Mario Chat / Re: How come Nintendo doesn't respect the DKC series?

Well at least, Rare improved the formula from the Arcade series. DKC DK stills used barrels from DK1 and he was still able to climb up vines like in DK Jr. So even though Rare made first made DK fresh, they still build up from the old formula.

And besides, Rare DK > Nintendo DK. Nintendo pretty much made DK a jackal in every game. Rare at least made him a lovable hero.

I'm pretty sure the idea of Jungle Beat was to give DK a fresh start and try new ideas. You can't really do that with the old settings.

Actually you can refresh a series but still keep old characters. Sonic the Hedgehog '06 will prove that.

And if Miyamoto didn't like what Rare did to DK, he shouldn't have never allowed Rare to continue after the first game.

Jungle Beat takes place on many different island kingdoms. But that doesn't mean that DK's friends can't assist him. And sure, the Kongs were in those games Robert mention, but most of them are third party games.

And this is proof that Nintendo doesn't respect DK: http://www.n-sider.com/articleview.php?articleid=420

This is an interview with the Jungle Beat creators

Q: Tell us about the characters.

Koizumi: All the characters outside of Donkey Kong and the banana are completely original. We don't really feel the past look of Donkey Kong was fresh enough for today. We really gave our new development team the chance to really create something unique and stylish.


Do you know how hypocritical that makes Nintendo? The DKC characters has been around for barely 10 years. Most of the main Mario cast has been around for over 20 years. If the Kongs aren't fresh enough, then Mario ,and forgive me for what I say, is staler than a dead man in the summertime. Also, Peach, Luigi, and Bowser are stale too.

Also, Nintendo ruined DK's character. They tried to make him more like a gorilla. The ironic thing was he was more of the gorilla in Rare's hands.

When Rare handled DK: DK was a fun loving guy who never hurt anybody unless they done harm to him or his family. Also, DK and Mario were now pretty good friends. DK also had his own friends and family.

When Nintendo took him back: DK was fighting idiot. He beats up on guys for no appearant reason. If Nintendo said the kings were evil and he went to stop them, that would have been passable. Also, for some strange reason, Nintendo is trying to revive the fued between Mario and DK after many years (Mario Vs DK games) Also, why does DK fall in love with Pauline when he has Candy?

Now, I like Nintendo. But if they treat what Rareware did for them like crud, what would happen if other second party companies leave but their characters have to stay?

The reason I say Nintendo looks down on DKC was because there were no DKC characters or anything else DK related in Jungle Beat. Nintendo replaced everything.

Hoofer = Rambi
Orca = Enguard
The monkeys that catapault you = Blast Barrels
The tiny black and white pigs = Gnawty Beavers
And they're not the only ones.

Nintendo seemed to replace everything that made DK, DK.

It doesn't make sense. The DKC series (DK 64) included has rake in millions for Nintendo and saved them from the clutches of Sega. But how come Nintendo looks down on DKC the most? Jungle Beat pretty much proves the point. :(

Hey. I saw this on DKU Forums. It is said that this was from a Japanese Nintendo magazine for something about the Wii.

It seems to be the offical size comparison of the characters.

According to the Japanese SSBM trophy, Yoshis are neither male nor female, regardless what someone in the Mariology thread thinks.

This is from the same game that got Meta Knight's first appearance wrong and don't know the relationship between Wario and Waluigi

As Sonic or Tails: It's in a dark alley that's near the Casino

Hint: If you see Cream as either of those three characters, the Ice Stone is where she came out of.

The gang landed at the South Pole. Everyone got on their parkas. The parkas match each person’s symbol color. The gang exited the ship and faced the coldness. Wario was having the least trouble dealing with this.

Wario: It feels great.

Yoshi: Because you’re nothing but blubber like a whale anyway.

Wario: (censored)

The gang walked through the snow. They were greeted by a couple of penguins.

Mario: Do any of you know any weird building of some sorts.

