Donkey Kong Jr.'s first appearance was Donkey Kong Jr. but his first chronological appearance was in the 1994 gameboy remake of Donkey Kong. Although the original DK was the one battling Mario for Pauline, Junior provided help with switches and other traps to stop the plumber. When DK was captured, Junior himself came to his aid in the self-titled game Donkey Kong Jr.. After saving him, the two departed. Donkey Kong Jr. made his last appearances in Super Mario Kart, Mario's Tennis, and as an unlockable character in Mario Tennis 64.

The DK Question

It is implied in the Donkey Kong Country series that Donkey Kong Jr. grew up to be the current Donkey Kong, despite appearing alongside that same Donkey Kong in Mario Tennis 64. Although this is generall supported by most, in recent Nintendo games it is often implied that the current Donkey Kong is in fact the original Arcade DK and not DK Jr.
