Hi there! If you’re joining us now, the month of march is gonna be all about platforming games – 2D, 3D, maybe even 2.5D.

Hailing back to the dawn of the very “platforming” concept, Donkey Kong was eventually allowed to headline his very own platforming franchise. Making a splash on the SNES, DK has subsequently provided us with a slew of puzzle and rhythm games, a beloved kart racer, critically acclaimed followups on modern hardware, and one very memorable rap song.

So todays prompt is simply: What is your best and worst of the Donkey Kong franchise? Do you even like it at all? What does it do best/worst?

Bonus: what would you like to see the franchise do next?

Extra Bonus: What element from Donkey could other franchises learn from?

Extra Bonus Deluxe: Who’s the best Kong besides Dixie Kong who’s objectively superior in every way?

Extra Bonus Triple Deluxe: best/worst spinoffs