Penguin: I saw this weird building right over there.

The Penguin pointed east.

Penguin: It looked like it wasn’t built by anyone from here.

Mario: Okay everybody.

The heroes marched on. At the X-Nauts base, Shady was watching Grodus’ death threat again.

Shady: It’$ B3tt4r t#@n c@Bl3.

Sir Grodus came. Shady couldn’t tell by facial expressions, but he thought Grodus was pleased.

Shady: R U |-|@ppy $ir?

Grodus: Why yes. In little over an hour, this world could be mine. Nothing can go wrong…

Soon after, the alarm sounded and sirens flashed red.

Grodus: What’s going on?

An X-Naut came in.

X-Naut: DUDE. I MEAN GRODUS DUDE. I MEAN SIR DUDE GRODUS SIR…

Grodus: Tell me what is happening.

X-Naut: That Mario guy is back. And he brought reinforcements.

Grodus: Blast! And the cannon is only an hour away from firing! Get Lord Crump. Tell him to get the Robotail back at fighting. Shady, in case Mario gets to the control room, help me stop him.

Shady: Eye wil D3$tr0y dat /\/\@ri0 guy N al$0 hiz fri3/\/d$

Play Music: DK64 Hideout Helm during countdown
Countdown Time 1 hour

The heroes entered the X-Naut base. It looked pretty similar to the previous one.

Banjo: What now?

DK: We use our abilities to our advantage.

Yoshi: We all have some kind of special skill we can use. This shouldn’t be much of a problem.

Mario: Let’s rescue the others and put an end to Sir Grodus’ regime.

Countdown Time 59 minutes

The heroes ran through the halls knocking every X-Naut they see. They soon ran into a dead end. The dead end continued on top that looked like a second floor. Two pillars were at the end of each side.

Mario: Leave this to me.

Mario used wall jump to jump off each pillar and climb himself to the top. At the top the hallway continued but Mario first saw a switch. He pressed the switch and stairs formed on the wall so the others can come up.

The heroes continued on their quest.  Until they reached a big metal block in their path.

Wario: I got it!

DK: So do I.

The strong guys used their muscle to smash the block into pieces. Our heroes ran into another hallway. This time, there was a large gap and it was filled with lava. However, there were stationary ropes hovering above.

Diddy: Wish me luck

Diddy swung on each rope to make it on the other side. He saw a switch and he pressed it. A bridge appeared over the gap. The remaining heroes ran across it.

Countdown Time 50 minutes

Meanwhile, Crump was preparing his Robotail dragon.

Crump: Ah yes. Now let’s see those fools stop us now. This world is ours!

Our heroes ran toward a lake. This lake however, was filled with a poisonous liquid. A switch was sitting at the bottom.

Wario: I wished Waluigi was here. I would have him the sacrifice.

Banjo: No need to. I’ll handle this.

Banjo covered himself up with his backpack and entered the poison unharmed. He pressed the switch and the poison was drained out. The switch also opened a door.

Wario: Yes! Nothing can beat us with the real superpower of TEAMWORK!

Everybody looked at Wario.

Wario: What?

The heroes reached a fork in the road. Yoshi decided to smell which path to take.

Yoshi: I smell, bird feathers and bad cologne to the left. And oil and a scent I’m not familiar with to the right.

Wario: The bad cologne must means Waluigi is near by and also that chicken.

Mario: Shady can use oil for attacks.

Luigi: We’re close.

Mario: Luigi, Yoshi, Wario and I will head to the right. Everyone else head to the left and find the others.

The split up and time was running out.

Countdown Time 30 minutes

Geno, DK, Diddy, and Banjo were near an armory. They were fascinated by the strange weapons.

DK: Wow.

Diddy: Cool!

Geno: These weapons might be good, but they’re distracting us let’s go.

They head into another room. This room was a prison. Mallow, Waluigi, and Kazooie were in the cell.

Waluigi: GET US OUT YOU FREAKS!

