* AssPull: Almost half the canon fixes in the fanon. From [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Master Hand]]'s Interdimensional Chest of Time to Diddy Kong's prosthetic [[VideoGame/MarioGolf golfing]] fingers, this site will throw anything at the wall to explain away inconsistencies.
* BizarroEpisode: The infamous [[http://www.dkvine.com/interactive/forums/index.php?showtopic=272 Bear Rape]] topic became such a site meme that it was reopened!
* CreatorWorship: Tons. New Staff member Sparky Z was popularly lampooned by Carter as a Chad and Slush worshipping elf. Mark's monikor "News Whore" comes from him sucking up to gain his editorship.
* CrackPairing: The [[http://www.dkvine.com/features/romance.html Romance of the DKU]] feature notes that fans use the chemistry system in the ''Mario Baseball'' games to justify their {{shipping}}.
--> Donkey Kong ♥z [[VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine Petey Piranha]] 4 EVA N ALWAYZ!
* DeathOfTheAuthor: After the Old Staff quit, their final sway in controlling DKU canon was lost. Aussie Ben would later take over the forums in attempt to enforce his will over ''VideoGame/VivaPinata'''s canonicity.
* FandomRivalry:
** While at least some members are ''VideoGame/FireEmblem'' fans, their disdain towards ''Fire Emblem'' characters being added into ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' has caused this with the larger ''Fire Emblem'' fanbase.
** They also have this with non-Rare fans, considering the general perception of the company outside the site hasn't exactly been in their favor.
* FanonDiscontinuity:
** Most posters consider the New Staff a worthless addition to the site and prefer to forget it exists, particularly satirical articles by Saf.
** ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongJungleBeat'' is a surprising aversion. It ''is'' considered to be canon by the site, though a RunningGag is that it was [[AllJustADream just a great drug trip]]. Perhaps considering it part of the original canon is a TakeThat against its creators, who wished to avert that.
* MisBlamed: Shigeru Miyamoto was blamed for Rare not producing a new ''Donkey Kong Country'', due to his infamously disparaging quote. Nevermind he later became a huge force in getting a new game made, he became the center of paranoid conspiracy theories wherein he was directly out to sabotage Rareware, in such ways as "forcing" ''[[VideoGame/StarFoxAdventures Star Fox on Dinosaur Planet]]'' and [[InvisibleAdvertising mispromoting]] ''VideoGame/ConkersBadFurDay''.
