There's a lot of space between those two pipes to fit so many consoles or arcade machines.
But not enough room to store the money to by those consoles
I think he plays fast and loose with the space he has tbh
That's probably the real reason he stays between those two pipes, because he had unlimited space for all his arcade machines, all of his different handheld consoles, and all the different games to go with it that he can play as much as he wants.
Or female goombas
I like to think he trades in his games for new ones when Mario shows up!
Every time the pie stage is included the world rejoices
and they make a limited download of the nes version on 3ds where they added the pie factory stage back in. you can not tell what way the conveyors are moving but the ladders do move
unless their poison pies
@Brian Weiletz now i want pie
I know a guy who hates the number 69
I WILL NOT ruin the 666.
Only the 666 with 6 replies :)
Fun fact: It was Coleco who got the license to develop Donkey Kong for home consoles pre-NES; they deliberately made the Atari and Intellivision ports look terrible so their Colecovision would stand out.
Big brain move ngl.
😮
The atari version was still better because I didn't have to use that Asinine with a capital "A" number pad.
I came back here to post that.
Was it? I hear about that story but I never see any evidence that that was the case.
Pretty sure if you set Garfield on fire he'd just chalk it up to Mondays.
kudos to watching till the very end

Next time, do a cosplay as Pauline.
It’s sort of weird to think about a time when Nintendo actually licensed their games to other consoles.
looking at the apple 2 you wonder why they stopped doing it
Yeah. I don't see its too weird.
@@lilybelden9405 probably had more to do with the CD-i
@@lilybelden9405 But they didn't? Unless you don't count mobile games as actual games, which is understandable.
@@bsharpmajorscale Up until the mobile games, Nintendo kept their IPs exclusive to their own consoles ever since the failure that was the Phillips CD-i.
There's actually a version of the NES port for the 3DS that includes the pie factory stage. I think that counts as a different version.
he said no direct ports but cool
@@jadsi But that's the thing. It's not a direct port, they actually added a new stage. It's much less of a direct port than the GBA version, for example.
@@Krisipoke oh
Yeah, it was called Donkey Kong: Original Edition! It got a limited release under two circumstances: pre-installed on a certain kind of Wii to celebrate a Mario-related anniversary, and as a Club Nintendo reward for registering a digital copy of certain 3DS titles for America, if not the rest of the world.
It didn’t just add the pie factory (which I heard is actually supposed to be cement), it also added missing animations, namely DK carrying away Pauline when Mario reached the top.
It’s sad it got such a limited release, it deserves to be more commonly available.
@@Sparkster2600 that version is actually still available in europe which is very nice
*Waits 2 months for a Lonelygoomba video*
Lonelygoomba: *Uploads a 30+ minute video*
Me: *Grabs popcorn*
In honor of this videos topic, you should probably grab a pie instead.
24:13
I was not expecting this relationship between Kong and Doom.
*Pinky Kong is freaking terrifying and that 8-bit Doom music was great.*
this is due to the color scheme back then
Guys Nintendo made a new Kong his name is DOOM kong
the vic20 version is actually very impressive for the computer it is running on, the fact is the vic20 only has a text mode, so the whole game is running with text characters and nothing else
There was that modiefied NES version with the Pie level once released, called Donkey Kong: Original Edition. To my knowledge, it was only released for the special red Wii and 3DS Virtual Console, maybe also for Wii U VC but i'm not 100% sure about that.
I’m going to check if it is on the wii u version
I have it on Wii and 3DS Virtual Console. It's excellent
I’m back and it is a.no there is no pie level in donkey Kong on the vc wii u
"It's on like Donkey Kong!"

