There's definitely power in long hair. I got hair extensions for the first time and have felt so confident and good. It reminded me of my girl Dixie and how she could fly across the stage with her beautiful, long banana-like hair in one of my childhood favorites. I thought it must have been a metaphor I didn't get as a little girl. So, I decided to make a piece dedicated to her and our long hair and the power it gives us.

I’m curious to see what people’s opinions on this guy are. He feels almost like Squawks’ estranged or forgotten brother in a way, and I think it’s cool they did more with him.

For those unaware, he appeared in Parrot Chute Panic in DKC2, and returned in DKC3 for Low-G Labyrinth and Buzzer Barage.

Discussion I've just realized that the Pay-dirt Piledriver in Donkey Kong Bananza runs on Banandium Gems just like how the Odyssey in Super Mario Odyssey runs on Power Moons because both Bananza and Odyssey are both made by the same development team.

News/Announcement Yo, it's been a while! I'm just here to say that DKC4, a 'fan game project', were postponed to 2027 (No release date yet) instead of being launched at November 21th 2026. Buiu (one of the devs of this project) It's fixing some bugs and improving some elements.

Just a reminder that i'm not one of the developers of this fangame. I'm just a fan that wants to help this project the best i can.

Also, DKC4 Discord Server Link is right in comments.

Discussion Tiny Kong was always taller and more anthro than Diddy and Dixie

Source on height comparison:

I can't find any comparisons of Tiny's redesign vs Dixie in Mario Super Sluggers or Donkey Kong Barrel Blast.

But, point stands, Tiny's redesign wasn't out of left field. She was always designed like a bipedal Kong, not a chimpanzee-style Kong like Dixie or Diddy.

Even in DK64, Tiny was taller than Diddy Kong (and subsequently Dixie Kong). She just grew even taller in the timespan between Donkey Kong 64 -> Diddy Kong Racing DS.

What are your thoughts on Enchanted Riverbank (Ground) GBA? Is it the worst level theme in the trilogy or do you have a different nominee? For me, it's the clear choice.

Discussion With Melee's 25th just around the corner, I am curious about your thoughts on the DK music selection in Smash Bros.

4 Upvotes

For context, here's the full list:

Opening--Donkey Kong (Brawl arrangement of the title theme, game start jingle, 25m, and Hammer from the Donkey Kong arcade game, by Shota Kageyama)

Donkey Kong Country Returns (arrangement of the DKC version of the Donkey Kong arcade title theme, taken directly from the game of the same name)

Donkey Kong Country Returns (Vocals) (Sm4sh arrangement of the above song, by Kenji Yamamoto)

Donkey Kong (Brawl arrangement of 25m [with hints of other songs/jingles from the Donkey Kong arcade game], by Hirokazu Tanaka)

25m (original; NES version in Brawl and Sm4sh; arcade version in Ultimate)

Donkey Kong/Donkey Kong Jr. Medley (Ultimate arrangement of 12 different songs/jingles from the Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Jr. arcade games, by Yusuke Takahama)

The Map Page/Bonus Level (Ultimate arrangement of Simian Segue and Bonus Room Blitz, by Hiroshi Yamaguchi)

The Map Page/Bonus Level (also known as Simian Segue and Bonus Room Blitz; original)

Jungle Level (64 arrangement of DK Island Swing, by Hirokazu Ando)

Jungle Level (Melee arrangement of DK Island Swing, by Shogo Sakai)

Jungle Level ver. 1 (Brawl arrangement of DK Island Swing, by Kentaro Ishizaka; NOT IN ULTIMATE)

Jungle Level ver. 2 (Brawl arrangement of DK Island Swing, by Motoi Sakuraba)

Jungle Level Jazz Style (Sm4sh arrangement of DK Island Swing, by Hiroyuki Kawada)

Jungle Level Tribal Style (Sm4sh arrangement of DK Island Swing, by Hiroyuki Kawada)

Jungle Hijinx (arrangement of DK Island Swing, taken directly from Donkey Kong Country Returns)

Swinger Flinger (also known as K-Levels 1; arrangement of DK Island Swing and Token Tango, taken directly from Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze)

Ice Cave Chant (original)

Funky's Fugue (original)

Snakey Chantey (Ultimate arrangement of the song of the same name and Gangplank Galleon, by Kumi Tanioka)

Gangplank Galleon (Ultimate arrangement, by ACE)

King K. Rool/Ship Deck 2 (Brawl arrangement of Gangplank Galleon, by Shogo Sakai)

Stickerbush Symphony (Brawl arrangement, by Michiko Naruke)

Crocodile Cacophony (Ultimate arrangement, by Soshi Abe)

DK Rap (Melee arrangement, by Hirokazu Ando)

Battle for Storm Hill (original)

DK Jungle 1 (Barrel Blast) (original; NOT IN ULTIMATE)

Boss 1--DK Jungle Climber (original)

Mole Patrol (original)

Gear Getaway (Sm4sh arrangement of the song of the same name and DK Island Swing, by Noriyuki Iwadare)

Mangrove Cove (original)

Yeah, this is all over the place. There are some based picks, like Ice Cave Chant, Battle for Storm Hill, and Mole Patrol, and the unique arrangements speak for themselves. But man, there are too many variations of the arcade songs and DK Island Swing here, and they definitely could've trimmed some of that out.

Also, personal opinion: I like Melee's DK Rap. Yeah, yeah, something, something, Diddy's part bad, blah, blah, blah. Honestly, though, it's pretty unique, and I think Mr. Kirby Composer #2 is responsible for that unique flair.

Here's hoping for that sweet DKC3 GBA representation that we'll realistically never get in the future (oh, also, Bananza music, obviously).
