Bananza thread.

>Will you attend her concert?
no

>>715721149
Why not?

>>715720971 (OP)
Yes

i will take front row, and try to peek

>>715721257
Good.

>>715720971 (OP)
Why are they letting a 13 year old girl play City Hall? That's a pretty major venue for a child.

>>715721702
I don't know.
I'm just hoping we get cameos in the audience, like family attending her concert.

What language did you set for your Loline?

>>715721702
Shirley temple did all kinds of shows as a child.

>>715722104
french
it’s the same voice actress disney got to voice elsa in french

So what happened to that retard who came up with those dumb theories?

>>715723375
His ideas were better than the slop we ended up getting

>>715721702
No it isn't what?

>>715724723
Your theories didn't include K Rool unleashing a terrorist attack on New Donk City so this is false.

>>715722104
I played in JP and it was a total waste of time because they hired a half-breed hag, I'm pretty sure Pauline is intolerable Disney slop in every language.

>>715721702
It's not?

>>715724723
Indeed they were.
However, it is still possible that Mayor Pauline could appear during Pauline's live show.

Working on this https://files.catbox.moe/q0levn.jpg

>>715724874
So how many people died. Cause like clearly some people drowned in the bananas.

>>715723375
This guy?

>>715725016
>it is still possible that Mayor Pauline could appear during Pauline's live show.
Dude, fuck off. You were wrong. Get over it.

>>715725045
It was actually a banana roof if you look closely.

>>715725535
Imagine the smell

>>715726047
It probably smelled like bananas.

>>715725016
The game is out
Think nigga
If there was a twist revealing adult Pauline we would've seen it by now
Her VA isn't in the credits

Loline’s banana scented hair

>>715726538
What if she's in the post-game, in the audience, during Pauline's live show at City Hall?

>>715725535
So this is their universe equivalent of 9/11

>>715726696
No?

>Pauline's grandma

>>715726639
Do we even know theres a second ending featuring that? Do we even know if theres a second ending AT ALL?

Mario Oddysey didnt had a second ending. And so far, it doesnt seem this one has one. a YT video shows that you can reach the planet core in the posthame and repeat the fight against K.Rool, but its the same ending

>>715726804
How far into the future does Donkey Kong Bananza take place?

>>715726917
After you beat the game there's a section where Pauline asks you to go find all the village elders on the floors so she can get inspiration for her concert, I haven't seen anyone do it yet though.

>>715726917
We haven't seen gameplay yet of the part where Pauline goes to City Hall to do her live show after the quests are completed.

NGL the framerate drops are pissing me off. This dev team is young enough to know that it matters

>>715726639
>>715727035
There are people post 100% guides now
If there was SOMETHING fulfilling it would've been posted by now
Here, YouTube, twitter, etc
People have been playing for over a day now

>sequel to the DKC series and prequel to the arcade game and its Gameboy remake
>prequel to Odyssey
>the Cranky thing was a gag that Rare devs snuck under Nintendo's noses. It was never meant to be taken seriously
>DK JR hasn't been born yet as far as DKC and Bananza is concerned since everyone's still young. His mother might be Candy Kong
>All DK games are in the Past to Mario's Present

>>715726804
I'm genuinely curious if she's meant to mean something or mentioned just for Pauline to reminisce about. The only connection I can make is that DK only has his grandpa and Pauline has her Grandma.

>>715727195
In surprised there isn't some cutscene of Pauline singing at the town hall once you complete the quest.

>>715724980
>they hired a half-breed hag
who

>>715727257
>The only connection I can make is that DK only has his grandpa and Pauline has her Grandma.
Japs like their parallels so that's probably it.

>>715727398
What if that's a spoiler?

>>715727257
>He ended on a bit of a tease: “Now as to why 13-year-old in particular was the choice, I think that's something that we want players to, in the course of enjoying the game, start to puzzle out, think for themselves.”
>Okay, fine, it was admittedly a bit of a joke question. But here’s a real one: does this mean there’s an official Donkey Kong series canon timeline? Is this a Super Mario Odyssey prequel?
>“Certainly because a lot of team members also worked on Super Mario Odyssey, there are some similarities in terms of how they think about the setting of the characters for both games, but it's something we really can't explain all of for now because we need to leave something for people to consider as they're playing the game,” Takahashi cryptically replied.

https://www.ign.com/articles/nintendo-wont-say-why-donkey-kong-bananzas-pauline-is-13-years-old-specifically-wants-players-to-puzzle-out-the-answer-themselves

They're being deliberately cryptic but don't over think this
Pikmin 4 had a similar interview where they said to figure the timeline yourself even though it's a full continuity reboot

>>715727419
Yurianne Eve, according to the credits.

>>715720971 (OP)
yeah, she can use my wind instrument

>yesterday half the board was DK threads
>Day of launch theres barely even 2 with far less bumps
So thats it, huh?

>>715727571
This is Mario, not Pikmin.
They might reveal something massive.

>>715727670
It’s a fucking Thursday afternoon. I happened to be off today out of luck but a lot of us do go to work

>>715727484
Nigga she probably says
>Thanks DK now I can perform my song but it's not until next week or tomorrow so I'll just hang out with you for now
It's a bloody post game in a scrimblo game
She's only there because the player needs her to keep playing the game and dick around even when they'll eventually run out of things to accomplish

>>715727751
There can be a cutscene of the live show, and then DK and Pauline can explore New Donk City.

I don't understand the hate for this game. It's the first time DK actually felt like a force of nature and not a cuck who dies from getting touched by a crocodile.

>>715727852
Again, if there was one we'd fucking see it by now
You're telling me after a whole day, with people making 100% guides, with so many people playing at once, with various people reaching the final boss, that NONE of them reached a secret cutscene?

>>715727935
Is there any hate besides snoys?

>>715728017
Only Eric hates Donkey Kong Bananza.
And he also hates the Pauline Jr. theory.