Nintendo on DK 40th anniversary: ...
ya they dint see the money that could be made becuse of that ape
Rare makes the games? I don't? Get the problem? Rare is working oj metroid, they clearly can't make a donkey kong game at the moment
@@Mqstodon are you from the past?
@@Mqstodon Nintendo made Donkey Kong 1, Jr, and 3 before licensing the brand out Rare, their (at the time) second party dev. They did the series all the way up until 64, when they were bought by Microsoft. The series was bounced around for spin-offs for a while, before being given to Retro, who made Returns and Tropical Freeze. Neither Rare nor Retro actually OWNS Donkey Kong, they just made the games. Yes, Retro is working on Prime 4 currently, but Nintendo still owns the series. Even if they hadn’t wanted to license the IP out to some other dev again for whatever reason, they could have at least done something. A package of all the DK related material on the Eshop? Any sort of celebration would be appreciated, but it’s been four months into the 40th Anniversary so far.
Imagine if Mr. Goomba actually streamed 😮
Vtuber goomba
@@pizzatime1901 Voomba.
Who's Ms. Goomba?
@@EpikBirb who do you think we are talking about here
@@pizzatime1901 Oh no-
I've always imagined the standard Goombas talking in a rude and funny way, but this voice of a experienced man sounds perfect, somehow.
Gonna be honest, I didn't even know the pie stage existed until now.
I played Donkey Kong '94 religiously on both 3DS and an Emulator Website. So I knew about the Pie Stage.
Me either
I only knew due to the fact it was in DK64
me too
This Goomba hasn’t changed a SINGLE bit and I’m glad
Oh yes he has. He used to sound so depressed
@@nostalgiaontheairmichaelch9932
Eh a little
I dunno, this is the first video I've watched of him in years and he seems much less grumpy and critical than he used to be.
@@davisbowe8668 exactly my point. I said he USED to sound more depressed
@@asrieldreemurr8059 other than his look, yeah, he has changed.
If you want a real challenge, rank all of the Donkey Kong bootlegs.
I thought about it tbh.
where do you even begin?
@@TheLonelyGoomba can't wait until you play Donkey Kong Country or F-Zero. It is DK's month this April, anyway.
I made a really bad one called Large Monkey if anyone wants it
@@CelixFat i imagine you start with crazy kong, thats a good place as any
Donkey Kong: **Exists**
Any game producer in the 80s: It's free real estate.
Donkey Kong be lookin more depressed than the Atari 800 port in the Commodore 64 port
Just a bit of trivia but the Pie level is actually a Cement Factory! Which
makes a little more sense given the construction angle of the old DK game. But those cement blobs sure look like pies. Why is the pie level (Cement Factory) missing on some of the home ports? It's all about a coding or licencing issue from Ikegami Tsushinki the one who program the arcade game. After the release of Donkey Kong Jr., the arcade successor to Donkey Kong, Ikegami sued Nintendo for the unauthorized duplication of the Donkey Kong program code. Nintendo managed to settle the dispute out of court after the two companies came to an agreement. At the time of the suit, computer programs were not considered copyrightable material. The Tokyo High Court gave a verdict in 1989 that acknowledged the originality of program code. Ikegami and Nintendo reached a settlement the following year; the terms of it were never disclosed.
cool
And The "pies" Are Sand Piles
Yeah
My first LonelyGoomba video after being recommended for so long. I gotta say- love the proactive avatar, isn't too static and predictable like most animators but not artificial like VTubers.
I thought this was the real engineer gaming

LG: I like pie. What’s wrong with pie?
TH-cam ad: Did somebody say “Domino’s Piece of the Pie App?”
It's frankly amazing how Nintendo made great LCD games on the Game & Watches, when companies like Tiger and whoever made the McDonald's happy meal LCD games made shit like THE WRIST GAAAAME
22:24 The virgin Jumpman vs the chad Donkey Kong
More like

Handhelds like that Coleco Tabletop and Tiger games honestly remind me of how the Game and Watch games had class and knew how to actually make something fun and creative with probably the strictest limitations you could ever give a game.

This is a better 40th anniversary gift to DK than what Nintendo's put out so far.
I really liked this video. Ever since i saw you were playing the DK ports, I knew this video was in the works. It was defiantly worth it!
You're taking a risk, and I really appreciate it. Defiantly felt the effort that went into this video. This is exactly the content I like to see.
You know, the fact that he’s able to access all of these likely means he’s no longer stuck between the two pipes.
He’s stated before that someone is flushing games down the toilet, causing the games to come out of the pipes. How they’re fitting an arcade cabinet down the toilet is less certain
This man has been stuck in one place for almost a decade and still is alive...
Legend
I swear, lonely goomba is going to be a donkey Kong focused channel
This is the equivalent of caddy playing the first 10 megaman classic games.
I enjoyed that video
I was just thinking that

