09/19/00



i was at target today with my friend today,and i saw a mario tennis booth,with no-one playing it.JOY! I weant over,and started a game against birdo. here is my opinion of the game.
review #1 singles match-me(boo)vs.birdo
controls-very easy to figure out,never went wrong,very good setup,ended up not realizing i could srve multiple ways till i left.
overall controls-9.4
difficulty-depends on you and your enimies charecters,not too hard,unless the other guy is serving,then it gets a bit tough. It gets easier if you are on the bowser court,which has several item boxes,hitting the ball through it starts a mario-cartish roullete to decide your item,and each one was useful. (reviewers note-if you want a list of the items i saw,just e-mail me)
difficulty-8.6
fun-no need to explain
overall fun-10.0 courts-every court was fun,and i only had time to try 2 courts,oh well,maybe next week.
overall courts-7.8(not enough info to give a better rating)
sound-not much sound,hard to hear,they had the game volume way down,could not even tell if there was background music.
rating of sound- 7
overall(note-if posted in mario tennis section,sould you add one of the score bars to show it?)
overall-9
review #2-took over for a kid behind me when a kid behind me was loosing his doubles match
teams-my team(yoshi me,dk was my teammate)vs.mario/luigi. overall,double is fun,a bit harder,since only the reciever can hit the serve,but very useful when you want to use a power shot. overall doubles team experience rating-a good round 8.5,which brings the game total to.... 8.6...i would give it a nine,but i could not get a decent sound report,so there.
i have also included (next emal,need to re-scan it soon,accidentilty deleted)a picture of DK stuffed plush from an old nintendo propaganda. enjoy,from
-Sean ried, usa

Chad: Nice review, thanks. I'd have to disagree with your appreciation for the Bowser Court, as it's damned confusing. I understand all the controls, but with all that stuff going on at once it loese its appeal quickly. Also, the game is good at first, but after a while the fun factor dramatically decreases. Thanks for the scan offer, but I've got that plush DK sitting atop my computer. If we need a picture I'll just bugger Our Friend into taking one.



This may be a stupid queston, but do you think King Kong and Donkey Kong are related?
-Gamingboy

Slush: I don't really have the energy to deal with this kind of crap tonight. So instead of just replying with "sigh, moron, or bite me," I'm going to have a Mr. Mooney Award showdown. I'm going to award points to the stupider letters and then at the very end of this edition of Letters, give the Mr. Mooney award to somebody. On a stupidity scale from one to ten, this gets a four.



Chad, You rock, Yes Pokemon red and Blue blow every other pokemon game away. (except SSB and TCG GB)
-Dantv64dan@aol.com

Chad: Super Smash Bros. isn't a Pokemon game. It's a DKU game. And I know the real-life card game is mindnumbingly boring (as opposed to Star Wars CCG, for example), so I can only imagine how completely redundant the Game Boy version is. I still say Red and Blue are the only remotely good games of the series. I'll be buying Silver, but that's mainly to check out the internal clock feature, which I'm very interested in. I'll also be buying Banjo-Tooie, Donkey Kong Country, Conker's Bad Fur Day, Dinosaur Planet, Color Tennis GB, Mario Party 3, and Mario Kart Advance, if anyone's cares to know.



You got sope in my I's! Bug off, you heathen munky! AAAAAHHHHH
-seBoy

Slush: Thanks for writing such an intelligent, incredible letter. On a stupidity scale from one to ten, this gets a six.



