He's a cantankerous old coot who seems to have a penchant for exaggerating his youth. He'd probably claim that he wasn't actually captured, just pretending to be captured in order to test Jr.

He fell into a wormhole that sent him back in time during that rare fucked up Donkey Kong 3 sequel on some Japanese computers.
I'm not joking. It's some of the most bizarre fucking shit. There's a level with a nuclear explosion in the background.
It probably also explains why Stanley the Bugman has been AWOL ever since then.

Gorillas live maybe 35 years. Mario could have been 18 years old in donkey kong and he would be in his 50s right now. And judging from latest trends, alot of 50 year olds are in great fucking shape. Just look at joe rogan. He could be in mario odysey and nothings out of place. Hes been jumping around killing shit for years. On the other hand, cranky is dead and donkey kong is probably getting crankys age from dkc by now.

Bright, colorful visuals and a vibrant atmospheric soundtrack by David Wise, the GB couldn't do the DKC games justice.

If you mean the dkc port on the gbc, thats not good. For starters play the dkl games for gameboy on a gba sp and choose a color palette that you enjoy. The dkl games on gb are very good, but dk 94 is best. The dkc games on snes are at the top of the platformer list. Each one has a different gameplay mechanic as each one uses different characters. Donkey kong and donkey knog jr. are great games that everybody should play if they consider themselves a "gamer". Donkey kong 64 sucked really bad, worse than banjo kazooie, just collectathon shit, but if you like that kinda thing... gopher it!. Im not sure what other dk games there are besides diddy kong racing, which is great
All other dk games are non retro shit to my knowledge.

The GBC port of Donkey Kong Country has fucked up hitboxes (they don't match the sprite size; they used Donkey Kong Land as a base for the game's code, then changed the sprite size without changing the hitbox) and it hinders the quality of the platforming. I recommend playing the SNES original, you'll really notice a difference.
t. someone else who also only had the GBC port of DKC for years

Mario is actually 23. Or 26. I forget which, but it was Miyamoto confirmed just recently.

More reasons why the Cranky = Original DK thing is a bullshit throw away joke that stuck for no reason.