>>715727225
>the Cranky thing was a gag that Rare devs snuck under Nintendo's noses. It was never meant to be taken seriously

Can you just go fuck yourself? Even the JAPANESE manual of DKC (Super Donkey Kong) says that. Cranky being the original arcade DK has ALWAYS been a thing. And even Bananza still goes with it

>>715727978
If this game is like Oddysey, and its pretty fucking clear it is, theres still A LOT of game left undiscovered. All we have seen so far is just the MAIN story, the postgame is a completely different thing.

>>715728098
That okay, Pauline is clearly Mario's cousin now

>>715728386
>Can you just go fuck yourself? Even the JAPANESE manual of DKC (Super Donkey Kong) says that. Cranky being the original arcade DK has ALWAYS been a thing. And even Bananza still goes with it
It's a JOKE. The ramblings of a crazy old coot. Accept it, dork. You wasted your life on dumb lore shit inatead of enjoying the fucking games.

>>715728450
Wait Pauline is in the mario movie? I don't even remember.

>>715728623
Yeah it’s a cameo

>>715728386
>theres still A LOT of game left undiscovered
How long did it take for people to go through Odyssey's nook and crannies?

>>715727748
>4chins
>work

>>715728623
She’s the mayor of NYC in it. She’s on a TV for a brief cameo.

>>715725038
Very cute!

>>715727670
So does this confirm that the pedos are wagies? Because they aren’t go wild right now like they usually do.

FUUUUUUUCKKK
YOUUUUUUUUU

Uhh... Mareachsisters?

>>715727679
>They might reveal something massive.
If it's not in the game, it's not happening

>>715720971 (OP)
No.
The game sucks btw.
It's just more Mario Odyssey but more cringe with more dialog.

K Rool is so schizo in this game it’s amazing

>>715720971 (OP)
>DK Bananza: 13 year old Pauline plans a concert at city hall
>Mario Odyssey: 25 year old Pauline performs a concert at city hall
wtf? What took her so long?

>>715729816

>>715729825
Her being 13 for one.

>>715720971 (OP)
which concert?

>>715729825
New Donk City looks more modern in Donkey Kong Bananza than it does in Super Mario Oddysey.
I think Donkey Kong Bananza takes place 13 years after Super Mario Odyssey.

>>715729378
Kek. Just cancel and actually go to the store, you neet. No one buys physical anymore so they'll have stock. All the physical shitch games at my Target are all fully stocked

>>715730351
>New Donk City looks more modern in Donkey Kong Bananza than it does in Super Mario Oddysey.
How so?
Because there's neon?

>>715730434
Eric, why are you here?

>>715720971 (OP)
nope.

>>715725064
Kino

>>715730521
Everyone's wearing modern outfits and there are minimalist billboards everywhere.

>>715725180
Yikes thats somehow uglier than his actual design. I think I'll just stick to eBay

>>715730607
So? The art team wanted it to look a certain way. Don't overthink it.

which is worse?
Donkey Kong fucking your wife
or
Donkey Kong fucking your daughter?

>>715730940
can i fuck his wife?

>>715727670
snoyboy unable to understand the concept of people actually playing games instead of posting

>>715730940
DK fucking my wife makes me a cuck so yeah, that's worse

Oh no...

>>715731259

Physical or DL?

>>715731259
Mini-Land Mayhem! was one of my first Mario games.
I take Mario and Pauline's relationship more seriously than I do Mario and Peach's relationship.

When is the soundtrack dropping? I need to hear the Snake theme.

>>715730802
It takes place far in the future. This Pauline is Mario and Odyssey Pauline's granddaughter. She's short like Mario, her hair has an M shape, she goes "wahhh", and even does the same jump as him.

Fucking brainlets

>>715731536
>Still forcing this shit theory
It's over bro

>>715731617
Nothing in the game contradicts it

>>715731749
And there's nothing contradicting the universe resting on the palms of a rainbow colored gorilla riding a unicycle

>>715731536
Why their granddaughter though?
For the kongs, it makes more sense because they age faster.

>>715720971 (OP)
I don't like the world feel of this game so far. Everything being made with a paint tool and being destroyable makes everything feel so samey and lifeless. I made it to the start of the canyon and there is a severe lack of enemies, does it get better?

>>715731006
>Le boogeyman!
Grow up and take your meds. I dont even have a piss station and likely never will again because Sony makes nothing but hot hand holdy movie dogshit every few years now.

I played the demo and unfortunately for Nintendo it guaranteed i will not be buying it. World textures look awful, FPS constantly tanks and might even freeze, worlds are tiny, camera sucks ass, and i can guarantee you its 10 hours max. The levels are so tiny there's absolutely no way it's 20 hours or more unless theres like 50 of them (theres like 10 probably)

And Odyssey's movement was far more satisfying and fun to utilize than just punching and smashing rocks. This was a bad trade off. They should have just done another Mario.

>>715731964
You didn't even buy the game, Eric.
Why are you falseflagging?

>>715728539
Cranky is the original DK.
DK in Bananza is his 'good for nothing son', DK Jr.

>>715731998
>And Odyssey's movement was far more satisfying
its a shame the world design didn't fit it at all, thus canceling out the practically(and fun) of the moveset

>>715731998
So you aren't even a PS5 fan, Eric?

>>715731964
It doesn't

>THE DKC GAMES HAPPEN BEFORE THE MARIO GAMES
>dkc returns has a fucking shadow of the girder building and mario
>and samus' ship
So unless Samus was over 100 in Mario RPG...

What if Pauline had a sister?

>>715732185
>eric, eric, eric
You need to stop trolling and let people actually discuss the Nintendo games you claim to love

Kino ending.

>>715732352
Eric hates Pauline Jr.

>>715725064
That's all fanfiction.

>>715731998
oh hey look it's totallyplayedthedemofag (kioskfag for short), the guy who's been on every thread talking about how he got convinced out of buying this game after an in-store demo a day or two ago! i recognize the consistency in your bullshit story!

>>715731259
I'm surprised noone is trolling on social media with stuff portraying dk as a groomer

>>715732461
Also known as Eric.

>>715721702
At 13? She probably could have her school vouch for her if it's not just straight up nepotism

>>715732512
Yeah, I think it's because majority knows Nintendo doesn't care about continuity and forgets romance is a thing.
Hell, the last time Peach actually gave Mario a kiss was Mario & Luigi Dream Team. And that's a spinoff.

