The results are in! Although the voting sample is appallingly low...
  1. Son of Donkey Kong Jr. (a.k.a. Donkey Kong the Third) Votes: 7 (46.7%)
  2. Grown-up Donkey Kong Jr. Votes: 6 (40.0%)
  3. Other (please specify) Votes: 2 (13.3%)

It seems that the common idea that the current Donkey Kong being an original Kong introduced in Donkey Kong Country is popular, edging out of how Rare's guys envisioned Donkey Kong to be: a grown-up Junior. This is despite the fact that it's commonly stated that Donkey Kong is the grandson of Cranky Kong even in Nintendo's own games (as in, after Rare became part of Microsoft), so I guess even the original owners can't convince fans of certain details. I kind of regret putting "Other (please specify)" since I did not see any replies that specify a possible third possibility for the current Donkey Kong, so I suppose from now on, the "please specify" option will be omitted due to a lack of replies that made clear what the other choices are.

This next poll will be about Toad's voice. Ever since Super Mario Advance, Toad had this raspy voice that a lot of people took notice because it sounded pretty much unlike any other voice at that time, compared to his more generically high-pitched voice he used in the Nintendo 64 games. It didn't help that Toad made this sound a lot, but still, some people appreciate his strange voice choice. What do you think? Poll change might take a moment.

Thank you for reading.
 
Oh, you know my opinion on the raspy Toad voice. It's perfection. It spawned a bunch of YouTube videos where people try singing in Toad's voice.

Centuries of development in the musical arts has led to Toad Sings Chandelier and I'm proud of our generation of humans for achieving that.
 
ngl the modern toad voice did sound obnoxious at times (mario advance for example) but that was more in earlier appaerances and even that was ok. nowadays its way more softer and pleasing to listen to and the raspiness do be pretty unique! ok so basically i love it
 
I felt like I heard Toad for the first time in Super Mario Advance, and I thought it was fitting back then since I assumed that that was always his voice. Although I now know that it wasn't always like that, especially in the Nintendo 64 games, I grew to appreciate how unique Toad's voice is, because it's rare to purposefully give characters a high-pitched raspy voice without making it too annoying. Plus, a lot of people are inspired to sing as Toad, which is very funny because of how difficult it is to take his voice seriously, especially if there is a tonal dissonance.
