Donkey Kong exists because of King Kong. Here's some reasons why:

1. When Miyamoto was developing the first DK Game, he gave Donkey Kong his name because of his interest in the King Kong films (which may have included KKvG), and because he imagined DK to be stubborn, like a Donkey.

2. The plot of Donkey Kong (1) is almost identical to the ending scenes of the original King Kong, but with a twist to make it more fun to play. (Kong climbs building with woman, hero must rescue woman).