>>715732461
And you did not play the demo nor buy it. Youre just some weirdo shilling for free

>>715732317
This must be the Suzanne everyone was talking about

>>715729989
Out of 10!

>>715732582
no need for continuity talk, just post dk with heart eyes for older pauline and write "reminder that this is canon"

Admit it, a Super Pauline Sisters game would print money.

>>715731157
>>715731352

>>715721702
She performed well.

wanted to pick up bananza but the store i ordered from didn't have it yet...

>>715733150
she would get raped by niggers

>>715733150

>>715727035
Gotta collect bananas and master the Bananza trials. No idea what they give.

>>715733493
I bet completing all the trials is what gives her Diva outfit (what you can get from the amiibo).

>>715734295
She couldn't afford shoes, but she gets them at the end.
She lives with her grandma, blonde Lady Pauline, in an apartment, while her mother, Mayor Pauline is a workaholic.

>>715734219
Eric, please don't call us that.
We have already chosen our beautiful new era.

>>715734295
Probably as some sort of human-monkey connection. They’re bonding or some shit

This isn’t an attempt at bait or anything, but do any of you who have played it actually think this is a 10/10? I’m enjoying it well enough, but isn’t a 10 a bit much?

>>715732414
And he lost again.

>>715734958
The slow down within minutes of me starting already dropped it to a permanent 9

>>715732625

>>715735131
Nintendo is being vague.
They know Mario should have a daughter.

So you're telling me all this time DK and Pauline actually knew each other and were friends prior to DK kidnapping her? How surreal was it for Pauline to see that silly gorilla that was her childhood friend and hero kidnap her against her will with the sole intent of fucking her brains out?

>>715735427
DK the third knew Pauline and was friends with her. DK Jr and Cranky where the ones who kidnapped her.

uoh

>>715735581
That doesn't make sense
Cranky is too old and Pauline is too young

>>715732605
my copy literally came in 20 minutes ago, cope

The spaces between Pauline’s toes

>>715721186
Costs more than an actual concert ticket.

Tell me about Pauline.
Why does she say "Waaaah!"?

>>715735238
nope

>>715734958
Yes. The only negative is the frame rate but it’s not enough for me to drop it down

>>715727571
>Zelda recently did a series reset
>Star Fox did yet another series reset
> Pikmin recently did a series reset
>DK flirting with some kind of reset

what the fuck is with them lately

>>715736017
Why is it bad if Mario has a daughter?

>>715735667
Cranky was young enough to jump around girders and stuff until the DK 94 game. Get with the program.

>>715720971 (OP)
Pedo game

>>715730940
I'd be honored to have DK be my son-in-law, so the wife one is worse.

>>715736319
Please explain why

>>715730940
My wife is my personal hole. That one is way worse

>>715736123
Basically now begins the nintendo cinematic universe so they want to "clean" their IPs to make them easier to adapt to films.

>>715736123
Just face it, us nearly 40 year olds are in the minority still playing. They are using IPs to fit new generations. We still have good memories though

DK is for Candy
Mario is for Peach
Adult Pauline is for me

Simple as

>>715720971 (OP)
T-t-t-tranny

>>715737919
Mario will go back to Pauline.
Miyamoto must finish the story before he leaves.

>>715721702

Well that's because she's a midget.
A Mario midget.

yup it's gaming time

Do you actually plan on fucking a fan or will you always be a tease

>yfw nintendo put actual monkeys in their commercial to promote their monkey

>>715740068
They fake aged her up

>>715720971 (OP)
So what's the reason for the timeline fuckery or are we just not supposed to care?

>>715733150
I don't like this

>>715742025
Yeah, she should be barefoot.

>>715742025
Yeah me neither, they gave her shoes for the final splash screen but they couldn't bother modeling them for when she came back during the post game? A bit backwards if you ask me

>>715727084
That's just the excuse to put Pauline back on DK's shoulders for the post-game.

>>715742025
can we please wait a month or so before a loli pauline rape doujin gets made?

>>715742229
Or maybe nobody has posted gameplay on YouTube of it yet.

>>715742025

Echoes of Wisdom is og timeline canon

how do you get the banana under the metal grate in the lagoon? I've already finished the area, but bananza kong and explosive rocks is doing nothing to it?
do I have to come back at a later date? if I wanted to backtrack, I'd play metroid.

The movement in this game is really fun. When you unlock the double jump you can do a lot of stuff. Grab chunk -> surf jump -> ZL -> double jump -> ZR for forward momentum -> ZL for roll. You can also do a spin jump while holding chunks. I went back to the first challenge stage and you can just skip the hanging entirely, there’s an entire path up there with gold and they put little dirt chunks near the entrance and the bananas. Game is really fun.

>>715743547
Are you talking about the one in the floating sewer pipes? There’s a lot but I’m only missing one and I’m pretty sure I got yours.
If it is, do a surf into a double jump from where Cranky is and you’ll reach it.

>>715743547

Dude, I can't believe you can't shut her up during gameplay.

I’ve wanted to experience a new Dong release with /v/ ever since TF on the WiiU when I was poor. I’m so excited

>>715744839
Change voice to German and she can be your lil dictator

>>715743856
this one near the style shop. I'm bad at maps so can't figure out if there's a place i can stomp from the sl100 down there.

>>715725038
Is there a place you'll post this when you're done?

I don't know what they did to the rolling but it's stupid satisfying. Roll>jump>roll feels so good
Odyssey probably had more movement options but Bananza feels better to play than Odyssey

>>715745541
another loss against DK..

In the second half of the fight, to knock him out of his Bananza, you do a charged Kong Bananza punch on the large cannonball he shoots at you. I also threw back gold chunks to make the smaller cannonballs blow up to stun him

>>715746390
blud think he malenia

>>715742025
hey look, it's the sauce boss

>>715735427
chronologically confused right now.
pauline is 13, right? and this is the "og" DK.
"junior" kidnapped pauline in donkey kong, and "junior" is DK in the animated series, but cranky is just as old and cranky as he is there in this game. and he refers to DK as if he's "junior" from the series.
is the DK in country the kid in donkey kong 2 then? and this DK is the one that kidnapped pauline for mario to save? because he wanted to use his banana on her.

