He\u2019s finally back to show some tail \u2014 in <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/impressions\/613650\/donkey-kong-bananza-switch-2-launch-day-impressions\">Donkey Kong Bananza<\/a><\/em>, that is.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">If you\u2019re playing the newest Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive, perhaps your eyes have been drawn to a particular area of the brown gorilla\u2019s anatomy. It\u2019s kind of hard to avoid, given that you play <em>Bananza<\/em> from a third-person perspective where Donkey Kong\u2019s back is constantly facing you. I\u2019m referring, of course, to the bodacious beast\u2019s derriere, which has been lovingly rendered using the latest and greatest Nintendo technology. <\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">During most of the gameplay, Donkey Kong appears somewhat far away, so his behind isn\u2019t at the forefront. But near the start of the game, you unlock the Kong Bananza transformation. It\u2019s a powerful metamorphosis that gives a hint of Super Saiyan as Donkey Kong beefs up into a yellow-haired menace who can eradicate all sorts of terrain. And in this enormous form, every aspect of Donkey Kong\u2019s body is enlarged \u2014 including his butt. Once you get this get this power, you\u2019re likely to notice that Donkey Kong is wildly caked up. It doesn\u2019t help that part of the character design includes black markings that almost form an arrow pointing down DK\u2019s crack, almost as if it were a tribal tattoo tramp stamp. On social media, people can\u2019t help but <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/VisualMae\/status\/1945849130443530299\">notice the outsized rump<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">OK, stick with me here, though. The rabbit hole goes deeper than the idea that people are amazed at Donkey Kong\u2019s butt in <em>Bananza<\/em>, as impressive as it is. I\u2019m here to point out that, if you look back on previous iterations of Donkey Kong across the years, you\u2019ll notice that his rock-hard posterior has been an ongoing <em>thing. <\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Folks noticed it during the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/24097038\/super-mario-bros-movie-2-2026-nintendo-illumination\">Super Mario movie<\/a>, as unfortunate as it is to associate this idea with Seth Rogen. It remains to be seen if Nintendo will pursue a similar design in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/entertainment\/612877\/donkey-kong-movie-nintendo-universal\">apparent future Donkey Kong movie<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/bananza-is-nintendos-latest-attempt-to-show-you-donkey-kongs-caked-up-butt-1.jpg\" alt=\"Donkey Kong in the Super Mario movie pummels the plumber with his fists. \" title=\"Donkey Kong in the Super Mario movie pummels the plumber with his fists. \" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Movie Clips\/YouTube\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Years ago, Nintendo released <em>this <\/em>as an official screenshot for Super Smash Bros.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-reddit wp-block-embed-reddit\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"iframely-embed\">\n<div class=\"iframely-responsive\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/smashbros\/comments\/2k9a8h\/tfw_this_is_an_official_screenshot\/\" data-iframely-url=\"https:\/\/cdn.iframe.ly\/api\/iframe?maxheight=750&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.reddit.com%2Fr%2Fsmashbros%2Fcomments%2F2k9a8h%2Ftfw_this_is_an_official_screenshot%2F&#038;key=ff2ced3d1b51f7e6c5a2c62b5be4eb3d\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Here\u2019s a screengrab from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0149447\/\">the official trailer<\/a> for the 1997 Donkey Kong Country TV show:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/bananza-is-nintendos-latest-attempt-to-show-you-donkey-kongs-caked-up-butt-2.jpg\" alt=\"Donkey Kong in his animated show back in the 90s, as his butt faces the camera.\" title=\"Donkey Kong in his animated show back in the 90s, as his butt faces the camera.\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: IMDB\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Nintendo has used Donkey Kong\u2019s ass as marketing on more than one occasion, as evidenced by depictions from the \u201890s.

I\u2019m just going to point out that Donkey Kong was created by Shigeru Miyamoto, a known stickler for details who said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/why-nintendo-redesigned-donkey-kong-according-to-shigeru-miyamoto\">earlier this year that he takes an \u201cactive role\u201d<\/a> in character creation for the series, including Donkey Kong\u2019s most recent redesign. I\u2019m not saying Miyamoto has been running a long-going psyop involving Donkey Kong\u2019s butt, that would be absurd. But I\u2019m not <em>not<\/em> saying it. <\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Speaking seriously though, there\u2019s actually a good reason why Donkey Kong\u2019s heinie might be so prominent in <em>Bananza. <\/em>The gorilla spends much of the game busting down the environment with his bare hands, and the game makes a big deal over how strong DK is. The same was true in the Mario movie, where DK spends most of his screen time bashing Mario\u2019s mustache in. <\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">I\u2019ve been a boxer for nearly a decade. One thing you learn during the sport is that most of your power comes from your legs, and by extension, your butt. Perhaps Donkey Kong\u2019s ass is always hanging out like that because Nintendo cares deeply about his lore and they\u2019re <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/awards\/613358\/donkey-kong-bananza-goty-contender\">gunning for 2025 game of the year.<\/a> <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/nintendo-switch-2\/613673\/donkey-kong-bananza-butt-history-switch-2\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>He\u2019s the leader of the bunch; you know him well.
