#Donkey Kong 5

A Mario vs Donkey Kong remake is all well and good.

But when are we gonna get a remake of this masterpiece?

The existence of the WarioWare games within the greater Mario universe is so fascinating to me because it means Wario is constantly going back and forth between two different friend groups, one of which seemingly doesn’t know the other exists at all.

I guess I have to admire his dedication to keeping his work and downtime activities completely separate from each other.

DK Rap from Donkey Kong 64

vs.

"Don't speak her name!" from Fire Emblem Awakening

DK Rap:

He has no style, he has no grace, this-this kong has a funny face!

"Don't speak her name!":

This song plays after an important character’s death. The main character is in shambles and is very on edge to the point he is unwilling to compromise with an enemy who is being sympathetic with him.

A tragic song underlying the lowest point for our heroes. There is no battle theme. There is no grand victory on this map. Every win is just another life taken. Every loss is just further salt on the wound. Yet we must march on. To stand still is to waste her sacrifice. At the least, the rain helps hide the tears.

How to create pixel art the easy way 😎

Take an existing drawing.

Open it in PaintNET.

If viable, set "Canvas Size…" so that the height and width are both divisible by 4.

Go to "Resize…" → "Resampling: Nearest Neighbor" → "By percentage: 25%" → apply

Go to "Resize…" again → "By percentage: 400%" → apply

You now have pixel art in less than 2 minutes. 😎

This also makes supposed pixel art projects far less often needed.

(Based on https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/121537412 by するが かなで)

In the cases of many other art pieces, it still looks far too detailed to simply go 25%→400%, and may instead need for example "divisible by 5"→20%→500%, etc.

And as a direct comparison with the original for people who are not keen on going to Pixiv's websites outright:

About that new Mario movie trailer

[raindingrandom]

Five Years Ago: King K. Rool Comes Aboard!

Five years ago, King K. Rool was announced as a playable fighter for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. As Donkey Kong Country fanatic, I was absolutely over the moon when I saw this glorious moment live.

For reference, King K. Rool hadn't made a non-kameo appearance in ANY game since 2008's Mario Super Sluggers. And his last appearance in a Donkey Kong game was in 2007's DK: Jungle Climber.

So it was a huge moment for the Donkey Kong fandom that King K. Rool not only returned, but for the trailer to specifically emphasize that he was THE big bad of the Donkey Kong series.

And his moveset? An absolute love letter to the kharacter and his appearances. The original moves they gave him kompliment him perfectly too! (gotta love the back air!) Needless to say, K. Rool became my main in Ultimate.

I also liked how he was a heavyweight fighter who did things that other heavyweight characters didn't do, the great recovery, multiple projectiles and the kounter being good examples.

The reveal trailer WAS PERFECT. The lead-up with the different Smash kharacters with their arch enemies/rivals, the fakeout with King Dedede, ACE's glorious remix of Gangplank Galleon, and the awesome animated end scene that kulminates in a beautiful shot of DK, Diddy and K. Rool doing a punch parry in front of the sun.

Seriously, I need that above screenshot framed.

According to Sakurai, King K. Rool's inclusion in Ultimate was thanks to all the votes for him in the Smash Ballot. Here's hoping that demand also paves the way for he and the Kremlings to return in the next Donkey Kong game.

To end this post, here's what I wrote in my Smash Ballot vote in 2015:
