So, every once in a while, mostly in the RPGs, we get a Kong that is not Donkey Kong showing up. First there was these guys in Super Mario RPG:  Then there was this guy in Mario & Luigi:  There was almost this guy in Yoshi's Island:  There's been a lot, really. It's interesting to see where these guys pop up. |

This is my favourite thing. One of the drone Kongs in SMRPG has a name that in Japanese is a visual pun on Donkey Kong, and his Psychopath text is something like "Don't confuse me for someone else!"
What about the DK Jr clones in the audience of Double Dash, or the Diddy-like monkeys in Mario Kart Arcade GP? Good stuff.

He also seems to have some sort of tribal leadership position with relation to the Grinders in Yoshi's Island DS, though I may just be reading too much into things there. Still though, between that and the cut DK Grinder enemy, you start to wonder what exactly their relationship is there. Given that the Grinders have undergone several name changes in recent games and have been homogenized with the Ukikis, I wonder if one could conflate the Party Monkeys in there as well and proclaim them one big Kong-subservient species...
