#Sonictober2025 Day 8! Theme: Monstrous. Shadow’s never really considered being a “monster” as something to be proud of, but when his friends rope him into a holiday celebrating just that, maybe he can find a newfound appreciation for it (and free candy)?

Thanks so much to Cathy Cavadini for the voice comission.

Also at somepoint I will make a full on video about my passion for K Rool and the impact he has had on me since 2012 etc.

The amount of validation when Cranky dialogue is in the post game says he was chasing k Rool

They did him so well, Void Kong was still a falsehood just like his journey to the west counter part the six eared macaque.

Mario party 4, Yoshi Island on gba, and Super Mario advance

I felt a lot of these things were like super dead giveaways that k Rool was 100% in, but I had so many people on different socials saying I was coping etc when I’m reality they were coping.

I think it’s like you said meta wise, the crocodile imagery is strong, but I think he still fills the role to parallel of the demon bull king did to sun wukong as DK despite him not being fully a bull, he does represent Buddhism really well tho K Rool in game

Sxips @theogsxips.bsky.social · 1d

I think K.Rool still is the stand in for the demon bull king, I think the journey to the west theory still holds up.

To be fair treasure chests to lead into the Kremling pirate nature, and given how the Kritters talk in the tablet dialogue in Planet Core.

Sxips @theogsxips.bsky.social · 1d

Yup I believe the Kremlings left a lot of those supplies behind.

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.

HEY KIDS WANNA HEAR ME YAP FOR FOUR HOURS ABOUT AN HOUR-LONG LAYER OF DONKEY KONG BANANZA?

Was an absolutely delightful time pontificating on tonal changes and character development in funny platform games! Put it on your device of choice! I slander the Great Harmoneel live on air, repeatedly!

The #Kongversation is joined by @pyrrhickong.bsky.social to harmonize discussion on Bananza's 13th world! Lost, alone, and incarcerated, how will Donkey Kong get his groove back? Note: This episode only contains spoilers through the end of Sublayer 1300.

The key art to the Kongversation's "Donkey Kong Bananza: Sublayer 1300" episode. Donkey Kong lies on the floor behind a Fractone jail cell as two guards with spears stand on either side.

King K.Rool new DK Brand design actually works off Donkey Kong's new design, as it builds off the previous foundation in Smash Ultimate that the two are rivals paralleling each other, Espically how now K.Rool loves Rotten Bananas to yang DK's love of fresh Bananas.

Sxips @theogsxips.bsky.social · 2d

Let's also not forget many of enemy designs playing of King K.Rool design elements as well.

Sxips @theogsxips.bsky.social · 2d

Also alot of the pick up items such as the crates, barrels, and even the propeller rope crates also alluded The Kremlings of some sort, given how the Kremlings initially travelled underneath the surface to find the Root, so these crates could be left them during their venture..

Sxips @theogsxips.bsky.social · 2d

And no gamefaq gooners or any other goal post mover, King K.Rool's appearance or the plot twist wasn't out of nowhere, the game foreshadows alot about Rool, given the Crockoids, Cranky's Rant's, and the game even foreshadows like how Mario Odyssey did.

Although already the Donkey Kong Brand was already gearing up to be pushed as a big IP again at Nintendo, King K.Rool ballot performance was an eye opener that RARE's legacy on the DK IP should be respected and represented just as strong as the arcade era.

Sxips @theogsxips.bsky.social · 2d

First off prior before Bananza began development, King K.Rool was revived thru fan passion all across fourms over the world with the help of the Smash Ballot during the Smash Wii U era which led to his revival in Super Smash Bros Ultimate, thru the help of
