The baby looks a lot more like Super DK. We may only be able to tell if the baby is wearing a tie. Cranky never wore a tie.

If Cranky never wore a tie, then who is the DK in MvDK (the first one)? If he's Super DK, then why isn't Mario a lot older in MvDK than he was in the original arcade Donkey Kong?

I doubt this mystery can be solved, frankly.

Donkey Kong wore a tie in Game Boy Donkey Kong and the Game & Watch Gallery series, which featured Donkey Kong Jr.

But I thought that the DK in DK '94 was Cranky's son and the DK Jr. was Cranky's grandson who grew up to become Super DK.

If this game is nearly as good as the original, I'll be happy. Yoshi's Story was probably one of the biggest let-downs of all time.

As for the babies... I'm okay with them, surprisingly. Usually the babyfied characters [anger me], but I figure Yoshi's Island 2 will probably either take place in the past, or most likely the mysterious floating island is the cause of Yoshi's baby problems.

Artoon, don't screw this up!

No, it was just Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Jr.

Screenshots are always a good indication.

Looking at the videos here at TMK, I'm a bit sad that the boss didn't have that special kind of morphing like in the first Yoshi's Island (thanks to Super FX2). I am intrigued by baby DK. I would be perfectly happy if Nintendo forgot about the Rare continuity and treats current DK like original DK.

Rare split. Nintendo can do whatever they want with DK. Cranky isn't in that canon. Sorry to burst bubbles like that. Besides, Crankey's not even in the game! Why worry about it before it is even released? Crankey might be explained in the manual for all you know!

*Stumbles upon amazing news*

...?!

A sequel to one of the greatest games ever made...? Awesome. I think it's safe to call these games the "Super Mario World Trilogy" then. Assuming that Yoshi's Island 2 will have the alternate title of "Super Mario World 3." But yeah, the game looks amazing...I was thinking previously how wonderful it would be to play a sequel to Yoshi's Island, because I felt that Yoshi's Island was a bit too short. This sequel will be the perfect climax.

I'm just hoping Nintendo's new policy isn't "The more playable characters with unique moves, the better the game." In SSB maybe that's true...
You know, whenever I say "I'm not getting this game" about any game, I usually end up getting it anyway. So I won't say whether I'll get YI2 or not.

The Chef · « **Reply #43 on:** June 10, 2006, 01:33:14 PM »

I guess they had to do something to differentiate it from it's predecessor. Besides, the SMB with multiple playable characters was SMB2.

Yoshi's Island only had the "Super Mario World 2" title in America. It isn't.
