The Donkey Kong Jr. arcade contains a unique implementation of an anti-piracy feature.

Early games did not check against merely unauthorized copying of the software since that was not yet possible with the tools available at the time, and instead checked whether the code had been modified to remove the "Nintendo" copyright: essentially guarding itself against someone passing the game off as their own creation.

The code checks if the "Nintendo" text on the title screen has been modified or removed, and if it finds any changes, Donkey Kong Jr. will be unable to grab vines, making it impossible to even start playing the first level.

Either as a side effect or as additional mockery, the game will award 100 points every time Donkey Kong Jr. jumps, since that is literally all he can do while confined to the starting platform.

A Mario Party!

[k-simp]

So Me and a homie of mine talked about this idea since November 13th 2022 , and I just couldn't stop thinking about it that I had to at least draw something for this. It was originally going to be a Waluigi wardrobe and sketch design of him, but I went overboard

Waluigi's Apartments™️

"A game where Waluigi says goodbye to chasing after the stardom and respect from Nintendo but to embark on a new way of living, an adventure even, to find more forgotten characters and elements of Nintendo and give them a home that he never had"

I'm not exactly a gaming nerd to know what to reference and say this sounds like, but from what I played, I can say this is a mix between Kirby's Epic Yarn and Animal Crossing.

The characters in the boxes are

1. Donkey Kong Jr.

2. Wart

3. Stanley the Bugman

4. The DK Crew (Chunky, Tiny and Lanky)

5. Fawful

6. Keeby

7. Baby Wario & Princess Shokora

8. MC Ballyhoo

9. Geno

10. Boshi

11. Aqualea

12. Koopa Kid

These are not the only ones that will be featured in the game, but the main 12

I have so much to talk about with this idea, I really wanna make this into an actual game, maybe not a console game but a free game for Steam or devices like phones and tablets or something.

I'm not sure. But what I do know for sure is that I will be doodling more of this and Waluigi cause damn he's so cool, and Number 1 in our hearts

WAAAHH-

30 Years of Donkey Kong ‘94 (1994 to 2024)

I really wish this game was talked about (or even referenced) more often because it’s literally the best classic era Donkey Kong game ever that brings all the elements together into a clever little Action puzzle game!

I miss Junior a lot, I wish they told us his whereabouts since he’s Cranky’s son & the current DK’s father! Just some new artwork of them for memory’s sake will even do! But anyways, I hope you enjoy the art I made as tribute! ✨

A Problem With Mario Theories And Lore Hunting

So there is a problem many people have when it comes to speculation, lore hunting, and timeline crafting I've come to notice in the Mario community, and it's something I've recently been having to deal with. So something I've noticed is people who have talked about the Donkey Kongs have tried to apply real world Gorilla lifespans and maturity to the Kongs. After doing this they apply it to the lore and or the Mario timeline. They will do things like place all the Party and Kart games at the end of the timeline. Others claim Donkey Kong Junior is was retconned out of existence, or Donkey Kong the Third is actual DK Jr. and Cranky's son instead of grandson. The application of real world gorilla lifespans and maturity is mostly thanks to certain Mario "timeline"/theory. Why does this not work?

First off they are going against the established lore about the 3 DKs, and how Kongs age rapidly. On a side note I've actually made a few posts about the DKs and Kong aging so if you want to know more look for those. Back on track why does this not work? Well before we get to the main point I wanted to mention another previous post of mine to put things into perspective.

In this post I talked about a hypothesis I had come up with in the past, which was that Piranha Plants aren't actually plants but reptiles. From there I talked about why my hypothesis was wrong. I used information obtained from manuals, descriptions, and in game dialogue establishing they are indeed plants.

So what was my mistake? I tried to apply real world logic to this fictional world. Now while some real world logic is a basis for this world such as needing to eat food and breath air to stay alive. This world also runs by it's own rules. So if in the world plants can have skeletons, tongues, have scales, and can hatch from eggs then they can.

The Mario world is basically a high fantasy world, and trying to force real world logic into it does work when it has it's own set of rules the world runs by. Keep in mind this is a world with man eating plants, alongside sentient talking trees and sunflowers, hexapod dragons, still living non-avian dinosaurs, reanimated skeletons, turtles that can remove their shells, straight up magic, clouds you can physically ride on, the ability to enter dreams, zippers on terrain you can unzip, etc. etc. etc. So in the end it doesn't make sense at all to try to force real world gorilla aging to fictional sapient gorillas who have their own language in a high fantasy setting.

Keep in mind this post is only addressing a problem. This by no means lore hunting and speculation is wrong. That should be self evident by the existence of this blog.

It appears that young Kongs mature quite quickly compared to other species, such as humans, while adult Kongs age into seniors at a rapid pace as well.

This can be seen with Donkey Kong Jr., Tiny Kong and Cranky Kong.

Modern DK is DK Jr

[pianokantzart]

What’s so weird about Mario Vs Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Jr. being canon? Not trying to be rude, just a genuine question.

The thing is, Donkey Kong Jr. was early enough that Mario didn't yet have a stable canon personality, so things took a hard left turn into villain mode for a second.

There is some argument that DK was a menace with a history of kidnapping, but the behavior presented is still wildly out of character by modern Mario standards.

Mario vs. Donkey Kong is less egregious. In that series, Mario owns a giant toy company, big enough to get its own theme park in a later game.

It's not particularly out of character, but it feels to me about as canon as "Doctor Mario." Being a business mogul just doesn't work very well with his usual persona as an everyman plumber.

The "O" in "R.O.B." stands for "optimist"

I don't know what part of this image amuses me more: Mario in the dress and bonnet or Pauline packing heat.

[suppermariobroth]

Left: there is a rare alternate side art for Donkey Kong Jr. cabinets (confirmed as official by being posted in a 2002 issue of Nintendo Power) that contains a woman sitting in the top right, whose identity is unknown. The only prominent female character in the Mario series at that point was Pauline, but Pauline does not appear in the game and was never depicted wearing a green dress in official material.

Right: the closest design to this character in the Mario franchise is the human form of Wendy Koopa (known as "Kootie Pie" in the cartoons) from "The Beauty of Kootie" episode of the Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 cartoon series. Of course, the cartoon was released 8 years after the Donkey Kong Jr. artwork, so the artwork cannot be in reference to it, and the cartoon is very unlikely to be in reference to the artwork.
