It's not Mario, since Donkey Kong Bananza more or less confirmed that it's not Mario, all because Pauline is the same age as Mario. It's also not Jumpman, since he looks nothing like Jumpman.
it's mario
Why is Link such a shitter?
>>719441319But Donkey Kong Country 2 (as well all of the other Donkey Kong Country games) happened long before Bananza. K. Rool was last seen before Bananza playing baseball and playing with pegs (and that was after he wanted to blow up DK Island with a convoluted scheme when he could have had it happen if he kidnapped DK again). So it can't be Mario, since he was either a kid or wasn't born yet.>>719441424He can't jump. This is clearly the Link from Link to the Past/Link's Awakening, so no Zelda 2 Link here.
>>719441285So Mario, Link and Yoshi just stand there all day long for Cranky? What for?
>>719442465They are the extra lives waiting to be used.
>>719441285Why did Cranky invite Mario?
I have Bananza theorycrafting fatigue.
>>719441285>Yoshi is a better hero than Link
>Boogerman in the trash
>>719446084That's Sonic and Earthworm Jim.
>>719441571>He can't jumpHe could. Even if you cut out Zelda 2 his design is based on his Link's Awakening version which is the first top-down game with Roc's Feather
>>719445384Yoshi is better at platforming than Link, yes. How the fuck do people not get the joke?
>>719446137look at the trash can, there's something green hanging there
>>719441285It was Mr. Pipe
>>719441285>DK '81 (Cranky) is 2 gens removed from DK present>Lady is 2 gens from Pauline>Jumpman is 2 gens from MarioIt is clearly the Mario gen between Jumpman and Mario
>>719441285>bro this three decade old game has been retconned because of super serious Donkey Kong Bananza loreIs this just an autism thread?
>>719441571You're assuming the Pauline in Bananza is the same as the one in Odyssey. Bananza however heavily implies this isn't the case and the grandma she constantly talks about is most likely adult Pauline.
