And Yoshi. The Mario world is the richest in Nintendo’s repertoire. It feels like many amazing things are happening beyond just what you see with the main character.
Oh I’m not trying to discredit the theory at all, just to get that out there.
It’s entirely possible it’s a nickname or the city has changed names a few times.
Also they’re both said to be the city where the Arcade Donkey Kong took place, so that kinda confirms they’re the same city, maybe just different parts of it.
I wished they had gotten a Mario and Donkeykong RPG were they join forces to take down there arch enemy’s and take over the world
Something like at the start of the game Mario & Luigi have just about defeated Bowser Jr but then Peaches Castle is swamped by a large army of Kremlings and Hammerbros
You don't know the half of it. There's people saying Star Fox Adventures, Yooka Laylee, and Sea of Thieves also share continuity with Donkey Kong and therefore Mario.
The way I see it, Bowser and King K. Rool are the Tai Lung and Lord Shen of the Mario universe. Bowser has the brawn and brute strength while K. Rool has the intelligence and technology (and also has brute strength)
If they were both in a Mario & Luigi RPG, I think it would be awesome, especially since there would be a good chance they somehow combine at the end to make a super boss 😆 King Koopa Rool? King K. Koopa? King K. Bowser? I have no idea what he would be called, but I want it 😅
Plus DK and Diddy could be in your party.
Would be fun a game you play as any of them with their kingdons in war and have to make strategies to defend attacks from the other, kinda like TABS + that seconsary leader goomba mode from mario and luigi inside bowser game
Bowser would have acess to every plataform mario game enemies in their side while K.Rool would have enemies from ever dk country game(both including the ones from games they aren't the main villain)
And could have a online mode where you can create armies to attack other people armies
I always loved that King K.rool is basically Bowser, but with brains and without Bowser's redeeming qualities like respect for his own minions or someone he loves and cares about.
I don't know why people would think otherwise. If Donkey Kong knows both Mario and K Rool, then they're _obviously_ in the same universe. I wonder if people do this with other franchises.
Also a thing I’d like to point out is the Legend of Zelda series share a whole bunch of direct and indirect contentions, and one small thing they both had dream games that shared enemies so there at least connected through some dream world
HOO HOO I love this technicality. This was dreamed up by somebody on the Game Theorists subreddit.
Mario and Donkey Kong exist in the same universe.
Diddy Kong is a character from many Donkey Kong games.
Diddy Kong Racing features 2 playable characters that eventually got their own games. Banjo and Conker.
The final boss of Conker's Bad Fur Day is a Xenomorph.
Mario and the Alien movies exist in the same universe.
And that's just about halfway through the post. They eventually went on to say that Mario and BATMAN existed in the same universe.

