Cranky Kong (Donkey Kong)
The actual relationship between Cranky Kong and the titular gorilla in the Donkey Kong games has been inconsistent over the years. But whatever the actual blood relation or lack thereof is, Cranky Kong has been a paternal figure to DK and all his pals. The quirky and erratic old man is wise and disciplined to balance out Donkey Kong’s raw strength. It’s truly a shame we don’t get to play as the old man that often. Give him his own game, Nintendo.
