DK Leak Thread

[untold hearth]

||yeah, glad they went with different style with it too||

[sturdy inlet]

Story spoilers i guess ||holy shit naked void kong||

[radiant pebble]

chat
insane theory slash funny coincidence
||You know how there's a CRT fossil on the feast layer for like seemingly no reason||

||https://youtu.be/oPG84zY-HOY?si=x8gJ_cI4SppOEELj|| 0:46

[radiant pebble]

||void kong made up his backstory so you'd feel bad for him||

[topaz cargo]

||Would be hilarious if he really did take your colour TVs but the description implies it's meant as a reference to that one easter egg in Tropical Freeze||

[radiant pebble]

||all my crts gone....||

[untold hearth]

||watching some streams, man I hope they tone down the purple lightning effect in certain Forbidden Layer area a little in a patch, hurts my head a bit (thank god it's just one small area though), maybe it's just me though||

[frigid flint]

||Knew this was gonna be his possible backstory lol||

[topaz cargo]

||I do genuinely love how Void Kong does just straight up die||

[sturdy inlet]

Spoiler tag please

[topaz cargo]

I am horribly sleep deprived right now

[sturdy inlet]

You're all good

[untold hearth]

||as expected from the trailers, song Pauline sings (idk name of it yet) is still in English in JP version (with JP subtitles)||

[sturdy inlet]

Hope you get some sleep tho

[topaz cargo]

I've been awake like 17 hours and i've spent most of that sitting in a car and feeling nasueous

[frigid flint]

||Still hoping Void’s alright in post game||
||A harder rematch with him and the others would be sick||

[untold hearth]

||dumb question, but do Neckys show up at all before Planet Core besides the intro? is funny thinking about how they were here the whole time (even if they aren't recognizable in default appearance)||

[topaz cargo]

||I find it funny how the only returning enemy who didn't already have a modern design is Army.||

||ARMY. Of all enemies.||

[lost grail]

||wonder if there's a japanese version in the jukebox||

[scenic field]

||the credits only has the english va listed as vocals so it feels unlikely||

[weak bay]

||i was gonna say klobber but that's in jungle climber somehow, huh||

[untold hearth]

||in JP but, I see why the people who have gotten this far have barely shown postgame yet lol (guessing the other elders also need bit of bananas too) ||

[sturdy inlet]

||it's 300, 350, 400, 500, and 600, going in order by sublayer number||

[untold hearth]

||makes sense||

[sturdy inlet]

||i wonder how many total there are||

||even darker side in odyssey was locked behind 500 moons||

||and that had a total of 880 unique ones||

[stark root]

||Ok so is void kong just full on dead after k rool uppercuts him into the sephiroth looking supernova||

[sturdy inlet]

||from what we know, you never see him again||

||it's possible you might see him in postgame but that's not confirmed||

[stark root]

Ok

[radiant pebble]

||apparently there is a boss rush in postgame||

[frigid flint]

(Pauline related spoilers) ||This is a bit minor but Pauline mentions living with her grandma and wanting to get back to her||
||Not a big deal obviously but something neat to mention||

[untold hearth]

||yeah saw that earlier, do wonder if she mentions anything more in postgame (or in optional stuff)||

[radiant pebble]

I'm gonna put my matpad-shaped hat rn

||Lady is Pauline's grandmother. That's who cranky kidnapped back then. This would probably also mean that Mario would be the grandson of jumpman who cranky also references||

I have zero evidence whatsoever to back up this other than the fact that Miyamoto told me so

[sturdy inlet]

postgame ||https://youtu.be/sFIgqqiP6xY ||

oh ok so here's some more context

||pauline has a gig lined up at the new donk city hall but wants to find inspiration for a new song, so she comes back to the underground world||

||which is why you go back to all the elders ||

[untold hearth]

||not much more than what the other videos showed other than showing English version of Kong Elder dialogue||

[radiant pebble]

||https://game8.co/games/Donkey-Kong-Bananza/archives/537309||

[sturdy inlet]

finale ||the fact that k rool has a street named after him in new donk is 100x funnier after seeing the finale of this game||

