Name: Peg
Debut: DK: King of Swing
This post is not about Donkey Kong himself. Sorry! It is about the peg he is currently swinging from. But Peg on its own is not very eye-catching, is it? We need a guy like DK here, for the brand recognition. With his help, Peg is gonna be a star admired like James Dean or Mr. Bean! Hopefully after this post, you'll all want to Get Pegged!
So, here's Peg. Sorry for the blurriness, this was cropped from the Japanese cover of the game. Believe it or not, no press kits seem to have included crisp, HD promo art of Peg! Imagine the world if they did that. They could have made sticker sheets, and you could have put them on your wall, and pretended Donkey Kong was awkwardly clambering on it. Now imagine doing that while a silverfish happened to be climbing on the same wall! It would be so exciting...
Peg is a very funny thing to me. Donkey Kong is a gorilla. He climbs. It's in his nature. So it makes sense to give him his own game focused on climbing rather than platforming. But the thing is, he climbs trees and grabs onto branches and vines. And this game is about Pegs! Like rock climbing hand/footholds! I like this game a lot, don't get me wrong. But I get such a kick out of it being about Pegs.
And there are so many Pegs. So many that they come in different colors, to make them more fun to look at! Which of these would you most want to Grasp? I like the blue one. You may note that none of these are red, like the artwork is, but maybe that's because of the GBA's initial lack of a backlight.
It does not stop at different colors of pegs, however! There are peg boards! Pegs with levers, at the ends of which are other pegs! Cracked pegs that crumble away into nothingness... and that brings us to my personal favorite peg!
GHOST pegs! These pegs have perished! They are only found in a haunted shipwreck stage, so that narrows down how they could have died. I'm sure a lot of them drowned, while others were cannibalized by other, desperate pegs. Maybe some were pried open by sea stars who then digested the delectable Pegmeat from within. Many possibilities! Wait, I haven't said what these pegs do! If one is grabbed, it will manifest a hexagon of pegs around itself, while any other ghostly pegs disappear. It is a fun but honestly extremely easy gimmick with no real catch, unless you are just oh so scared by these ghost pegs. I'm not. Not that it's anything to be ashamed of! But I'm not.
I am not entirely sure how I feel about the overall art direction of DK: Jungle Climber, since I really like the more unique spritework of King of Swing. One thing's for sure, though! Pegs and Peg Boards have never looked more natural! Now THESE are pegs that someone made and put there. Don't worry about it!

Just for the sake of curiosity, what, if any, m/m ships do you like? Sorry 😅
Don't be sorry! I'm glad you're interested (:
I havent thought nearly as much about m/m ships as f/f, so this is a pretty bog standard list. I'm a sucker for a bromance, so Ishimondo and Saimota are top tier for me. I also love all the ships between Hajime, Kazuichi, and Fuyuhiko, though I go back and forth on whether I prefer any of the ships as boyfriends or as hilarious comedy duo-style friendships.
Probably the rarest one that I love is Byakuya/Hiro (later in life, as a heads up to people who may otherwise balk at the age difference; this is not one of those ships where the teenager-ness appeals to me). This may surprise people, because I hate Byakuya and make no secret of it. However, I DO like Hiro. And more than anything, what I like is zany shenanigans which eventually result in romance more or less accidentally. I think Hiro needing someone to repay his various gang debts and latching on to an attempt to grift Byakuya into becoming his sugar daddy is SO funny. I've said this on my main, but they're essentially the most stereotypical, serious-business-one + laid-back-one-who-teaches-business-how-to-love hallmark dynamic. But also assholes. UNBEARABLE assholes. And the humor of that just delights me.

([rowan, who heard the yelling, steps into the room with a sigh.])
(eagle, brian. what happened?)
Oh, uh... Sorry, Boss 2. I may have gotten a bit harsh with my words. Boss started threatening me again.
(we've talked about this, brian. be nicer. same goes for you, eagle.)
I was trying to teach him a lesson.
[RiddleGlider tries to move their arm but it’s still held on to.]
And you don’t call Rowan your second boss. You have one boss. Me. Get it right.

Haunted Bernkastel Fumo that idk probably does something scary
I think buying a scanner was possibly one of the best purchasing decisions I've ever made now I can do dumb shit like this
And I guess I can also do like actual scans of useful stuff like my Umineko Zepar doujin that I've wanted to scan for like an entire year because there's literally no Umineko Zepar content on the internet. But like the dumb shit is funnier and like it's April Fools Day so like I'm morally not allowed to do anything that isn't a really unfunny joke.
IT SCANS SO HIGH QUALITY TOO!!!! LIKE THIS IS MID QUALITY SETTINGS AND IT STILL LOOKS SO GOOD!!!
I CAN DO ANYTHING NOW!!! I'M SO POWERFUL!!!! this thing wasn't even that expensive like I had no reason to not buy one like a year ago like I'm a fucking idiot I've had like 50 things I've wanted to scan but thought a scanner would cost like $500 and for some reason never actually looked into the cost of one...
