I have evidence that they are different.

First off, Cranky Kong is the original Donkey Kong.

The new Donkey Kong, like the one in Mario Kart, is Crankt's grandson. This means Mario Kart happened ~20-30 years after the original Donkey Kong.

Second, in Mario Vs Donkey Kong 2, the Peach toy is closer to Baby Peach than regular Peach! Is Peach just a baby? If so, shouldn't Mario be one too? Why isn't he?

Third, why has Peach and Pauline never been seen together, in person? Like, EVER?

Fourth, Jumpman DIES in Donkey Kong Jr. Yet, due to the original Donkey Kong still being around, and not Cranky Kong, this must be before Mario Kart. But wait, Mario's supposed to be dead! What's he doing in Mario Kart?

There're not the same.
