Yeah but tbf mario was still the protagonist in the first game. If you think about it, it's weird, even to this day there are very few games that have the name of the antagonist. The diablo series is an example.
At least they made up for Donkey Kong Barrel Blast by giving us gems like DKC Returns and Tropical Freeze. Two games I won't forget for as long as I breathe.
Fun fact- for just about every one of Nintendo's super early franchises you didn't actually play as the title character. You've got Donkey Kong, then you've got Kid Icarus, which actually starred a guy named Pit, then you've got Metroid, which of course had you controlling Samus, and Legend of Zelda, where Zelda was the princess, not the main character. So it was kind of a thing for Nintendo!
Nintendo really spent almost 10 years having no idea what to do with DK before thinking "Hey, maybe we should try to do something similar to what Rare was doing? Y'know, what was making it a successful franchise?" And now we're at another dry spell with the series, Tropical Freeze is gonna be 10 years old next year. No shade meant for Xenoblade, I know those are really good games, but I think it's bizarre that we got three Xenoblade games after Tropical Freeze's release, when those sell less than DK and are surely more expensive. Nintendo is so weird, man. What's the holdup?
I like how this is just Scott the woz video without the hey all Scott here and outro and some missing context Edit: so it’s like scott the woz video in beta form
I feel like the Rare acquisition was full of companies being idiots. No defending Nintendo, then losing Rare was a total fumble, but also apparently Microsoft execs genuinely believed buying Rare meant they owned Donkey Kong and got disappointed when Rare told them it wasn't the case. It's just embarrassing all around!

He mentions it in his Game Boy video. In all honesty, though, even though I respect what that game did, it just felt way too tedious. Captain Toad was a better puzzle platformer.
Diddy kong racing was tons better than mario kart 64, mk64 was great no doubt, but diddy kong had so much more content and it was just more fun and challenging
DK Jungle Climber is unironically my favorite DK game of all time. It hooked me, played both that one and the GB advance one all the way through. Love em.
The Giant Bitch Ape will always be one of my favorite video game characters of all time. Especially because he was the precursor to basically create my entire childhood. I will always have respect for him for making me into the proud virgin I am! (I have not played barrel blast. The curse hasn't effected me.)
But scott you are really telling the history of Donkey kong Jr, in DKC and DKL you're STILL just Donkey Kong Jr, merely a grown up version of him that takes the title of Donkey Kong. Hence why the JR is not on the tie. DK (Cranky Kong) will tell you this himself if you listen to him long enough. Truth is aside from character cameos and appearances Donkey Kong himself isn't in games once a grown up Jr takes the spotlight. And the JR is dropped right after Super Mario Kart. He doesn't really come back into action until DKC Tropical Freeze as a character
@@ryko1478 nope, modern DK is DK jr just with the DK title since Cranky Kong has been retired from it since the OG DKC. Hence why he's considered a grown version of DK Jr, jr never appears along side him. Plus it simplifies things while still having a bit of depth to the lineage

definitely one of scott's snippets
I really wish Earl Racing came out
"Diddy Kong is an excellent kart racer...that, to some, surpassed Mario Kart 64! You can tell it did by all the sequels it got!"
Wow, Scott _is_ a real Mac user!
This actually kind of works as a standalone video; makes me realize you're basically getting a 2-for-1 deal with the original video.
If you haven’t played Donkey Kong ‘94, you’ve done yourself a disservice.
To think that Mario started out as a Donkey Kong spinoff was insane to me.
Never seen an Ape get Gamecucked by his rival?
Yeah but tbf mario was still the protagonist in the first game. If you think about it, it's weird, even to this day there are very few games that have the name of the antagonist. The diablo series is an example.
technically still is
And Wario, who was a Mario spinoff, would get his own library of games too. 😄

3:10 One of my favorite bits he's ever done
I retaliate with 2:24
“DONKEY KONG “!!!!

