It's not too crazy since King Kong is also based on this conspiracy, but Donkey Kong's world exploration is based on an old conspiracy called Hollow Earth or inner-earth realm. The tl;dr of this conspiracy is that within the earth, there are old worlds that still live on today. One of those beliefs states that's where dinosaurs live and giant apes, snakes that are giant, etc. Some worlds have alien robots, nephilim (giants), and fallen angels. It was such a popular theory that some of the greatest science fiction from the early days were based on it, included Journey to the Center of the Earth. Heck, even the Nazis were (supposedly) looking for the entrance in some of their conquests, with some believing the Ayran aliens Himmler and morons like him were looking for were within the earth using the Ahnenerbe group.

Anyway, do you think the collectors edition will come with foil?

Your head is hollow

 

[M.W.]

Hollow earthers are just as retarded as flat earthers.

Weekend isn't far off, hold this sort of shit off until then.

I'd appreciate more threads like these. Love it.

Edit: I just saw the direct, game is looking stupid good.

 

[Codes 208]

My immediate first thought was Godzilla x Donkey Kong

 

[BennyBlanco]

They've been dropping hints for decades but frankly I believe them. The earth is hollow.

 

[justiceiro]

Made in abyss was not what I was expecting from the next dk

Stay off drugs people or you'll end up like OP.

 

[RoboFu]

Just wait until he wakes up in the end and eats a banana.

 

[DreamcastSkies]

Semi-related; I think Hunter x Hunter's current story emphasis on new, unexplored land beyond the border of the known world and kept secret by The Powers That Be feels a bit inspired by alternative earth shape views/thinking.

I never said I believed it, dummy! lol

 

[Hideous Snake]

This is the state of gaf now? My goodness. Mental ward

No it will come with a massive banana that vibrates.

 

[falling into hell]

Why does it even matter? As long as the game is fun to play that's all that matters.

 

[ReBurn]

You may be overthinking this

What if the earth is flat.......and hollow?

Weekend isn't far off, hold this sort of shit off until then.

Tomorrow is a holiday

What if the earth is flat.......and hollow?

But what if God doesn't exists ?

I'm not. This isn't crazy. Lots of media use hollow earth stuff in film because it's good sci-fi if anything. Also given that King Kong is legit one of the most popular hollow earth movies of all time and this game is named after Kong, ya know. Plus the direct shows them doing exactly what I described.

[Kataploom]

Wait wait wait, what if.. .what if global warming is not a lie BUT we've been led to believe it's because of us just so they don't tell us the truth about it being produced in the center of the earth by their mutant dinosaurs and experiments?!

 

[Unknown Soldier]

I miss GigaBowser .

FREE GIGABOWSER YOU COWARDS

They basically watched the American Monsterverse movies and were like yeah this is so cool when Godzilla and King Kong go to the Hollow Earth we should have Donkey Kong do it

The Earth in Journey to the Center of the Earth has island sized pockets with living fossils deep within the planet not a hollow Earth. The entrance to them is briefly opened by tectonic plate movement.

Note I didn't say I believe it but these Kong titles are based on this crap. Less than 100 years ago, people actively did believe it. I can list a few dozen books and elites that even believed it. Some big shot pharma guy in the early 1900s believed it, even claimed he went there and saw magic mushrooms and men. I'll try and edit this with the guys name when I'm not busy.

Again lol I don't believe this. Lots of stuff are based on wild beliefs. You think some guy in a room said ya know what, aliens. Ya know what, giants. Ya know what, robot aliens who also are giants. No, it's based on stuff people believed. I am just calling it out because it's funny and I love wild threads.

Picked the wrong week to take a break from the thc pen.

 

[FoxMcChief]

People care too much. It's a new awesome looking Nintendo game. Don't think too much on why the thing is the way it is.

 

[omegasc]

This has a little Norm Macdonald vibe. I like it. Thanks, DryvBy

I know you're not a nutter…but I wanted to used that gif

Why is everyone thinking he believes this? He didn't say he did lol. He's only mentioning an inspiration for the game or a connection. Didn't know that about King Kong though, makes sense with DK being influenced by it.
