New Donk City is Strange
Super Mario Odyssey is a triumph of a game, but New Donk City, specifically the traditional festival mission, gets weirder and weirder the more you think about it. Based on the setting of the original Donkey Kong game, the residents of The Metro Kingdom have a borderline obsession with the past. There's also some weird geographical questions that are to be raised when you think about how it fits in with its setting, which is supposed to be New York City. But yeah that Traditional Festival Celebration part of the game is really weird because it seems like they sacrifice another Donkey Kong? I don't know, man. I don't know.

    Does nobody else find it strange that Cranky Kong, the og Donkey Kong, is an extremely old man, yet Mario and Pauline haven't seemed to age a day? At least 40 years have passed in universe since Donkey Kong, and Mario has appeared the same age since that game. Is Mario eternally 35 years old? Are all the humans immortal as well?

    I'm going to ignore what Miyamoto said because this is NOT New York, its the mario universe's equivalent of it. Its definitely in an alternate timeline where all this wacky stuff exists, but some things are mostly similar. As for the name? I dont think the city was named after DK, I think DK was the one named after the city. Just my theory though 😅

    Man finds the land of the Donk. Man claims the land and its name, Man begins building a city. Donk takes the highest ranking member of Man’s society as a hostage in retaliation. Man jumps on Donk, enslaves Donk, and the project to build a city continues. Man is remembered as a Hero. Donk escapes to island. Forms new country.

    Id like to think that the "humans" in new donk city are actually more like creatures like in the other kingdoms. Lile mario and peach are real humans and the citizens are... Something else. Its not hard to believe the creature people are governed by a human (Pauline) though, cuz if u think about it princess peach rules over the toads.

      @jockson7574 День назад

      Yeah similar to how mobius and earth were different planets in the sonic universe until Sega retconned it and made it simply one planet being earth. Maybe it’s the same situation with Mario? Or he’s simply on earth

    New Donkers have invoked the Idea in me that Mario, Luigi, Peach etc. are all Decendens of New Donkers who migrated to Mushroom Kingdom some time ago and since have interbreed with the Toads.

    I don't think the advertisements are anything that makes the city weird if your ok with me saying this, it's like how cities like New York just have tons of them in times square. Considering that their also throwing an important festival where the mayor herself is gonna perform, it's necessary to get the word out. I'd say that this was the most normal thing about New Donk City.

    6:56 idk if its canon but in mario vs DK for the ds Dk kidnaps Pauline but at the end it turns out to be just an act an that dk an Pauline were planning a party for mario So idk they must be cool with each other to some extent if one of them basically fakes a kidnapping plot and thens like jk party time

  • @natto4now
    @natto4now День назад

    Okay so this is just me going off some theory and off my head information that might be wrong but i just happened to remember hearing The mario that fought cranky wasnt our mario but jump man, an in the same way cranky is related to dk i think (dont quote me on this it's basically a game theory) jump man is related to mario (maybe his dad idk) an that Pauline might also be a relative of mario (a theory if jumpman is marios dad and Pauline is JMs romantic interest, that would make Pauline Mario's mom) Also if Pauline is the same one from the OG game, let me say that she aged way better than cranky kong

    Yeah it makes sense that some games don't have a lore reason since.. their own lore would have to make some leaps to justify it (ie some Overwatch characters are explicitly enemies yet in PvP work together as a well oiled machine)
