might have a bit of a confusing canon with Pauline being so 🎶young, but Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong at least give us an♋ idea of the game's timeline.

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:When Donkey Kong Bananza was first re꧂vealed, it was easy to assume that it took place after all of the Donkey Kong games. That changed very quickly after it was confirmed that Oddrock was ac♌tually a younger Pauline, adding a ton of confusion about where in the D𒐪onkey Kong timeline Bananza ta🐲kes place.

Donkey Kong Bananza Review 🌠- Pretty A-Peeli💯ng

Donkey Kong Bananza doesn't do much wrong, but there's a safety that holds it back from its fuไll potential.

Pauline's inclusion in Bananza has made t💎hings very confusing, as it suggested that Bananza somehow takes place before the original Do🅘nkey Kong where Pauline was introduced. While it's almost definitely a tim🃏e displacement thing that's not to be worried about, we do at least know for sure that Bananza isn't a prequel.

Diddy and Dixie confirm that Bananza takes place after all the Country games

At least we can all stop saying it's a prequel

Diddy Kong referencing DKC in Donkey Kong Bananza.

While that might have been 🧔obvious from the g🌳et-go considering Cranky, Diddy, and Dixie are all in the game, we finally have confirmation that Bananza is at least set after the Country games. When you first meet Didไdy and Dixie at their Stampedeway shop, the pair introduces themselves to Pauline.

Diddy Kong says that he and DK are "best friends" and that they've been on many adventures together. That's about as clear-cut a reference to as you can get, but it goes ev💙en further when Dixie Kong introduces herself by referencing the events of Donkey Kong Country 2.

Dixie says that she's "been on a few adventures too", before directly calling out "one time when Diddy and I teamed up to rescue DK", which is of course a nod to 🎃Country 2. This all confirms once and for all that Bananza isn't a prequel to the Donkey Kong games or some kind of timeline 🌜reboot, as the pair are clearly aware of their past adventures.

Diddy and Dixie even📖 🤪reference Candy Kong in their conversation, which is a very nice easter egg.

While that still leaves a lot of questions about how a younger Pauline has found herself in the past (if it's even the same Pauline we know), we do at least know that Bananza takes place after the Country games. That might not seem like a big revelation, but af𝓀ter all the debates about Bananza's canon, it's a pretty big deal.
