The Donkey Kong video game franchise is a series of video games that began with the release of the original Donkey Kong arcade game in 1981. The franchise centers around the adventures of a gorilla named Donkey Kong and his friends and family.

The original game, developed by Nintendo, featured a character named Jumpman (later renamed Mario) trying to rescue his girlfriend, Pauline, from Donkey Kong, who had escaped from his cage and was hurling barrels at Jumpman. The game was a huge success and helped establish Nintendo as a major player in the video game industry.

Over the years, the Donkey Kong franchise has evolved and expanded to include a wide range of games, from platformers like Donkey Kong Country to racing games like Diddy Kong Racing. The character of Donkey Kong has also undergone a number of changes, with different games featuring different versions of the character, including a more aggressive and villainous incarnation in Donkey Kong Country.

Overall, the Donkey Kong franchise has had a major impact on the video game industry, helping to establish many of the conventions and gameplay mechanics that are still used in platformer games today.