Banjo: ……

Geno used Geno Beam and broke the cage. The three prisoners got out.

Waluigi: Nobody kidnaps me and live. When I find that Lord Crump guy, I’m gonna….

Soon, Lord Crump, in his Robotail, busted through the room.

Crump: You’re gonna what?

Waluigi: eep.

Crump: Now this is a surprise. It’s the exact same people who lost to Robotail the first time. Beating you again will not help me get experience.

Countdown Time 20 minutes

Mario, Luigi, Wario, and Yoshi were catching their breath.

Yoshi: Way to go Wario.

Wario: It’s not my fault.

Luigi: Yes it is.

Wario: How was I supposed to know that door I opened revealed a laser that can disintegrate us?

Mario: It said on the door, “Laser inside. Do not enter!”

Luigi: Where are we anyway?

Mario: We must be getting towards the center of the base.

Yoshi: How are we going to shut down the entire system though?

Mario: Luigi can use Thunderhand to overload the system.

They ran through more rooms. Since more enemies were around, they were really close to the center.

A few minutes later, they were at the center. It was the control room for the death laser. The Crystal Star was in one of the machines.

Luigi: This is too easy.

Luigi headed for control panel only to run into an invisible wall protecting it.

Luigi: Ow. But how?

Grodus: Because of me.

Grodus and Shady entered.

Grodus: I’m surprised you’ve made it this far Mario. But now it’s over for you, your friends, and your planet.

Shady: Y3$. S@y BY3-By3 2 yur P1@/\/3t.

Play Music: Grodus’ Battle Theme from Paper Mario 2
Countdown Time 10 minutes

The battle started. Grodus put up the green shield around himself to make himself invincible. Shady fired oil out of his hand.

Shady: N00b$ /\/\u$t P3r1$H.

Our heroes dodged the attack and headed straight for Grodus.

Grodus: Take this!

Grodus used his time stopping spell. It froze Luigi in place.

Luigi:…..

Wario used his strength to bust through the green shield, breaking it. Mario, Yoshi, and Wario began to attack with all their might.

Meanwhile, the others were fighting Lord Crump in his Robotail. Robotail blew ice breath. But everybody was able to dodge it. Crump looked at Waluigi.

Crump: You were a great Macarena dancer.

Kazooie held in a laugh. Geno fired bullets from his elbow, but they did little to Robotail. Robotail flew up in the air and came slamming down to cause an earthquake.

Waluigi: Man. If this keeps up we’re screwed. Again.

Waluigi threw a bomb and it went inside Robotail’s mouth. The bomb blew up and part of the mouth was destroyed.

DK tried to pick up the robot with no luck.

Geno: I will assist you.

Geno used Geno Boost and DK was suddenly stronger. DK lift the robot and threw him hard on the ground.

Crump: I may be down but I’m not out!

Countdown Time 7 minutes

Luigi was free from the Time Stop spell but now Mario and his group were now facing three Groduses.

Mario: Only one of them is real.

Yoshi was squaring against Shady.

Shady: U m@y B b3tt3r runn3r butt Im @ b3tt3r Fight3r

Yoshi: Oh yeah….

Yoshi threw three eggs but Shady smacked them away with his hands. Shady fired more oil but Yoshi jumped out of the way.

Yoshi: There must be something I can use. Wait a minute.

Yoshi pulled out a Fire Flower and absorbed it. Shady fired some more oil but Yoshi blew fire. The oil caught on fire and then Shady was on fire!

Shady: 00000WWWWW\/\/\/\/!!!!11111!!!one!!!! T|-|@t”$ it Im L3@\/i/\/g.

Shady disappeared beneath the floor. There were still three Groduses moving around until Wario came up with an idea.

Wario: I got it!

Wario pulled out some garlic and ate. The he blew rancid breath at the Groduses. All three of them began to cough but two fizzled away.

