      And the series does the "two worlds" thing that another series does. The world Mario lives in NOW has a slower internal clock than Donkey Kong's which is more closer to the Belmonts' world. Likely, Cranky and his dad also beat up a few demons during his heyday when Dracula's Castle sprung up in Order of Ecclisa.

      Most great apes (like gorillas and chimpanzees) live to be about 40-50 but reach maturity (essentially both puberty and adulthood) at around 15 years. It's very much possible that it's the same Mario if Cranky and him were 15-25 (also let's be real, going after some giant ape who stole your girlfriend is totally something a teenage boy would absolutely do; boys'd do crazy things to impress chicks, so let's put him at the lower end of this age spectrum) at the time of classic DK, Cranky had Jr. sometime after the first game when he was 15-25 Jr. had our DK when he was 15-25, even if our DK is about 15-25 that'd put Cranky around 40-50 (which is essentially like middle-aged for apes; that's like retirement home age for them), and Mario would be around 35. For us, that's too old to be going on dangerous adventures after princesses and monster turtles, but for him that's probably the prime of his life. So, yeah I'd say it's very possible that Mario chased after Cranky when he kidnapped his girlfriend.

    1. The mario that Cranky fought was jumpman aka Mario and Luigi's father.

    In Donkey Kong that is not Mario. That is Jumpman Mario and Luigi's father and Pauline is their mother but after Jumpman died in donkey Kong Jr, Pauline had no choice but to send her children away to the stork since Donkey Kong would be after them. And after she sent Mario and Luigi away she gave birth to her new daughter, also named Pauline. So Pauline is Mario and Luigi's sister hear me out. In Donkey Kong Pauline has blonde hair but the new Pauline has brown hair so they must be different people. Its confusing I know but it makes a lot of sense if you ask me.

      This would make sense if Jumpman wasn’t Mario. Jumpman is Mario, Mario used to be a construction worker then moved to pluming. Mario’s first ever appearance was in Donkey Kong the Arcade game, but was named “Jumpman” at the time, he was later name changed to “Mario”. I hope this makes since, you can probably find a video on it.

    • @chuckarin1365

      DK64 messed it up with the "father" comment but that gets fixed to grandfather again with the DKC GBA remakes and DKC Returns/Tropical Freeze.
      It's also confirmed that Cranky was the one that raised DK "like a son" and the "father" comment is explained by saying that it's short for grandfather and used by grandkids as a form of closeness/affection towards their grandfathers.

      Kongs age significantly faster than humans, Cranky is also likely older than Mario in humans years. As for Baby DK it's because Yoshi's Island DS is a time travel story where Bowser and Kamek of the future kidnap babies from multiple different time periods, this makes DK the 3rd much younger than Mario since not all the Star Children are the same age.
