Everyone is discussing Donkey Kong and the notion of “Donkey Kong lore” lately. Don’t be afraid. You’ve taken your first step into a larger world. Yes, Donkey Kong has a wonderfully rich mythology. Allow us to guide you.
First, Diddy Kong Racing and how DK is (still) part of Rare’s shared universe!

Took Lanky Kong’s statue to the western islet off DK Island that seems to correspond to the same islet in Donkey Kong Country where the level Orang-Utan Gang is set, which the German Donkey Kong 64 website established as Utan Island, birthplace of Lanky.
This is how much I care for you, you freak 🦧

This year, I’m most thankful that Chunky Kong’s stupid lemon-lime checkerboard waistcoat backing has made it into the new era of Donkey Kong.

Based on how much this one already had me sweating, I fear for a year from now how impossible the "Bachelor Bear and Mega AMP 2.0" challenges will be
After the relative cakewalk of the Enguarde event last month, it was a ton of fun to have to actually strategically plan your Bananzas and whatnot to beat this month’s challenge. Luckily nothing on God’s Green Earth could have stopped me from earning “the Lanky Kong”

A friend of mine told me about artist trading cards. I had never heard about them before and I have and excess of top loaders at my house. So naturally I had to go buy some and immediately draw a Donkey Kong.

Another Nintendo Switch Online update, another Rare game that's not Diddy Kong Racing. But the original Battletoads is a long-overdue omission, even if most people probably assumed it was already added over a year ago!
