His father yes. But the current one no (but he did appear as a villain in Mario vs Donkey Kong).
To clarify the above answer,there has been speculation amongst the fandom that Cranky Kong was the villain in Donkey Kong (Mario's first game).
Donkey Kong does play the role as villain in the Mario vs Donkey Kong series. However, he rarely appears in the Mario series other than the Mario Kart series, the Mario Party series and other Mario spin-off series. He never appears as a villain in any of those games.
Mario only ever appeared as the antagonist in Donkey Kong Junior.
Kritter is a character from the Donkey Kong series, which is why he's never been in a Mario Party game. The only Donkey Kong character in the Mario Party games is Donkey Kong himself.