>>715744959
Sex

I like new DK more than old DK. The game is kinda shit, Tropical Freeze and Country are still the best DK games.

Cutscenes are great and extremely charming but cutscenes are not gameplay

>>715745746
If it’s actually you post an image on your discord whore

I haven’t played a DK game before. As a big fan of Odyssey, how much would I enjoy this? I haven't seen many videos of Donkey Kong doing any platforming. It's always just punching the terrain.

>>715742607
What. All she does is post fake fan videos on her twitter.she’s afraid

>>715747690
Platforming only really happens in the bonus levels, DK can climb freely on most terrain

>>715747690
it's not a platformer. it's basically an open world sandbox.
emulate hulk ultimate destruction, if you like that, you'll like this.

>>715747690
shaping the terrain is the platforming, it doesn't feel like a mobile game unlike odyssey, DK has weight and acceleration, i believe you zoomretards call this "slippery"

time kinda messed up down there

How do you go back to previous levels? I apparently missed a banana during the prologue.

So it's a confirmed odyssey prequel?

>>715748538
Yep, and it's after DKC games.

>>715748238
these random pauline talks

Any art of her pregnant yet

>>715748638
And for further confimration

>>715748638
any mention of the 64 kongs?

where's the Pauline Jr. schizo? is he alright?

>>715748741
Lanky is on a billboard in NDC.
A bank is named after Tiny.
Chunky nowhere to bee seen.

>>715748661
Give it about 9 months

I can't believe we play as the DK that later tried to kidnap Pauline because he was horny for her. It's so weird seeing how pure their relationship used to be.

>>715727679
At this point, im thinking the next game will be something we have not seen before, Mario teaming up with DK, to fight Bowser and K.Rool. I could see it being a 45th or 50th anniversary game for the original Donkey Kong arcade. Its set after Bananza and an older Pauline (late teens/early 20s) asks her old friend DK to help save New Donk from K.Rool's new army. A young man Mario who is a blue collar every-man construction worker, thinks DK has kidnapped Pauline (or maybe DK is mind controlled) and they start out as enemies. They work together to fight K.Rool, who then reveals he is working with another evil king that is the true final boss or mid-point reveal or something and its Bowser, and the game ends with Mario traveling to the Mushroom Kingdom for the first time to help save that land from Bowser's empire expansion. Maybe also introduce DK Junior and Stanley into the mix so you can cover all three of the original DK arcade games in it with new explanations.

>>715748852
so.. little to nothing for them. kinda sad considering their game was the last 3d one before this

Can you change the audio language, like you could in Super Mario Wonder?

Is this the thread where I can rage because I'm poor and brown?

>>715748943
What, you didnt have a little girl living next door that eventually hit puberty and you ended up watching her from your upstairs window with a pillow over your lap?

>>715748719
>>715748638
What ugly eyes they gave them, and the worst part is that the in-game artwork uses the old designs. So inconsistent.

can I get a qrd on how this plays into the mario donkey kong universe? is this the dk from country?

>>715749123
It's amazing learning I'm not really autistic because nothing about these design "changes" has ever bothered me.

>>715749165
>is this the dk from country?
Yes, all country games (and DK 64) happen prior to this.

>>715748852

>>715748852
Chunky fucking died

how do you unlock the outfit from the amiibo? I scanned it in but all i got was kong letters.

>>715749318
>>715749251
good, the allegations finally caught up to him

>>715748852
>A bank is named after Tiny.

Tiny has not only grown big to be a model but turned her financial business sense into opening her own bank...

>>715729061
>t.

>>715724723
>slop
Fuck you and every faggot that keep using this gay term

>>715732512
DK might be a teen in this and the DKC games.

>>715749970
DKC happened prior to Bananza.

>>715750098
Yeah and?

>>715750098
I think Bananza is an explanation on why K.Rool was missing during DKC Returns. He was stuck underground for those games lol.

>>715748538
No. Sequel.

>>715748943
DK might've been only slightly older than her, same as Mario. Him and Mario are the same age according to Yoshi's Island DS, so they both could be a few years older than her.

>>715731928
Gorillas live to their 70's.

How are people confused by the timeline when even in the Mario Movie it's made clear that the protagonists of the original Donkey Kong arcade ARE NOT the current characters?

Lady and Pauline are not the same person, the game obviously hints at Lady being Pauline's grandma

Mario and Jumpman are not the same person

OG DK is still Cranky, Jr is still current DK (Nintendo themselves confirmed this with a Mario Kart World screenshot)

>>715727225
see
>>715641490

The camera really sucks when you're tunneling through the rocks.

>>715749527
Tiny has gone corpo...

>>715748787
He's on /vg/ seething and coping.

>>715727670
That tends to happen when people actually play games. The only reason I’m here is because of work

>>715748787
Probably, his theory wasn't proven wrong after all

>>715750602
>Lady and Pauline are not the same person
Nintendo says they are.
>Mario and Jumpman are not the same person
Nintendo says they are.
>OG DK is still Cranky, Jr is still current DK
Cranky is Cranky. DK is DK.
>Nintendo themselves confirmed this with a Mario Kart World screenshot
Proof?

>>715750331
IDK i've seen much more evidence that its a prequel

>spend several minutes manually throwing dirt to make a bridge to a banana

>>715751080
>Nintendo says they are.
Proof?

does the game get harder later on? It's fun but it just is stupid easy.

>>715720971 (OP)
so does the game have anything to do with greater "lore" or is it all self contained?

>>715751147
It's funny because people are so deadset on the prequel idea, yet nothing presented in the game contradicts the sequel/daughter theory. In fact, a prequel theory is more confounding and causes people to do the "it's a reboot" cope.

Nobody has an explanation for why young Pauline goes "wahhh" and "hoohoo" like Mario.

