Summary

[edit]
Non-free media information and use rationale true for Donkey Kong (character)
Description

Official character artwork for Donkey Kong in Mario vs. Donkey Kong.

Source

Promotional artwork distributed by Nintendo for Mario vs. Donkey Kong. Sourced from Super Mario Wiki.

Article

Donkey Kong (character)

Portion used

Entire image, as it is being used to illustrate the appearance and features of the character as a whole. Therefore, a partial image would be inadequate for its stated purpose.

Low resolution?

The copy is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification, but of significantly inferior quality to the original that it would be unsuitable for use as artwork on pirate merchandise or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original artwork.

Purpose of use

For use in the infobox of the article dedicated to character, to show the character in a recognizable form. The image forms a core part of both the article's identity and the commentary on the character, a function which cannot be performed with text alone.

Replaceable?

No, since it is an image of a character whose copyright is believed to belong to Nintendo, no free alternative of similar quality could possibly exist.

The previous version was angled in a way that didn't highlight Donkey Kong's tie (an iconic aspect of his design) and the frozen banana only applies to one game, rather than the series as a whole.