[fossil hearth]

||Ight so quick question for those who’ve heard it, do you guys think that the new gangplank galleon remix (the one that plays when you’re ascending to the surface) tops the one in smash?||

[topaz cargo]

Yeah

[radiant pebble]

||hard to tell, they are pretty similar. And both are associated to insane hype moments||

[topaz cargo]

||The Smash one is good but this one captures the spirit of the original much better, which I think is an important aspect||

[radiant pebble]

||I think smash bros takes the W because of the rapping and that godlike slower section, but this one is also excellently incorporated with what's happening on screen||

[sturdy inlet]

||i like that they actually keep the ramp up of the original||

||and time it with the fakeout||

[topaz cargo]

||Also this one incorporates Crocodile Cacophony and I am a sucker for leitmotifs||

[radiant pebble]

||this one was absolutely built with the cutscene in mind whereas smash bros is more of a grand battle song||

[sturdy inlet]

4 more hours

[scenic field]

||i suppose there's probably some street in new york named after some redcoat soldier somewhere...||

[ebon rivet]

||Oh so you can’t go back to ndc and do stuff there? Bummer||

||Do like all the other stuff though||

[scenic field]

||i suppose it is kinda just designed for the boss only
wouldn't look good on DKC to destroy the place in a prequel||

[radiant pebble]

||you can return to ndc by closing the game and opening super mario odyssey||

[topaz cargo]

||Or if you wanna get weird with it, Mario Golf Super Rush||

[ebon rivet]

||Okay but||

||It would be funny||

||If you’re already fucking with the timeline with pauline then you might as well go all out and make it as confusing as possible||

[topaz cargo]

Were the leaks that said ||Lanky|| is in real or a really dumb lie?

[frigid flint]

||Only as a billboard in New Donk||

[sturdy inlet]

Lmaoooo

Literally this

[ebon rivet]

||Heartbreaking: he’s just a sign||

[sturdy inlet]

this is what they're talking about

[radiant pebble]

||this new (or old?) new donk city looks really cool too, I always thought it would be so much cooler to explore the areas below the super high skyscraper the playable area is set on odyssey, and dk bananza's new donk seems to be exactly that||

[topaz cargo]

||We should hunt down all troll leakers||

[ebon rivet]

||I mean they were right… lanky is in the game…||

||let’s just break all their bones||

[topaz cargo]

||And not do anything threatening or bad to them at all, of course||

[ebon rivet]

||hit them with a newspaper and say “No. Don’t do that”||

[radiant pebble]

We'll put them on a cage and shake it like, moderately hard, and then let them go when they're like all dizzy

[sturdy inlet]

finale ||wonder what k rool's been doing between bananza and odyssey then ||

[ebon rivet]

||baseball, probably||

[radiant pebble]

||baseball mostly||

[ebon rivet]

[sturdy inlet]

||also from what i've seen, it looks like the reviewers have done a good job of not spoiling that much ||

[ebon rivet]

||yeah not a single one mentions anything about k rool||

||but, it might just be nintendo telling them when to cut it off||

[weak bay]

https://youtu.be/DB3v2_D0oEM ||

[scenic field]

||when i made the faceous theory that the wish would involve time travel to explain continuity i didn't expect to be half right ||

TRUUUE

[sturdy inlet]

Finale ||man it's a shame we won't be getting bananza k rool nso pfps for a while ||

[buoyant glade]

I love him sm

[plush arch]

Damn is it just cuz the switch 2 hasn’t been cracked yet or is it impossible to find soundtrack uploads for this game

[buoyant glade]

ive heard people datamining by putting switch 2 cartridges into a modded switch 1

but i havent seen any uploads of direct music files from any one

a lot of mario kart world ost uploads are just people pausing the game

[peak eagle]

Really hope the switch 2 gets cracked eventually just for higher quality ost uploads

But also nintendo.... nintendo music exists.... hurry up....

