The hype is pretty high for Godzilla Vs. Kong after the release of the first trailer of the film and a Nintendo fan took the opportunity to reimagine the upcoming battle with a pair of company characters. The @ TinaFate1 artist on Twitter shared an amazing match between another dinosaur and a monkey: Bowser and Donkey Kong! The characters seem to fit quite well for the two monsters, although it seems that their conflict will cause a little less destruction than the battle between Kong and Godzilla. That’s because, rather than a city, the background of this titanic battle is the battlefield stage in the Super Smash Bros. franchise.

The decision to use Donkey Kong in this role is very appropriate, given the history between the two characters. King Kong films had a major influence on the development of the original by Shigeru Miyamoto Donkey Kong arcade game. The game was a significant success, prompting MCA Universal to file a lawsuit against Nintendo in 1984. However, Nintendo was able to successfully prove that the King Kong character actually existed in the public domain, and the company won the lawsuit. as a result.
Since then, Donkey Kong has deviated quite a bit from its King Kong-inspired roots, while remaining one of Nintendo’s greatest characters. Despite becoming Mario’s rival, the character eventually became a full-fledged hero, starring in the popular Donkey Kong Country series. Of course, Bowser took on the role of Mario’s biggest enemy with the launch Super Mario brothers. in 1985. Ironically, Bowser’s next role will see the character grow to the size of Kaiju Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Rage. In this game, players will be able to take part in a massive battle between Bowser and a giant version of Mario. Unfortunately, there is no Donkey Kong on the site!
With Godzilla Vs. Kong released in just a few short months, it’s not hard to imagine that the film will inspire a number of additional works of art, such as the one made by @ TinaFate1!
