Oh yeah, I forgot. Deepest lore

Can anyone else see two different images in this pic?

1. Donkey Kong with his hands on the steering wheel
2. Donkey Kong with his hands positioned behind his head, like he just don’t care.

The second image is harder to see but his hands can look like a shirt, and his ear can look like one of his hands if you focus on his upper arms, particularly his ear.

 

[Darkkahn]

Oh wow! You're absolutely wrong. There is no second DK here.

It’s the same DK, it depends on where you focus.

I honestly looked at that pic way too long, I don't see it personally

The second version looks like this.

Don’t look at the steering wheel area, just arms and ear.

DK Jr's son is the current DK. Cranky is current DK's grandfather.

Now I see it and can't unsee it, even looks like he has a red tie on tucked in

 

[rodrigolfp]

Derp Kong.

Shame the threads got merged, thought that was more interesting/fun than a lot of the other threads, but ah well.

It's gonna be wild if Nintendo actually develop a DK platformer (be it 3D or 2D) in-house in Japan. The last time that happened was Donkey Kong for the GameBoy, afaik.

Donkey Kong 94 was developed by Pax Softnica, and Donkey Kong Jungle Beat on GameCube was actually the last one to be developed by NCL over 20 years ago.

[Carton]

It looks like a Donkey Kong balloon at a kid’s birthday party.

 

[Roman Empire]

Unremarkable. Previous DK design looks better.

 

[Complistic]

Terrifying, but ultimately who cares really.

was Jungle Beat a platformer? I always thought it was some kind of rhythm game.

It 100% is, you're confusing it with the Donkey Konga games that also used the DK Bongos.
Funnily enough, I missed the 'platformer' part on your post, and yet DKJB happened to be one.

Donkey Konga was the rhythm game. Jungle Beat was a platformer that just happened to use the bongos for controls. It was a little odd, but a ton of fun. The Wii control version was pretty good too.

 

[Hookshot]

He haunted my dreams last night

 

[Banjo64]

If it is Donkey Kong, I actually hate it. The TF DK design is great. He looks like he has dead eyes now.

 

[rkofan87]

trash

TF respected DKC Donkey. MK9 DK just feels disrespectful, same with Mario movie. smh

 

[neocycle]

Don't like it at all.

 

[Sooner]

It looks derptacular.

 

[John Bilbo]

I don't like it.

 

[MiguelItUp]

I'm gonna miss the Rare look for sure, but it still looks cool from what I could tell, lol.

Then I stand corrected.

 

[keefged4]

I hope its DK Junior and not a new design for DK. It's awful.

 

[DAHGAMING]

Looks abit queeosexual if you ask me.

 

[drganon]

Looks like shit.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

I hate that Donkey kong design.

reminds me the Retard Seth Rogen.

Me cag... Ese diseño.

DK jr is now DK. Cranky is the original DK from donkey Kong.

The relation between Crank and Donkey Kong has always flip flopped between Cranky being Donkey Kong's father or grandfather. Originally, Donkey Kong was meant to be a grown up version of Jr.

Apparently Shiggy objected to the idea because he didn't like seeing his Donkey Kong Jr. design get thrown out in replacement for Rare's design. In the first Donkey Kong Country game, there is dialogue where Cranky refers to DK as his son. But in the manual he is clearly marked as DK's grandfather and Jr is DK's father. This also caused a the OG jr. design to exist alongside the DKC cast.

DK64 reverts Cranky as being DK's father.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

I like the original.

Hi Orenji Neko

 

[cireza]

Looks dumb, but then this is Mario Kart, so it's fine.

This game kicked so much ass.

As for the DK look in MK9... Eh. Not a big fan.

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

100% just shit his pants.

 

[Ikutachi]

Bad as the older design of movie Sonic.

 

[TransTrender]

Thanks, I hate it.
