Theory: Donkey Kong Creates Robots

Abstract
Donkey Kong created the Monkey Robots and Mini Donkey Kongs from the Mario vs. Donkey Kong series.

Arguments

 * Argument 1:The Monkey Robots and Mini Donkey Kongs made their first and most prominent appearance in Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis. In that game’s manual, it’s stated that since the events of the first Mario vs. Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong has become an employee of the Mini Mario Toy Company, which would give him the perfect opportunity to develop these new toys.


 * Argument 2: Throughout the Mario vs. Donkey Kong series, Donkey Kong uses the Monkey Robots to hinder the Mini Marios’ progress. This, paired with the fact that many of the Monkey Robots are clearly based on Kongs with red ties implies a connection to Donkey Kong himself.


 * Argument 3: The manual for Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem refers to Circus Kongs as “one type of Donkey Kong’s robots”.
