Not a bad quiz, but you missed some things.

There are 8 pokemon games, red, yellow, blue, gold, silver, crystal, stadium1(n64), stadium2(n64)

Donkey kong is diddy's uncle, not nephew as you suggest.

Shigsy also created the Pikmin, Link, Zelda, Ganon, Wario, and probably loads of other characters besides just DK.
