In order for this to work, it must at least attempt to look like the 1980 classic.

Yeah... and why is mario a Monkey/Ape?

Chish: You stole my message ... including all the punctuation! SmashFan2005: Mario is a sergeant or werejackal in human form.

Or maybe a WereSergeant.
#6	Sorceror	Wed, 30 Dec 2009 03:04:58
WerePlumber?

Luigi is a green-elf?
#8	Sorceror	Wed, 30 Dec 2009 21:12:55
I don't think Luigi appeared in the original Donkey Kong.

I had thought about setting it up to look like the arcade game, but I didn't think it would look good. I thought a transition into the Nethack style would look better. Alas, I wish I had went with my first thought. Last edited: Fri, 19 Feb 2010 05:37:57

Oy, stop stealing my comments! Anyway, that objection got fixed in the future.

Perhaps a footnote of, "Why Donkey Kong and Nethack don't mix" would work better for this? Maybe? Hrmm
