It’s been a long, hot summer, but we’re back just in time for Christmas in July! We’ve been playing the heck out of Nintendo’s new Donkey Kong Bananza game, so we thought we’d take a look at the Christmas episode of the Donkey Kong Country TV series!
“The Kongo Bongo Festival of Lights” has everything you could want out of a holiday-themed cartoon episode: A holiday-themed light display, a wacky O. Henry-esque gift-giving mishap, two warring factions coming together in the name of peace, and even a festive song or two!
So yes, we’re talking all about Donkey Kong this episode. The first half of this episode covers the Donkey Kong TV show (and also Avatar: The Way of Water, for some reason). The second half is when we pull the ripcord and just gush about Donkey Kong Bananza. Strap yourselves in, kiddos!
