Why is he called Donkey if he's a monkey?

Miyamoto thought "Donkey Kong" meant "Stupid Ape" when he pitched the original arcade game.

Why does he wear the tie? Is he a business man?

Diddy or Donkey?

Always found Diddy to be a smaller target, and just a lot cooler.

Donkey. Diddy is a cool sidekick though. Best sidekick actually of all the kongs
>But much helicopter hair
Bros before hoes

Tail = Monkey
No Tail= Ape

In reality, In Mario canon, I think it's probably a name given to him because he was a Kong who fucked things up in New Donk City.

Shiggy thought "donkey" meant "stupid" or "stubborn".

It's literally the same thing except for the tail. No one cares

Cranky kong.

I thought it was a spelling error during development that they just decided to roll with

Normies say that but it's wrong. Donkey Kong isn't a monkey, he's a gorilla
