Donkey Kong is a series of multi-platform bongo-hitting games created by Keiji Inafune, the first of which released in 9 July 1981. They used to require a physical bongo set to play, but the idea was scrapped after the third game. The latest game in the franchise is Donkey Kong Bananza.

The general story begins with a newborn Donkey Kong being abandoned in a lake by his family, rulers of the Kong Kingdom. Fortunately, the lake led him to a humble village of donkeys, where he was raised as one of their own. He then grows up to become a skilled fighter and banana eater. This catches the attention of his biological brother and now ruler of the kingdom King Kong, and wants Donkey Kong to come back. Now our hero must decide who his true family really is.