[untold hearth]

moreso is just gonna be a slight bit before anyone unlocks all the tracks (since there is the ingame jukebox this time)

[buoyant glade]

oh right true

[lost grail]

||does it have more than one vocal music like odyssey or only the main theme?||

[frigid flint]

||God I need the track for Rot K. Rool and Poppy’s boss theme so bad lol|| (Finale and boss fight)

[topaz cargo]

||The first time I saw that title card I thought it was really funny||

||The text is trying SO HARD to make him look vicious||

[weary sequoia]

||don’t get me wrong, this form’s still good||

||I just prefer the first form a lot more honestly||

||the one where he has banana armor and looks a lot more closer to his base form||

Postgame postcredits

||The melody Pauline learns in the post game is the og arcade dk sounds that also play in Jump Up Superstar and Break Free||

[scenic ivy]

Uhhhhh

[radiant pebble]

This is the right image in the right thread right

Ok it is

Anyways very cute how ||the final song of the game is named in the same way Break Free (Lead the Way) is
It's named Breaking Through (Heart of Gold)||

[ebon rivet]

postgame (final gauntlet) || https://youtu.be/IAAmlmJGHcA?si=Dvv00z_aW-mKpKf_||

||this struck the fear of god in me||

[weary sequoia]

||so from what I’m guessing||

||the thirteen year old pauline mentions her grandma, which is supposedly the arcade pauline||

[sullen tundra]

||makes sense, there's no way the current pauline was the same lady cranky kidnapped 40 years ago||

[radiant pebble]

||yeah that's what I've been thinking too||

||>Original DK arcade games happen with OG DK, Jumpman and Lady. NDC is themed around those events

Many years go by, current DK is born, OG DK becomes cranky
Events of Donkey Kong Country and 64 games happen, meanwhile Mario and Pauline should be born
13 years after Pauline being born, DK Bananza happens
Mario series continues as usual after this, with the dynamic of OG DK, Jumpman and Lady being re-enacted by their modern day counterparts
Eventually Pauline becomes the mayor of NDC and Odyssey happens||
3D Wario game happens and rewrites all of the timeline

[plush arch]

||I just hope this means we’ll see Bowser and K.Rool interact at some point||

[radiant pebble]

||When I say "Mario and Jumpman are different characters" this only applies to the in-universe lore of DK bananza tho, virtually they are still the same characters on a brand level in the same way OG DK and current DK are||

[radiant pebble]

||50/50 chance they would hate eachother or love eachother. Maybe both||

||bring in the reptilian yaoi|||

[sturdy inlet]

||they would hate each other||

[topaz cargo]

Wait.
||I was intially happy about the entire retconning purely because of my disdain for Mario lore communities, but now my even BIGGER disdain for the "Jumpman is Mario's dad" crowd is in effect instead||

[radiant pebble]

Don't worry

||he would be his GRANDdad||

[topaz cargo]

||No amount of Siivagunner/Joel VinesauceVargskelethor jokes can save this world from my anger||

[radiant pebble]

[candid egret]

That can’t be right (I do not know the context)

[lost grail]

||this now makes baby dk in yoshi's island ds make even less sense lmao
Unless dk also is 13||

||idealized version of miyamoto people have in their heads is real and had the bananza team at gun point
They had to sneak every dk reference(they added k rool when he wasn't there)||

[lost grail]

||all the discussions i had about how it wasn't true wasted ||

[pastel yoke]

||Is it safe to say r/Marioverse will lose their sanity over this game?||

[next zealot]

||dude i cant beat k rool im going insane||

||is this fight that hard or am i doing something wrong||

[topaz cargo]

||They got a spoiler policy so we gotta wait a bit but yeah I hope they do||

||I have a mild grudge against those people, don't even remember why I just do||

[weak bay]

Based

||this game is like so interesting to think about i feel we need more time bending plots tbh, it's fun and wild||

[frigid flint]

||God I can’t wait for this game’s ost to get posted😭 😭 😭 ||

||Really glad the jukebox is a thing since that’ll probably make getting the tracks a lot easier||
||Though I hope they include some of the dynamic music changes when you transform at some points like the final NDC rush|| (Endgame)

[last tree]

