Donkey Kong
The Game: Before Mario became Mario he was the creature known as Jump Man. Its funny to think these days that such a lazy name could ever make it into a game. It would be like Master Chief being called Shooting Robot Man or Lara Croft being called Boobie Woman. This being said a game called Boobie Woman Tomb Raider The Last Revelation could prove to be a huge seller. This game was originally intended to be a Popeye game where the famous sailor would try to rescue Olive Oil from Bluto. Maybe he would have thrown massive cans of spinach at popeye and maybe would have got a open can and been able to punch the cans instead of Marios hammer smashing barrels. Luckily this license didnt pan out and we were left with the Mario and Donkey Kong franchises in its place.
What It Says About You: You love to get high scores. You own that movie The King of Kong and you know you could do better. You have a hand stitched Donkey Kong necktie in your wardrobe and you put it on to go out to your friends wedding. Theyre disappointed you wore it, but you are certain that it is the exact kind of conversation starter you need to be the life of the party. One mention of the tie and you can launch into your tales of the twenty three hour session you had where the only reason you didnt keep playing was because you felt mercy towards the great ape of the title.
Soundbite: Isnt it sweet looking back on donkey and Mario before they were all grown up. AWWWW
