Is Donkey Kong good or evil?

The original Donkey Kong is now known as Cranky Kong, I wouldn't say he's exactly a bad guy but he's well known for being stealing Pauline and getting King K.Rool to steal the bananna hoard again in Donkey Kong Land as he is jealous of Donkey Kong.

The newer Donkey Kong is the grandson of Cranky Kong as mentioned in Super Smash Bros Brawl, he is possible the son of Donkey Kong Jr. Overall he is a good guy however much like his grand father he has been prone to throwing tantrums such as the ones seen in some of the march of the mini's game/s.
