So Switch Online Pikmin 2 is going to offer online multiplayer while the HD Switch-native port doesn’t?

One thing that’s not talked about too much with this DKCR HD update is that they changed how the reserve Barrels work

Before, they came out as actual thrown barrels (so you could cheese kills in certain spots, a la DKCR 3D). Now, the Kong just automatically spawns (a la TF).

Why

WHY couldn’t they have made a line of Donkey Kong’s cast 😭

Donkey Kong realizing that he ages one day for every banana he collects and stops after eight before the minecart takes him straight to Hell.

How'd I fumble #Squawktober so badly this year? Simple. It wasn't part of the plan!

I struggled so much on whether to do another Squawktober or to give October to a different character this year, and midway through working on the latter, Squawks was announced for #DonkeyKongBananza.
A sketch of Tiny Kong sitting on a couch, using her ponytails to hold the TV remote and her drink. A sketch of both Lanky and Tiny Kongs, drawn in reference to a scene from the SpongeBob episode "Band Geeks." A sketch of Lanky and Chunky Kongs pointing at Tiny while inside of the Tag Barrel from DK64. A sketch of Tiny Kong getting ready to confront Crash Bandicoot, in reference to the promo art where Crash's "Tiny Tiger" character does the same thing.

The 6th (and abruptly final) illustration I did for #Squawktober.

Who knew that even the Baby Squawks could make level traversing more fun? #Squawks #DiddyKong #DixieKong
A drawing of Dixie Kong, Diddy Kong, and two Animal Buddies in Quawks and Squawks. The latter two are drawn to mimic the style of the Baby Yoshis that are featured in 2D Mario games.

After Bananza I would love to see DK and the other Kongs taking on loads of enemies. I think “DK Warriors” would be a great future collab.

I think a Xenoblade Warriors spinoff would be amazing. The series lends itself really well to different weapons and movesets.

On the other hand, I understand if Monolith Soft fans wouldn't want even a single developer to focus on anything other than their next big RPG project.

#Squawktober drawing 5/??

Screenshot redraws might be one of my favorite things to draw.

These pics are from Friday. Coworkers set up a Happy Bday balloon banner and someone even got me a nice DK lunch bag as a gift!
My cubicle, full of my Donkey Kong paraphernalia, with “Happy Birthday” balloons hanging over it. A DK barrel lunch bag.

"Ya-Banana-Doo!"

#SquawkstheParrot #Mario #SuperMario #DonkeyKong #DonkeyKongBananza #TheFlintstones
A drawing that parodies the intro of the Flintstones animated series. Mario is in his builder outfit, Squawks the Parrot is taking the place of the bird that acts as the worker's alarm, and Donkey Kong is turf-surfing on a rock in place of Fred Flintstone sliding down the dinosaur's tail.

A drawing of Squawks the Parrot and Winky the Frog from Donkey Kong Country. Both characters are positioned on a play stage with Winky drawn in a way that parodies the Looney Tunes' "Michigan J. Frog" character.

This bird has gotten SUPER busy in the last year! Everyone wants a piece of him now!

Working around Squawks's own schedule, every MONDAY, WEDNESDAY, and FRIDAY I'll be posting a drawing that features Squawks the Parrot from Donkey Kong, as a part of "Squawktober."