Grodus: Blast! I wasn’t able to concentrate with that fat slob and his rancid breath.

The other heroes were still duking it out with Robotail. Its bottom jaw fell off and the tail was torn off. Crump was becoming desperate.

Crump: No. Robotail, my love. Don’t die on me just now.

Mallow: Give it up! You’re falling apart.

Crump: Oh yeah. I still have one trick up my sleeve.

Crump pressed a button and a large vacuum came out of where Robotail’s mouth was suppose to be.

Crump: I’ll suck you all up and take you Grodus!

The vacuum activated and everybody was beginning to be sucked in. They tried to resist but they were being pulled towards.

Mallow: We’re doomed!

Waluigi: What are we going to do?

Banjo: Wait. I have an idea. Throw explosives into the vacuum.

Geno: That’s a great idea. We’ve no choice.

DK and Diddy threw orange grenades, Waluigi threw bombs, Geno used Geno Beam, and Kazooie fired grenade eggs. They all landed in the vacuum. Seconds later a rumbling began.

Crump: What’s that! The robot is reaching critical overload. My dear Robotail, I guess it just wasn’t meant to be. Good-bye my love. GOOD BYE!

Robotail exploded and Crump was sent flying off through the artic horizon.

Geno: Now let’s get back to the others.

Waluigi (calm): Yeah, we only got less than one minute before the laser destroys the Mushroom Kingdom

Everyone else: WHAT???!!!

Countdown Time 30 seconds

Grodus was on his last knees but he knew he couldn’t give up.

Grodus: This world shall be mine. I will make sure of this.

Mario smacked Grodus with his hammer and Grodus fainted. This cause the invisible wall to disappear.

Computer: Countdown to laser blast. 10, 9, 8, 7

Mario: LUIGI!

Luigi: I got it!

Luigi perform Thunder hand on the system.

Computer: 3, 2 …1……system terminated.

Everybody collapsed from the relief.

Yoshi: That was too close.

Mario: You can say that again.

Yoshi: That was too close.

Mario:…..

Computer: Self destruct sequence initiated. 60 seconds.

Mario:What!

Grodus: Fools! Don’t you think that I would have a backup plan? Now your lives will end along with mine.

The other heroes entered.

Mallow: What’s happening?

Luigi: This base is about to blow up!

Kazooie: AAHH!!!! And we can’t escape here fast enough!

Diddy: I guess this is the end.

Suddenly, as a miracle, a ball of white light appeared in front of everyone. The light began to shine brightly.

Mario: Wha…..

In a bright flash, everybody was gone except for Grodus.

Grodus: No. It can’t be!

Computer: 5

2




One!

Grodus: NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

In an instant, the X-Nauts base blew up to smithereens. Mario and his friends were back safely inside the U.F.O. But they were confused about the ordeal.

Geno: That white light.

Mario: Saved us all.

Mallow: Kinda hard to believe to be honest.

Wario: Who cares? Our butts are saved. Take that Grodus! HA! By the way. Ta-da!

Wario showed everybody the Crystal Star.

Wario: I managed to get it before everything blew up. You can all worship me later. Here Mario, take it. And remember our little adventure together too. ‘Cause I’m not gonna be helpful after all of this over.

Wario tossed the Crystal Star at Mario.

Yoshi: That’s six! One more to go. Yippee!

Mario and friends found the sixth Crystal Star. Celebration is spread throughout the world as their planet wasn’t destroyed. There’s only one more Crystal Star left. Where could it be?

Honestly do we know that? Apes are very human like in the first place (though not to the extent of the kongs), besides Mario was also supposed to be pretty young when Donkey Kong took place (atleast from what I hear).

That's what I heard also. Mario was suppose to be 18 in DK Arcade. (Don't ask about that stache way back then though) This would make Cranky be in the late 40s/early 50s it's just that his bone density didn't grow stale yet (or at least it was beginning to). DK Jr. could have been somewhere along the line of 8 to 13 or something.
