Mario and Donkey Kong are like Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck. They're often rivals, but you don't really raise an eye brow if they happen to be getting along
Mario and DK has always been rivals since their debut, but as times passed, they seem to have a good terms with each other. In this case of Mario vs. DK, I guess Cranky Kong must be proud of his grand son for living up his arcade legacy.
Mario: You know what? I feel bad enough, just leave me alone. DK: I never met your dad but he sounds brilliant. Mario: Just go in a corner and smash some stuff, Smash Monkey! DK: HMM! *I'M. MORE. THAN A GUY.* *_WHO SMASHES THINGS!!!_*
DK's characterization in Mario V.S. DK is so weird because I don't think modern DK was really much of a bad guy at all. All of the bad stuff was from Cranky Kong, stealing Pauline. This modern DK is supposed to be the hero that saved Donkey Kong Country, like, 4 times. So, it's just really strange that he would be petty and steal some toys, but I guess like father like grandson, things are just in your blood.
@@fco64 When Nintendo contradicts its original lore, that doesn't invalidate that lore it just means whoever at Nintendo was putting together this promo didn't do their research. It happens more than you think.
Only enemies when Nintendo wants to make a game like this, nowadays. Like, think about it. There was Donkey Kong, And then there was Donkey Kong '94, which was basically the precursor to this game. And the only times they've fought like this since then is whenever Nintendo makes a Mario vs. Donkey Kong game, which was a long gap.
I just wish their competitive rivalry could extend to their game output, there's no reason why the Donkey Kong Country series should be treated as a Mario subseries. For just about every character in Mario's cast, there's an equivalent character in Donkey Kong's supporting cast. Diddy to Luigi, Dixie to Daisy, Candy to Peach, Cranky to Toadsworth, Rambi to Yoshi, etc.
It would be really cool if DLC came out for Mario Vs. Donkey Kong where you could play as DK or the Mini Mario. They could probably even remake Donkey Kong 94’
They uploaded content worth of 2 Nintendo Directs these last two weeks, no wonder a Partner Showcase is all that is left before they announce the Switch 2 next month 😂
I've been thinking Nintendo should do a Splatfest theme in Splatoon 3 to settle who's Mario's best rival; Team Bowser Vs Team Donkey Kong Vs Team Wario 🔫
Y’all should make a new Mario party called Mario party ultimate where it has all the mini games from all the Mario parties and 1-2 maps from each Mario party imo
DK is a nice guy who just wants a nice competition with Mario every now and then, but this game also stand to let us remember, Donkey Kong… is still Donkey Kong.
It's like Don Ramon said in El Chavo Del Ocho,: "a good person should love your enemies". (And before someone say: no, i'm not Mexican, i'm Brazilian, and El Chavo, or Chaves in portuguese, makes a lot of success here in my country).
@NintendoAmerica I'm glad ya shown classic games in this and added classic games to NSO 'I wish the DK NES game had the pie level in it on Nintendo Switch Online'.
I always saw Mario and DK as "friendly rivals." As in, they're very competitive with each other, but they're still friends at the end of the day.
I also throw flaming barrels at my friend's so makes sense
Yeah and in the movie. They had a great battle but where friends in the end
Nah! I see Dk as a bully
In canon they’re the same age. In a way they’re like classmates
My thoughts exactly.
They are like Tom and Jerry, enemies but still at least secretly care for one another
Tom purposefully doesn't catch jerry because he knows if he does they'll both be kicked out
OH YEAHHhHhHhH
Imagne if they made a game where DK and Mario would have to work together like Mario and Wario in 64 DS ?
Mario and Donkey Kong are like Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck. They're often rivals, but you don't really raise an eye brow if they happen to be getting along
Which is funny because their original sources of inspiration were Popeye and Bluto.
Mario often minds his own business.
Meanwhile DK sometimes wakes up and chooses violence.
DK: Peace was never an option.
Mario tripped Yoshi in Super Smash Bros commercial!
@@RetroCheats welp… I did say often to be fair though.
to be fair, it was destiny since the og donkey kong was kept as a pet and poorly treated cuz mario sucks at pet care
Mario and DK has always been rivals since their debut, but as times passed, they seem to have a good terms with each other. In this case of Mario vs. DK, I guess Cranky Kong must be proud of his grand son for living up his arcade legacy.
Yeah and I really like it as it is now
Haven’t seen you in a while.
We forgive donkey kong Jr and 3 lol
Mario: my dad's right, I'm no good. Dk: yeah well..your dad's right!
Mario: You know what? I feel bad enough, just leave me alone.
DK: I never met your dad but he sounds brilliant.
Mario: Just go in a corner and smash some stuff, Smash Monkey!
DK: HMM! *I'M. MORE. THAN A GUY.* *_WHO SMASHES THINGS!!!_*
@@robbiewood1996 Mario: fine, settled in Smash!
DK is like that one impulsive friend, that you have to slap once ore twice
Mario vs dk is really really fun. I think they are rivals but not really enemies and are friends most of the time.
the reason why mario and donkey kong are rivals is becuse mario have more games than dk have
Frenemies!

