Withersoul, the arcade Donkey Kong, and the one we know today, are different characters. I heard it from Donkey Kong Country, DK64, SSBB, etc. The one that appeared in the first arcade games, and it's sequals is just a young Cranky Kong. The one that first appeared in Donkey Kong Country, and every game ever since, is just DKJR (who once appeared in Donkey Kong Jr), as an adult. How come it says it in several games that Cranky was the original Donkey Kong?
