Considering the Donkey Kong board

Actually, that whole description should be scrapped (cause Mario and Donkey Kong were trying to kill each other in their first appearance) and replaced by something like "Mario's first nemesis, and the titular character of Mario's first video game" or something like that.
"Mario's first best friend"...
Well, going in a sort of timeline (can't think of the exact term), Mario and Donkey Kong would have first met during the events of Yoshi's Island DS. In which, they didn't show traits of being "best friends", but in the same aspect, none of the babies really showed any relationship with one another. So the debatable part of DK being Mario's "first best friend" is fine.
Nonetheless, if you want correct grammar in the description, I'd go for switching "first" with "original".

The whole description just sounds lame though. We should change it...perhaps even to "Without Donkey Kong, there wouldn't be Mario" or something like that.
Not that I am a member of Userpedia, but the music description appears kind of offensive and in bad taste, as it is discriminatory towards Deaf people.
Okay, now that's just being a dick.LarryTheCableGuy27 said:
Anyway, yeah, I agree that the "Mario's first best friend" description should be changed, because as Son of Suns said, it isn't very accurate. They didn't show any signs of friendship whatsoever in Yoshi's Island DS, and they were at each others' throats in both the original Donkey Kong game and its remake, and not to mention the fact that Mario had him locked in a cage in Donkey Kong Jr.
...What's that supposed to mean? If you're trying to say that I'm ugly, then that made absolutely no sense for you to even say, considering the fact that you don't even know what I look like.
What am I wrong about, exactly? As far as I'm concerned, the things I stated in my previous post was factual information, things that actually took place in the games.
Okay, so if it's just the first Donkey Kong game we're talking about here, then that definitely proves the point of that statement being inaccurate, since they were clearly enemies in the game. That is, unless the "first best friend" statement was sarcasm.
Now, why couldn't that have been said from the very beginning? How was I (or many other people, for that matter) was supposed to know it was sarcasm? To me, it just looked like nothing more than false information. I had no way of confirming whether or not that was meant to be sarcastic.

But, anyways, Donkey Kong+ Mario = ENEMIES.[/color]No, you pointed out the fact that it was "up for debate". For a subject to be "up for debate", that means that it's a controversial subject (like Birdo's gender or whether or not Cranky Kong is the original Donkey Kong, for example). I read your posts (as well as all the others) on the previous page, and nowhere was that fact pointed out. I don't know what you're getting so riled up about.