>>715751713
cappy is mario's son

>>715751640
yeah it fucked up the timeline but the game itself didn't bother to explain anything

>>715751713
>Nobody has an explanation for why young Pauline goes "wahhh" and "hoohoo" like Mario.
To tell kids she's a Mario character.

>>715745235
Did you find it yet? I just got on and did.
Destroy one of the huts nearby and you’ll find a hole.

>>715751713
And nobody outside of here has questioned it.

>>715751713
>prequel theory is more confounding
just quit coping man the game literally ends with young pauline starting her career in new donk city. You'll survive

>>715752019
That doesn't contradict the daughter theory

>Mario isn't actually in the game that saved Nintendo's video game business and let them become the company they are today, he showed up two years later
>The protagonist of arguably Nintendo's most important game of all time? He's a guy called Mario but he's literally never been seen in a game again, not in a Mario game, not in a Donkey Kong game, not even as a Smash Bros. spirit
I think that this is objectively what Nintendo is going for but it's a fucking retarded retcon. "Mario first debuted in 1983" is dumb as hell.
I unironically like Suzanne theory more because it doesn't erase Nintendo history even if the guy peddling it is annoying as fuck

>>715746023
Why couldn’t actual children do the voices? Sick of middle aged hags doing girls and boys voices

>>715752279
Not only does it not prove it either it's obvious to anyone who isn't autistically trying to make sure every game fits nicely what the implication is

>After you beat the first boss, Grumpy Kong just simply sits by and tells you that he'll beat you later and if you try to hit him it's a deflect
lmao based

Hey guys, I know they've said this is Mario but what if he's actually Mario's son? There's nothing that contradicts this so it must be true.
Yoshi's Island is also the latest game in the Mario series and Yoshi is delivering his son Marilyn to him.

>OG DK (Cranky kidnaps Pauline's grandma and fights Jumpman)
>Yoshi's Island (Mario and Luigi are born)
>Yoshi's New Island (Time travel shit)

>>715752709
TRUKE

>>715751713
It’s just to add the excited character sounds without Donkey Kong having to do it. Kids like it. It’s not that deep.

>>715750602
Then explain this.

There is no canon.

>>715752974
Stage show, like SMB3 is.

>Cranky Kong was the original DK
>Lady was the original Lady
>DK is the current DK and Cranky's grandson
>Pauline is the current Pauline and the original Lady's granddaughter
>Mario is both the original Mario and Jumpman, he's just an ageless immortal being who abuses 1-Up Mushrooms and is also maybe a pedophile
Prove this theory wrong. You can't.

>>715753096
Yes, SMB3 proves the actor thing

>>715753096
This is only true for the sports games.

Does the smashing gameplay help if you’re pissed from work

>>715725281

>>715753254
How did he revert to being a baby for the Yoshi games?

>>715750602
but pauline is in dk arcade, as is mario, the names were created by noa
how are you still confused that the actual answer is simply cranky is cranky and not dk

>try to punch the monkeys in ingot isle the beginning
>you high five them instead

Cute

>>715732805
laughing a real tragedy is not a joke

i just watched someone play it on stream

lol
lmao

i cannot believe anyone would actually buy this game. its literally a tedious "run around in circles collecting things" game. this is so bad. you all cant be serious right now. it doesnt even have cool DK music, its just some generic valley music.

holy shit i cant believe this is what DK is now, LMAO

>>715753459
He goes baby mode

>>715753459
Because it’s a prequel. Baby Bowser =/= Bowser Jr

>>715752361
You think it's retarded because it is retarded because it's your retarded creation and it's clearly not what the game is going for

Smashing is so addicting I can’t stop…

>>715753654
Yeah wasted like 2 hours in the tutorial area

>>715730434
I didnt buy a switch 2 and probably wont but holy hell is “shitch” the worst diss name ive ever heard for a console. Its so awkward to read and say

Bananza singlehandedly made the Mario/DK timeline almost as confusing and convoluted as the Zelda timeline. Quite an accomplishment for Nintendo.

>715753516
Hope you’re able to find a switch 2 soon, anon

Yoshi's Island isn't canon. It's told through the lens of a fairy tale or children's book. Just look at the prologue or the graphics of the game.

Anyone doing a 3 Heart Run?

just shut the fuck up about timeline and play the game

>40 year olds arguing about the lore of kid franchises

>>715753956
we would if the game was good

>>715753956
why do u think threads are so slow compared to pre launch
only losers/people who finished the game are here

>>715753813
There isn't a canon in the first place. It logically does not make sense to suggest that Super Mario 64 and Super Mario RPG take place in the same world. There are large inconsistencies about what is portrayed between different games. In the past, nobody cared about canons or timelines. Everyone simply took for granted that one of the main conceits of the games is that they can be whatever they want. Ultimately, this is correct >>715753096 and everyone knows it.

IN A BETTER SERIES!

the Wario universe. soon to be rebooted too

>>715755021
Does it matter? I mean they can take place anytime after he's done being a baby.

Can you go back to the tutorial level? I missed a banana

>>715755335
Nobody cares about Wario enough to reboot it

>>715755561
Ingot Isle? Yeah in post game.

>>715727670
>people that care are too busy actually playing the game
>instead of shitposting all day like me because i actually dont care about said game and dont even own it
Yep, thats it alright.

HE's in/spoiler]

>>715736123
I've a conspiracy theory that they're genuinely doing renewals and resets of all their series because after iwata died they're realising their main creatives like miyamoto are all old fucks who'll retire or die soon and so they're renewing everything to make sure it's set to last a few more decades, hence new lore, new actors, etc

>>715745885

>>715755871
>>715749527
just Lanky and Tiny

i watched a little of the game on some random twitch streams and it looked pretty fun
what is the consensus from people that have played it worth buying?

>>715757569
Am I the only disappointed that you can't explore this post-game?

>>715749123
The project started development nearly a decade ago.

>>715748238
What do you mean? Have you never heard of fossils?

>>715747416
I liked Dk64 back In the day but that gameplay aged like fermented monkeyshit. It's fucking awful and should be forgotten.

>>715749165
From the looks of things, it takes place after all the Country games, but before the arcade games.

