I’m still chipping away at the 7.5+ hour Bananza endgame podcast but man, what a wonderful and heartfelt ride these listens have been. All the K. Rool bits, but also the full Kongversation series leading up to them, capturing the increasing surreality. Still floored this is a DK game that exists.
At long last, the Planet Core! In the longest #Kongversation ever, @altermentality.bsky.social and I reacquaint with the Kremling Krew, learn the origins of Us, and battle K. Rool to the edge of creation and back. Welcome to Donkey Kong Bananza's dramatic climax!

What lurks in the Forbidden Lair? Is it the Banandium Root? Void Kong? Or... something far crueler? @geekcritique.org joins me for a #Kongversation on Donkey Kong Bananza's penultimate world! Note: This episode only contains spoilers through the end of Sublayer 1500.

In honor of the (almost) eight hour Kongversation, here's some really cool #DKBananzaSpoilers design details you might have missed!
Starting off with the best shot of KAOS 2.0 I've gotten.
Did you notice the King rolls up and tucks his cape for flight mode too?

We did it.
We just broke through the long-prophesied five-hour mark on the #Kongversation.
And the sixth.
And the seventh.
The episode on the Donkey Kong Bananza finale will be just under EIGHT hours long. An audio feast fit for a king…

It's a bonus episode of the #Kongversation! @freezer.bsky.social is back to discuss our first thoughts on Yooka-Replaylee! The lizard and the bat have never played better, and the bees have never looked sharper, but are they enough to overcome the launch day bugs?

Shortly after we started recording the Kongversation, I began a new game of Donkey Kong Country.
I finished it, so I started DKC2.
I finished it, so I started DKC3.
That's how long we were going. It was a very important episode. xD

Get out. Go away. The next #Kongversation is off-limits. You shouldn't listen to it. @geekcritique.org and I will discuss Donkey Kong Bananza's Sublayer 1500. It's restricted. Leave.

Every time I'm on the Kongversation I worry I'm annoying but some people seem to like my belittling of Hyle.

We'll be slipping out a bonus #Kongversation episode this week where @freezer.bsky.social and I will discuss our first impressions of Yooka-Replaylee! Expanding on the DK Vine written review, we'll go a bit deeper into Playtonic's reimagining of the original Yooka-Laylee!

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.

Donkey Kong is at his lowest point, the victim of a biased criminal justice system. Can he earn his freedom, regain the Jungle Beat, and teach these uptight townsfolk how to dance? The #Kongversation gets footloose with special co-host @pyrrhickong.bsky.social on our next Bananza episode!

If you would like to call in, I will be talking about Donkey Kong's gross mistreatment by the oppressive forces of the government that tries him based on circumstantial evidence. And disco! It's a pleasure and honor to be able to appear on the Kongversation, I hope y'all enjoy!

Shedding light (and snake skin) on Bananza, @joycontent.gay joins the #Kongversation! Face turns abound while DK & Pauline bound, but will their bond be the radiance extinguished in the end? Note: This episode only contains spoilers through the end of Sublayer 1204.

Who can help me shed some light on Donkey Kong Bananza's 12th world? I'll be joined by @joycontent.gay on the next #Kongversation to discuss Sublayers 1200 to 1204! We'll have an illuminating chat about the final Bananza form, Underground World lore, and some pivotal moments in the game's narrative!
