If Cranky Kong is Donkey Kong's grandfather (making him Donkey Kong III) then what happened to DK's father, Donkey Kong Jr.?

He would only be Donkey Kong III if Cranky Kong's name were Donkey Kong and Cranky Kong's son were also named Donkey Kong. As it is, Donkey Kong's grandfather is Crank Kong, not Donkey Kong, so Donkey Kong could only be Donkey Kong Jr (if his father were named Donkey Kong), but we don't know what Donkey Kong's father's name was.

According to Nintendo Cranky Kong is the original Donkey Kong (who presumably only became cranky kong in later life because he is so grumpy)and we know DK Jr. is his son. He mentions being the current DK's grandfather on multiple occasions so we know that DK Jr. is his father unless cranky had another child we dont know about. So he is DK III.

Not a DK expert (neve played a DK game before actually :( ) But didn't Nintendo actually say that Donkey K 1 changed his name to Cranky BasedGod?
