History
Donkey Kong came back to the Mushroom Kingdom hoping for a fresh start after he stopped his evil ways. He was accepted by most people. He got a job as a news reporter for the Mushroom Kingdom News. He then got married to a gorilla named Fooquesha and had a kid (Donkey Kong Jr.). But only after 3 months of marriage he filed a divorce because his wife cheated on him with his own dad. Fooquesha got custody of DK Jr. He was so angry he was about to go back to his evil ways, but then he met Red who became his best friend and Donkey Kong decided to stay good. But Princess Peach heard Donkey Kong was in her kingdom she ordered a man-hunt. Donkey Kong was now a fugitive. It didn't take long for Peach to find him because they found him shopping for bananas at a nearby Walmart. He was able to quickly prove himself by stopping Bowser from kidnapping Peach again. Now he is friends with Peach and Mario and Luigi now trust that he has put his evil ways behind him.