>But Cranky Kong
Is apparently just an old ape whose senility grants him observational 4th wall breaking powers.

>But why does Donkey Kong kidnap Pauline later if they're friends here?
You can draw your own conclusions for that. I don't think anything in Bananza contradicts the first Donkey Kong game, so much as just recontextualizes it. For what it's worth, DK and Pauline having a friendly dynamic dates all the way back to the very era of said arcade game, though.

>>715721702
It's not that serious bro, it's a public building just one permit away for general usage.

>>715758510
holy shit shut up about your retarded cranky isn't original dk and is actually an alien skinwalker pretending to be him theory its retarded

Uhhh this has online features?

So is this game actually good? I've seen hardly any threads about it.

>>715731157
Haha

>>715757740
no

>>715758584
It's more retarded to take obvious meta jokes at face value, anon. Cranky consistently talks about being inside of a video-game. His mentioning being the original Donkey Kong is literally him referring to the arcade game as a game.

>>715758584
My stating that his senility grants him powers is a joke. Just like all the shit Cranky himself is. You not being able to tell is the entire reason you can't wrap your head around Cranky's purpose as a character.

The reason the Kremlings weren't in Returns and Tropical Freeze is because they got caught up in whatever Bananza is.

>>715759092
>Just like all the shit Cranky himself is.
*Just like all the shit Cranky SAYS himself is.
I typed that out too fast.

Pedo file game report it to the feds and get Nintendo closed down. The peds took our games we take theirs

>>715721702
How the fuck is she 13? She looks 6 or 7.
If she were 13, she should be like 90% as tall as adult Pauline, not half her size. Teenagers are more than 50% grown.

>>715732428
So what's the real story. I don't have a shitch 2.

>>715759312
That sure is Pauline III.

>>715759312
Every single person in the audience is a pedo btw.

>>715759443
This is true, but for whatever reason, cartoon teens keep being portrayed with younger and younger looking appearances, for some reason. I want to say that it might be that we've gotten to a point where people think drawing a person that age with any kind of physical development is considered "sexualizing" them, even though the teen ages are the period where that's what's happening to the body. I'm just taking a guess here, though. I don't actually know the real reason why this seems to be a trend with animated teen characters (if there even is a reason), but I have noticed it.

>>715752709
That's exactly why he's a separate slot

>>715759312
I really....dont care for Pauline

>>715759176
the fucking manuals from both the american AND japanese versions of DKC say clearly, in third person, with no room for misinterpretation, that Cranky IS the original arcade DK. its not just something he says.

what is your fucking problem!?

>>715753340
The platformers are all non canon, Galaxy 1 made it clear with pulling a Sonic 06 and erasing itself from happening which got further confirmed with Galaxy 2 being the same thing mixed with NSMB.

>>715759636
I think I know why she's short, but I'll leave that for you to consider on your own.

>>715759708
Nintendo knows this which is why they made her a loli.

>>715759598
She loves her grandma very much and wants to be just like her.

>>715759794
I saw a screenshot of her wearing a blonde Lady Pauline costume.

>>715731046
>dedicate your life to raising a piece of you, your little girl

>>715759443
Aged her up for Karens. That’s it. She’s really 6-8

Here is the Lady costume.

>>715760071
wtf, is there any rare dk costume? ala mario 64 in odyssey?

>>715759979
She's 13 because if we assume she's 18 in all games where she's an adult, it'll only be a 5 year time gap

>>715760071
Ninty has to be fucking with lorefags at this point.

>>715759708
I do care for Pauline, however.

>>715759312
So this is one of those kid beauty pageants?

so whats the lore?

>>715760486
From my understanding, this was from a 3rd party guidebook. Japan never actually got the memo back then that Lady was renamed to Pauline for the American release of Donkey Kong. It was obvious that Jumpman was renamed Mario, considering his consistent presence, but Pauline became a bit obscure for a very long time.

>>715760486
That is from a third party guidebook, the "lady" art is unofficial. Pauline didn't get her name in Japan until the gameboy game, leading to confusion over her redesign before Nintendo clarified it.

>>715760669
Jumpman (Mario and Luigi's grandfather), Lady (Pauline's grandmother) and Cranky were in Donkey Kong.

>>715760071
What a slut

If you wanna cite manuals, have you read the one for Donkey Kong Land? Stop taking this shit so seriously.

>>715760554

>>715760982

>>715760669
Mario dated his cousin, Pauline.

>>715761105
Absolutely.

>>715760851
hmm, i was hoping it would be an actual thing said in the interview, this is kinda useless

Busty women exist. Having variety in body types is absolutely necessary, yes. For both male and female characters.

>>715761207

all of DK and Pauline's costumes... the Family costume is related to the famicom, namely the color. and yeah: that Pauline only has one costume with shoes is retarded, she should have more shoe options, or shoe options at all. regardless of the whole 'she could be hurrting DK' sense.

it sure is retarded when you add shit like "it's an alien skinwalker" to shit no one is saying, yes

>>715759752
I mean, she isn't JUST short, but also underdeveloped. Especially curious when you consider how busty she is as an adult. But late bloomers do exist, too, so... eh. I dunno.

>>715761812
>>715760071

>>715761990
Is this real??

>>715761990

>>715762252
yes

>A CERTAIN KONG IN THE PRIME OF HIS YOUTH. HIS AMAZING SKILL AT HANDLING BARRELS HAS BEEN PASSED DOWN TO HIS DESCENDANTS.

>>715762395
>rarefags will look at this and say "a certain kong" means cranky

>>715762217

>>715761647
>she should have more shoe options
No

>>715761498
Why are you so mad? If it makes you feel any better, then consider it a damn "retcon". But it's clear that Nintendo's stance on Cranky's "true identity" (if that's what you want to call it) has never been consistent. Or more to the point, that they've never been consistent about Donkey Kong's "true identity". Especially with how often they treat Donkey Kong as having always been THE Donkey Kong. Bananza is just another example of that, but one where it's a lot more blatant because it actually ties into the story.

The lore just got deeper.