Dear Chad,
First of all, what do you think of Bonkey Kong? He is a character that I made up, and as Wario is to Mario, Bonkey is to Donkey. I know it's stupid, but anyway...
Why do you guys think that Donkey Kong Island is off the coast of Africa? Our dimension is a "non-cartoony" dimension, so animals can't talk or do human-like activities. Nobody can survive being blown up by explosions, being crushed by heavy objects, etc. In addition to that, Donkey Kong Island is not found in our geography. Due to these points, I think that DK Island is in another dimension, which I call the N/R Dimension (I call it that because it is the dimension that many Nintendo and Rare stars seem to live in). This dimension is "magical;" items float in the air, characters can survive nonsurvivable things, like humongous explosions. I don't think that the Kongs are like 'cartoon' characters, many 'cartoony' things happen to them because they live in a 'magical dimension. To conclude with, many Rare and Nintendo characters make so many cameo appearances; it just seems to me that they live in the same dimension.
You guys don't have to like the DK TV Show; opinions are opinions. I just don't see why you guys don't like it. The show actually supports your DKU; Cranky refers to Donkey as his son, K. Rool has the same evil intentions to destroy the Kongs and rule the island, the characters have the same personality as in the games, and much more. Also, it appears that you guys aren't familiar with the show; there are no daily picnics; I have no clue how you guys came up with that. Donkey Kong isn't overly stupid as you claim. He's as stupid in the show as he is in the games. He just has a laid back, relaxed personality. In fact, DK has outsmarted the overly intelligent K. Rool. I've also remembered someone commenting that Krusha should be smarter than Klump. The truth is that Krusha is smarter than Klump. In one episode, Krusha gets hit by a minecart, which knocks Krusha's brain back into his head. Then, Krusha nearly overthrows K. Rool. That's not all...
If the little non-important details of the show are bothering you, like calling the island Kongo Bongo, I have a theory just for you. The whole show takes place before DKC1. The island is named Kongo Bongo and K. Rool is not a pirate yet. When the Crystal Coconut is found, K. Rool wants to abuse its power to rule the island. However, DK is fortold to be the future ruler and DK foils K. Rool's plans. Eventually, DK does become the ruler. This is even mentioned in the atlas section of the DKC1 instruction booklet. The island is changed to DK Island to honor DK. By this time, Klump already discovered that his long lost brother is Captain Scurvy (that was mentioned in an episode). K. Rool decides to join forces with the pirates. He finds his own island, but he still wants revenge on DK. Due to K. Rool's cravings to rule the island, he figures that if he can't rule it, nobody can, so he makes plans to destroy the island. This is just one close relation that the show and games share.
What's wrong with the new apes on the show. These apes (like Bluster) aren't Kong family members, they're just other apes on the island. I mean, Big Ape City must be filled somehow, so there must be other apes on the island besides the Kong family. Wrinkly even says to watch out for falling monkeys in DKC3.
The show also has a lot of action, humor, and delightful DK fun. It's exciting when DK has to make big decisions, like the time when he must decide to either save Diddy or the island. I love it how K. Rool is so evil, just like Gannon from The Legend of Zelda. K. Rool has made some very close victories in destroying Donkey Kong. Nintendo seems to support the show since they put an advertisement for it in one of their Nintendo Power videos.
Anyway, of course you don't have to like the show, but if you gave it a real chance, I'm sure you will love it. If you still don't like it, I'll accept that because opinions are opinions. For those of you who want to watch it, check out the Fox Family Channel on . Thank you for your time. Sincerely,
-?????? ????

P.S.: I'm sorry if this is late, but Happy Aniversary, DK's Jungle Vine! Check out www.thehungersite.com to feed the hungry!

Chad: Nice artwork. I prefer K. Rool really, but it's a nice idea. As for the explanations as to how the apes talk and such, check our TimeVine (as linked on the Games page). It's all there. And another dimansion wouldn't explain the words "Twycross, England" printed on the side of the Rusty Bucket very well, now would it? As for the rest of the letter, I believe we've stated our standpoint as far as the cartoon goes, so I won't respond to that bit at all.

P.S. Thanks. And it's refreshing for someone to ask for a link that's of no gain to themselves and is a worthy cause. Everybody click that link there. Well, not now. Wait until you finish reading Letters, then click it.




