This appears to be the end of Donkey Kong Jr., but it wasn’t. Conveniently, there are plenty of body doubles for Donkey Kong Jr. Mario had the body double make a few more token appearances at tennis matches, and once he was satisfied that no suspicion was going to arise, he let Donkey Kong Jr. body doubles to pose for the credits and later break off contact with his father. Not wanting to raise suspicion with two “accidents” in such close proximity, Mario hired one of the several Donkey Kong Jr. The body would be consumed by nearby minor enemies. the long distance to the ground after all witnesses had left the stage, creating a role reversal of the one time Mario had been defeated. was trapped in a cage in a late stage, left behind by Mario and his father.

Mario presented this as a friendly stage play (like Super Mario Bros. The end result of Mario’s first attempt to kill Donkey Kong Jr.įorced to try again, Mario set up another adventure that would involve his secret enemy, the Game Boy Donkey Kong. The Koopa was dead (this led to his species boycotting the Mario Kart games until over a decade later in Mario Kart: Double Dash) and a furious Mario locked up the “rogue” Thwomp in Bowser’s Castle without a trial, as seen in Mario Kart 64. when they passed under the Thwomp assassin, and the Thwomp hit the wrong target. But things don’t always go according to plan.Ī Koopa Troopa who had been chosen to represent his species in Super Mario Kart was neck in neck with Donkey Kong Jr. Had this plan succeeded, we would likely know nothing of it today. was under him, and to use maximum force instead of the non-lethal amount the Thwomps were told to use for the “friendly” races. A certain Thwomp was instructed by Mario to break from his designated pattern when Donkey Kong Jr. Under the pretense of a friendly racing tournament for all his friends and enemies, Super Mario Kart was meant to be a simple trap. Unable to stand it any longer, Mario formulated a revenge plan. His secret obsession grew stronger and stronger as the years went by. Mario would not, could not, let go of his anger at the only character to ever defeat him. With his platformers making him the most famous character in gaming, Mario’s public image was as pure as could be. Mario was far busier, and not just with his games…Īfter the trivial task of fighting his way back to the living world, Mario’s career really began to take off. passed his time doing math problems, and despite his glandular problem that would let him play his child role for years to come, he did manage to start a family. and Donkey Kong returned to their home after the latter had a brief detour in a greenhouse. With his father rescued and Mario dead for the time being, Jr. did the unthinkable in this game, and defeated Mario. set out to rescue his father from Mario as the titular character and playable protagonist in Donkey Kong Jr. Mario succeeded in rescuing his girlfriend Pauline (her minimal appearances since then are another indication that Mario does not wish to have this part of his career emphasized) and captured Donkey Kong. In his debut game, Donkey Kong, Mario was the playable character but the titular “bad guy” was said to be Mario’s pet whom Mario had not treated well. Mario was a lot more morally ambiguous in his first appearance. I have put in the painstaking research and risked the wrath of gaming’s most powerful “hero” to bring you the truth. The sordid tale of hatred and revenge can be glimpsed through the games the public has seen, and it is a disturbing and complex story.

What happened to Donkey Kong Jr.? The answer will shock you and forever change how you view Mario and his world. has not been seen in some time, despite his father and son still being alive and active. With the revelation that the current Donkey Kong is the grandson of the original, now known as Cranky Kong, it is logical to assume that Donkey Kong Jr. has… vanished? The ending Mario doesn’t want you to see. Ever since then, Mario’s image has been kept pure, and Donkey Kong Jr. is the only game to present Mario as a villain who loses at the end. Donkey Kong Jr., the second game that Mario ever appeared in, cast him as the villain who was defeated and even killed (he’s Mario, so he was able to get better) by the title character. Deep in Mario’s past, however, there is one game that is an exception to both those rules. Nintendo’s greatest hero, Mario always does the right thing and always wins. Mario is one of the most beloved and pure characters in all of gaming.
