I never gave much thought to Cranky Kong using a Bass, that’s an extremely sly reference.
Great video, Hyle!

[@Metalizationer]

Loved this, Hyle! The Kongtent I crave 👏

[@DaNintendude]

P-Wing, Stanley's Greenhouse remnants, and the SMB3 tank are my favorite references. I was so pumped when someone finally ripped the P-Wing texture earlier this(?) year.
Had no clue about the potential Cranky bass guitar reference. That's crazy if intentional

[@BullCraftMaxx]

Love the videos Hyle!!

[@Anthrit]

Needs more of Hyle's sexy voice during the video.

[@Harper_Onions]

I swear there's another K.rool reference in one of the Donkey Kong Island in the form of a hazzard of you must swim through, with the spikes forming his "Teeth"

[@jimdotbeep]

That portal thing is a reach.

So are the supposed "connections" to other games (especially those outside of DK like Metroid and Smash Bros.). These are just cute Easter eggs with no literal, deep connection.