I get sick of you constantly making such nausating pictures and comments of Pikachu! You better quit it! Oh by the way, did you know I know where you live and can rip your skull easily? HAHAHAHAHA
-Ness554@aol.com

PS: Quit with the bad Pikachu pictures OR ELSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Slush: Which begs the question. What if Nintendo happened to stumble upon our site, and saw that it featured homemade drawings of their favorite hellspawn piece of character merchandise being raped, sodomized, bloodied, bruised, and battered every few weeks? Would we be shut down faster than you can say, "what's the point of a Pokemon puzzle game?" or would they be gracious that we at least took the common courtesy of mauling the rat with other Nintendo (and sometimes Rare) characters? Either way, even Chad was disturbed by tonight's "bad" Pikachu picture, and he drew the damn thing.



Chad,
You should give a grade to each of the letters you receive. Use this scale:
A+...Exceptionally written, innovative, uses correct grammar and spelling.
A.....Makes legitimate points and uses correct punctuation.
A-....Utilizes knowledge and correct punctuation.
B.....Might be a mistake here or there, but they're only human.
C+...A handful of mistakes - but who knows, he could be a foreigner.
C-....Seems to have failed second grade three or four times.
D.....Apparently goes out of his way to make a horribly written letter.
F.....Insults the DK Vine staff, the DKU, politicians living or dead, hard-working middle class families just trying to support their children, religious groups, and any living being all while using poor grammar, spelling, punctuation, capitalization, and throwing some strange symbols into the mix.
-SirNick

P.S. Can we look forward to a Heroes of Kazaam 2?
B.S. Can you rate this letter?
B.O. Can you rate every other letter on this page?

Chad: This letter's a Load of Arse. I'll rate it "LoA".

P.S. You can look forward all you want. We still have yet to decide whether you'll see anything.
B.S. LoA
B.O. LoA




Slush,
Mario Tennis is here and I must say that it's great! The multiplayer is unique - it's hard to call it 'the best' because there's nothing to compare it to - and the single player is fun and challenging. I think that the next Mario Sports game should be Mario Fencing. It's a great sport in real life, and I think it would be suitable for the DKU/Mario Kingdom. They would probably spice it up a bit; perhaps, using light sabers or real swords. Anyway, it's a good idea and it probably will (not) happen. I notice from the letters and posts you respond to that you think that DKC3 is the best, but DKC2 is your favourite. How is this possible?
-SirNick

P.S. Why is Leigh Loveday writing in? Shouldn't he be updating Scribes or something? (yeah I know, I should be grateful for the B-T movie, etc.)

Slush: I have yet to purchase Mario Tennis, but I'm planning to soon. I can't wait to delve deeply into the game, and not be standing in a department store trying to focus on it. As for my opinion on DKC3 being the best and DKC2 being my favorite, the way I see it DKC3 is the most balanced and fun game. However, DKC2 is my favorite probably because I like the combination of the characters, location, story, and theme better. That's just the way I see things.

P.S. Yes, he should be. Yes, he should be indeed....




When did you and Slush start writing all your updates in spanish?
-vanillagorilla-zimblot1@juno.com

Chad: When we discovered the AltaVista text translator.



Well, Slush, at least the Beuty Contest isn't getting any replies...................... For now........................
-vanillagorilla-zimblot1@juno.com

Slush: If you don't know what Vanilla Ice is talking about, he's referring to the rampant stupidity found on our Bulletin Board. If you enjoy the mind shattering morons in Letters but haven't been to our Bulletin Board, you haven't seen anything yet. Sweet sassy molassy.



Ah... it seems a true sign of web-based maturity when a simple link request cannot go through without being posted in the mailbag and the sender being forced to answer three brain-taxing questions, wanting ever so dearly to ruin the webmaster's ability to have children with a blunt hacksaw.

Hang on - that doesn't make sense. Still, it's an indication that DK Vine isn't your average stereotypical "I-steal-my-content-off-IGN-because-my-head-is-too-far-lodged-up-my-arse-for-me-to-get-my-own-material" fansite.

Anyhoot, I've only been lurking here for a month or so, and me likes what me sees so far. It's kinda like Rareware without the "update scribes every 6 months" policy and lacking (for better or for worse) any suveying pantsmeister for a mascot.

