They explain all of this in the SNES games. Cranky is the original DK. His son (or possibly grandson) is the new DK, Diddy is DK's cousin, and in Donkey Kong Country 3 there's a new DK jr.
Diddy Kong is not DK's cousin, they're either best friends or Diddy is his nephew. & Kiddy Kong is not related to DK nor is he the new DK Jr... Kiddy is Dixie's cousin.

He was "a one off character" in the same sense that "Cranky Kong" (ie a newer version of the original DK) or "Candy Kong" were. Because Nintendo didn't immediately greenlight a trilogy, they told Rare to make a "Super Donkey Kong" game to keep their properties fresh or something; then Rare did such an amazing job that they went on to make three direct sequels. The reason DK himself doesn't appear in the second or third game is because he's Shigeru Miyamoto's character. And Mr. Miyamoto apparently hated the game because it was too heavily focused on graphics or something, and there was some sort of intense internal rivalry going on.
In the original dk jr was supposed to be the father of our current dk. The timeline goes in the donkey kong arcade game the donkey kong would later grow to be cranky. He had a kid dk jr who then had a son who is our current dk with the tie

Yea but it does set up a interesting tale for a potential sequel either Cranky is too old to remember like in DK 64 or DK Jr passed whilst DK III was still young
Honestly it's so sad seeing Donkey Kong Jr, one of the most classic Nintendo icons, falling into obscurity like that. Replacing him for a brand new character back in 1994 was such a heinous choice. It's like if Nintendo decided to replace Luigi for some bland hip character when Super Mario World was in development.
DK JR is in Mario Kart Tour. It's not a fully 3D appearance-- they just use his sprites from the original Super Mario Kart, but it acknowledges that DK Jr still exists and is his own character. It's clear that DK Jr straight up doesn't exist in the film universe, but I hope we get to see DK JR reappear in some Mario or DK games soon.
See this really hits home for me. Because I'm a gen xer and I remember donkey Kong Junior having his own cartoon. Used to go on adventures with his friends looking for his dad, donkey Kong who Mario had captured. But I really like how they showed how donkey Kong Junior got older. When I used to watch donkey Kong Junior cartoon in 1982, he was so small. He was about the size of Diddy Kong
I kinda agree he could’ve had more time but I was happy to see him at all because I love Diddy, and he has room to grow since he was depicted as so young.
Fun fact. In Diddy Kong racing (You remember those little demo vhs tapes they used to have for nintendo?) They actually had some old characters on levels that didn't make it. For the games that never came to be.