@@alexanderman31I subscribed to your TH-cam channel
Yeah, Frenemies!!!
In Dashie's eyes, Donkey is the biggest menace to ever grace Nintendo.
A fellow Dashie fan. Awesome.
I say Donkey Kong is like Knuckles. He isn't really a villain but can serve as an antagonist when a strong desire is at hand.
DK's characterization in Mario V.S. DK is so weird because I don't think modern DK was really much of a bad guy at all. All of the bad stuff was from Cranky Kong, stealing Pauline.

dk didnt do anything in DKC3 he was the victim. this game was not made by the same people as rare so interpretation of the character changes
He's king of DK isle and is protecting what's his. He does have many heroic qualities but still isn't too bright and has anger issues
Mario and Donkey Kong are like Sylvester and tweety. They're often rivals,but still at least secretly care for one another.
They are frenemies yet DK is obsessed with toys of Mario's likeness.
I mean, it walks, it talks, it says "mama mia!". No one can resist.
Well Mario does invite DK to go golfing and play tennis why shouldn’t he want a Mario toy

@@animejerk05I subscribed to your TH-cam channel
going by the comments in the shorts promoting this game, i think everyone is obsessed with them
Nintendo’s been real busy marketing Donkey Kong since 2023, I wonder what they’re up to behind the scenes?
To Mario, he was considered a "Smash Monkey!" But Donkey Kong says he's "more than a guy who smashes things!" And that's in the movie.
Sooo, nintendo, are we just gonna ignore that the arcade DK is actually Cranky kong?
They either forgot, or the movie was supposed to be a retcon, despite objectively being a separate continuity.
1981 Donkey Kong was Cranky Kong.
I’ve played BOTH Super Mario 64 and Donkey Kong 64.
And both have just causes.
I have Super Mario 64 for Nintendo 64 on Wii U Virtual Console.
Hey if it's Nintendo posting it then it's cannon that it's dk on the original arcade
@@fco64 When Nintendo contradicts its original lore, that doesn't invalidate that lore it just means whoever at Nintendo was putting together this promo didn't do their research. It happens more than you think.
IMO, friendly rivals like Sonic & Knuckles. They don't always see eye-to-eye, but they aren't real bitter towards each other.
I think Mario and DK were rivals in the beginning, but then as the series went on they became more like friendly-rivals. Love the Remake so far!
Mario and Donkey Kong are friends and foes both of them and sometimes they are rivals. 😊😮
Id be pissed too if he threw that banana at me like that im not even gonna lie
Mario seems to have had some issues with Donkey Kong’s bloodline
In the Mario movie, they were enemies in the beginning, but at the ending they became Frenemies
Donkey Kong is always Mario’s rival in the classic game.
"Friend or foe?" That's the question isn't it?
As Otacon from Metal Gear Solid once said: “They’re still at it”.
Team Donkey 💪💪
C'mon Nintendo, we need a new DK game!
Yes!!! 🐒
Nintendo's advertising for this game is outstanding
I Love ❤️ Mario And Donkey Kong With Friends And Also In The Movie
"Cause we are frenemies, we like disliking one another~"
I love this kind of art style
I never saw them as rivals more like friends who sometimes just have days where they don't get along
Nintendo Switch 2 release on 2026 for on 10 years of Switch!
Epic franchise!
Probably competitors and friendly rivals.
But they got along well in the end.
Nintendo Switch 2 is delayed again on release is on 2026 but in 10 years of Nintendo Switch!
Yep they're definitely Frenimes
We need a new Donkey Kong game. The last one was Tropical Freeze originally for the WiiiU (2014)
We got 3 Nintendo videos about Mario vs. Donkey Kong on launch day!? Fantastic!
Mario and Monkey Kong are friends
DK '94 should have been in the Enemies section.
That's like.... the best game ever where they're foes.
0:25 Messing with the ever complicated DK timeline again, I see. Cranky will have some choice words.
Reminds me of the dynamic between DK and Mario in the Mario movie. That was one of the best parts of the movie. ^^
Mario and DK’s rivalry is similar to Kirby and Dedede’s rivalry. Sometimes they help each other out but sometimes they want to kill each other.
Only enemies when Nintendo wants to make a game like this, nowadays.
Like, think about it. There was Donkey Kong, And then there was Donkey Kong '94, which was basically the precursor to this game. And the only times they've fought like this since then is whenever Nintendo makes a Mario vs. Donkey Kong game, which was a long gap.
Now we need a talented individual to animate Mario and DK singing the frenemies song from Phineas and Ferb
A fun and friendly rivalry! ❤❤
Mario and DK are to Nintendo what Sonic and Knuckles are to Sega.
They're like Sonic and Knuckles.
I preordered it, will arrive within the next days 😊
Ya know From Past Mario Vs. DK Games Such as Minis March Again that’s from my Childhood Was such Frenemies.
Gotta buy them all
frenemies is back with new hosts
I know Mario and D.K. teamed up with each other in The Super Mario Movie, even though their friendship started out rocky.
Frenemies at their absolute finest!
I always thought of them as enemies/rivals. They don’t really like each other but can act ambivalent at times. I never saw them as Friends
Frienemies!
Mario and Donkey Kong Frenemies podcast
Personally I see them a frenemies.
I just wish their competitive rivalry could extend to their game output, there's no reason why the Donkey Kong Country series should be treated as a Mario subseries.
For just about every character in Mario's cast, there's an equivalent character in Donkey Kong's supporting cast.

