so if cranky kong was the original donkey kong, does that mean he took the name cranky upon retirement?

i prefer to think he was assigned cranky at birth and the donkey kong name is passed down, like dread pirate roberts or the phantom

i would love to see a coming of age story where diddy must relinquish his childish ways to become the next generation of donkey kong

It's the year of the gritty reboot, nintendo. there's still time

"donkey kong" was chosen as a name to convey an image of a stubborn ape. donkey kong is so stubborn he persists throughout the generations. through the many generations of bearers of the name, he is the Ape Who Never Dies
