Status of Donkey Kong

[SuperZambezi]

With every Mario Party release, it seems like DK is being pushed out more and more. First he was made a space where he appeared on every board, then he hosted his single board in two games, and now in MP9 he again hosted his own board, but this one was unlockable. How do you think DK (and any other kong) will come into play in MP3DS? Or will this be the first game he is absent from?

I doubt he'll be absent. It just wouldn't feel like a true Mario Party without the existence of DK in it. I think he'll either host a board or just be there to counter Bowser. Hopefully Diddy Kong plays a role in Mario Party, though I would prefer Diddy Kong to be playable.

DK would probably either host or counter Bowser. He should be in regardless.

I'm just hoping that he becomes playable again.
DK's been sitting on the side for too long now, it's time to bring him back into the party!

...otherwise, he'll probably have to host yet another board with Diddy Kong... again...
Nintendo's never going to leave their favorite ape behind, though!

I don't know if DK would be playable or not, but to be honest I don't think he'll return as playable yet again in this.

BUT he's appeared in many Mario Party games recently, and I'm sure he'll come back.

Most likely he will be a host for his own map and having his own special mini-games, and diddy will be assisting him. This will be okay for me because I do not own a 3DS and if he make his return, I won' be able to play with him. However in MP10, he better be come playable or make another kong take his spot.  8)

I'd like to see him playable.
Diddy and Funky could play separate roles.
Diddy could be playable and Funky could host in place of Donkey.

No Funky Kong please. Ever. >.<

I actually don't mind Donkey Kong as a host because I really enjoy playing on jungle-type maps. I wouldn't say his role is decreasing though; even though he hasn't been playable for quite a few Mario Parties, he consistently has a significant role of either having his own space or being a host. However, I don't see any reason why he will be playable in Mario Party 3DS, but it's more than possible that he'll return as a playable character in Mario Party 10.

^It's unlikely.
He's got that laid-back personality.
It's not his fault he had a speed boost in Mario Kart Wii.

Donkey Kong's role certainly declined throughout the Mario Parties. From being playable, being absent completely (Mp Advance), and now just hosting his own board. I think Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong are going to be the only Kongs in all future Mario Parties.

I like to see him playable again, I know his fans would appreciate that. I don't want the Mario Party 3DS to exclude either him or his space. I liked the role he played in Mario Party DS's Story Mode, so if he isn't playable, DK should be in story mode in some way.

It's difficult to tell the what the developers will do with him next, it's possible to exclude him completely again or even make him playable again. It's just up to the developers, I find them unpredictable.

I agree with your post by 100%. You'll never know what would happen to Donkey Kong if we wait later on in the year.

Donkey Kong when it was playable, was very cool,  and I was a little angry that Nintendo quit him since Mario Party 6 officialy like playable.

You mean Mario Party 5? I'm still thinking to all of you here, that Donkey Kong could be having his own board on this game, so will Bowser.
