Sterling Jarvis was the one who did the singing for DK in the show, NOT Richard Yearwood who only did the voice. There was an actual interview with the singer on the official YTP forum before it closed down.
Beautiful video! I too identify Donkey Kong as my all time favorite video game hero. He's Bigger, Faster, and Stronger too, he's the first member of the DK Crew. Stoked for his theme park and can't wait to see what sort of game is next for him and his family.
I've never really cared much for Donkey Kong, but I've gotta say that the effort and enthusiasm you put in this video has definitely given me a new appreciation for the big guy. Also, I know it was an offhand mention at the start of the video, but I would absolutely love videos about Kain and Raziel.
Incredible video, always enjoy your hero and villains series but this one is my all time, I’m right there with you man, love DK and his games! It’s my favorite game series of all time, love seeing other content creators who dig the Kong… there’s not enough love out there for him! Really hope you do a Villianpedia on K.Rool he’s my all time favorite villain and would love to see it! Great video as always
I knew this was on the way since the Luigi video. I like what you've done with the recent video thumbnails and the channel icon update. Its nice stuff.
I'm surprised there were no mentions of his off brand cameo in Futurama, in addition to Professor Farnsworth's angry proclamation, "Donkey's aren't monkeys!!!!" hehe
Donkey Kong Country is the earilest game I remember playing around in back in the stone age known as my early childhood in the early 90s. So I've been gaming for decades now. I consider my true start of gaming to be the N64 era.
One of the best heroes of all time in video games. I clicked on this video so fast and I can’t tell you how much I love the DK games. Some of the best platformers out there. We need a new DK game so bad. Thank you for the DK episode.
Thanks for this one...DK is my favorite Nintendo character.....but as a side note, that science fair board brought back memories of elementary school science fairs I had long forgotten about lol.
Rumor is that Diddy was supposed to be DK Jr, but Nintendo was reluctant to allow so radical a makeover so they had to make him original. It’s the best explanation for the disappearance of Jr. in my mind BY FAR (Basically just pretend he became Diddy). Few people remember Jr. was one of the original Mario Kart drivers right before he disappeared, and now there’s no place for him, even as Nintendo waffles on whether to stick with the ‘Cranky was the original’ bit.
the donkeykong musical show was fucking cash... my sisters and I, raised to be big nintendo fans by our father, loved DK in all of his North American appearances were renting the movie Donkey Kong and the Crystal Coconut from Family Video weekly. we would sing the songs constantly
DK defined more of my childhood gaming than Mario and it makes me sad that he's overlooked by Nintendo a lot. Thank you for making this video highlighting my favorite ape.
I love this channel thank you for all your videos! its awesome to listen to your analysis on these characters and how you interweve all the little details with humor and story telling!
Hey Ghostcharm, I just wanted to say please don’t stop making videos. You are by far one of the best creators I’ve ever seen in my 12 years on the internet. Ily v much and keep up the good work.
I miss playing DK64 back in the day though I don't think my brothers and I never did get all of the golden banana's. One i do remember we never got was the spiked swirl in the caverns area.
It always blew me away that with the release of K.Rool into Smash they didn't capitalize on it. Even if it was just a DKC:R style game but with the kremlings, it woulda been something. But sadly Nintendo kinda has this bad habit of not doing a thing unless they can do an innovate or mix-up, see also why F-Zero's been in hibernation.
Yo i gotta say as a donkey kong fan since birth i loved this video it was so cool to hear your thoughts on the big ape we all love i even have a huge half sleeve tattoo of good old DK again fantastic video 🦍👑💪🏝👍👍
And chunky. He's dead. HUAH DK 😂😂😂 Oh no, cranky's In the fridge Seriously though, this and banjo kazooie were literally my childhood. Diddy Kong racing came in at a distant 3rd, followed closely by (a complete 480° turn) 007 golden eye. I went a good 8 year or more length of time forgetting about the N64, being all edgy and living for the future never think of the past. But one day my brain said "his coconut guns" and I was like. 🥹 The memories
I usually do not pay attention to this stuff, but as a fellow big Donkey Kong Fan, i find it very sad, that this video as significantly less views than most other videos on this channel ^^°
dk was based on the character god from the bible
monke
People complaining about the wait for Half Life 3 have no idea how long fans have been waiting for The Bible 2 to be released.