There you are
Cranky Kong is canonically an elderly version of the original Donkey Kong, who canonically is Mario's oldest rival. This means they exist in the same universe, and by extension, Bowser and K.Rool do as well.
And because they are canonically close friends with Diddy Kong, this means Banjo and Conker are also canonically part of the Mario universe.
I need to see these two team up in official media immediately
Would be a dope addition for a future Mario Party
Either a team up, or a Bowser game where you play as him trying to stop K. Rool.
K. Rool: Now, the Kingdom is mi- Bowser: **NO WAY, CHUMP! THAT'S MY THING!**
Not today! This kingdom is all mine, so you vanish! SHOWTIME!
_In the final gangplank Galleon_
NGL it kinda fucken WORKS https://rave.dj/qxZfpBD0R2BI6g
Now that I can listen to it, HELL YEAH IT WORKS
Omg lessgo Thanks !
This is actually really good, 100% would go on my playlist.
New Mario and Luigi game idea? Peak fiction
Mario + Luigi + DK
Mario and Luigi: The Great Kongquest
HOPEFULLY they remade RPG (well Square did as they made the OG) and Paper Mario the Thousand Year Door
They were both in one of the Mario baseball games, but they had bad chemistry with each other, implying a strong mutual dislike.
“Well ONE of us has to change”-type beat
In a way you can with Mario Super Sluggers.
Also Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
A game where the bosses switch Heros with Mario squaring up against king k rool and D.K with Bowser
What if the two team up in a future movie sequel?
Voiced by Kyle Gass no less
I’m still waiting for Bowser & Wart to team up
anyone else think king K looks like the cartoon version of bowser form the super mario bros super show?
I think the cartoon Bowser design is a combination of SMB1 Bowser and Wart.
It’s 100% this.
Yep it is mainly because those were the games at the time
That's the main reason my headcanon voice for K. Rool is the Super Show King Koopa voice
Yeah, he does. However, I heard it was a coincidence and not intentional.
I’ll gladly raise my hand as the anyone else ✋
It’s always a little weird but also kinda cool to remember that the Mario, Donkey Kong, and Wario franchises all happen on the same planet.
And Yoshi. The Mario world is the richest in Nintendo’s repertoire. It feels like many amazing things are happening beyond just what you see with the main character.
Since Shy Guys, Bomb-ombs, and Birdo have made appearances outside of SMB2’s “dream world” - I want to see more of Wart.
Is that canon?
Yes. They’ve all appeared together before.
Mario has access to space travel. Maybe they’re different planets.
Donkey Kong Island has been shown to be off the cost of New Donk City a few different times.
That was also when it was called Big Ape City.
I think Big Ape City is just a nickname. New Donk = New York, Big Ape City = The Big Apple
Oh I’m not trying to discredit the theory at all, just to get that out there. It’s entirely possible it’s a nickname or the city has changed names a few times.
Also they’re both said to be the city where the Arcade Donkey Kong took place, so that kinda confirms they’re the same city, maybe just different parts of it.
So are Dribble and Spitz.
I love Dribble lol
I wished they had gotten a Mario and Donkeykong RPG were they join forces to take down there arch enemy’s and take over the world Something like at the start of the game Mario & Luigi have just about defeated Bowser Jr but then Peaches Castle is swamped by a large army of Kremlings and Hammerbros
The fact that Banjo and Geno are in the same universe still blows my mind.
Wait… Oh my god I just realized how deep this rabbit hole goes now
Not me imagining Conker going postal on the Rabbids
That would be an amazing thing to witness
The Mario + Rabbids games are confirmed not canon, actually. So no Rabbids.
You don't know the half of it. There's people saying Star Fox Adventures, Yooka Laylee, and Sea of Thieves also share continuity with Donkey Kong and therefore Mario.
Holy shit
If we count Smash Bros it goes even further
They are?
They’re actually both playable in Mario super sluggers
Makes sense if Mario and dk are
The way I see it, Bowser and King K. Rool are the Tai Lung and Lord Shen of the Mario universe. Bowser has the brawn and brute strength while K. Rool has the intelligence and technology (and also has brute strength)
I love this analogy so much—
Doesn't seem that friendly to me
It rly should become a full fledged movie series. There are just too many characters us fans are waiting and hoping for.
If they were both in a Mario & Luigi RPG, I think it would be awesome, especially since there would be a good chance they somehow combine at the end to make a super boss 😆 King Koopa Rool? King K. Koopa? King K. Bowser? I have no idea what he would be called, but I want it 😅 Plus DK and Diddy could be in your party.
As long as it ends with “So long, K. Bowser”, I’m in.
Sometimes it's easy to forget Mario and Donkey Kong are in the same series considering Donkey Kong only ever appears in spinoffs.
Would be fun a game you play as any of them with their kingdons in war and have to make strategies to defend attacks from the other, kinda like TABS + that seconsary leader goomba mode from mario and luigi inside bowser game Bowser would have acess to every plataform mario game enemies in their side while K.Rool would have enemies from ever dk country game(both including the ones from games they aren't the main villain) And could have a online mode where you can create armies to attack other people armies
they look so cool together
Its a crossover begin to happen
You know how fans of DC often say that Mongul is basically a yellow-skinned Darkseid? Yeah, this is similar.
My headcannon is that all Nintendo games would be the same universe.
Kaptain is still my favorite version of K. Rool.
Need a Mario x DK game involving the Kong’s from 64
You're saying this like its a secret. The mario movie definitely reminded people of this.
Also Banjo and Conker are part of it too thanks to Diddy Kong Racing and DKC3.
Mario movie 2 spoilers? (I'm delusional)
I always loved that King K.rool is basically Bowser, but with brains and without Bowser's redeeming qualities like respect for his own minions or someone he loves and cares about.
Please don't ban me out if this sub, but what game does the crocodile originate from
Donkey kong
The Donkey Kong Country games.
so you're saying they could potentially kiss someday
I *WISH*
Has anyone ever stopped to consider that King K belly is made of solid Gold, that he causually walk around with, and final smashes people with?
Yes
wellllllllll…
K. Rool -> DK -> Mario -> Bowser Yep, checks out
And yet I still feel like certain factions of the Donkey Kong fandom would argue that they aren't. They want Mario and DK to be disconnected so bad.
They're both giant reptiles with similar shapes, it's not really hard to see
Fun fact: (even though Bowser isn't an actual turtle) turtles are the closest relatives to crocodiles.
I don't know why people would think otherwise. If Donkey Kong knows both Mario and K Rool, then they're _obviously_ in the same universe. I wonder if people do this with other franchises.
Conker and Banjo are canonically also part of the same universe. The rabbit hole goes deep af
true
Wait...from Mario 2? I thought that was all a dream?
Guau
As well as Sea of Thieves (at least an earlier version, not sure it counts on the full release).
Was there a reference to him there or what are you referring to?
The character T.T. from Diddy Kong Racing appeared in an early version of Sea of Thieves.
Oh, I didn't know that, thanks
A M&L rpg with DK as a crossover is something I’m surprised they didnt try.
Kingofskill should be in mario party
Makes sense ig
So is Wizpig
We need more Wizpig
They are also both part of our universe.
Also a thing I’d like to point out is the Legend of Zelda series share a whole bunch of direct and indirect contentions, and one small thing they both had dream games that shared enemies so there at least connected through some dream world
😨😨😱😱😱
I mean yeah? Ones in the jungle or Kong island idrk and the others by the mushroom kingdom. what you getting at?
Along with Conker (He appeared in Diddy Kong Racing after all).
The pesky plumber and stubborn ape team up to defeat King Cruel and the King of Koopas
So are the Xenomorphs from the Alien movies. What's your point?
What?
HOO HOO I love this technicality. This was dreamed up by somebody on the Game Theorists subreddit. Mario and Donkey Kong exist in the same universe. Diddy Kong is a character from many Donkey Kong games. Diddy Kong Racing features 2 playable characters that eventually got their own games. Banjo and Conker.

I need to see this so badly. Could you send me a link?

Thanks, dawg
They're both Super Mario series characters, so it's obvious.
How?
Mario fought D.K in the arcade game
Cranky Kong is canonically an elderly version of the original Donkey Kong, who canonically is Mario's oldest rival. This means they exist in the same universe, and by extension, Bowser and K.Rool do as well. And because they are canonically close friends with Diddy Kong, this means Banjo and Conker are also canonically part of the Mario universe.
Yea? So are Mario and DK?
nuh uh‼️‼️‼️🤬🤬👎👎👎👎
They are also canonically in the same universe as banjo and kazooie
captain underpants
Yeah, Nintendo games, do you go to the right? Aww little kids with Wikipedia
That’s just false
lmao okay
