who became the most recognizable "Donkey Kong" of the DKC series, he just lost the tank top.<br /><br />Cheese Land looks more like Pee Land!<br /><br />To my knowledge you always come out on top of a tie in Mario Kart, and likely a lot of other games.<br /><br />Even without the rain that stage still has a great sky.<br /><br />Hanging onto a star is also risky since other items like ghost or lightning bolt can cause you to lose your item.<br /><br />I can't say for sure about the 4th place ending in every game, but for a brief moment in MK64's ending you can see the character in 4th looking on from a distance.Braynhttp://resistanceline.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