Actually screw that I have a better one.
||Wario World Double Trouble will confirm that the Wario from Wario Land and the Mario spinoffs, and the Wario from WarioWare are two separate entities. Also, Captain Syrup is actually the half-sister of Pauline and the estranged mother of Princess Peach. The WarioWare Wario saved Syrup as a child but as she grew, she disagreed with that Wario's lazy lifestyle and set out to make money her way, leading her to eventually butt heads with the Wario Land Wario years later. Meanwhile, a teaser for a sequel shows Mona arriving to the mansion of her father, remarking that she hasn't seen him in a while, and that she hopes he hasn't had to deal with another ghost hunting adventure yet ag||

[bold parcel]

Finally
HE is canon in some way

[bold parcel]

Hopefully
Can’t believe my wish actually came true

I don’t believe they’re at that part of the game yet tho

[radiant pebble]

multiple mario theory
There are several mario all existing within the mario universe and each one is a completely separate entity from eachother

The double cherry split canon

[bold parcel]

Ok lads nevermind
||For some reason they were specifically talking about it in the Leaks channel instead of the Spoilers channel||
They are absolutely freaking out

[lost grail]

||less than i expected tbh. A lot of them are just saying wait until we know more||

[bold parcel]

||I’ve seen some of them say this is the end of the server/Mario lore in general||

||I think that constitutes as freaking out||

[celest gazelle]

big bananza spoilers ||apparently the voice actors for void kong and k rool are also credited in mkw||

||we don't know who they voiced in mkw, but still interesting||

[sturdy inlet]

yeah (MASSIVE SPOILERS)

||i feel like people are looking into it a bit much since their names are probably just in bc they voiced other characters, we just don't know who||

||but either way i think more dk characters in mkw is inevitable anyways||

MASSIVE SPOILERS AGAIN ||hell they even gave k rool his own emblem in bananza||

also bananza's credits are seriously so goated man

[weak bay]

||especially kasplat who cooked with the 3d models...||

[fast viper]

actually i'll post in the main

[buoyant glade]

||I HAVE COPIUM FOR MORE VOID KONG CONTENT?||

[weary sequoia]

||honestly it’ll be neat for void to get more content||

||though that could be unlikely since nintendo doesn’t usually bring back one-offs||

[buoyant glade]

|| theres only one way for a one-off to not be a one-off, dear friend ||

[weary sequoia]

||still void pretty much filled his purpose in the story, he was a "fake" antagonist in the narrative sense||

[buoyant glade]

||yes but his design is peak so he should return. i have my biases.||

[weary sequoia]

||okay no arguing there we fucking love gremlins||

[sturdy inlet]

it would be peak

the bananza designs are all so good

[bold parcel]

Lad I understand that but you have to understand that ||he’s probably dead||

[frigid flint]

||King K. Rool has been mauled by sharks I’m sure Void Kong can come back too lol||

[peak eagle]

||this could be the truth cause i looked at Tsuguo's other roles and all i saw (in terms of mario) was one of the broodals, but at the same time i also really want K.Rool in a mario kart game||

[frigid flint]

||Especially since like||
||These are flat out Kongs||
||I’m sure the Void Gang can be recurring lol||

[scenic field]

||tbh i still don't know if it means much because it's just voice grunts, could very well be the same in MKW for its NPC racers having voice grunts from the same actors since they already had them on file||

||like idk it's like how the plumber characters all share a voice actor you know||

[sturdy inlet]

||i totally think they will include him and that's why they're waiting on dk shit||

||i just don't think the credits thing is very meaningful evidence of it||

[weary sequoia]

||# KOPE FOR KING K ROOL IN MARIO KART WORLD||

[sturdy inlet]

||they just can't do it immediately because they have to wait until people have had the chance to play bananza||

[weary sequoia]

||I said this before, but I really hope that king k rool becomes a reccuring character in the mario series like rosalina and pauline||

||the king k rool merch will go fucking krazy||

[weak bay]

https://tenor.com/view/ironic-star-wars-chode-gif-5274592

i also want his return

[weary sequoia]

||I love how when we got King K. Rool back people started missing Void Kong||

||but I mean Void Kong was pretty much better than the Tikis or Snowmads anyways||

[buoyant glade]

i think retro was just bad at making villains

[weary sequoia]

||Tiki Tong was just nonexistent and Lord Fredrik was just ripping off King K Rool||