@@kingkirby1394 holy crap, EVERY episode!? I couldn't do that!
Except he doesn't get all hope slowly drained from soul
Usually I don't agree with what you're saying about video games but I have to admit that you're absolutely right about every version of Donkey kong especially the worst of them with the pink demon Donkey kong.
Chilling with Goomba right before an ad hits. Why do I wish all youtubers should do that.
Soooo....
Every single version of Donkey Kong Jr. next?
nah, mario bros
I absolutely love donkey kong. Not just as a character but as a franchise. The originals, Country, even 64 are great to me. I've wanted somebody to talk DK for a while, and I don't see Nitrorad or Johnny vs. sayin' anything.
Thanks, goomba for givin' a fan like me something to smile about today. :)
We Love him too
Two things I was kinda expecting you to include were a quick blurb about the Atari 2600 version's sound effects, and also the upgrade of the NES version that released in 2010 on the Wii Virtual Console, entitled "Donkey Kong: Original Edition", which notably includes 50m (the pie stage).
Donkey Kong in the Apple 2 version looks like he's wearing bondage gear lol
That moment when Goomba has basically become the world expert on original donkey kong basically by default, hah
I saw this and I’m literally playing donkey Kong country 2 right now as I’m listening to this goomba and I said to myself how appropriate
14:26: Seems logical. This version was released on the same year as Saturday Supercade, where our first glimpse of Mario's modern color scheme was presented.
"Wait a minute. Demon? Pink? Hell? Pinky? Doom?? Doom was launched on the MS-DOS?! IT'S ALL CONNECTED!!!" XD
I love how Donkey Kong in the thumbnail is like, "You're mine, too, little man."
Me and Alison: saves goomba
Goomba : thanks mr and ms homunculos Thingies
I loved the dedication for this video
Remember when the Lonely Goomba didn't talk about Donkey Kong all the time? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Thing about the AtariSoft C64 port, it was meant for NTSC (so with the other AtariSoft ports, and the Atari 8-bit versions of many games). So they will be unbearably-slow on a PAL system.
Also, over in your part in the world, the Wii VC got both official romhacks. DK got the pie factory and I believe the intro animation. Also Mario Bros. got an EU VC version that even includes the introductions for all the enemies.
I knew this day we encounter the "other" versions.
I think the real reason we haven't gotten any actual new Donkey Kong games lately is because Nintendo's been busy trying to figure out how to live up to the glory of the Pie Stage
This was hella awesome! I've actually been playing a lot of Donkey Kong games lately in my spare time because of you Goomba, even found a never been used cartridge + box for the Game Boy DK game the other day at my local game shop! Last week I actually did a comparison lets play of the arcade and NES versions, and it is nowhere near as awesome as this review of 20 versions/ports of this great game! This video gets a 10/10 in my book!
I just barely started, but the Donkey Kong 64 version has so many strange quirks I would consider counting it. It's like the arcade version squashed into the NES versions size and then you got weird things like the barrels in 25m rebounding way harder when they roll off girders
The conveyor belts change direction when DK hits the left side of the screen. In the GB game they added an animation of him hitting a lever to turn it back
There's actually a later NES version of Donkey Kong that adds the missing Pie Stage! (It's cement by the way). It's Donkey Kong: Original Edition, and it's basically the same as the first NES version but with the missing stage added as well as some animations restored. It didn't actually release on the NES though, it was instead made years later as a Virtual Console game for the Wii, but only released on special Wiis in Europe, and then later as a limited-time thing on the 3DS. It is an actual normal NES rom though, and an NTSC rom at that despite its Europe release (meaning it was running at a slower speed than it's supposed to on VC in order to match PAL, but playing the rom itself on a normal emulator runs it at full speed), so it really is the definitive version of NES Donkey Kong.
Actually, there's another version. Donkey Kong "special edition", released on the red Wii for Mario's 25th anniversary. The game is the NES version, but includes the pie factory. Since it is a NES rom, it can be extracted and played on a real console.
@@fiftyskoopaklub2982 nope, but it is still the most faithful port, so it gets a point
Bold of you to assume we would think you were doing a hands reveal when we know you are a Goomba with no hands.
I think Goomba put more time into Donkey Kong Arcade than anyone else on the planet.
Not bad for someone stuck between 2 Pipes.
Lonely goomba is too underrated
This just might be your lengthiest vid yet .
It really is.
Awesome video, I had no idea Donkey Kong got so many ports. BTW I can't believe no one has pointed this out but, you know how DK has an idle animation in most of these where he beats his chest (or flexing in the MSDOS version)? Well check out his idle in the ZX Spectrum and MSX versions, that's gotta be painful!
This was a really fun video. I did indeed learn about a lot of Donkey Kong games that I didn't know existed. Heck, I'd say I didn't know about the majority of versions. Really interesting to see that there were some pretty good ports later on.
I wish Nintendo would remake the game someday, with better controls, updated graphics, and maybe even some new levels. It's such a classic game that you'd assume they would treat it better than just porting the NES version occasionally.
I really liked the music choice throughout the video too. I've been having a lot of DK Jungle Climber nostalgia due to your King of Swing tweets, and I also heard a lot of King of Swing music for the first time in the longplay I watched the other day. So it feels strangely relevant to me to hear those throughout the video.
I admire your dedication for playing through all of these games. I don't know if I would have the patience to even try to get better at some of the worst ones.
Donkey kong on gameboy
I loved this. Keep it up Goomba!
There was actually a decent bootleg port called Donkey King that was coded in 2 weeks and the programmer said it was crap but it's universally praised. It played well on a computer that freezes every time it plays audio.
Decided to come back for nostalgia and gotta say this channel has greatly improved

THE PIE IS A LIE!

