Pretty sure DK scales to Mario by virtue of being a Star Child and because the Mario cast are more ofren than not equals with minute advantages over the others in terms of stats.

Plus, DK is repeatedly noted as strong in Mario lore and rivaling Bowser and Wario, who also both happen to be Star Children.
