Donkey Kong Jr.

Donkey Kong Jr. is the main protagonist of the arcade game of the same name and the son of Cranky Kong, thus possibly being the present Donkey Kong's father.
When he was first introduced, he had to break his father out of the cage Mario locked him in. He later appeared in other games such as Super Mario Kart, Mario's Virtual Tennis, and Mario Tennis 64, which was his final physical appearance in a game.
After years of only cameos in games such as Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Donkey Kong Jr. made his return to the Mario series in Mario Kart Tour via a SNES variant alongside SNES Mario.
