Everyone is discussing Donkey Kong and the notion of “Donkey Kong lore” lately. Don’t be afraid. You’ve taken your first step into a larger world. Yes, Donkey Kong has a wonderfully rich mythology. Allow us to guide you.

First, Diddy Kong Racing and how DK is (still) part of Rare’s shared universe!

One night, I dreamed I was walking along processed American cheese with the Kong.

During my low periods, I could see only one set of
footprints. "Why, Kong, have you not been there for me?"

The Kong replied, "The times when you have seen only one set
of footprints, Pauline, is when I carried you."
Donkey Kong carries Pauline across a partially melted slice of processed American cheese, leaving behind only one set of footprints. Inspirational screenshot from Donkey Kong Bananza.

2/5 If anyone reading this has been actively waiting during the month since this one was posted, I can confirm there's finally movement on the remaining three videos again after I initially hit a wall trying to "decipher" the lyrics to "Ostrich" and "Elephant Bananza." ❤️

Rather than disowning all of them, I'll just blame Tate.

Going to use that line in the show.

I thought it was a Squeekly or Flipflap, and I about flipped my flaps when I realized what it was.

If they don't spend 30 hours in Racing Layer examining every angle of Diddy and Dixie's new designs, they're playing Donkey Kong Bananza incorrectly.

The Idaho Crew infiltrates a possibly illegal but definitely underground animal racing cartel at 8 PM ET/5 PM PT. Who are the unethical ringleaders forcing endangered rhinos (street name: Rambis) to duke it out for an audience of minors? Excuse me. That's supposed to be miners.

From the beat to the Meat! You must be THIS tall to ride the next episode of the #Kongversation. That's because we'll be discussing the thrills, chills, and spills (Muck, Melty Cheese) of Donkey Kong Bananza's Feast Layer! The Idaho Crew's Andrew will be on hand to keep the Potato facts accurate.

Oh, for sure. Forest Interlude is right up there, and I completely agree with your analysis. I think the slightly surreal landscape that accompanies Stickerbush is why it personally hits harder for me. It feels like something out of a dream, or a distant memory.

Language is fluid, and that just means everyone will talk like me in 30 years.

The worst world in Donkey Kong Bananza is the real world when I turn off the game.

Does it make me incredibly basic to say Stickerbush Symphony? Because it's Stickerbush Symphony. It's the first time a piece of music, be it in a video game or otherwise, made me feel several emotions simultaneously. A wildly contemplative piece while you're dodging giant wasps and pirate vultures.
