Pyrrhic Kong (@DesigningFor) returns to the show to try to find the commonality that makes the modern Donkey Kong character so appealing to generations of fans. Is there any consistency in the portrayal and gameplay mechanics of the heir to the 1980s arcade legend? Did what Rare intend for the character hold up over the years? Can we make sense of the times the character felt lost? And why has Bananza's depiction of DK been so pleasing to the majority of his fans?
