Everyone is discussing Donkey Kong and the notion of “Donkey Kong lore” lately. Don’t be afraid. You’ve taken your first step into a larger world. Yes, Donkey Kong has a wonderfully rich mythology. Allow us to guide you. First, Diddy Kong Racing and how DK is (still) part of Rare’s shared universe!

What is the connection between Banjo-Kazooie, Donkey Konga 2, and Super Mario Odyssey? It’s obviously a rattlesnake who’s good at bouncing from toxic sludge. Learn how Rattly, mostly ignored by Nintendo fandom at large, is one of the more revered characters in-universe!

What is the root of the historical animosity between King K. Rool’s Kremling Krew and the Kongs? Learn all about the implied backstory of the sprawling Kremlantis civilization of antiquity. Journey above and beneath the waves for the fall of the Kremling empire!

How did the Kongs evolve into the dominant force of what would become Donkey Kong Island... and is the mysterious Tiki Tak Tribe involved? We explore the link between the Kongs and Tiki culture! (Must-watch viewing if you’re visiting Super Nintendo World!)

If Donkey Kong, Banjo & Kazooie, Conker, and other figures all know and acknowledge they're in video games, where does fiction end and reality begin? Break the fourth wall and learn how the entities of Rare and Nintendo operate and exist within the DKU itself!
