Jumpman being Mario's dad is literally impossible, lol. It has been stated quite a few times over the years that Mario and Jumpman are the same person. And this is backed up in Odyssey, where Mario is clearly the one who saved Pauline back in the first DK game. And no, Lady is not a separate character from Pauline. Odyssey has a handful of implications that they're the same as well. Regarding DK being Cranky's son, it's worth noting that Cranky has been consistently referred to as DK's grandfather for 2 decades now. DK64 is the only time he was called Cranky's son. Nintendo officially sees Cranky as his grandfather.

Very interesting video. There are two references you missed out on... one of which comes from outside Nintendo (gasp!) The first is Bleak's House in DKC3, which is a reference to the novel Bleak House by Charles Dickens. The non-Nintendo bit is the fact that Rare actually sneaked in a few discreet references to DKC in Sea of Thieves. For example, one of the ship decorations you can get is a swordfish that is colored EXACTLY like Enguarde. As for DK being Cranky's son and thus the grown-up Donkey Kong Jr., Leigh Loveday himself (the main writer for the trilogy) confirmed as such. Mario and Jumpman are also the same character and the age discrepancy between him and Cranky can be explained by the fact that, in real life, gorillas age roughly twice as fast as humans.

@DaNintendude Жыл бұрын

Leigh Loveday often made jokey remarks and made stuff up on the Rare forums. It's very unlikely that DK is supposed to be DK Jr. It's possible around the time of DK64 that they were supposed to be the same, but that's definitely been dropped. Nintendo has referred to Cranky as DK's grandfather consistently for the last 2 decades. What Leigh Loveday said doesn't matter, because it's in Nintendo's hands now.

@KingdomHeartsBrawler Жыл бұрын

@@DaNintendude That may technically be true, but I invoke death of the author. I personally prefer Leigh Loveday's telling of things, partly because I like the thematic consistency and partly because it fits more neatly into the Mario timeline. Not only that, but Returns and Tropical Freeze make nods to the "modern DK = adult DK Jr." line of thinking with the Golden Temple and Secret Seclusion levels. Also, if I am going to nitpick, the bit about Nintendo consistently calling Cranky DK's grandfather technically isn't accurate. Back in the 2000s when the DKC games were being remade, Cranky was described as being DK's dad and the original DK on Nintendo's site. It honestly seems inconsistent, but Nintendo has been known to flip-flop on canon more times than not (with maybe Metroid and Kirby being the only exceptions).

Um, Mario does not fall to his death in Donkey Kong Jr and therefore is not "murdered." He gets up after the fall and chases after DK and Jr offscreen and then gets booted back onscreen. There are plenty of YT videos of the gameplay where you can see this for yourselves. Also, Nintendo has been far from "dodgy" about the issue of Mario and Jumpman from DK being the same, they have confirmed this is the case over and over again starting as far as the mid 80's in the NES Player's Guide. Not to be a Cranky Kong, but all the dark and negative fan "theories" that proliferate about everything annoy me.

Yeah it kinda ticked me off how he said it was "one of the more believable theories" because of how often Nintendo states/proves Mario and Jumpman are the same.

Wasn't the original Donkey Kong and Mario based on Bluto and Popeye? I Think they said that on the toys that built America

If you make a sequel to this you should include the infamous bootleg games, like Super Donkey Kong 99 for the Mega Drive and Donkey Kong Country 4 for the Famicom.

I believe with Donkey Kong 64 (I think Did You Know Gaming covered it) that there was a game breaking bug that they couldn't fix, but for some reason the Expansion Pak fixed it. That's why it was included in copies of Donkey Kong 64

I don’t think they ever retconned Diddy being DK’s nephew. I think the phrasing was weird. I think they are describing him as a wannabe in terms of wanting to be the next Donkey Kong, rather than a character literally that wishes they were DK’s nephew.

8:20 what do you mean? They're still working on the game. They have a Facebook page and post updates semi-regularly. I've been following them for years.

I used to watch the show on fox11, I remember DK's voice being higher pitched than I imagined but that it fit s well. Plus the crystal coconuts, lulz.

Love when an Iceberg video doesn't explain what an iceberg is, I don't know why so many videos do that

@Maker1 2 жыл бұрын

There's an explanation video linked in every description. Since my channel features almost exclusively the same format of video, it seems a bit redundant to explain it to my regular viewers who just want to get into the meat and potatoes.

@IINesasta 2 жыл бұрын

@@Maker1 Oh yeah, It's redudent in any newer iceberg video honestly. I think most people know what an Iceberg is by now, and I usually have to skip the first minute or so of any other iceberg video lol. It's like explaining a top ten list by this point. Anyway, good video!

I'm surprised you didn't mention the fact that there's going to be an animated movie of the DKC franchise being made by both Nintendo and Illumination (the same company who is making the Mario movie, and the same one who made the Grinch movie, Lorax movie, Despicable Me movies, you name it dudes).
