Donkey Kong Codexery — Data & Quality

We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

This is a fiction/fan codex: entries describe an in-universe canon. Our audits check canon and internal consistency — external fact-checking does not apply the way it does on real-subject codexes.

Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Diddy Kong — Diddy Kong debuted as a sidekick/second player in Donkey Kong Country, not as a co-protagonist on equal billing with Donkey Kong.

Diddy Kong — Diddy Kong's debut in the Super Smash Bros. series was in Melee (2001), not Brawl (2008).

Cranky Kong — The entry incorrectly states Cranky was not an antagonist to Donkey Kong Jr., contradicting the original Donkey Kong Jr. (1982) game where he acted as the captor/antagonist holding Pauline hostage against his son.

Cranky Kong — The entry falsely claims Cranky was never a circus performer, ignoring established lore from the original 1981 Donkey Kong manual which identifies him as an escaped circus ape.

Kremlings — King K. Rool does not kidnap Dixie Kong in Donkey Kong 64 as she does not appear in that game.

Cranky Kong Origins — The encyclopedia entry incorrectly claims Donkey Kong Jr. (1982) was the first game developed without outside help; the original Donkey Kong (1981) was also developed internally by Nintendo, making DK Jr. not the 'first' in this regard.

Barrel Blast — The entry incorrectly states there are 16 playable characters; the actual roster consists of 14 characters (8 Kongs and 6 Kremlings).

Barrel Blast — The entry inaccurately lists a total of 14 tracks across various themes, whereas the game actually contains only 8 courses with a different distribution per theme.

Snowmad's Crew Invasion — The entry claims Wrinkly Kong appeared as a ghost in Donkey Kong 64 after dying since Donkey Kong Country 3, but she actually debuted as a ghost in Donkey Kong Country 3.

Crystal Caves — The entry states that no factual content about Crystal Caves can be generated but then invents a location with stats, lore, and gameplay hazards that have no basis in source material or established Donkey Kong canon.

Angry Aztec — The entry incorrectly cites musician King Krule as source material instead of Donkey Kong Country Returns.

Angry Aztec — The entry claims the Tiki Tak Tribe did not directly control traps, contradicting canon where they hypnotically control enemies and hazards via masks.