Good examples.
It would be really cool if DLC came out for Mario Vs. Donkey Kong where you could play as DK or the Mini Mario. They could probably even remake Donkey Kong 94’
Can we acknowledge the fact that the video editors used Mario Kart 64 footage rather than Mario Kart 8 Deluxe footage? Gotta respect the classics!!
I want it, but WAIT, Nintendo games costs a kidney here in Brazil.

@@tsukasatenma7397 He's not lying. Gaming is a very expensive hobby in Brazil. And that applies to Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft.
❤❤ que bonito han avanzado mucho juego play desde niño
They will always make up for their mistakes. It’s going to take them some time to get along.
From enemies to lovers
Would have bought this game if I could play as donkey Kong as well

Coming 2025 apparently. Check Video Games Chronicle. Announcement might not be before September 😢

@@The_Ostrichsounded credible. And Eurogamer corroborated it 🥴

80% of what Eurogamer corroborates never comes to fruition.
They seem to be old rivals, that Donkey Kong is the main antagonist and the main protagonist of the Donkey Kong series.
They are like childish rivals
You got a FRIEND in a ME... 🌟
@Nintendo I Want You To Be Associated With My Sailor Moon MCU Adaptation
i’m gonna ask the comments for this one but should i get mario vs donkey kong i’ve seen gameplay but i’m mixed on it
YO THAT SONG WAS FIRE 🔥🔥
Or you know, maybe they USED to be enemies but became friends overtime.
They are definitely frenemies.
I already preordered it yesterday😊
And now we are going to get a long montage of pure MvDK Nintendo ads. Great. :p
when is the nintendo direct, i been waiting.
Friendly rivals
Nintendo please make donkey Kong more playable in other games :)
Upcoming game they gonna become friends
Good trailer is cine thanks Nintendo
The Last Time Was The Mario Movie In Last Year That i really 'N'-Joyed The Mario Movie So Much in my Opinion!
0:25 Hey that's not even him that's slander
I've seen them in the movie.
Nintendo please add multiversus to switch it would be so fun for me and my bro and for many others
No, they're lovers
They can be both
Nice trailer!!
I was hoping for Mini-Land Mayhem gameplay honestly.
I've been thinking Nintendo should do a Splatfest theme in Splatoon 3 to settle who's Mario's best rival; Team Bowser Vs Team Donkey Kong Vs Team Wario 🔫
Y’all should make a new Mario party called Mario party ultimate where it has all the mini games from all the Mario parties and 1-2 maps from each Mario party imo
It's about time they port injustice 2
