Even though has given DK a divisive new design, has still managed to pay some respect to 's version of th𝓰e character.

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:When Nintendo first revealed Donkey Kong Ba♏nanza, it was very clear to us all that this version of DK was trying to move away from the days of Rare's to have a fresh start.

Earlier this week, media previews of Donkey Kong Bananza dropped (💫including one from 🦹TheGamer which you should totally check out), which gave us a ton of new gameplay footage to deep dive into. that has some interesting implications for Bananza's timeline.

As you can see from Robinson's tweet, a conv🧔ersation with Cranky Kong shows him calling DK the "so-called leader of the bunch", . This suggests that the DK Rap and its accompanying music video are a canon part of the Donkey Kong universe, which is a scenario I can't stop picturing.

The DK Rap is getting quite a lot of special treatment in Bananza, . If only Lanky and Candy were around to hear it𝔉...

Nintendo has already made it clear that canon isn't ♚the most important par⛦t of Donkey Kong Bananza so this is likely just an easter egg, but it does imply that Bananza takes place long after Donkey Kong 64.
