Separate franchises =/= Crossover if the they started from the same series. DK was always with Mario, had his own games, comes back again. It's not a crossover.
You saying it's not a crossover over and over doesn't make it true. The games are literally classified as such.

Donkey Kong™ just made off with all the Mini-Mario toys, and now it's up to Mario™ to chase his long-time nemesis and retrieve the stolen goods.

Leap and battle through increasingly difficult levels as you use switches, conveyor belts, hammers, and more to overcome the hordes of enemies that block your way.

You need brawn...and brains! Figure out the best path, then break out new Mario moves like the handstand to track down keys, collect gifts, and navigate perilous platforms across barrels of levels.

Before battling Donkey Kong at the end of each world, collect all the Mini-Marios and lead them to safety!

Nice to know Nintendo never stated it was a crossover.
 
I mean, this is like saying that Rabbids aren't canon to Rayman only because they became their own franchise later on. Canons don't work like that, if both started as the same verse, and there's plenty of consistency to it, yeah, they should just scale, they even have a better scaling situation than Waluigi overall.
 
Obviously my stance is that we remove the keys and that anyone who has reason to scale (basically not Lanky and Tiny) should scale.
 
Still need a mod to unlock Wario and DK's page. Everyone else (Diddy, K. Rool, Shake King, etc) is unlocked so those will be scaled to their respected characters. Still keep in mind characters like Lanky, Tiny, or others from the WarioWare series will not be scaled.
 
It's undoubtedly uncontroversial for Donkey Kong to scale from the main Mario cast, and one could argue for some more prominent DK crew members such as Diddy Kong to be considered in their leagues. People like Tiny Kong and Lanky Kong would also be in their leagues as they're comparable Diddy and Dixie. And I know Kiddy is as strong as DK with Chunky being even stronger as far as DKC is concerned.

DKC is definitely the same verse as the Mario Bros, but the feats often shown are lacking despite a lot of characters being seen as almost as strong as DK. Obviously, I'd like to see the keys get merged, but it's just often too difficult to convince; can't really force other staff members. So it seems safest to have DK keep his Donkey Kong | Mario Bros keys.
 
But several of them including a few spin offs do; Yoshi games, Mario 64, Galaxy games, the RPGs, ect all have some Tier 4 feats. Wario even have one Tier 2 feat, but none of the DKC games have tier 4 feats and it has several Tier 6 feats.
 
Mmm... I guess they could just go like "At least 6-B, likely 4-A".
Separating the keys as if the 4-A end is "composite-only" isn't really applicable when they aren't composites in the first place (Plus they aren't allowed anymore), so at worst they should be merged like above.

BTW, the site update made Mario's gallery on his profile look awful, it needs some reformatting.
