I want to insist that the purple is acknowledging Bonzi Buddy.

[jasonthejazzman]

Nintendo: "Yeah we TOTALLY intended to make those references"
Meanwhile, the intern throwing darts at a dartboard: "Alright we hit purple!"

[SkewerKing]

I have a friend who likes to call green Donkey Kong "The Grinch on steroids"

[youngdinu]

meanwhile in nintendo inc.

“so what should be the color shifts for dk?”
“i dunno just mess around with the hue and see what we’ve got”

[pirate_cove_man]

The white one might also be a reference to Super Kong from DKC returns

[leaffinite]

Nintendo just spins a color wheel lets be honest with ourselves

[theswyfty]

Imagine naming your kid Jr. the second

[aaronwishard]

Awww that's sweet. DK the Third referencing his Dad and Grandpa in their video games!

[kmissoni]

Wasn't the white fur thing a dk country returns skin. Once you died a lot of times, you got help by the game

Edit: I've been alerted it's called super kong, thanks guys :)

[Swordsmage]

Imagine not only do you not have your own name by being a Junior, but you're the *second* Junior.

Dude, I had forgotten how good the blue fur looked

[Toasty_Sub]

Actuall, i think white fur is from country returns named Super Kong, he comes out whenever you die too many times in a level offering to do the level for you. Search him up, hes pretty cool and a life saver when I was younger. Super Kong.

[BigCheezy]

White DK is based on the Helper Monkeys from Donkey Kong Jungle Beat

[PrepWizardBix]

"Yeti DK" is the DK that shows up when you have a CPU show you how to beat a level after losing it so many times

[malk]

white fur is donkey kong country returns ai that helps you out

[finalflash]

Or maybe they were like

“I like these colors a lot”

[anti-freeze]

I kept referring to all of DK's colors as dragon ball transformations.
Default being great ape
Yellow being super saiyan
White being ultra instinct
Purple, ultra ego
Pink, super saiyan rose
Green, legendary super saiyan
Black super saiyan 4
And Red being super saiyan god

[moisesdanielalvarado]

White Donkey Kong is Ultra Instinct and Purple Donkey Kong is Ultra Ego

[SDW_YT]

I actully think white is inspired by the super kong from dk country returns.

the amount of money and blood I would pay to get a bluster kong costume...