Yea. Good fact
lmao
@@drinfernodds Multiple bibles have been released. Old Testament, New Testament, King James, Mormon bible, and many many many more.
thats my boy right there
I did not want to see that
I did want to see that
thicc
Oh lawd he a thiccc boy
Just in time for Donkey Kong December - June Edition
My personal favorite video. However, Luigi is the party star. This is a historical fact. There is photo evidence
idk if this didn’t perform well this slapped
Using your science experiment as an excuse to stay up all night playing video games with your friend is a galaxy brain kid idea
Sterling Jarvis was the one who did the singing for DK in the show, NOT Richard Yearwood who only did the voice. There was an actual interview with the singer on the official YTP forum before it closed down.
Did not know that, shout out to Mr. Jarvis - mans killed it. Thanks for the info buddy
DK music slaps so hard and really helps set the vibe of Kong games
The DKC and SNES bundle shaped my childhood. Your video is a masterpiece! Time for Stickerbush Symphony!
Man... the last part of the video, with that background music, and the points you make... it struck me right in the feels...
Beautiful video! I too identify Donkey Kong as my all time favorite video game hero. He's Bigger, Faster, and Stronger too, he's the first member of the DK Crew.
Stoked for his theme park and can't wait to see what sort of game is next for him and his family.
2:24 "Please Grab Your Banana"
don't worry i already got it in hand ❤
Bro is cranking their kong
"He's the leader of the bunch, you know him well he's finally back to kick some tail!" He's indeed the first member of the DK crew HUh!
I've never really cared much for Donkey Kong, but I've gotta say that the effort and enthusiasm you put in this video has definitely given me a new appreciation for the big guy.
Also, I know it was an offhand mention at the start of the video, but I would absolutely love videos about Kain and Raziel.
this was such a fun video, the anecdote about the science fair project was so cute!
the unadulterated swagger of a kong is unmatched by any nintendo character
I was not expecting for the owner of this channel to out his unethical gaming experiment on his friend. Top tier content.
Fun fact, idk if its mentioned in the video, but that swirl on his head is not his hair, his head is just shaped like that
?? damn he unfortunete
@@akapacoolNot as unfortunate as your spelling and grammar.
Man I love Donkey Kong, the big oaf. Thanks for this video - had a smile on my face the whole time. He'll always be my favorite character in gaming.
using a science project as an excuse to stay up late playing video games with your best friend is absolutely hilarious
Momkey
Momkey 👍
Momkey 😊

Donkey Kong is so cripplingly based, my knees go out at the mere sight of his naked glory
That mod someone made where you can swap characters on the fly for DK64 basically fixes a majority of the issues of the game.
Incredible video, always enjoy your hero and villains series but this one is my all time, I’m right there with you man, love DK and his games! It’s my favorite game series of all time, love seeing other content creators who dig the Kong… there’s not enough love out there for him! Really hope you do a Villianpedia on K.Rool he’s my all time favorite villain and would love to see it! Great video as always
I never thought I needed a DK R&B song...
what to do with this gift?
what to do?
I knew this was on the way since the Luigi video. I like what you've done with the recent video thumbnails and the channel icon update. Its nice stuff.
I'm surprised there were no mentions of his off brand cameo in Futurama, in addition to Professor Farnsworth's angry proclamation, "Donkey's aren't monkeys!!!!" hehe
I thoroughly enjoyed this one
your enthusiasm is contagious, I just love it when I can feel the passion radiating off someone
david wise has been my favorite video game composer for decades!! i still just lay on my bed and listen to diddy kong racing's OST
this is such a great video, learned a lot and DK gets the flowers he deserves. Surprised it didn't do bigger numbers
Oh my goodness! The opening music! It just unlocked some memories from 25 years ago.
Good job on your channel man, its been a joy to see you grow. Please do keep making Heropedias if you enjoy doing it.
hahaha Ghost just going 'if you don't like any part of these games you're wrong' is just sending me, it's so funny
this content chillaf
DK Country games are still some of my all time faves. So much fun and some of the best music ever. Awesome video, Ghost!
Yooo DK Returns was just anounced a few hours ago
Thanks ghost, been a fan of yours since the Dagoth Ur video, and I'm super happy to see you cover my favorite Nintendo character of all time.
Donkey Kong Country is the earilest game I remember playing around in back in the stone age known as my early childhood in the early 90s. So I've been gaming for decades now. I consider my true start of gaming to be the N64 era.

My Dad can do a great Dk impression he's still got it since I first played dk 64 as a 4 year old. Deepening his voice is the trick
Man, Donkey Kong Country on the GBA was literally my childhood. My god, I adore that game.
Thanks for this one...DK is my favorite Nintendo character.....but as a side note, that science fair board brought back memories of elementary school science fairs I had long forgotten about lol.

You brought me down memory lane. I remember the Donkey Kong show!
