As the franchise that put <a href="/wiki/Nintendo" title="Nintendo">Nintendo</a> on the map, <i>Donkey Kong</i><span class="nowrap" style="padding-left:0.1em;">'s</span> got one of the most bizarre and entertaining histories of any media franchise—did you know, for instance, that the <a href="/wiki/Donkey_Kong_(1981_video_game)" title="Donkey Kong (1981 video game)">1981 original</a> began as a <i><a href="/wiki/Popeye" title="Popeye">Popeye</a></i> game? Or that <a href="/wiki/Shigeru_Miyamoto" title="Shigeru Miyamoto">Shigeru Miyamoto</a>, widely regarded as the Spielberg of video games, had never designed a video game before he had to create the big ape to save Nintendo from bankruptcy? <i>Or</i> that the franchise got a <a href="/wiki/Donkey_Kong_Country_(TV_series)" title="Donkey Kong Country (TV series)">musical TV adaptation in the late '90s animated entirely through motion capture</a>? </p><p>I've spent almost two years working on this article, from <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Donkey_Kong&oldid=1140918497">February 2023</a> until now.

(2) A lot of <i>Saturday Supercade</i> is considered <a href="/wiki/Lost_television_broadcast" title="Lost television broadcast">lost media</a> because rebroadcasts and rereleases are very rare and much of it was never recorded, I think it's possible that there were more episodes beyond the 13 ones listed at the <i>Saturday Supercade</i> article so that number could be inaccurate. Best to omit it if we don't have the sourcing. <a href="/wiki/User:TheJoebro64" title="User:TheJoebro64"><small style="color:red">JOE</small></a><a href="/wiki/User_talk:TheJoebro64" title="User talk:TheJoebro64"><small>BRO</small></a><a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/TheJoebro64" title="Special:Contributions/TheJoebro64"><sup style="color:#D18719">64</sup></a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates/Donkey_Kong/archive1#c-TheJoebro64-20241112152500-FM-4" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">15:25, 12 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-TheJoebro64-20241112152500-FM-4"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-TheJoebro64-20241112152500-FM-4"></span></li></ul></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Eveline_Novakovic" class="mw-redirect" title="Eveline Novakovic"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-TheJoebro64-20241112152500-FM-5"></span>Eveline Novakovic</a>'s lastname was Fischer at the relevant period, would it make more sense to use the name she was credited as back then? <ul><li>Done.

I ask partially because the "Rare's games expanded the cast" sentence is trying to pack a lot of information in, is a bit confusing (when you get to the end and we're talking about antagonists instead) and hits you with a ton of names that most people are not necessarily going to know anyhow. <ul><li>How's it now? I chopped it down to only the characters who have articles (e.g. Mario and Pauline). I think "friendly Kongs" should suffice for the supporting characters; I kept mention of the Kremlings since they're the only recurring antagonists. <a href="/wiki/User:TheJoebro64" title="User:TheJoebro64"><small style="color:red">JOE</small></a><a href="/wiki/User_talk:TheJoebro64" title="User talk:TheJoebro64"><small>BRO</small></a><a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/TheJoebro64" title="Special:Contributions/TheJoebro64"><sup style="color:#D18719">64</sup></a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates/Donkey_Kong/archive1#c-TheJoebro64-20241107190800-Comments_by_David_Fuchs" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">19:08, 7 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-TheJoebro64-20241107190800-Comments_by_David_Fuchs"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-TheJoebro64-20241107190800-Comments_by_David_Fuchs"></span></li></ul></li> <li><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-TheJoebro64-20241107190800-TheJoebro64-20241107190800"></span>In both the lead and body, the text says "to provide a new game that could salvage the unsold Radar Scope cabinets", and I'm wondering if "salvage" makes sense here?

But regardless, just wanted to say thank you! For swapping around those gameplay images! Those are definitely some excellent choices, considering that most of the games are dark jungles and finding good ones can be tricky. The second one <i>does</i> have a dark background, but the lack of intractable gameplay elements on top of that besides the barrels, which are the object of discussion, keep the image clear for demonstration. <a href="/wiki/User:Panini!" title="User:Panini!"><span style="color:#F40">Panini!</span></a> <span style="color:#F40">•</span> <a href="/wiki/User_talk:Panini!" title="User talk:Panini!">🥪</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates/Donkey_Kong/archive1#c-Panini!-20241105223900-Comment_from_Panini!" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">22:39, 5 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Panini!-20241105223900-Comment_from_Panini!"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Panini!-20241105223900-Comment_from_Panini!"></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Gog_the_Mild-20241106181700-Panini!-20241105223900"></span>No rule.

Here's a few ideas: </p> <ul><li><span style="color:green;">Rare began working on Donkey Kong 64, the first Donkey Kong game to feature 3D gameplay</span> - since Diddy Kong Racing has been introduced, should we call this a "regular" Donkey kong game? Also, should we mention the N64 expansion pack? <ul><li>changed to "first 3D <i>DK</i> platform game". I'm not sure about mentioning the Expansion Pak because I don't think it's really important to the franchise as a whole. It's definitely a neat tidbit about the game itself but this article's more about the grand scheme of things so I don't think it's necessary. <a href="/wiki/User:TheJoebro64" title="User:TheJoebro64"><small style="color:red">JOE</small></a><a href="/wiki/User_talk:TheJoebro64" title="User talk:TheJoebro64"><small>BRO</small></a><a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/TheJoebro64" title="Special:Contributions/TheJoebro64"><sup style="color:#D18719">64</sup></a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates/Donkey_Kong/archive1#c-TheJoebro64-20241112150600-Support_from_Bowser" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">15:06, 12 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-TheJoebro64-20241112150600-Support_from_Bowser"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-TheJoebro64-20241112150600-Support_from_Bowser"></span></li></ul></li> <li><span style="color:green;"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-TheJoebro64-20241112150600-TheJoebro64-20241112150600"></span>In April 2023, Rogen said he saw "a lot of opportunity" in the prospect.

Ichiro Shirai, one of Nintendo's hardware engineers, created the <i>Donkey Kong</i> D-pad and both filed and was awarded the patent for it. However, he did not create the D-pad!
