Donkey Kong Takes Place in New Donk City?!

- I've never seen the Donkey Kong stages stacked up so figured I'd whip up something right quick when it dawned on me. These buildings they're building... it has to be the birth of New Donk City.

Forget the New Donk City schematic; the hair Riggs is rockin' makes me want to see HIM play as Eggman in the more than likely Sonic the Hedgehog 2 movie
Elton Thomas lol the curly hair too
I am not the only one.
Haha, who knew Eggman was a former Nintendo Ambassador.
I actually kind of assumed that myself. Odyssey hints at a lot of lore. The people of the city are constantly revering Mario for what he did in the past. I also always thought the sewer part of the city has a lot of pipes; maybe that's where the original Mario Bros. takes place (saved Pauline and got a job as a plumber). I love speculation like this!:3
I'm with Lilly on this one (sorry) 😅 I do see where you're coming from, though 🏢
There's a building in the background that fits better.
There's also original Donkey Kong arcade cabinet artwork within New Donk City!
I don't know about the Donkey Kong thing, but Lilly laughing made my night.
The hair isn't helping your argument.
If you go by 80's cannon it's actually New York City, because in the Super Mario Bros. Super Show(same for the live action Mario bros. movie), Mario & Luigi have their plumbing business in Brooklyn NYC, and Donkey Kong was set before the OG Mario Bros. Arcade, and Super Mario Bros. game where they got sucked down the pipes, and into the Mushroom Kingdom.
Lilly, don't pay any attention to your dad. He's as crazy as his hair.:D
New Donk City under construction!!!
Also when you beat new donk city, original donkey kong cabinet art appears grafiti'd around new donk!
I just sorta assumed that New Donk City was where Donkey Kong took piace, but I'm with Lilly the City Hall building doesn't quite match up. It does make a whole lot of sense that that it is the building from Donkey Kong.
John you may got something there but Lily is right.
Its is implied that Donkey Kong setting was New Donk City, but only by retcon, because the game manual of Donkey Kong Land for GB also implies that Big Ape City, a world in the game, also is.
Then Nintendo UK Twitter also said that the graffiti of the streets has "some kind of link to the city history"
So yeah, is implied but not confirmed.
"New Donk City" just makes me think of the film "New Jack City" recast with the Donkey Kong crew.
I think I remember you saying something about growing out your hair for a costume or something but I think you should just roll with it John. It's so crazy and fun that it just works! I hope you consider going with it full time! It represents your laid back and fun attitude and fits you well. Is that why the hat's off because that's what you decided?
If you squint your eyes, and tilt your head a little, it looks exactly like that building! ;)
In my head canon, Mario got hired for being deceptively limber for an Italian immigrant, but wasn't respected enough to be called by his real name so folks on the construction site called him Jump Man until he became famous for saving Pauline and the building he was working on from a runaway gorilla.
Afterwards, he continued doing odd jobs in plumbing and construction with wrecking crew, until stumbling into the Mushroom Kingdom. This leads to him studying mycology and which is how he gets involved with big pharma as a Doctor without a valid diploma. The substances he brought back with him are directly related to the opioid crisis. He's been relying on word of mouth reputation after he sold the Videogame rights to Nintendo, but the REAL story is not so pretty...
I can see it John. Also the gb game had the city level in it so that could be parts from the rest of the city.
Lilly is correct. You just want this to be true soooo much that you've convinced yourself!
Those Ancient Aliens...!
Hey John, videos with you and your girls always put a smile on my face. Thank you guys for the awesome and sometimes silly things you do. Keep up the great work brother! Much love from Texas.
Personally, I think at the time, the construction sites put together may have been a nod to the Empire State Building. Which would have a nod to King Kong.
Maybe more like the building in Beauty and the Beast on the Intellivision... an awesome Donkey Kong clone ;)
I love this channel, this one is my favorite game channel by far. Open cart surgery is just amusing too me. Having Random retro games, John reminds me of a character off a Turbo Graphics 16.
Well doc you know because you time travelled
OH DAMN!!!!!!!!
And I am not talking about the tower in New Donk City!!!!!! Whoah!!!!
🙄🙄🙄
I'm with your daughter's opinion.
John, you are nuts...and this is why we love you.
That's unvelievable weird how this is the building. 😲
I think donkey kong might very well take place in new donk city but I dont think your comparison to the building "stacks up" for me either so I will say you both get a point
Loving your channel so happy I found it!
I'm with Riggs. Riggs for New Donk City mayor.
Og Dk could of been old Donk City. And the city was rebuilt and the building refinished for modern times.
Welcome to the family
I wouldn't put it past Nintendo to do that. It's a neat little Easter egg.
Hate to embarrass Lily but I can see where John's coming from. Nintendo likes putting easter eggs in their biggest games, the devs would likely sneak something like that in.
I think you're on to something! Can't debunk that for now...
Hey John. Since your a fan of Donkey Kong. I'd thought I'd share this video with you. Apparently this guy built his own Donkey Kong Quarter Scale Arcade 1/4 - Jamie Mcshan is the youtuber. He placed it next to his Num Skull Quarter Arcade Collection. It was really cool! Check out the video if you get a chance! Still waiting on my pre-order Dragon's Lair Replicade from New Wave Toys. That should be fun to play when I get it! Thanx for the video!
I mean... New DONK City. DONKey Kong! Pauline is in both. I think Mr. Riggs is right.
Rigs, quarantine is turning your hair cut into doc from Back to the Future.
100% agree
I would like to see Shigeru Miyamoto comment on this.
"Hmmm... No!" xD
a tall building looks like another tall building?
That's a long reach!
First time seeing you without a hat
The real debate is about Mr. Riggs’ hair:
Business in front?
Party in back?
Or is it party all around..?
But , but , but Captain Lou was Mario in New YORK City !!!!
Now this needs some investigation!! 🤔 .... 🤘
Actually it's shaped like the Washington monument !
Nice
👍👍
I’m with your son Riggs, I just don’t see it...
I thought your daughter wanted you to believe that it was true so much that you were both having a what I call a "reverse Santa Claus experience"....
And then she said, .....No.
John, I think you need a hair cut because your really bringing out the mad crazed scientist look. I side with the one who looks less crazy which is Lily.
Did Mario do the plumbing as well?
I'm with Lily, mostly because the shade she threw!
Epic!!
Mmmmmm, no. (I want it to be though.)
🤯
Do you think when Mario and Donkey Kong get together, this topic is never brought up because it would be awkward?
Hiny : King Kong?
Sure. Why not?
I'm w/Lilly on this one, John.
You seem to be stretching it. I do agree w/you that Donkey Kong takes place in New Donk City. But the buildings are NOT the same.
Also, how big is the largest building in Donkey Kong before the death screen?
Don't you fight DK in Odyssey?
Lol I love your videos John, but I don’t see it. Still love you though!! Lol enjoy the rest of your day.
no
Dr robotnic cosplay?
hmmmm No..
No
Lol. Kids... ;)
They look nothing alike.
doesn't look anything like it.
