Template talk:Donkey Kong

message: Jungle Beat is not a Donkey Kong Country game in any way shape or form as it uses no characters, locations, enemies nothing not a single refrence to these games so I removed it from the Donkey Kong Country section and moved it into other because it didn't belong anywhere else. 58.165.215.242 08:08, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Donkey Kong Country Game 

message: Any definition of "Donkey Kong game" that doesn't include the two games actually named "Donkey Kong" is not workable.
Think about this template not as a definition of "this game features Donkey Kong," but as a tool to navigate related games. Someone reading about the original Donkey Kong is very likely to be interested in the two sequels to that game, both DK Jr. and the 1994 Game Boy sequel. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 09:09, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: DK '94 is a remake. It's the same plot, with the same levels and 100 levels added onto that. - A Link to the Past (talk) 12:18, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: On that note, somebody removed DK'94 and Mario vs DK from the template (coincidentally, ones I added) because they starred Mario and not DK himself. Well, I guess we should remove DK, DK Jr, DK III, DKC2, DKC3, DKL2, DKL3, and DK Jr Math. None of those games starred DK. --ZeromaruTC 14:41, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

replies: text:  When i made this template originally it was just to navigate ALL kong games, like you would for mario or anything else. the image is causing too much drama so for now just keep it off. But it would make no sense to remove the DKC games or something and split the templates into smaller ones. Subcategory maybe, but not a split template --larsinio 15:37, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: No drama man, I'll leave it off for the time being if it gets reverted again. It's just annoying having people drop in and be judge-jury-executioner as if they own this place. In so far as what games do or don't belong, I think the way it is now is fine. I certainly don't think the original DK should be excluded from the series. :P -Locke Cole 15:49, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

text: Metroids aren't the star character of the Metroid series, either, nor do they appear in every game or appear prominently in the games they're in. But any game starring Samus is still a Metroid game. Any game following the mould of the classic Donkey Kong is, similarly, in the Donkey Kong series. That's just the name of the series, the main character is irrelevant.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Impossible (talk • contribs) 23:12, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

message: Wow, seriously consider changing the color scheme of this template. I can see that you're trying to go for the DK-themed color but the contrast between the blue and the brown makes the template's title absolutely impossible to see. Kindly consider a lighter or more discernable color, thanks. Axem Titanium 21:31, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Color contrast 

message: Technically, it should be refered to as the Rare Series and not the main one, since Rare isn't making DK games any more (Except Didy Kong Racing, But that's a different series) but Nintendo is.-GEM036 (talk) 21:56, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Doesn't matter - the Rare-made DK games being made by Rare doesn't mean they're not main titles (and on top of that, all titles made after DKC are based on DKC and later Rare-made titles). - A Link to the Past (talk) 01:18, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
