I like animation, video games, anime, great fan-art, the usual.
@dkvine.com “Mario Kart DS” is officially 20 years old. You know, the entry that gave us DK Pass (which came back in a big way 20 years later), the Rambi Rider (which is my favorite kart in that game), and…………whatever THIS was.🙃. (Oh, and for some reason, R.O.B. was an unlockable driver.)

@dkvine.com on the subject of the Nintendo Super Star Store at “Epic Universe”, I was at the right place at the right time to listen to the “Funky’s Fugue” remix in there. Someone just gave me the idea of video recording the audio recording from another device so here it is.😁

@dkvine.com @altermentality.bsky.social @kroolkountry.bsky.social @expanddong64.bsky.social @camreigle.bsky.social @thecartoongamer.bsky.social @theogsxips.bsky.social Happy 20th anniversary to this remake hitting the states! I still have the cartridge to play whenever I like & even the box.😁

Despite having so much health and apple juice, I STILL DIED. Thankfully, it was only once because I learned from my mistakes and overcame his “Halloween Form”. Also, I said all of K. Roll’s dialogue in the game in Benedict Campbell’s voice (in the cartoon) because I couldn’t help myself.😂

Like K. Rool, New Donk City was kinda spoiled via YouTube thumbnail but again, I didn’t know the context, and the context I saw was absolutely INSANE. Plus, when I blasted into that arena, I randomly said “Are we gonna drop spotlights on him?” (which sadly didn’t happen).

Armies were an even BIGGER surprise to me (I literally said “ARMIES!”.) because they appeared in the very first DKC, f**ked off for 30+ years (if you don’t count “Conker’s Pocket Tales”), and just came back HERE just because. Turns out not all of them went extinct or turned into fossils.😄

Kabooms were a huge surprise to me! They looked exactly like they were in DKC2 except their TNT barrels were spiky now. Interesting this is the ONLY DKC2 rep in here.

Me upon seeing Zingers: “ZINGERS! I never thought I’d be happy to see them again!🥹”

Klaptraps were the least surprising return but I was still glad to see them. They’ve become pretty established as a staple in the DK series for me. Plus, I was able to see them in that “Gator Golf”-looking armor. Seriously, I cannot unsee that without thinking of what I once had a a kid.😂😂😂

I kinda zoned out when I got to this part and was like “Wait. Was I seeing things or did I just see the name, Necky Skyway?” and when I saw one, I said “NECKIES!!!😃”. I always loved these crazy vultures and THAT’S when I was like “Oh my god. WHAT AM I GONNA SEE NEXT?”.

I finished listening today. I am so glad I went into the Planet Core COMPLETELY fresh. When I saw those green hands on the “Crocoids”, I HAD to approach them. I was ecstatic when I saw the Kritter but I was taken aback when I heard that “OUGH!”. I stopped there and went to bed till the next day.

@dkvine.com @kroolkountry.bsky.social @altermentality.bsky.social @expanddong64.bsky.social @daleykong.bsky.social @thecartoongamer.bsky.social @pyrrhickong.bsky.social I would’ve bought this at any Universal store but I did so at “Funky’s Fly’n’Buy” because it felt right.👌

I actually heard a remix of the theme when I was in this store at Epic Universe yesterday.😁

@dkvine.com Don’t mind me. Just celebrating my 32th birthday in my natural habitat.😄 “Minecart Madness” was the first thing I did with my “Express Pass” so I zoomed past the normal and even (sadly) Cranky & Squawks). It was janky and fast most of the time but it is on brand for those type of levels.

@dkvine.com Guess where I’m next door to.😜
October 26, 2025 at 6:27 PM
Okay, I’m just gonna show him.😂. When I saw this bit of dialogue, I was like “So THAT’S why he’s/they’ve been gone for so long!”. It works so well in a meta-textual sense as well. The fact the developers even went out of their way to tie such massive loose end in the DK series is COMMENDABLE.👏👏👏👏

So when I saw THAT angle of the “root”, I immediately knew what it was. It was unmistakable and when that eye opened up, I was like “THERE HE IS.” and it was pretty funny to see Void Kong get smacked to oblivion just like that.😂

@stephaniesheh.bsky.social Guess who I met over the weekend!😆🥰. Not only that but I was as there for her concert where she sang songs from “Belle” & “The Colors Within” and even an original song of her own. It was WORTH it.😭😭🙏🙏

I was actually spoiled by this layer’s existence via concept art (which featured pizza but it wasn’t in the final game) prior to the game’s release and I was hoping it stayed in and I was so happy when I finally landed there.😄
