In Super Mario RPG, the Guerrilla enemy is a "knock-off" of Donkey Kong. This is referenced in a unique way by its Japanese name, which replaces two of its characters with similar ones as though on a bootleg product logo. In English, this could be conveyed as e.g. "Donkev Konq".

Donkey Kong Bananza does right by DK fans in myriad ways, but one undersung victory is the team finally incorporating Donkey's "television documentary-style sitcom straight man shrugs in incredulity at shenanigans" Smash Bros. emote into a mainline game.

I keep playing Bananza and getting irritated in my usual way, thinking to myself “There’s so much I adore about this adventure… but why couldn’t it be a Donkey Kong game? It’d be perfect for the series!” And then I remember that, for once, it actually IS a Donkey Kong game. Holy shit.

Man I wish that Bluesky had a higher word limit.

Naoto Kubo says the soundtrack of Donkey Kong Bananza has recognizable background music sprinkled throughout, but they wanted to focus on making new tracks from scratch. "The wide range of musical expression may be one of the game's defining characteristics"

A technical experiment of putting the hands of Super Mario Odyssey boss Knucklotec on a Goomba led to the destruction mechanic being used in Donkey Kong Bananza.

Another weird connection my brain found while running its useless information subroutine. If the Kong Bananza theme chorus sounds familiar...

Final Fantasy XIV director heaps praise on Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom Japanese video game news site Famitsu has shared an interview with Final Fantasy XIV director Naoki Yoshida. During the interview Yoshida was asked which game he has played lately that has impressed him lately and he stated that…

Nintendo released a new Donkey Kong Bananza video. Description: Pauline can now use her singing to make DK change forms. That’s the gift they receive from the elder - the ancient power of Bananza!

Nintendo Today has regular posts highlighting the origins of Mario enemies. Boo is what I got today! Boo was actually inspired by Takashi Tezuka's wife who was very shy, but got very angry when he would return home late from work.

Here is Cranky giving the "banana bandit" rant we've already seen later into the game, in the Giraffe Layer, where we also now have confirmation that VoidCo head icons appear when it's them being referenced, even without being named.

I used to think it wasn't needed, but now that we're another console generation ahead, I think they should bring back A Link Between Worlds

I’ve been busy all day and didn’t realize how annoying people were being with the “lol there’s no Donkey Kong timeline or lore stupid monkey games” angle. Really? People care about the likes of Sonic and Crash, but you think finding Donkey Kong’s world endearing is strange?

Similar vibes.

We knew there was something odd about that rock… The talented young singer Pauline will team up with Donkey Kong on his subterranean adventure in #DonkeyKongBananza.

Hey, kid. Tell your Mom I said hi.

Oh, trust me when I say I believe people are overthinking this. The mystery is why or how a young version of Pauline is present, but there's so much in this game suggesting Bananza takes place in the here and now. But if Nintendo wants me to write the DK Isles Historia, I'll do it on the cheap.

The fact we've only seen one costume for DK in Mario Kart World (so far) makes me sad, so I had to take matters into my own hands. #DonkeyKong #MarioKartWorld