Onto the answers, then.

>1. Name two members of the A-Team.
Hannibal and B.A. (nicknamed as such for his "bad attitude", apparently). I'm not even sure they screened the bloody show in Australia...

>2. Name all four Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (spelling counts).
Donatello, Raphael, Leonardo, Michaelangelo ("...is a party dude!") and more recently, Venus de Milo. Trust modern television to ruin my childhood memories. 'The Next Mutation'? My God, is nothing sacred?

>3. Rare actually made a B-K render of Banjo and Kazooie playing their musical instruments, but it was only shown in one place. What is this place?
I believe it's none other than the Banjo-Kazooie bullet train. http://rareware.com/recent/news/bktrain/ Haha! I am invincible! INVINCIBLE!!!

*runs on to highway to declare his discovery to the world only to get hit by a particularly large truck*

Ugh!...Happy... now.... Chad?

*collapses*
-HappyBob

Chad: Well, let's take a look at this.... Oh, you took a cheap shot at Rare Central, and praised us in doing so! Great! And the Pants chap was left out, but March, 2000 Updates had a lovely "Microbe vs. Financially Challenged Human" fight towards the end of the month. It would do you some good to check it out. On to your answers, then...

1. I pity the fool who don't mention Mr. T as one of the A-Team members. But you listed two correct ones, so I supose I'll count it right. Sucka'.
2. I really should count this one wrong for your mention of the Godawful "Next Mutation" series, but since you seem somewhat opposed to it, let's put a check by it and go on.
3. What the hell? You got this one right? I thought I would have stumped you with this. Well, then, Rubber ChickeN64 is now the newest member to the Links page. You're the first to get this distinct Recieved-Link-Through-Letters-Page honor. Congratulations.




I got this cool story to tell and I'm going to make it short and sweet:

One day, every body killed every Pokemon and ate Pikachu. the end
-ChuckRoast

Slush: One day, a Gnawty chewed on the shriveled testicles of Pikachu. Pikachu bled. I laughed. Then I vomited. Seriously, this is going too far...




On the update on September 3, 2000 you talked in a different languageˇ Opps! That first exclamation mark is upside down! Anyway, the link is to the neverending story thing and when you said "el planeta de Dinosaur" I quickly thought you meant Dinosaur Planet. What was it about? What was the subtext FUNNO? And when do you plan to put Old King Coal's name in his description on the BT Bosses list?*

I just got Mario Tennis on August 30, and it rocks! It has a cool intro and more secret courses:

Piranha Plant Court (Beat the Piranha Plant Challenge perfectly) I have yet to get this course... Mario & Luigi Court (Beat Star Cup in Doubles with Mario) There's castles on each side of the court as the Super Mario Bros. 1 theme song plays. Wario & Waluigi Court (Beat Star Cup in Doubles with Wario) The court is surrounded by treasure as music from Wario Land 3 (for Game Boy Color) plays.

That's all for now. Expect more soon. Bye!

*Someone sent a letter about an "opion" that Lord Harry is awesome and this question was in a PS but you never answer it.
-NES Boy

Chad: I was having a bit of fun with the translator, yes. It was nothing more than the fact that Dinosaur Planet would be appearing at ECTS. No big deal. We'll add Old King Coal's name when we damn well feel like it. (i.e. next time that page is updated).

Yes, the bonus unlockings are the only things that keep me playing Mario Tennis. I expect once I complete it, the cartridge will work its way to the back of my rotation. Almost no replay value. Why does everybody keep praising that game, when Mario Golf is the obvious superior? Eh? EH? Take off, hoser.




