Ok I gotta ask, what is Super Donkey Kong? Do you mean Donkey Kong Country 1 and 2? Which was developed by a European part of Nintendo (at the time)?

Prepare for termination! It is the only logical thing to do, for I am only loyal to Megatron.

Donkey Kong Country 2 (SNES) - 2.21 million /RARE Inc.
Donkey Kong Kountry 3 (SNES) - 1.77 million /RARE Inc.
Crash Bandicoot 3 (PS) - 1.45 million /Naughty Dog Software

It's only Donkey Kong and Crash Bandicoot there, RARE and Naughty Dog, no other company has ever achieved to get close to a million.

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.
