DKC Atlas Forum

It's either that, or nonexistence. Character designs change over time, boohoo. You think any of the Mario cast look the same as they did when they first came out - heck, even as they did ten years ago? Are they all still not recognizably the same characters as they're being billed as? If so, then th...

Or they could have just given her a normal freaking name, one that actually exists and isn't a fragrant misspelling and abuse of the English language, that oh look, still has the y sound to it. Which they did. "Should have", ugh.

The thing that I always found amusing as I was playing New Super Mario Bros. was that it really, really seemed evocative of the DKCs in a couple of respects. Most obviously there's the Star Coin system, comparable to having multiple DK Coins in a level (also similar to things like the Crystal Shards...

That was the slogan of the Gamecube version as well.

Will it be able to play King of Swing without exploding on Treacherous Twister? I imagine not, since No$gba couldn't either.

My favourite Mario game is Super Mario Galaxy. I'm as surprised as you.

2. Super Mario Bros. 3/Super Mario World
3. Super Mario World/Super Mario Bros. 3 (aheh)
4. Paper Mario
5. Uh, eh, Super Mario Bros., I guess.

A Diddy-helmed series or even just another game starring him is the most logical option, I'd say, to the point where I'd almost expect it to happen in a few years. I once had a crappy fanfiction idea for a game which basically consisted of a DKC story with DK kicked out so Diddy could take the foref...

No.

Bob-omb's were in Yoshi's Island. That one is null and void. A game that came out long after. What's your argument again? The thing I'm attacking is the idea that SMB2 didn't happen in any form and none of the characters introduced there made continuing appearances afterward bar two, which I have s...

So apparently Link's Awakening isn't canon to Zelda, either. You know, all a dream and all that. (And oh look, Wart was in that too.) I disagree. Wart is clearly not canon, nor are most of the enemies that were introduced in "SMB 2" (Only ones are Birdo and Shy Guys) Other than that, the o...

It was in the middle of a discussion that was basically about whether or not homosexuals were decent people, and you were distinctly on the "no they're not" side. So yeah, you said it.

Actually, you were banned for calling me gay, and insinuating that was a bad thing. Yes, I know you apologized, but I'm getting the truth out there.

Cough, cough, cough. I'm on deviantART. That's pretty much it. This is the first forum I've actually been to in an entire year. None of the other places I looked around (NinDB, Smashboards) looked very appealing (I refuse to go to any place that uses "rape" as an acceptable adjective, for ...

I'd like it to exist, frankly, though I am certainly not holding my breath for a platformer, 2-D or 3-D.

Really, the only thing character-wise they could do for me is to put a Wario Ware character in there. I'd prefer Mona, but I'd pretty much take anyone. (For the Double Dash idea, Dribble and Spitz in their taxi is so obvious and awesome you'd think they were made just for it.) I wouldn't say no to a...

Only three characters require the unlocking of expert ghosts: Funky Kong (4), Baby Luigi (8), and the second Mii outfit (all of them). The other two time trial characters, Birdo and Toadette, just require you to play the courses in time trial, not beat. Every other staff ghost in-between is just wor...

Yeah, quality aside, it was one of the top selling N64 games (nearly 4 million copies, specifically). But then I have taken care to notice that this is a pretty youthful board, and most people don't get expensive video game systems when they're young as sin (I was fortunately an exception to that ru...

You people still think using multiple exclamation points makes you cool?

CaptainEddie, you were one when the Virtual Boy came out. I highly, highly doubt you have ever even laid eyes on one, let alone played it. I was six years old and a massive Nintendo fan, and I didn't even get to play it. So I doubt you have any position to say on the quality of the system or whether...

I don't really think Brawl is supposed to be that type of game that is supposed to represent everything to an exact. As of Brawl, every single series from the original N64 game has at least two characters except for F-Zero and Yoshi. And F-Zero has its most likely second character ruled out in Braw...

You know what game Namco also didn't make? Ms. Pac-Man. And that wouldn't work. This would. Especially considering all the platformers he's been in. Not that I'm arguing for Pac-Man to get in, if there's ever going to be a third third party I really want it to be Mega Man, but I'm saying that it's n...

If the series is so popular then why has every single game since Maximum Velocity (hell, probably since X) bombed? Why did we not get F-Zero Climax outside of Japan? Why did Shigeru Miyamoto himself basically call GX a bad game? We're going on five years since the last game was released anywhere , a...

Falcon is a character who's loved by everyone just because of how awesome he is. They love him. They don't love his series, nor are they intrigued to check out his series. And again, he is not a representation of how he actually is in the games. Why? Because Sakurai gave him those move in Smash 64?...

Kill Assist Trophies dead. The idea of ruling out entire goddamn franchises (and that IS what they're doing, think twice before you think of requesting your favourite character as a glorified Pokémon, because they'll stay that way ) goes against everything this series should be about. I weep for Cus...

Just noticed this... Back on topic, though I like seeing so much DK treatment in the Mario Sports, I hope they never start spilling Mario into the DK series. That would suck.... You speak of a logical impossibility. There is no way in hell that they would make a Donkey Kong "Country" game,...