Hey Slush! I am going to ask you the most important question in the world. It is so important that you better shut up and listen. It is so important that the existence of my sanity depends on this single question. It is so important that if I don't ask you it Louie the Budwieser Lizard will destroy the frogs that go "Bud", "Wies", and "Er" and the Budwieser Ferret. It is so important that even Our Friend can make something this important. Now I will ask you and you reply, ok? Ok. The question is... How did those "cropped symmetrical lattices" create you? (In Chad's update for February 8, 2000, the Webmaster Section subtitle FUNNO said, "Slush was made thanks to cropped symmetrical lattices.") Also, this is not a question, but something very revealing! Yes, it has to do with Mario Tennis (GBC), or Color Tennis GB if you will (At least Mario Golf for GBC isn't called Color Golf GB)! I found them at "Super Mario 64 Central". Take a guess. Yes! I have DK Vine Exclusive screenshots featuring Alex, Harry, Keit and Nina (N64 wise)! Click here, here, here, and here for them!
None of them look like the Harry from Mario Golf 64 (I called it that since there's one for GBC as well), but one of them looks an awful lot like Maple and Azalea (The site for the GBC version of Mario Golf said Azalea looks like Maple). Oh, and one more thing, can you ask Chad to please post a drawing of Donkey Kong from the character section of the Mario Golf 64 Instruction Manual? But still Slush, you gotta answer the important question I asked you at the beginning of the letter. Please! Don't let this go unanswered! Don't let Louie kill those poor frogs and ferret! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ...Thank you.
-NES Boy

PS: You're right. Little Luigi does get more insane as the weeks go by.

Slush: Thanks for the pics, even though we've seen them already. Now you get a cookie. Oh, and here's your picture. As for you question, Chad was on medication at the time to control "his rage," so you should have taken what he said with a grain of salt (I'm not really a giant question mark man, folks.....or am I?)



Hey Chad, what's your highest score in the Rambi Areana minigame in DK 64? Mine's 170. Can you beat that?
-Lemoniefresh

Chad: I don't like the Rambi arena. There's too much luck involved for my tastes. My record is 125. I adore, on the other hand, the Enguarde Arena. My record there is 405. I AM A MACHINE! RAAAR!



Heyo, DKviners. I just became a big-o fan of this here site, especially for the stories, that are fictional, but make sense, and the witty smart-arse comments. So, I will now make a total jerk of myself, and make this fairly funny list.

The Main Signs You Play Too Much Donkey Kong:
1. In DKC, you jump off as many cliffs as you can, just to try to find every hidden cannon barrel.
2. You try to find Bluster Kong in DK64, just to play him in Multiplayer mode and kill yerself.
3. You try to use the TRIPLE jump as Diddy in DK64, just to prove that he's a rip-off of Mario.
4. You think you can find the Flying Kroc in DKC3 by flying over the mountains using the Gyrocopter and honking the horn 100,739,674 times.
5. You try to find Luigi in DK64.
6. You try to find Dixie in Mario 64.
7. You find out that in Pilot wings 64, if you hit Mario's nose on Mt. Rushmore, his face will turn into Wario's, so you try to use Diddy's Jetpack and fly into DK's head on the island, trying to turn it into K.Rool's head. (DK64)
8. You actually find DK64's Lost World ((There IS no Lost World in DK64, BTW...)) over the green mountains in Mario 64.
9. You find Mario64's Bowser's castle (non-existant) in DK64.
10. You buy 100 Bananas, and dissapointed that you didn't get an extra life.
11. You actually get this far on this list...
12. You find this list insulting to your religion.
13. You try to swim off the map in DKC3 just to try to find Spiral Mountain...
14. You get rope burn from playing Ropey Rumpus over and over again...
15. You constantly stomp on your pet lizard..
16. You constantly stomp on Beavers.
17. Your room is a storage for Bananas, and you have a sign that says "No Lizards Allowed"
18. You find this list so insulting, that you send me spam mail.
19. You spell words that usually start with C with a K.
20. Last, but not least... You make your living, playing bongos, while wearing a red tie that says DK on it, and kill carpenters with barrels, whiling holding captive a woman, while on a high building. *takes a breath*

Uh, okay, I think that's it... Dun kill meh for making such a long list, I was bored. Yeah, yer thinking, get a life... Well, gimme a day.. I'll buy 100 Bananas at my local super-market.
-ghosthaunter64@yahoo.com

Slush: Thanks for the letter. It's always nice to hear from new blood as far as letters are concerned. Smart arse comments? We haven't had any smart arse comments for months now; as a lack of sleep, a workload in "real" life, and then getting on every night trying to come up with an update (and usually just saying to Hell with it all and throwing an Artwork out there) drains us of the ability to be cute 'n clever like little cows on a milk carton. Nice list though, and as for "stomping beavers".....well, that's a new euphemism, isn't it?