[weak bay]

agreed

even as a kid in 2010 i found the designs really ugly kringe and unappealing

never give small eyes to kartoon characters

[weary sequoia]

THAT LOOKS LIKE ONE OF THOSE SINGING MONSTERS

NOT A DONKY KONG KHARACTER

[weak bay]

i want retro to stick with metroid

[weary sequoia]

hear me out

[weak bay]

https://tenor.com/view/davy-jones-eyebrow-raise-pirates-gif-9227372

[weary sequoia]

another retro studios donkey kong game

but they get the designers from bananza

[weak bay]

they'd find some way for them to forget about zingers again no thanks

[granite abyss]

no

[weak bay]

also man it pains me how people had this divide between rare and bananza DK designs and treatiing the old one was inexpressive and

....when tbh the worst dk model is the returns/TF one imo

that one is just, really inexpressive, even in the victory animation he looks just static in the face

[weary sequoia]

I think the retro games are only good for their gameplay

because that was the one common thing I’ve heard

[weak bay]

they're very good games

but i find a lot of reasons to dislike their direction

i hate how nothing his face is in the victory screen

that's not a smile that's default expression in the 3d model program

[astral mortar]

I don't want to frame this as some sorta "Wow the old design was ALWAYS bad and we just never knew!" Sort of thing. But MAN the Bananza DK redesign is just perfect to me and it's hard to go back lol esp with screenshots like this (though like you're saying it's def in part cuz of how Retro animated him)

[weary sequoia]

||I’m actually kind of glad now they excluded king k rool from the retro donkey kong games||

[weak bay]

i will frame it that way

[astral mortar]

Based?

[weak bay]

cause i honestly disliked the look ever since they first dropped

[weary sequoia]

||inexpressive king k rool?? BLEHHHHHHHHHHHHHH||

[weak bay]

though the lack of the tag team or piggyback mechanic in the gameplay is the bigger thing i dislike from the returns games

it's like they were told how the originals played like but didnt actually play it

or only researched country 1 and didnt bother seeing if the sequels had already introduced some changes/improvements

i'm so glad we're past that at least, bananza cares so much

[astral mortar]

The 'rare design' def worked way better with Rareware yeah
(It makes sense why of course lol but man)

[weak bay]

the rare design worked well everywhere except returns and TF

only the boxarts and artwork there have dk look good, in-game look is a downgrade

jungle beat was his best look prior probably (tho i still dont like the game)

[sturdy inlet]

retro's dkc games are really fun but if it's even half of the same quality as bananza i want in-house dkc too

[celest gazelle]

if they bring back some of the old dkc elements missing from returns and tf then im honestly down

[sturdy inlet]

the only potential hangup in that aspect is difficulty

[celest gazelle]

tropical freeze is still peak fiction tbh

prolly won't happen tho

[weak bay]

i think them getting rid of the tag team was nonsense

it was awesome changing who was in the lead

[celest gazelle]

i miss that

[scenic field]

i assume they got rid of it due to the wii remote only having a few buttons tbh

like there are work arounds but

nobody really likes having to press the B button sideways

[weak bay]

blegh

another reason why the wii control blows

i'd probably like the returns games more if they had a parade for each enemy in the kredits with a kool song

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfJmZ9K6ofE

[sullen tundra]

i think retro just had a really hard time replicating the charm the enemies of rare's games had. SO they all ended up looking like standard generic-ish cartoon animals

or in worst case scenario, generic looking floating tiki masks

-sorry i do NOT like the tikis -

[weak bay]

i like the tikis more than the Sing movie rejects but yeah they didnt do great

but i just wish i could play as diddy front and center, he was my favorite

||Oh thank god||

||Nice that Grumpy and Poppy cared about him enough to actually save him||
||Hopefully we see them again in later games||

||listened more closely and am I wrong or do both K.Rool fights use the same track, but some parts are cut off during the first battle?|| final boss

[hot scaffold]

||so this is a prequel yea?||

[untold hearth]

||to Odyssey, yeah||

[earnest gale]

||Can I post art made in the DKB modeler in #canvas-curse or does it have to be here?||

||Not sure if the game having a modeler would be considered spoilers.||

Ackk sorry sorry didn't register that spoiler ettiquette still applied within the thread

[sturdy inlet]

honestly? yeah sure

also as long as the art itself doesn't have any spoilers for dk bananza main game you can just post the art without tags

[sturdy inlet]

it was in the direct so it's all good

[earnest gale]

Ah, thank you!

