All the gratuitous violence in Bananza had me thinking... Wouldn't be MONDO COOL if I combined a 90's Capcom style fighting game with Donkey Kong?! Let's call it "Donkey Kong: Jungle Rumble"! A girl can dream...

Pauline sits upon Donkey Kong’s shoulders in the Racing Layer (Sublayer 1100) of the Underground World.

Pauline: “‘Rambi Rumble’? That sounds fun.”

Rambi the rhino gets eviscerated by King Zing, an enormous Zinger (a hybrid of a wasp/hornet and honeybee) in the beehive level called Rambi Rumble. Screenshot from Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy’s Kong Quest.

This is pretty bog standard Nintendo YouTuber slop, to borrow a phrase. The bright side is, Nintendo most certainly considers Donkey Kong Bananza “a BIG Game,” even if these mystifyingly-click-getting users don’t!

Day 109 of #DonkeyKong art and #DKBananzaSpoilers
A couple weeks back, some friends were drawing K. Rool from memory; to me this is easier than breathing, so I had to challenge myself a bit.
I got a few minor details wrong but overall this came out pretty accurate.
#AltersDoodleTag

The King of Rot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The details I got wrong were: he has a jagged "pants hem" above his belt, the emblem on his belt buckle has a circular mane of bananas in addition to being goopy, the "cracks" or zigzags on his belly also extend over his chest

Pauline, meet Diddy and Dixie Kong! DK's present realigns with his past in Donkey Kong Bananza's Racing Layer, and the #Kongversation takes no shortcuts when discussing this historic reunion! Note: This episode only contains spoilers through the end of Sublayer 1100.

The key art to the Kongversation's "Donkey Kong Bananza: Sublayer 1100" episode. Diddy and Dixie Kong ride a rhino, colloquially referred to as a Rambi, as they race against Donkey Kong (also on a rhino) in the Rambi Rumble stampedeway.

Internet contrarians: “I don’t want [REDAKTED] to come back because then we can’t have cool new villains in Donkey Kong’s rogues gallery.”

Bananza team: “Hold my Apple Juice.”

Pyrr @pyrrhickong.bsky.social · 16d

The Donkey Kong series has had one villain who gets celebrated (and also Wizpig sometimes). I love that guy, but I want to give the new villain flowers, too! Have a new video on how Void Kong establishes, differentiates, and forces himself as a great new villain to compliment Bananza's themes!

“Go play Bananza” is unironically going to be my response to those people

“Where is the new 3D Mario”
Go play Bananza

“I want Odyssey 2”
Go play Bananza

There’s literally a 3D platformer, made by the Odyssey team sitting there waiting for you. It just stars a monkey instead of a bing bing wahoo.

Reecee 🎃 @reecee.bsky.social · 16d

I will not hear anyone out who is begging for a new 3D Mario right now unless they’ve 100%ed Bananza three times.

You know those stats on how people spend weeks or months of their lives waiting at stoplights? My crazy cumulative life figure is going to end up being time spent listening to all the various Gangplank Galleon remixes 🎧
