Allow me to educate:

(A): This is Donkey Kong Country. Popular SNES game. Huge graphical achievement in 1994. Classic. Known as Super Donkey Kong in Japan (and probably the rest of Asia too)

(B) This is a famicom, released as the NES in the western world. Popular video game console, very large userbase,
easy to steal technology.

This is "Super Donkey Kong Xiang Jiao Chuan". Horrific attempt at porting A to B by Chinese pirate developers.
(and
this is a plug)

This is Donkey Kong from SDK:XJC. God-awful sprite. Looks very little like Donkey Kong.
This is thingio. Generally amazing game from Tech Wing and Someguy should finish part B (or any of the similarly great projects announced for that matter). Part B has a race with the above sprite from the above game. Credited as "Donley Kong".
This is Kamikaze. Made a joke game featuring the same character titled "Donley Kong 3: Stars of the brave" or something like that

This is
SHPDMBGWL4 3 EX, part 3.5 of a series of awfully made games made by myself. Features Donley Kong as one of the main characters
in short, Donley Kong
is- A terrible sprite from a terrible game
- A mispelling of Donkey Kong which unofficially became a fan name for the character
- A generally rubbish character
Donley Kong
isn't- Related to Little Nemo the Dream Master or Donkey Kong Arcade
- A nod to those games
- a good character