>>715762395
Nintendo's fucking with everyone and everyone's taking the bait: hook, line, and sinker.

>>715725180
where is pauline fleshlight

>>715762565
The Returns one looks more comfy

>>715762395
How the fuck does this make any sense if Bananza is a prequel? What the fuck is even going on anymore? This is just shit writing at this point.

>>715760071
>>715762217
>Lady's Dress

Sounds like they're implying Lady is a separate character...

>>715762395
Maybe Cranky really is a 4th wall breaking eldritch abomination from beyond space time after all.

>>715762493

>>715744959
>nigger monkey allowed
>white monkey not allowed
i hate it

>>715762737
Lady isn't Pauline, original arcade game no longer stars Mario but Jumpman, his ancestor.

>>715762790
They do the same thing all the time with referencing the Jumpman name for Mario. It's just a fun reference to her old name.

>>715762737
Bananza IS a prequel to Mario, the ENTIRE DK series is a prequel to Mario, Country included.

What layer are the dresses from?

So where are these "technical issues" and slowdown supposed to happen? The only slowdown I've experienced is a split-second when opening the map.

>>715762395
Can somebody post what this costume looks like? I'd also be interested to see the descriptions of Lady's Dress and Arcade Dress.

>>715762943
Lagoon Layer, the first layer after the tutorial area

>>715762737
it's a joke
dk is the original donkey kong but also we joke about the original donkey kong being cranky, as a joke, as a reference to the brand being refreshed
it's a joke, it's a 4th wall break joke, just like the plot of land being cranky wanting them to fight on the game boy
how the fuck are rarefags so autistic they can't understand this, it's embarrassing even for rare themselves since they were clearly aware they were writing jokes

>>715762395
Cranky won

>>715762985
it's just arcade kong as a fossil anon

>>715762737
Cranky being so old that he's arcade DK has always just been a meta running gag. You're not really supposed to think too hard about the logistics of it.

>>715763069

>>715762395
ok the devs are full of shit, im just taking cranky as arcade dk and lady as Pauline's grandma, fuck it

>>715763012
Ok.

>>715761847
Just play Princess Maker

>>715762737
it's not a prequel, prequelfags can't seem to understand this however

>>715763069
Please tell me you're just taking the piss.

>>715762737
Donkey Kong Bananza is the game that chronologically bridges the gap between DK and Mario:
>Donkey Kong
>Donkey Kong Jr.
>Donkey Kong 3
>Donkey Kong Country
>Donkey Kong Country 2
>Donkey Kong Country 3
>Donkey Kong 64
>Donkey Kong Bananza
>Mario Bros
>Super Mario Bros
>rest of the Mario series...
>Super Mario Odyssey

>>715762983
It only noticeable if you start wrecking a bunch of shit and there were a few fps drips at the tutorial but it's the most nothingburger complaint desu. Its not even intrusive and fps drops here is something you wish most PC ports had instead of being completely unplayable like Monster Hunter Wilds.

>>715763198
Gameboy DK is a stage show so you can include that post Bananza

>>715762860
No way, is that real fucking hair

>>715763123
>>715763069
>>715763112
jesus fucking christ how autistic can you be that an obvious wink and nod is so misunderstood
if you fuckers want to be this literal then how the fuck do they explain the fossils existing at all if it's not been millions of years since donkey kong country? are diddy and dixie immortals now? or is the existence of the fossils a meta joke? I wonder!

>>715763198
>>715763258
will you shut up with this
>Donkey Kong Country
>Donkey Kong Country 2
>Donkey Kong Country 3
>Donkey Kong 64
>Donkey Kong Bananza
>Donkey Kong
>Donkey Kong Jr.
>Donkey Kong 3
>Mario Bros
>Super Mario Bros
>rest of the Mario series...
>Super Mario Odyssey
You know this is the actual order, stop being an autist

>>715763123
You're saying that as if that's not the most rational answer.

>>715763296
Cope >>715762395 the game keeps confirming arcade DK is cranky

>the zebras are black
>they talk like zoomers

lmao

>>715763352
no, according to you, the game says the original DK existed millions of years ago and became a fossil, since we're meant to take obvious meta jokes literally

>>715763352
It's called a running gag, anon.

>>715763112
Allow me to throw a monkey wrench into this.

>>715727178
Docked or Undocked?

People really coming up with the wildest timeline theories when it's obvious Pauline got deaged when she turned into a rock and got back to normal off-screen before Odyssey.

i feel like pauline's assless chaps are gonna be popular for porn

>>715763296
I dunno man, your explanation and timeline order honestly makes things more complicated than it should be.

>>715763428
>>715763396
They could outright state and you'd still be calling it a meta joke. Accept it cranky won

>>715762470
>>715763030
>>715763296
>>715763396
i'll give you the (You) you've been begging for

>>715762395
Is there one for 8-bit Pauline?

>>715763112
*ahem*

>>715763435
Oh, guess this guy already beat me to it.

>>715763482
But there's nothing that even implies de-aging.

>>715763556
not as far as i know, but this is the final fossil in the game
but i'm watching a streamer

Why are people so convinced this takes place before the arcade game?

>>715763435
>>715763590
what is the point being made here

>>715762395
But what does it say in Japanese?

>>715763225
>yet another nothingburger about the Switch 2 and/or its games gets massively overblown by consolewarfags and doomposting retards
Wow, what a shock.

>>715763665
They hate old people and think they aren't telling the truth no matter how much evidence there is.

>>715763665
This is what happens when you make a shitty game, you put a shitty nonsensical story so people pretend it's profound and spend years trying to analyze it, in other words, Donkey kong is FNAF tier now.

>>715763665
They keep thinking Pauline and Lady are the same person when the game itself implies that they're not, so they're using the excuse of Cranky lying about being the original DK for no inexplicable reason.

>>715763795
>FNAF
Oh, c'mon now.

>>715763665
Because Pauline is a child here and an adult in the arcade games?

>That's Lady, not Pauline.
Oh? (pic related)

>>715763675
The point is that the DK Jr. design being shown by that fan recreation isn't unique to him. That's just how both DK and DK Jr. looked during the late 80s and early 90s, before DK 94 and DKC existed, but during the Super Mario era.

