Today is a special day for these silly little topics: it's the 50th one in the series! Wowzers! DK's been slinging it against all kinds of opponents, from fistfighters to mages, gunners to psychics. Bananza gave DK a potent upgrade, allowing him to hang with even tougher foes. His record post-Bananza is 4-5-1. I've been saving Mario for a special day. These two have a lot of history together. How would a fight go without any sort of restrictions on what they're capable of? I wasn't sure what to "give" Mario in the way of powerups, but I figured I'd do what I always do and let you, the highly respectable voters, decide.

_Keeby 11/11/25 4:00:32 PM #3:	On one hand, Mario canonically defeated Donkey Kong in his titular game. On the other hand, this is modern Donkey Kong were talking about, not old Donkey Kong. On the other other hand, Mario has gotten more versatile since his first game with plenty of power ups and whatnot. On the other other other hand, so has DK. I dont know who to give this win to. I think it would be close. Maybe even a draw? <cite>_Keeby posted [p:987011261] in Could Donk...
