Assuming the Kongs are mountain gorillas (I mean come on, they must be, we have DK mountain) they have an average life span of 53 years. Cranky Kong, DK's rather irritable grandfather, is said to be the original Donkey Kong making Donkey Kong junior DK's father (stop me if all the Donkey Kong's are confusing). As mountain gorillas have a mating age of 8 years, and assuming that DK Junior, DK's father, is about 3 at the time of DK Junior (the game) DK was born at least 5 years, if not longer, after DK Junior (the game).
DK is all grown up in the current games, so he must be at least 10 years old. Add this all together an you get there being about 15 years between DK Junior and the newer games such as the Mario-Minis series. Now, I can't find Mario's age in the original Donkey Kong game, but I would say he must be around 30. Add 15 and he's about 45 years old.

Mario is 38 years old and in terrific shape.

For use in his arcade game Donkey Kong, he created a character named Jumpman, who previously went under other names, such as Mr. Video, and originally, Ossan (the Japanese term for middle-aged man)[1].

Due to an ambiguous description of the geography of Planet Popstar, it is never made entirely clear how much of the planet King Dedede assumes leadership of, though he seems to have castles and fortresses all across the planet. Even so, he seems to perform no administrative functions, and for the most part, the planet seems to ignore any edicts that are issued by him.

No this isn't even true anymore.

The current answer is the Kongs are related but nobody knows how, they just are.

What even diddy and Dixie? They're a whole different species. What the gently caress is going on in that family.
