I think he probably put a bit more EXTRA effort on the humor because he was presenting this at a convention. Not to say that Johnny isn’t funny all the time or doesn’t try, but I think for this video (along with say his Knuckles Chaotix and Mega Man X reviews which he also presented at past TMG cons), he put a bit more emphasis on empty spots where he could get BIG laughs from crowds. Damn, I forget the user’s name but someone already uploaded a YT video of Johnny’s whole Too Many Games 2022 Panel before this video was uploaded. For anyone who’s interested I highly recommend you watching that to get an example when I’m talking about above.

Donkey Kong (original early 80s trilogy): Didn’t age the best (the gameplay had even a loveable character like Mario off to a rough start with his over-sensitivity, the music (while nostalgically 8-bit) can be a bit repetitive!. And yet, slightly later ports of this game never improved upon what was wrong with the original.) Donkey Kong 4 (aka Donkey Kong ‘94): Unlike the rest because of its much more advanced (even for its time) presentation with a ton of cartoonish life put into it and very detailed levels (plus while it’s not the first one to make Pauline more memorable than ever before (Super Mario Odyssey 1… the. Mario Tennis Aces and Mario Golf: Super Rush), it’s definitely the first one to sport her attractive design with long brown hair, especially in porns (rizdraws’s depiction of Peach and Pauline having gay sex, daijovuvu’s depiction of Pauline on a nude beach (which feels like a tribute to Sigurd Hosenfeld’s drawings of Mario princesses on a nude beach made over a decade ago), etc) where she also has thick feminine thighs, a round booty, a vagina and a completely bottomless body to make her even sexier than her post-1993 self. It really makes us wonder if Mario was either cheating on both of them (formerly Pauline and currently Peach) at different times or if he has more than one girlfriend being, at the minimum, both of them. Because earlier in the comment, I said that Mario would be one of my favourite characters even though I thought Peach and Pauline were almost there (because despite being able to play like athletes, they would also act like damsels in distress, which is what makes us like Daisy and especially Rosalina and most other Mario characters in general all the more), I would like to think of it as the latter) *Those are my thoughts on the Donkey Kong main games before It breathed new life with the Donkey Kong Country trilogy in the mid 1990s (mid 2000s as the GBA versions and late 1990s as the Donkey Kong Land trilogy), same as SCMJ’s*

Donkey Kong 94 was such a damn treat. I got it as a stocking stuffer gift that Christmas and initially didn't pay it much mind as I had much bigger fish to fry. Final Fantasy 3/6 and Super Metroid also released that year, and I was waist deep into both. A family road trip shortly after that holiday season changed my mind. The carrying case for my Game Boy at the time held 4 games (the 5th being in the unit), and my typical lineup was usually Tetris, Final Fantasy Adventure, Final Fantasy Legend, Final Fantasy Legend 2, and Metroid 2. I figured since it was new, I'd give DK a run while we were on the road. None of the other games even touched the old brick for at least two weeks after that. The game was just so damn fun, and the cheesy little bits were good for a quick chuckle. To this day, DK94 remains one of my favorites from the original green and grey brick.

But man, the OG Donkey Kong, in all its simplicity, is such a brilliant little game. I love it. It's so addictive. Donkey Kong Jr. and Donkey Kong 3 are good too, but the OG is in a class of its own.

You know you've almost killed them all when the background music changes. But once you get to stage 3, the only way to beat that stage is to Force Donkey Kong to stick his head into the beehive.

Supposedly Mario was originally going to have various roles throughout Nintendo games. Like one game he could be the player, while in the next game he is the villain, or he will simply be a cameo appearance. Which explains why Mario is the villain in DK jr. and the cameo appearance was a thing in many Nintendo games. But I think Mario Bros was the first time where he was actually meant to be a more concert character.

Worth noting that DK94 acts as a precursor to the Mario vs DK series, and is considered by many fans as the "true" first game. Both it and the one on GBA are a good time.

So yeah, it's cool that we're getting a remake of the GBA game. Maybe we can get more MvsDK games like this in the future, rather than the Mini style that IMO got very stale.

Man I totally forgot this marathon was coming up, though I'm glad to see you do it! This was a long time coming and these games deserve recognition. A bit surprised you didn't jump straight into Country but it makes sense. Man, I was shocked on how DK 94 feels so smooth. The backflip in particular feels amazing and I kinda wish there were more pure platforming levels because flipping through platform to platform feels so satisfying. Makes me wish that it was in the NSMB games, or that it was a style or power up in Mario Maker 2.

The energy of this community is something to be cherished, and I'm happy to be a part of it. Keep up the excellent work, I look forward to the rest of this marathon!

People remember Mario 64 for the Triple Jump, but that was Donkey Kong 94. People remember Mario Sunshine for spinning on tight ropes to gain momentum, but that was Donkey Kong 94. It's amazing how many moves they let you perform in that game with just two buttons.