“The cake’s a fake.”
Not sure if it counts, but Nintendo released a version called Donkey Kong Original Edition to select Club Nintendo members on the 3DS a couple of years ago. I'm pretty sure it's just the NES version with the pie level added, but it's a neat momento that I thought was worth a mention.
Yooo this is that video that's been in the works for months! Excited to watch
I love this change of style! I really hope this gets tons of views!
This made me wanna play Donkey Kong
I really liked this video! I'm sure it took a lot of time and research, but I think it payed off. Honestly, I never really played any version of Donkey Kong, but this makes me want to^^
So many Donkey Kongs, so little time. Never knew there were this many versions of it. Great work on the video!
Things Nintendo fans want most:
Mother 3 and that elusive Pie Stage
Finally, I am not on the Patreon screen 2 times anymore! XD I feared I'd be there 3 times last time I changed my name! XD
Yeah I went through the list again. It's hard to keep up cos people keep changing their names and stuff. Can take ages doing that end screen lol
@@TheLonelyGoomba Omfg, this is the first time you've answered me! :O I just remember my married name still being on that screen long after my divorce, so that was a bit weird! XD

This video is some of your very best content yet! It is highly entertaining and informative!

Good Job on reaching your milestone for this video of 100k! It's great to see a creator reap the rewards of their effort
The man, the myth, the legend is back and with a 32 minute video. Youve truly blessed us
For donkey kong; truly an inspirational speech.
I remember a Guru Larry video saying that the Atari 2600 and Intellivision versions were made worse in puropse by Coleco to make the Colecovision version look as good as possible
Yep that's 100% true, there are fan remakes for the Intellivision, Atari 2600, and C64, with much better music, and visuals for each system. Adrian from Adrian's Digital Basement is quit fond of the C64 remake called Donkey Kong Arcades as it does have a crazy good SID tune intro, and he calls it a DK Dance Party lol!!
Dont know the last time i watched you but its good to see that the channels still running
Goomba is one of the most lit characters i just never realized it till late like when I used him in super mario party. Sorry never liked baseball too much but sluggers looked good, didn't have it though i had strikers
You actually did miss one version!
The Modern version of Donkey Kong in Game & Watch Gallery 2! It's essentially an expanded version of the original Game & Watch version, with music and more levels. Really fun!
also missed, i think, the wii or the wii u NES rerelease of DK that readded the pie stage
Don’t you mean “G&W Gallery”?
Am I the only one that didn't even knew the pie stage existed at all?
No man
I absolutely loved this video! Your Donkey Kong videos got me subscribing to your channel. To my belt, I only played the Game Boy Port (the best version although it is more of a remake), the NES Port, the Game & Watch version (through Game & Watch Gallery series), and the Arcade. I do remember that LCD watch; I think it was one of those Corn Flakes promotions. I actually didn't know until watching your video that the Japanese Arcade original plays the levels in order. How on earth did the North American version scramble it up?
Your video had me smiling straight through, since Donkey Kong is my favorite Nintendo IP (if I have to take Mario and Pokémon out of the equation). Keep up the good work!
P.S. I love your playlists, do you leave a list of the songs anywhere?
You make great quality content, I wish more people would watch, you work really hard, keep up the good work LonelyGoomba!
I’ve never seen a goomba go mad! 37 MINUTES!?!
I looked up Donkey Kong DOS, and it does technically have the Pie Level.
I wonder how many of these versions implemented the ability to (sometimes) control barrels and proper fireball behavior (they should only go down ladders if Mario is below their vertical coordinates). Details like these are what makes the arcade version particularly fun to play over and over again. Even the NES version missed this.
Good grief, the TI 99/4A. That was my family's computer. We never had Donkey Kong, though.
you forgot the Nintendo 3DS version of the NES Port.
(The only difference I can tell is that they added the Pie Stage)
What has more ports? Tetris or Donkey Kong?
I gotta be honest I thought I grew out of this channel, but I think this is know one of my favorite videos now! (Previous was those ask goomba vids) I think this could really work for the channel!!!
I don't know how old this video is... they used to tell you this stuff at the top of the page, but now they don't! But it's worth mentioning that people have recently programmed new versions of Donkey Kong for the 2600, ColecoVision, and Intellivision. All of these are a big step up from the originals.
I would argue that the VIC-20 version deserves to be graded with a handicap. The system was designed in 1979! The graphics are indeed crude, but it's amazing that it's as complete and as colorful as it is. Scoring works as it does in the arcade game, and the hammer doesn't give you total invincibility as it does on the ColecoVision port... getting struck in the back with a barrel will kill you, hammer or not.
honestly, that donkey kong thumbnail isn't cursed
