RECENTLY, SIR BECAME OBSESSED WITH FIRE EMBLEM ECHOES AND HIT THE FOURTH CHAPTER IN ONE GO.
Forgive me for being an 88-year-old who has never played the Flame Badge before......
So seeing the cliché plot where the fate of the hero and heroine are closely linked, I still fell into it deeply.
Ah, it seems that I won't talk about this game today, so I'd better put it aside for a while about "Fire Emblem".
Although the title is messy, in short, today I want to talk about "Donkey Kong".
But before that, let's take a look at this image. Screenshot of Super Mario Odyssey, which caused a lot of buzz when it was announced in January this year.
Next to the completely cartoonish Uncle Mario, there is an unprecedentedly realistic taxi and cement pipe.
The modern skyscrapers in the background and the 50s New Yorkers are even more eye-catching. The two had somehow produced a wonderful harmony before.
While some players may have shouted "Discord!", SIR felt that Koizumi should not be such a stupid person.
Just in the trailer, another desert scene is obviously much more uniform. From a distance, it looks similar to the town of "Sunshine Mario".
So that urban scene can only be said to be deliberate. But SIR has a bold idea for this.
In fact, maybe this is how Mario's original painting style is......
As Mario's first work, this arcade version of Donkey Kong is this......
Mario appears in the game
with Donkey Kong
These two characters who have been thriving for thirty-six years.
As for this guy......
It's a tragedy.
As can be seen from the poster of the arcade version, Shigeru Miyamoto still referred to the design of some movies "King Kong" at that time. The game tells the story of Donkey Kong who captures the beauty and Mario who wants to rescue her.
Although it doesn't look like a beauty no matter how you look at it...... Hey, this guy sticks out his tongue! Isn't that dead?
Ah, with this style of painting, it should be easier for everyone to make up for it......
Speaking of which, this beauty is named Pauline, and in the game's setting, she is Mario's girlfriend. Donkey Kong was originally Mario's pet, but because Mario has a new love, Pauline, Donkey Kong feels that Mario is no longer playing with him, so he is jealous, so he robs Pauline and escapes to the construction site.
When I was a child, I always thought that Donkey Kong fell in love with Pauline, but I didn't expect it to be a story for gait.
However, you should have noticed......
The original Donkey Kong wasn't as fanciful as the later Super Mario Bros.
Although it's also a bloody story, at least there is no mushroom kingdom, a piranha flower coming out of a water pipe, and so on.
▲rua！
It is also easy to judge that the place of occurrence should be in the city. Otherwise, where would there be so many steel buildings.
Speaking of which, at the beginning of the trailer, there was also a hint of this.
Before Mario appeared, there was a taxi passing by, and if you paused, you would see the words "1981 New Donk City".
1981 is the year of the birth of Donkey Kong, and New Donk City is obviously a parody of New York City, with the Donkey abbreviation of Donkey Kong in the middle.
Dixie Theatre on the left
There is also the Didigang supermarket below
▲ are all characters in "Super Donkey Kong".
Really...... Is this Mario's return to his homeland after 36 years?
You won't see Pauline...... This will be the same as the feeling that the current one will evolve into an Asura field.
▲Who is this woman! I must make it clear today, Mario!
Something like this.
▲ And this?
▲Is this also the same!?
This uncle......
However, it is an exaggeration to say that it is a return to 36 years, in fact, Mario has also returned to the original setting.
Moreover, Mario in the original poster of "Donkey Kong".
It looks like this, too.
In fact, except for the five short figures, the difference with Pauline is not so big.
And there is nothing to see in the picture except for the steel bars.
So do mix-and-match styles like in Super Mario Odyssey really exist?
Yikes...... It's been a long time, but in fact, SIR just wants to play this game with you.
Gameboy版的《大金刚》。
Let's start by looking at the cover
Cartoonized Mario
Pauline in realistic proportions
Totally hit!
Speaking of this Donkey Kong. IT'S ALSO SIR'S FAVORITE GAME TO PLAY WHEN SHE WAS A CHILD.
But when I first started playing, I actually fell into deep despair.
▲No matter how you look at the first level, it's an old-fashioned arcade machine that grandma can't play......
Dad, don't look at the cover and buy Mario indiscriminately!
That's how the heart howls.
After four levels without any fluctuations, I expertly stepped on the steel frame and caused Donkey Kong to fall to the ground.
Ah, this game is a waste, because that's all there is to the arcade Donkey Kong!
That's when I thought about it......
Donkey Kong resurrected!
Alas?
Alas!?
chased all the way to the city......
Isn't this what the Met looks like!
Speaking of which, there is another thing that cares about it......
There is a fence around it, what kind of city is this?
难不成......
...... It's better not to think about it
The actual game is also full of New York flavor.
This is the true form of "Donkey Kong"!
And......
Backflips are also available
You can also do a handstand
Play with a single shot
Throw the trash can (hey, good kids can't learn)
Look, only a bad boy would do this kind of action!
The progression of the base game is in the form of action puzzles.
After getting the key, the door is opened, but the puzzles are not brain-burning, emphasizing action, and it is very refreshing to play.
Anyway, you may have found out......
The game isn't just about cities.
Outside the forest shown in the picture above, there are:
Boat.
pyramid
Airplanes and other colorful stages.
When I was a kid, SIR was stupid and it took a lot of effort to get through a level. A lot of puzzles that are clear at a glance when you grow up can be stuck until the end of time when you are a child.
But at the same time, the joy of seeing a new scene is irreplaceable.
Wait a minute.
The shock facts that I only discovered after becoming an adult:
The ship and the plane are simply not products of the same era
Could it be that the chase between Mario and Donkey Kong has gradually traveled through time and space......
SEEING A LOT OF THE GAMEPLAY MENTIONED BY SIR ABOVE MAY BRING BACK A LOT OF PLAYERS' MEMORIES OF ANOTHER GAME.
It's this GBA's "Mario vs. Donkey Kong".
Naturally, SIR played this game for the first time, and I liked its beautiful graphics. Speaking of the GBA's Mario, it seems that all of them are remakes of previous games, and this one may be surprisingly the best graphics Mario game on the GBA.
But on the other hand, this game removes Pauline and removes it to Rescue Mini Mario Toys. The graphics have also become more like a puzzle game, rather than the original.
It's a pity that SIR just likes the atmosphere with a touch of American nostalgia.
▲ If you have to say it, it's like the feeling of "Blue Rhapsody" in "Fantasia 2000".
For some reason, there are many people who have played "Mario VS Donkey Kong", but this "Donkey Kong" of GB is not much of a concern.
All in all, I recommend everyone to play it.
Speaking of which, how could you write "Donkey Kong" on a whim today......
Because yesterday I accidentally stuffed the card of "Donkey Kong" into the Super Gameboy, and I played it for a long time.
Although Donkey Kong was born without GBC, the game was released with Super Gameboy, an accessory for the SFC console.
SuperGameboy, as the name suggests, is an accessory that can play GB games on SFC.
This peripheral doesn't just add a simple color to the original GB game. And with the release of "Donkey Kong", there is also an official carefully modulated color scheme and theme.
▲ Launched two games, "Exploding Tetris" and "Donkey Kong"
Playing with Super Gameboy, SIR has the feeling of coloring childhood.
Ah, will this kind of wording be regarded as an advertorial......
Play Donkey Kong with Super Gameboy at home
When you go out, pull out the card and insert it into the Gameboy to continue playing. Live the life of a pristine player.
When you get home, plug in the Super Gameboy and enjoy it on the big screen......
……
Switch？
