A Swing And a Miss? | DK: King of Swing - The Lonely Goomba 

I feel so spoiled with all this frequent s-tier quality content

This feels like another one of those weird and experimental, yet somewhat underrated Nintendo mobile-esque games. Y'know the ones, games like Yoshi Touch and Go, Kirby Tilt and Tumble, Mario Pinball Land, and Pokemon Dash to name a few.

I still remember my times playing the sequel on the DS.

The greatest living Goomba has graced our lives with another video.

it's kind of unsettling seeing all these bananas without any alarm clocks to go with them.

Can't wait until he plays Donkey Kong Jr Math

And this was the last time we saw K. Rool until Smash Ultimate.

You know these Donkey Kong videos are really good keep up the great work feels like a retrospective series.

DK: King of Swing sounds like a Donkey Kong rhythm game about swing music.

The Lonely Goomba doesn't seem too lonely with Donkey Kong by his side recently.

The skeleton fish boss.. Serris? Is that you?

With all the Mega Man references I wouldn't be surprised if that was the next franchise you would be doing. I wouldn't be against it.

Honestly I know it’s probably not gonna happen after Goomba is done with the DK games, but I would love to see him cover at least one of the Shantae games. Keep up the good work, Goomba! :)

"How many people can say they platformed up a tornado?" *Vectorman wants to know your location*

I’ve only played the DS sequel but it’s nice to hear that this game is so good that even Lonely Goomba likes it

I am not comfortable with how much Goombs is enjoying himself.

The Lonely Goomba has given up on life after playing to many crappy games and has reverted back to Monke

1:16 “I’m not gonna risk my life for some stupid medals” Soldiers: and I took that personally.

*Fun Fact:* Candy and Swanky are the only Kongs have yet to be playable in any DK game to date.

This game is incredible, as someone who speedruns this game, it’s so great to see someone talking about the game as it’s so often overlooked as it’s obscure or difficult to control. However the controls in this game are phenomenal, they’re so much fun to play with once you’re used to them, you can do all sorts of crazy shenanigans. So thank you for doing a video on this game, it’s so awesome to me that anyone even remembers this game :)

This really should've just been Clu Clu Land, they really had to include Bubbles

I just noticed his GBA says "Goom Boy" and that is wonderful. I'm not gonna lie, you got me wanting to give this game a try

Rediscovered the channel and we are not even passed 200k? Damn you deserve way more subs

One of the games of my childhood, feels weird to have a homebrewed wii now that can just play it whenever but also great :)

Dammit, Donkey Kong. Everyone knows that the Dire Straights are the Sultans of Swing.

Never heard of this game before

Finally getting back to watching these videos again, and honestly I'm just glad to see nothing has changed for the worse. The animation feels clean for its minimalistic style and still makes sure the static image around whatever is moving still feels like a fitting environment for whatever is being said, as little as that makes sense I'm sure.

With so many mentions of "pegs" is a wonder you didn't tried to sell your Goomba Bobbleheads.

I played this so much as a kid. It was one of my favorite gba games back then

Hey I just wanted to say thank you for still making quality content even after all these years!

Despite never playing the game, when I watched a longplay a few weeks ago, I was surprised at how cool Sassy Squatch looked. Kinda wish he got a successor in Jungle Climber instead of the actual boss successor we got in this game (not K. Rool). There were so many cool ideas in both King of Swing and Jungle Climber, and I really hope we get another game in this series someday. Once again, this was a very nice video dude. I probably should've waited for this to release instead of spending an hour watching the longplay. Got the same amount of info here and it was entertaining to boot.

Dude...I have been subscribed to you for years and I still say that your persona is freaking genius! Continue being the great goomba that you are... despite being stuck between two pipes 😅

I’m so early I can see the children commenting about how they’re first before they’ve even seen the video. Ill be editing this in several minutes with something more meaningful. Okay, I’m back. Nice work! As always, I find the sense of humor in your content to be on-point. King of Swing has always intrigued me, but I still don’t have a GBA, so I haven’t played it yet. I do love the art style though, so it’s first on my list once I do get a GBA. Also, I’m glad you’re covering all this DK stuff, because I really don’t see a whole ton of content being made about the series despite its profound effect on culture and the game industry.

I don’t usually watch your RU-vid videos. I’m a big fan of your twitter account. I never miss your tweets. And today I saw that you tweeted this video and... wow... it was worth it. Such a good video and theme! I’m definitely going to binge watch your videos. Good content! Full support :)

I think this story is just the introduction to the DK Land series. It'd make sense. Good video

*gives goomba a free house to escape the pipes* GOOMBA'S VOICE ACTOR CAN YOU PLEASE ADD THIS INTO THE LORE?