And there is where we differ, for I find that game's roster is be absolutely flawless, and one of the big reasons why I love that game so much.

The very blatant lack of actual Donkey Kong music in the entire trilogy says all that needs to be said about the quality of the games. Just so everyone knows, the pre-existing Donkey Kong songs from all three games amounts to the following: The Smash Bros. Melee DK Rap remix The Smash Bros. Melee Ju...

Voice clips don't matter, it's voice actors, which coincidentally every DK character now has thanks, again, to Barrel Blast. With admitted oddities, like how - at least from what I've watched - K. Rool and Kritter doesn't sound particularly anything like they do in last year's Paon games. If I wante...

I can sum up how you'd get me to buy a Donkey Kong music game in about two sentences: Go play Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix. Study it thoroughly and rip it off mercilessly. I mean, jesus christ. 29 songs, ALL remixed, most of them being Mario tunes from the most obscure places you could think of...

I find it hilarious that people hate on Barrel Blast for using Wii controls, since that's the entire point of the system. I would say it's a far better realization of Nintendo's goal with the Wii then Mario Galaxy essentially just using it as a glorified mouse w/spinning feature. Not to mention it's...

Obviously the most important DK-related addition to the Mario Party series is Diddy's appearance in MPDS, though obviously not playable and probably never will be unless DK gets in again (unlikely), he even got a new render out of the deal. You're going to see the number of DK stuff appearing in Mar...

There are perpetual rumours floating around, usually on Wikis like 'pedia and the Mario Wiki, that say that Tiny Kong is playable in the game (in her 64 look, most certainly). I have never seen this verified, largely because Konga 3 media is extraordinarily hard to come by. I'd be willing to dismiss...

The changes to the Donkey Kong series that Paon has brought about are completely natural and in line with how every other Nintendo series has evolved since their inception. It's illogical to think that the world and cast would be the same now as they were in 2001 even if Rare was still at the helm (...

Hmmmm.... You don't think there's something going on between Luigi and Daisy, do you?

Nooo, that was never even implied at all, not even back in Mario Tennis when they brought her back.

Can't say I think PAON's changes to the DK series are an improvement in any respect. Never said they were improvements, just changes. And really, you have a choice: have all this stuff come back, changed like every other game series changes when time passes and hands are changed, or you can never h...

Since when is it weird for K. Rool to don an alternate outfit?

It's a bit late to complain about Diddy's bat, since everyone uses the same one they had in Mario Superstar Baseball. (Besides, Baby DK gets the banana.) Kritters are and will always be drones. The one in Barrel Blast was no more individual than the one playable in King of Swing (unless you want to ...

Snake is in because his creator asked for him to be in. Simple.

Diddy didn't show up in a previous game in a role that the developer specifically said was for characters that he didn't think would work as playables. Ridley and Goroh and all the other people may have a shot... if Sakurai isn't the developer of the next game. EDIT: And I should point out that even...

If only it was just five years... And the fact that Sakurai nor anyone else on the project ever said after the fact that they had expanded the AT concept (remember, that interview I linked you to was done after the game was out, at least in Japan), combined with everything else I know about the game...

How did you go about choosing these characters? Sakurai The most important thing was simply whether or not it would make players hap...

Yay quoting. With the exception of Ridley, maybe. Twice. Ridley's gone. He is never, ever being playable. If they felt they had any shot of doing so, they wouldn't have made him a boss. Don't expect him, don't hope for him, don't get pissed when they don't include him in the next one, because he's b...

Of course then I get Funky's card and it lists his rookie year as 1999... eh, can't win them all.

I will assume that Namco came up with the outfit until I see the supposed Paon game that features it. (In other words, I will always assume it.)' Incidentally, Tiptup, since you've apparently seen all the cards and going to find them all the way the site intends sounds like a colossal pain in the ne...

Which is still better than I expected: I figured K. Rool (alongside Kritter and Tiny) wouldn't get a render at all, since Namco's not too big on making new ones. I can't get this stupid card site to load the sign up process, but on the Japanese site they use Funky and Dixie's JC renders to represent...

Does it have to? Levels, I mean. Mario Kart normally doesn't go for the established locale feel. Sure, there's a few , but for the most part it does its own thing. And really, you have the choice of new characters in a cameo game or new characters in adventure games that are few or far between. Of c...

Frankly I'd have willingly given up a DK character in Sluggers in order to get Rosalina, but that's just me. And I'm actually glad they made Kludge instead of reusing a name, since it drives home that these guys aren't drones. They're actual Kremling characters, something that has been in very short...

Of course, do you want the perfect game above all others, or are you able to step back and look at a new game and say, "Hey, this isn't a carbon-copy of DKC, but then it shouldn't be, and what it does is pretty good." I don't know about you, but I don't think Paon's mangled a single charac...

The next DK character is either going to be K. Rool or Dixie. Undeniably. Which one I'd prefer first changes with every passing day, but eventually we're gonna get both anyway, assuming the series goes on long enough. You should all be very lucky K. Rool wasn't made a boss or an Assist Trophy, becau...
