i really love the mario party games that have dk spaces because the purpose of dk spaces is to be the opposite of bowser spaces, a space where something really good may happen but nothing bad will happen, which turns donkey kong himself into this sort of mythical gorilla of great fortune and prosperity who you would really like to meet and who you get really excited for when you do encounter, and when you land on a dk space it’s like “YES, i’m going to meet with donkey kong now and he’s probably going to give me a really nice present, thank you donkey kong, i LOVE donkey kong”, i just really love this interpretation of donkey kong’s character
i like to think this is what encountering bigfoot in real life would be like. it’s REALLY hard to encounter him but if you do he’s gonna play a fun minigame with you and then he’s probably gonna give you a really cool gift and then he’ll leave and it’s literally impossible for anything harmful to happen during this encounter