I love the heropedias. Great combo with the villain ones
I swear jungle japes is one of the catchiest tunes I've ever heard. another great video my man!
the donkeykong musical show was fucking cash... my sisters and I, raised to be big nintendo fans by our father, loved DK in all of his North American appearances were renting the movie Donkey Kong and the Crystal Coconut from Family Video weekly. we would sing the songs constantly
Great video. i agree completely dk64 is a masterpiece that shaped my childhood in the best ways possible.
Crazy how this Channel hasn't found a larger audience
It also helps that David Wise produced some of the best music for DK's games.
That Donkey Kong rap is amazing, I feel so bad that it wasn't part of my childhood lol
RIP Harambe ❤
Gunned down for no reason at all.
@@lucascoval828like so many in America
It's been a minute since a villianpedia, i suggest making a handsome jack episode!
2nd place?! Bro good job! You and your little homie are legends on the playground to this day I'm sure of it.
I love the heropedias keep up the great work and wonderful videos. It’s nice to see positivity or positive characters being talked about.
This video is a Ghostcharm classic, no question about it.
DK defined more of my childhood gaming than Mario and it makes me sad that he's overlooked by Nintendo a lot. Thank you for making this video highlighting my favorite ape.
As soon as you uploaded I went bananas
Man that SNES music just takes me back!
I love this channel thank you for all your videos! its awesome to listen to your analysis on these characters and how you interweve all the little details with humor and story telling!
Nice timing recommending people to find a way to play dk country returns
The DK show is a guilty pleasure of mine. It had some catchy tunes.
Highly recommend Liam Triforce's video on the music of DKC series. Fantastic vid
Epic choice for a character study, super excited
Well done again Ghost. I never even knew those other two DKC games existed!
This is wild stuff. I just started playing Tropical Freeze two days ago.
That surprise guest at the end startled me at first.
nah wait the singing number from the show was INSANELY good. Good find Ghost.
I always figured that if Cranky Kong was the original DK then this current Donkey Kong was Donkey Kong Jr.
Sarah Kerrigan... Would be a good next one.
Lmao that segment about the musical cartoon hit me like tsunami. You definitely had to be there 😂
I was so sad when you didn’t even give Donkey Kong Jungle Beat a passing mention, THATS a DK experience
He's my favorite character as well Ghost. *Wi-Five*
a new donkey kong country game would probably bring about world peace
I love naddpods rendition of dk so much
Hey Ghostcharm, I just wanted to say please don’t stop making videos. You are by far one of the best creators I’ve ever seen in my 12 years on the internet. Ily v much and keep up the good work.
"He's finally here! Preforming for you"
I won’t lie I had to rewatch the intro bc I was groovin too hard to that nostalgic ass music
I enjoyed the video. Keep making content that you like there will always be a sub pocket of fans that will watch.
I’ve never felt more soul-attuned to another person than this man right here gushing over our boy DK and everything he had to say. Cheers, Ghost
DK wears a tie because he means BUSINESS 🦍💪
I miss playing DK64 back in the day though I don't think my brothers and I never did get all of the golden banana's. One i do remember we never got was the spiked swirl in the caverns area.
This video deserves more views
YOU BURNED MY HOUSE TO THE GROUND!!! MY FAMILY IS DEAD!!!!!
WHAT DO I DO?!
Okay I lol’d when you had the Home Improvement grunt while calling DK cool
It always blew me away that with the release of K.Rool into Smash they didn't capitalize on it. Even if it was just a DKC:R style game but with the kremlings, it woulda been something. But sadly Nintendo kinda has this bad habit of not doing a thing unless they can do an innovate or mix-up, see also why F-Zero's been in hibernation.
Another way it could be worse:
You get a character assassination like Metroid: Other M.
For your info I loved the DK cartoon show.
rareware really was one of the absolute greats
Yo i gotta say as a donkey kong fan since birth i loved this video it was so cool to hear your thoughts on the big ape we all love i even have a huge half sleeve tattoo of good old DK again fantastic video 🦍👑💪🏝👍👍
Did you know? Ghostcharm is actually a ghost
Villainpidia idea. Donald duck from kingdom hearts. IYKYK
Donkey Kong isn't a Donkey. I've been lied too.
I met dave wise recently. Super nice guy.
A man after my own heart. Gotta love my main monke
Gotta love that red tie
Dongley Knog.
In Spanish, donkey (burro) is commonly used as a synonim of stupid
Not stubborn?
And chunky. He's dead. HUAH DK
😂😂😂
Oh no, cranky's In the fridge
Seriously though, this and banjo kazooie were literally my childhood. Diddy Kong racing came in at a distant 3rd, followed closely by (a complete 480° turn) 007 golden eye.