He fucked…
10:43 NO SCOTT
can't wait for Scott to have THREE channels with 100K+ subs
The Donkey Kong franchise and its spinoffs are what started everything Nintendo is right now.
That’s right!
At least they made up for Donkey Kong Barrel Blast by giving us gems like DKC Returns and Tropical Freeze. Two games I won't forget for as long as I breathe.
SCOTT HAS ESCAPED THE CONFINES OF THE THUMBNAIL'S BLUE BORDER
Without this game we would not have Super Mario Bros. Franchise period.
Awesome video, but you didn't mention Donkey Kong '94 (Gameboy) 😭
I loved jungle beat. Made by the mario galaxy team…. Maybe go back and play it?😊
Damn, I just realized that it’s been a few years since donkey Kong was in the spotlight, with tropical freeze. Where is he?
The cut to Chibi Robo Zip Lash and “F^%# Donkey Kong!” made me cackle
How did he do the history of Donkey Kong and not mention Donkey Kong for the Game Boy (you know, where DK got his tie) and the series it spawned?
“The beginning of the end..”
6:50 is still one of the most funniest things in a scott the woz video
Not a single mention to Donkey Kong (1994) for the Game Boy??
"You could also brush your teeth with mice!" That line got me to actually LOL.
I loved that segment in the original video. It was a perfectly informative and also humorous history of the Donkey Kong games.
I wish the education system was just Scott the Woz but about different subjects 😭
Fun fact- for just about every one of Nintendo's super early franchises you didn't actually play as the title character.
You've got Donkey Kong, then you've got Kid Icarus, which actually starred a guy named Pit, then you've got Metroid, which of course had you controlling Samus, and Legend of Zelda, where Zelda was the princess, not the main character.
So it was kind of a thing for Nintendo!
Donkey Kong seriously needs a comeback.
Hopefully one has already started in the Mario Movie and now he'll get a new game
He has a port of a Wii U game on Switch... idk if that qualifys for you but I have heard it's a great game.
@@adeeta5701
It is, one of the best 2D platformers ever. I wish Retro completed the trilogy though.
@@adeeta5701While it’s one of the greatest 2D platformers ever made, it originally released more than 9 years ago he really needs a new game 😭
Honestly, I think Dunkey did it better

oh wow, we have actual art depicting how the entire dk series felt during the gamecube
Nintendo really spent almost 10 years having no idea what to do with DK before thinking "Hey, maybe we should try to do something similar to what Rare was doing?

One of the best things Nintendo's done on switch was releasing the arcade version of donkey kong
I'm still mad Donkey wasn't playable in country 3 and instead we had to play as that baby clone abomination
Gormless Kong?
"The beginning of the end".

Holy sh*t, they got Konkey Dong in this sh*t? Hell yeah!
What a great history of Donkey Kong explained by Scott!
In reference to the Rare acquisition blunder, it's astonishing to me how Nintendo can be so genius at times and just as stupid all at once.

You lost me at skipping the best of the series: Donkey Kong ‘94 for Game Boy.
He mentions it in his Game Boy video.
In all honesty, though, even though I respect what that game did, it just felt way too tedious. Captain Toad was a better puzzle platformer.
Diddy kong racing was tons better than mario kart 64, mk64 was great no doubt, but diddy kong had so much more content and it was just more fun and challenging
I like how the thumbnail is screwed up like the glass is in the background while Scott is in the foreground
Gex video ?
The Super Mario bros series is just a spin-off of the Mario vs donkey kong series
Well done. A lot of effort in this vid. Trying to hard it seems. Hard to digest as a result. Probably good for the kids out there
This is just a segment of a bigger video wich was an special
"All acording to the plan..."
This makes me want a remake of Chibi-Robo: Plug into Adventure, made by Velan Studio's and publised by
Bandai Namco!
I want a new donkey Kong game so bad
DK Jungle Climber is unironically my favorite DK game of all time. It hooked me, played both that one and the GB advance one all the way through. Love em.
No mention of the weird, DKC TV show made by the same folks who made Reboot?
...I'll take strawberry
I was just watching the Barrel Blast video yesterday. 😂
Nah Diddy Kong racing is leagues above Mario kart 64
I like how this is on the spin-off channel 😂
Scott is do entertaining and informational
Donkey Kong Barrel Blast: the cure for virginity.
6:07 So close, 8 months. Or if he said Banjo-Pilot.
For those who don't know, DK, Kirby, Yoshi and Star Fox are mostly used for Nintendo weird experiments in new areas of Gameplay 🤷🏻♂️
“Donkey Kong ass Donkey Kong’s Donkey Kong ass Donkey Kong ass”
brief is right. donkey kong for GB best game ever
Dude has seriously great comedic timing, very funny.
I love Donkey Kong 🍌🍌🍌🦍
i dont like how close scott got to my conception
1:50 Peter parker discovering that galactus has a kid.
Love that ending Image
0:08 Scott really said that Kirby Star Allies is a example of Nintendo flandering
KSA is better than every other game in that pile COMBINED.

The DKC Box art hit's me in the nostalgia gut
the beginning of the end
"these are just a bunch of dang build a bears"
This is the best part of scott the woz history
“You can also brush your teeth with mice” broke me 😂 I swear Scott always with these random bits
After re-watching this episode, I haven't been able to stop quoting "Donkey-Kong-Ass-Donkey Kong's Donkey-Kong-Ass-Donkey Kong-ass"
I forgot what video this was from and the end hit me like a fucking truck
Fact: Jungle Beat was the only Nintendo 2D platformer on Gamecube.
