Donkey Kong 64 is the most infamous "Collect-A-Thon" of the entire N64 generation. Released in 1999, this Donkey Kong entry is the first (and last) 3D platformer in the series. And it’s about time we ask the most important question: Why does it exist?
Join me on a journey through time as we discover how far one man will push his mind and body to collect almost 4,000 bananas. Will he survive to prosper? Or reverse evolve into a monkey or something? Maybe a tadpole? Would be pretty cool I guess.
Anyways, enjoy the video!