My good friend asked that I e-mail you a quick hello and how are you doing!!!!!
-Bill K

Our Friend: I was doing fairly well until Chad informed me I had a letter to answer. Thanks for decreasing the quality of my day, you ass.



hey, your site rocks because you actually make updates, unlike some other dk sites. so keep it up.
-cherdle101@aol.com

Chad: Just when we were about to stop updating too... Well, I can't disappoint you, you little rascal. Aww...



At the channel, Cartoon Network, their thing called Toonami is having this thing called "The Intruder" where the ABSOLUTION is being screwed up and it stars TOM (The robot host of Toonami). And it's being brought to you by none other than MARIO TENNIS! It's starting on September 18. For more information, go to www.toonami.com (it's not my website, so don't try to quiz me.).
-KAVM3@aol.com

Slush: Well, I usually don't go out of my way to watch programs that are SPONSERED by the games I enjoy/want to buy. However, Chad gets Cartoon Newtork (I don't though), so he probably understands what you're talking me. As for myself, you've made my brain ache even more with your "absolution" gibberish. On a scale from one to ten, this gets a three because you made my grey matter throb.



Sorry I'm sending too much E-mail to you for this edition Letters (Nevermind this sentence if the new Letters edition is posted today as in September 16, 2000). Anyway I got some long overdue stuff for you. First the stuff from April 22, 2000:

"DKL mode? What are you talking about?"
Well, in Super Mario Brothers DX, if you beat "Luigi"'s score, you get to play Super Mario Brothers for Super Players" which is actually the Japanese version of Super Mario Bros. 2. If there is going to be a Donkey Kong Country for Game Boy Color, would there be the levels from DKL as a prize for beating the "Lost Level"?

"K. Rool is on a rock? Hmm, I thought he was just booted off into the ocean by K. Lumsy."
Well, in your K. Rool Biography (Before the whole entire site crashed one fateful day), after you talked about what K. Rool did in DK64, it said, "K. Rool is currently located on a rock." That makes sense, rather than being lost at sea, right?

Well, that's all for the first section. In the next section, on April 30, 2000, Slush got confused over a letter. Well, Slush, it was a "two parter letter" by Pikachamp featuring Pikachump. Here's Pikachump's part of the letter:

-----------------------------------

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR POKEMON RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
-Pikachump
P.S. Pikachamp did not make me say this (looks around and whispers "help me")

-----------------------------------

Here's Pikachamp's part of the letter:

-----------------------------------

what did you say my furry (and also scaly and feathery) friend dang dropped my gun...
oh hi, uh i was wondering when your going to update your DK timevine
-Pikachamp A.K.A owner of Pikachump
P.S. you should get a message board and chatroom

-----------------------------------

Poor Pikachump... Anyway, here's the last thing I wanna do before I leave... Quotes for my team members of "Heroes Of Kazaam" (One for each one), including me!

"The show's been cancelled! YAAAHHH!!! That's wonderful news, as now we won't have to put up with a pale imitation of the DKU." - Behonkiss

"Now, I must get going and find Little Waluigi!" - Little Luigi

"No!!! I missed an edition of letters!! Now my life will never be complete!! All I have are my bouncy kangaroos and cuddly koalas (with their razor sharp claws) to comfort me! Oh woe is me." - Aussie Ben

"Unless I'm waaay behind in technology and you guys went back in time and re-wrote the update, or something fishy is going on. MMMMMM.....fish." - Jon

"when mumbo lifts the train, maybe the pad is what lets you play as mumbo (like in rocket:robot on wheels)" - SeanMR68

