Donkey Kong is historically significant for two main reasons: one, it was Nintendo's first arcade "hit," and thus set the stage for the corporation's eventual domination of the video game industry; two, it was the first game to feature Mario.
Later that year Donkey Kong was also given new life in Donkey Kong Country, a Super NES title developed by the British company Rareware that would later evolve into a whole new hit franchise.
The star of Donkey Kong was known as "Jumpman" before Nintendo of America named the characters as part of the preparation for an American release.

Donkey Kong remains one of Nintendo's most recognizable characters, even after 25 years.

 ToyBox@theLogBook.com: Donkey Kong
Coleco's figures and the depictions of the characters in other merchandise were all drawn from Nintendo's artwork - the first indication that the video game manufacturer (and future rulers of the video game roost) had clear ideas on character merchandising and licensing.
The Donkey Kong tabletop was very similar in style to Coleco's Pac-Man tabletop, but the graphics (such as they were) and game play were simply atrocious.
Donkey Kong cartoons in various forms - ranging from a 1983 animated version as part of CBS's Saturday Morning Supercade block, to an all-CGI, Re-Boot-esque cartoon in the early 1990s - have kept the character in plain sight.

 The Essential 50 Part 11 -- Donkey Kong from 1UP.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Jumpman was unique in being a well-defined human character, something largely unseen in arcade games to that point; previous player avatars tended to be either primitive stick figures, simple vehicles of some sort, or oddball abstractions.
Donkey Kong was more than the cornerstone of Nintendo's arcade business; it also established the company as a leader in game design and franchising.
Character design has always been Rare's weakest suit; let's just hope Nintendo sees fit to give us back the classic DK look now that Rare is out of the picture.

 GamingWorld X - Donkey Konga (JPN) Review
Based on the Taiko games, and featuring a Donkey Kong-styled barrel conga, Donkey Konga follows the same basic formula of the genre: icons appear on screen indicating where to step or what to hit in time with the music.
Making Donkey Kong climb up ropes and grab fruit by controlling his arms with conga drums is something that I just have no desire to do.
Worse yet is Diddy Kong, who dances with about 6 frames of animation at the bottom of the screen.

 Urban Legends Reference Pages: Business (Donkey Wrong)
Why exactly the giant ape is called "Donkey Kong" is a mystery, although I heard one story that sounds plausible: The original arcade game, designed in Japan, was supposed to be called "Monkey Kong," but somebody misspelled it and the name stuck.
Confusing "donkey" and "monkey" could hardly be considered a "translation mistake" (especially since they're two quite different animals whose names aren't the least bit similar in Japanese).
The word "donkey" is, given a poor grasp of english idiom, the opposite of the word "king" (etymology: donkey — ass — fool; fool is traditionally the opposite of king).