[frigid violet]

I don’t have a Switch 2 so I just watched the finale on YouTube…

||PEAK PEAK PEAK ALSO THE TIMELINE IS ABSOLUTELY DESTROYED|||

[last tree]

||I still don't know what is Nintendo's end game with this. This is honestly something that I can't help but feel that even a lot of Mario casuals will question about.||

[sullen tundra]

||eh its not that much of a big deal tbh||

||the game implies pauline's grandma was the original lady (aka the one cranky kidnapped)||

[untold hearth]

||yeah, Odyssey never really directly confirmed when she got kidnapped or anything (aka good chance it was Mario vs Donkey Kong) I think so DKB can fit in mostly well||

||Mario vs Donkey Kong remake was pretty recent too so it isn't like it's really an inaccessible or super obscure thing||

[last tree]

||I'm not sure what you're implying. That Mario vs. Donkey Kong replaced the original arcade game in canon??||

[untold hearth]

||no? original arcade game was already in the past in DKB||

[last tree]

||But that's my problem, I don't know how that can be reconciled unless Mario is A: not the protagonist of the arcade game, or B: like 60 years old presently||

||I feel like the Green Pippins trying to make sense of this lmfao||

[untold hearth]

||tbf you could've asked that before all this lmao||

||probably just never ages like most protags||

||(either that or different Mario but like they're ever gonna actually say if so)||

[last tree]

||I honestly think they have wrote themselves into a corner with this regarding mario & jumpman||

||it just feels unexpected too because like. the Mickey Mouse cast are also "actors" but they never did like...a short where Goofy is an adult babysitting Minnie as a child or anything like that||

[untold hearth]

||either way Mario's never been the most consistent franchise tbh, let them do what they want||

[last tree]

||Then they should go full throttle on that||

||Have Wario's future self secretly organize the events of Mario Sunshine. Have Bowser Jr.'s mother turn out to be Birdo. Have a Luigi's Mansion game where you encounter the ghost of Stanley the Bugman||

[untold hearth]

||they should say everything is parallels like Kirby did and watch everyone go insane||

[scenic field]

||Pauline was not in the first MvDK game, she only returned in the sequel||

[last tree]

||Yeah you know what that's the other thing||

[untold hearth]

||oh, right||

||I'm thinking of the GB one...||

[last tree]

||If they aren't exiling MvsDK2 from being recognized as part of the Mario body of work...DK getting heart eyes for Pauline in the opening movie is kind of shocking now.||

[untold hearth]

||could always also just be some other instance we don't know about I guess||

||wait actually you know what, she could just be talking about Void Kong (or Voidco in general, since JP is vague with plurals like always), that'd actually mostly fit (even moreso in JP, but English fits pretty well too)||

[devout sable]

Final boss spoilers

||second krool loading screen with different art interesting that they now have him liking rotten bananas as a part of his character honestly I quite like it as it shows how he is rotten to his core||

[bold parcel]

Ngl that last one goes hard

[deft quest]

||now that we know k. rool's banana preference how does this recontextualize his previous banana thefts||

[hot scaffold]

||doesnt really||

[deft quest]

i guess now i just think ||gee you could've just waited for a better time for those if you like your bananas that way||

[weak bay]

||kinda cant since mario games always have paper thin narratives. really here they just wanted a game with a young pauline but also bothering to pay tribute to the rare era stuff since that's been absent for so long||

[granite abyss]

||he wanted the kongs to starve||

[weak bay]

||so that's about what the game is, it's one with a young pauline but also references the past of DK because they knoew real dk fans have been starving for recognition||

[deft quest]

i should also note that ||my first reaction upon seeing the (real) banandium core was 'that's an ophanim made of bananas'||

||biblically accurate banana||

[sullen tundra]

||Man, it's mario. Don't think about it too hard, there has never been a consistent timeline anyway||