"(Quietly) Will I ever shut up?" - NES Boy
Well, that's all for now!
See ya soon, ya big baboon!
-NES Boy

PS: I got the closing sentence from a CD-ROM Living Book thing called Ruff's Bone.
PPS: I know Aussie Ben, Little Luigi, and SeanMR68's e-mail addresses, but not Jon's and Behonkiss's. Can you tell me what they are?
PPPS: I noticed that the first Anti-Pikachu picture (the one with a Klaptrap clubbing Pikachu's butt from March 20, 2000) is the only Anti-Pikachu picture with actual talking (via a Speech Balloon). The recent ones don't have that.
PPPPS: Ben, actually, that "giant amoeba" killed that "poorly drawn Ghetto dude" before Our Friend killed him.

Chad: This certainly is a long letter. Phew. Where to begin? Oh, right, the beginning.
Perhaps Rare will toss in a few colorized DKL levels, but I rather doubt it. I think we're all content with the bonus games and Lost Level anyway. Slush wrote that K. Rool bit. I suppose he is on a rock then. Sorry for the mistake.
The Pikachump stuff escapes me, so I'll just skip it.
I don't appreciate the Australian stereotyping of Aussie Ben. Nice effort with the rest of 'em, though.

P.S. You mean you didn't think of it yourself? I TRUSTED YOU, NES BOY! AARGH!
P.P.S. No.
P.P.P.S. That's because I created that one. The newer ones (with the transparent backgrounds and characters surrounded by white auras) are a joint effort of Slush's brain and my right hand.
P.P.P.P.S. That's right, Ben. For shame.




Hello Chad & Slush!

I've put together a little story for you and your viewers!

Donkey Kong and the Beach of Doom

DK, Candy, and Diddy are taking a dip on the beach...
Candy: Could the day be more beeeeeee-u-ti-full!
Diddy: Could you be more ugly?
Candy: I've just about had enough of you!
Donkey: Will you two stop? We got bigger problems than you arguing. Look up to the sky and see!
Diddy: AGH! It's a giant meteor!!!
Candy: We're doomed!
Donkey: It's heading right towards us...
As the three Kongs panic, Cranky Kong comes out of the jungle to calm them down...
Cranky: You big dope! I've been telling you about this day for years! I've been telling you what to do when this meteor comes since you were 5.
Donkey: Huh?
Cranky: What? Where am I?
Donkey: We were talking about the meteor!!!!!!!!
Cranky: Meteor? How do I get home?
Diddy: We're going to be cut in tiny peices and blasted into oblivion!
Donkey: Hey Candy, should we shag now or shag later?
Diddy: Yuck! Come on guys, humans are reading this story!
Donkey: Story? Oh yea. And since this is a story I can tell Little Luigi to terminate the big meteor less than 5 seconds from impact.
Just before the meteor hits it dissapears.
Candy: Wizards!
Diddy: I guess that's all folks!

------------------------------------------

The movie version should hit theaters this Christmas.

Signed,
-Little Luigi

Slush: Damnit, you've confused me even more. On a scale from one to ten, this gets a nine. Looks like you one Little Luigi. The Mr. Mooney Award is yours this time. Ye-us!



I just saw your movies, they are really great but poor banjo and diddy, that is the only thing i didn't liked about that movie. But everything else was great.
-Santiago, santiago_85@hotmail.com

Chad: Heh heh heh... glad you liked them. Expect more when I have a few hours to kill.



Hello,
In DK Land (1) I can't find the letter "K" on level Spiky Tire Trail (world 3). (It's likely directly above the start of the level but I can't get up to the platform near the first dk barrel where you can see bananas in a vertical line pointing at the platform above). Could you please tell me how to find the "K"? it's the last thing for me to find in the game.
THANKS A LOT

Chad: I love these gameplay queries for uncommon games. At the beginning of the level in question, immediately go left and jump. There will be a barrel cannon quickly moving up, and you should be able to catch it to blast you up to the platform which has a several of bananas and the coveted "K". Glad to help.
