  • An exhaustive look at all the Kongs that got less of the spotlight over the years in the Donkey Kong Franchise. While you may know some of them, there's a whole bunch of scrapped and abandoned Kongs in this family still waiting for their shot to return somewhere. Join me as I discuss the rest of the Kongs (Donkey, Diddy, Dixie, and Cranky have their own videos)

    I like to imagine that Tiny Kong’s redesign is because she tried to use her size changing powers, to be bigger instead of smaller and things went about as well as using a Monkey’s paw. It gives a reason for why no one else has aged and if Wrinkly can become a ghost I don’t see why this also kinda dark idea could’ve happened.
    Would also be cool if the jungle beat bosses came back and got some personality.

    • @BlinksAwakening
      @BlinksAwakening Год назад +17

      I think the size change lines up with what became of Wrinkly Kong and the original DK. Time actually moves forward for the Kongs as our real years go by, and they all age: DK grows into an old Cranky Kong, Wrinkly dies of old age, and Tiny moves through puberty into her teens.
      Makes me curious what has become of Kiddy Kong at this point.

    @escopeto7849 Год назад +38

    6:37 Here's my take then: The fedora wearing Kong was to be named something like "Lefty Kong" (like Frank "Lefty" Rosenthal) and filled the role of Funky Shop or Cranky's Cabin.
    I'm guessing he'd supply the Kongs with Animal Buddy crates to use in a variety of levels, buying a crate for the Kong Coins (and giving them a second purpose aside from the 1-Ups) for a single use. This is all just theory, but it fits the theme of having a supporting Kong, and we know that at that point in time, Kongs could come from anywhere.
    Also an animal buddy called Ram Bunkshus was clipped along with fedora Kong, so we can assume wishful thinking on the developer's part.

    Oh yeah, if(more like when) we get that DK spinoff Movie, I can definitely see the other Kongs being heavily expanded on. Plotwise it might be something along the lines that Cranky is about to retire as the ruler of the Jungle Kingdom which makes DK the next in line. The Boss Kongs from Jungle Beat don't think he's worthy to be king though and challenge him for the throne, but while that internal conflict is occurring the Pirate fleet of the Kremlings plan their invasion of the whole Jungle Kingdom-and DK will have to contend with all that+ the responsibility of being king now.

    • @MagillanicaLouM
      @MagillanicaLouM Год назад +6

      Yeah i always headcanon'd that jungle beat takes place first as current DK's test to become the prime Kong to lead and defend against enemies. The extra details i like to include are: Cranky and Final Kong are old rivals and Final took over while Cranky was dealing with Mario.

    • @Nick-up5wv
      @Nick-up5wv Год назад +4

      I'd say Jungle Beat happens after Mario vs. DK for the Gameboy. So Mario chases him out of New Donk City and into the Jungles. When DK arrives he goes through DK Jungle Beat. After proving himself worthy of being future King DKC, DK Land, DKC2/DKL2,DKC3/DKL3 happen. Than DK finds some Bongos and Donkey Konga happens. Than DK64. Than DK:KOS and so on and so forth.

Not for the games anyway, I imagine a DK film would tone her down and just in general they change up the designs a bit of pretty much every Kong that appeared in SMB movie anyway. But otherwise she's fine as she is. Especially with how Nintendo has done Pauline lately, I don't think they'd see an issue with the current Candy design they made themselves lol.

    The Kongs are probably my favorite video game characters yet.

I’d always thought of the Manky Kongs as a separate species or race of Kongs, and imagined that there was some weird race war going on between the two that pushed the Mankies to join up with the Kremling Krew. Lanky’s a defector I guess.

Your backstory for Mankey Komg and having Lanky rebel would be amazing for a DK movie. Maybe as a subplot for King K Rool’s comquest for Kong Island or even a full fledged sequel where Mankey is the main villian and that is where we see Lanky Kong. I dunno, it could work!

    This is probably my new favorite RUclips channel for its level of love and dedication for Donkey Kong that Nintendo will almost certainly never display again.
    I'd also like to point out an odd change in some of the Kongs. Kongs that resemble DK (Cranky, Wrinkly, Funky, Swanky, etc.) had their noses altered about the time of the Konga games' conclusion, around 2005, DK aside, these Kongs had their noses changed up so that their nostrils protruded up off their snouts. For DK, for some reason, this nostril protrusion did not happen until around the time of Mario Kart 8, about 2014, and can be best seen by comparing DKC Tropical Freeze on the Wii U and on the Switch.
    Funnily enough, Konga's conclusion seemed to coincide with the end of the Rare style of DK characters, as Cranky and K. Rool, just as two examples, were last seen with their Rare-inspired designs in Konga 3. Thereafter, their designs not only altered their noses but their overall designs as well.
    I prefer the older designs, myself, but I love all the Kong designs, even Uncle Kong's.

      I love this notion.
      To add to it, I figure Lanky would be a legit orang', he was just mistaken for a sasquatch as a baby & begrudgingly taken in by Manky(s) as their own.
      Could have good reverse "Ugly duckling" energy, methinks.

    A bit of a stretch but in Advance Wars there's a Black Hole CO named Flak. He's a big brute who isn't very bright (his CO quirk is that he randomly deals more or less damage in a regular basis). In Japan his name is Kong (the Black Hole COs in Advance Wars 2 follow an animal motif).

    That discussion of the Manky Kong war is so damn hilarious. I think it comes back to the internal hilarity of the Manky artwork you used.
    Thank you also for mentioning Bluster in Super Mario Kun, and referring to the DKC Cartoon trading cards. That’s kinda the only place to find clean artwork of the show’s OC characters like Skurvy and Bluster.

    The reason Dixie was overlooked in favour of tiny Kong in Donkey Kong 64 was apparently earlier in development there was a mandate to only use characters from the first Donkey Kong Country. That was later ignored but they'd already created tiny and chunky by that point

    Fun theory: mini donkey kong is cranky kong as a child. If he was the original donkey kong, that means that “mini” donkey kong would be to him was baby donkey kong is to our modern dk. And he’s in a game and watch game, so that would be neat placing his childhood self there. Extremely retro childhood for the old geezer who thinks “games today aren’t what they used to be!!”
