* Nintendo got a real-life CMOA when Universal prosecuted over copyright infringement of ''Film/KingKong''. They wanted to take down the games company and saw demanding royalties and ''Donkey Kong'' pulled from the market would do it. Nintendo agreed to help and conducted research into the case before the head honchos met. Nintendo offered a partnership. Universal refused, certain the Japanese based company would crack. Then Nintendo dropped the bombshell that Universal were themselves guilty of copyright under the legal brief they handed down (the Kong license is actually free domain) and countersued for damages, proving once and for all they would be the heavyweights in the gaming and entertainment industry.

** To put it into perspective, by ''VideoGame/MarioBros'', Donkey Kong's impact on Mario's background was forgotten, with Bowser taking over as Mario's nemesis, and Donkey Kong eventually retired and [[VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry completely forgot Mario was even involved in Donkey Kong's past(!)]], with only limited references, in the semi-canon ''VideoGame/MarioVsDonkeyKong'' games, to them ever meeting.

* Even with the above being true, it's hard not to give Mario's old nemesis some credit for being one of many {{Breakout Character}}s in the series. Granted, it's the grandson of the original, but it's something else to see the ape go from chucking barrels down buildings to braving an entire island to beat up anthropomorphic crocodiles. Some even consider the ''Donkey Kong Country'' games to be among the best on the SNES, even surpassing ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld'' in some eyes.