>>715763532
"the character named donkey kong is donkey kong, and any contradiction is always a meta joke, from the same developers who had other obvious meta jokes like a character wearing the publisher and developer's logos or want to be a videogame hero" that's more complicated than it should be? Really? "The character that was created to be the character he is, is the character he is" is complicated?

>>715763865
Strange because this >>715762860 which is in game says otherwise

>>715763865
>Mario Mario
>Luigi Mario
>Lady Pauline
>Pauline Pauline

>>715763902
No it doesn't? It just refers to "Lady", as a meta joke, because that was the first name the character had. Is the game contradicting anything by referring to the DK from DK Arcade as "8-bit", or is it just making a reference that we the audience get?

>>715763902
What does it say? I haven't seen anyone post the description yet. I have yet to see anything explicitly state that "Jumpman" and "Lady" aren't just alternate defunct names for Mario and Pauline.

>>715763887
Well yeah, especially since Cranky in this game isn't really as meta as he used to be, and they even got rid of the Nintendo logo on Diddy's hat. I know Cranky's an old coot, but I don't know why taking his word at face value IN THIS GAME SPECIFICALLY would even be considered contriversal.

>>715764017
>meta joke
This isn't a rebuttal I don't see how calling a costume lady is a joke. Stop coping your headcanon is wrong.

>>715764204
>your headcanon is wrong
NTA, but what "headcanon"? There's so much shit from the 80s, PRE-SMB, that refer to the characters as Mario and Pauline.

>>715763865
>citing nintendo power secondary source that calls peach by her westoid fanfiction name as evidence of a character's canon name
It has to be parody at this point. Nobody is this dumb.

>>715764293
>There's so much shit from the 80s
That was on the US side while the Japanese didn't adopt Pauline for much longer. So this is just returning back to the Japanese view.

>>715764385
Anon, 95% of everything that came out in the old days referred to her as Pauline. And this was all clearly before DK 94 even existed. What are you trying to get at?

>>715764184
It is a rebuttal, because the whole thing stems from a joke where Cranky Kong would ramble about newfangled Super Nintendo graphics. Even shit like >>715762395 is explicitly breaking the fourth wall (unless you think "8-bit" signifies something in-universe).

It was never intended to be more than a funny haha "Cranky is so old he's from the 8 bit era" running gag.

>>715764385
>>715764437
Matpat's stupid theories have rotted everyone's brains. Do you all think Rosalina is Luigi and Peach's daughter, too?

>>715760939
It's a remake of the same game. Even features the arcade levels first.

>>715763662
They don't really explain the whole Odd Rock plot point very well at all.

>>715764184
Because his face value in this game is "I fought a guy in overalls". He never even says he fought Mario!

>>715761030
>>715761105
This is canon?

>>715764514
Just because it goes through the same motions doesn't make it a remake.

>>715764526
Donkey Kong got Odd Rock'd, too. He didn't turn into a child.

>>715764584
Then why he is running around with his tongue sticking out he never did that before

>>715764580
The game is literally just called Donkey Kong. People just call it Donkey Kong 94 to distinguish it.

>>715764504
Well the devs must have watched matpat according to you because they on our side here.

>>715761890
We need futa Pauline on Loline selfcest r34 now.

>>715764578
Yes

>>715764676
Except nobody's posted anything that actually states Lady and Pauline are two separate entities. Simply having an outfit that uses Pauline's archaic practically prototype name doesn't prove that she's a different character.

>>715761812
The outfits in this game aren't that good, especially when compared to Odyssey.
Too many recolors.

lil Pauline is ugly

>>715764773
>It's not outright stated so it's not true!
It's called implying something anon. They want you to use your brain to connect the dots. This is deep Donkey Kong lore dare I say dark souls esque.

>still no clear recording of the bananza songs
AAAAAAAAAAA

>>715765060
I'm still waiting for the Mario Kart World OST rip.

I'm from sub level 999
We are gonna make it bros

>just finished the game
>pauline wants me to see the elder
>first one wants 300 fucking bananas
>check my stats screen
>exactly 300
i don't even want to know what the requirements are gonna be for the rest of them if i JUST BARELY got enough for the 1st rehersal

>>715765060
This. Why isn't anyone dropping a clear rip of the soundtrack already?

>>715764908
man don't talk about implications when rarefags are repeatedly failing to understand basic implications of "this is a joke about real life games"

>>715764584
>Donkey Kong got Odd Rock'd
No, he got petrified, Pauline got turned into a little rock gremlin.

>>715764493
To be fair, this is from the same devs that had Mario do an 8-bit transformation throughout Odyssey. Like that's not even a meta thing, that's just a weird thing Mario can physically do for some reason.

>>715764569
Exactly, since Mario should also be a teen around the time of Bananza. This pretty much implies that Jumpman is a separate character at this point. Not sure who Jumpman would be specifically, but I have a gut feeling it's Giuseppe from the Mario movie.

>>715764729
Good heavens, I want to suck those milk bags!

>>715762860
>Lady’s dress
Anyone happen to know how it’s called in Spanish?

>>715764729
>nipples poking out
whats the mod called

>>715765246
>Giuseppe
That character only exists as a way to make fun of Mario's video game voice. Also, the movie shouldn't be taken into consideration when talking about the games.

>>715765095
>>715765156
no "rips" since no one is able to rip the game yet
but unlike Odyssey this game has a soundtrack player, surely they have found the CDs

>>715721702
May or may not be the mayor's daughter

>>715765561
The soundtrack player is dogshit, since it's a jukebox for some god damn reason they just made it reproduce songs in extremely low quality
See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQCpeeMBR20&ab_channel=Shacknews

>>715722104
mute button.

Technically speaking Pikmin 4 never screams out its a reboot
It's just fucking obvious going by what's shown in-game

>>715765880
Is that an option?!

>>715766019
just checked and its not she yaps way too fucking much for there to not be a mute option like they did with the talking flowers in mario wonder

pauline even has those talks everytime DK sleeps. watch that have some random big lore