I see that I'm not the only one who noticed the nice graphics, the catchy tunes and the overall "feelgood" ambience of that game. Thanks for this video bringing nostalgic memories, I find King of Swing to be an underrated gem.

I had a plug and play with clu clu land, and I thought it was just some bootleg game Years later I played smash bros and learned it was an actual Nintendo IP or something. Mind blown.

“Those pegs never forget the pegs” - TheLonelyGoomba 2021.

I'm absolutely on-board with the fact that this has become a Donkey Kong channel. Please stay that way.

help, i cant stop watching your stuff. its . just! TOO. INTERESTING!

The only thing that would've made this better, is if we got the Klaptrap between two barrel cannons

It's nice to occasionally come back to a lonely goomba video and see what's going on

Something worth mention in this game and it's sequel: Most classic enemies from DK country 1/2 are back! It's nice to see them after so long!

It actually looks good. Thank you LonelyGoomba for rediscovering it. These were really good experiments of Nintendo, but sadly not a lot of them became popular. I also remember seeing about Mario vs. Donkey Kong series (this one already covered) and GBA version of Mario Party, which is actually for one player

I like the direction you’re going as of late. Even though you’re talking about the same character, it’s nice to see each give you different material and talking points. Good stuff. Although, if this trend of DK handheld games keeps up, that means you’ll have to talk about MvDK: Tipping Stars... which is very not good stuff.

K. Rool in this game reminds me of Dr. Robotnik with his eggmobile looking vehicle.

Man, LG has been getting personal record timing on his uploads

Dang. You've sold me on this game. It's also so cool that Bubbles is in the game! I love when the older Nintendo properties that never really took off get a shout-out in modern titles.

Another quality Donkey Kong video. Lonely Goomba is on a roll!

I miss the Lonely Goomba. I haven't watched this channel in like 7 years. I think you deserve a lot more subscribers than that.

Glad to see your having fun

5:45 Goku v. Pikkon. Escapes a Hyper Tornado then uses Super Kaioken.

I'm legitimately hyped for the Jungle climber episode, can't wait!

Time for my weekly Goomba marathon.

"The whole crew is here!" Chunky and Lanky: Hol up

Any day where a RU-vidr like lonely goomba is reviewing a donkey Kong game, is a fantastic day to me. Thanks, lonely goomba! Genuinely serious when I say I love this kind of content.

Legit super underrated smh

I Love the pixel art style of this game

That burn to the ground joke was hilarious

The Goomba has been on fire lately with these donkey kong videos

Wow, a non Rare DK game that actually acknowledges K Rool’s existence.

New to your channel, subscribed. Good stuff.

wait this goomba is still lonely? get this guy a friend.

I literally marathon you two days ago and new video is up cool

F in the replies for Goomba in the thumbnail

I like that he’s uploading frequently again but I feel like everything is donkey Kong now

It's nice hearing goomba talking about things he likes.

Thanks for doing a full review, every other mention I've seen treats it as an afterthought or footnote. No longer have a GBA but it sounds pretty good. Maybe NSO?

Really loving these thumbnails lol

I'M GLAD YOU TALKED ABOUT THIS GAME, PLEASE TALK ABOUT THE SEQUEL

Starting to think donkey kong is holding the goomba hostage and forcing him to play all his games

i guess Lonely goomba is doing Donkey Kong Marathon

This channel is making me wish goombas actually show up in a future dk game.

I appreciated and chuckled at the MMX7 reference. You ahold review that game too if your sanity can handle it.

I'm not sure if a game like this one is my cp of tea, but I love the sprite work in it!

I remember picking up this game used in a gas station in Germany. A worthwhile investment, I'll say! Thank you for this blast from my childhood!

Eee I can't wait for the next episode. I loved that game when I was younger

the Donkey kong theme in a Major key is the stuff of nightmares

9:11 Gotta say that’s a good sprite work right there chap.

Is it just me or is his voice perfect for a documantery?

This was my favorite game on my gameboy back in the day, it still holds up & the music has no business being SO GOOD, I still listen to certain songs from the soundtrack sometimes cuz they’re that good :,)

DK: King of Swing is a curious game to me. I've never been interested in playing it, but I like its presentation and variety of playable characters. Funky, Wrinkly, Kritter, and King K. Rool made their playable debut here. Don't quote me, but I believe that every character in Jungle Jam mode can change colors. Some look similar to the skins seen in Smash Bros.. Clu Clu Land is a game I played every once in a while on NES, but I'm not wowed by it. It was still kinda cool that Bubbles made an appearance here as a special unlock. This was quite entertaining, Goomba. I'm looking forward to your coverage on Jungle Climber.

Keep up the good work!

You know another underrated Donkey Kong game? Jungle Beat

my old man's favorite game

I do like it when they bring back an old game concept

I've always wanted to try this game out but I've always been distracted by something else before really looking into it. But this is motivation enough to go for it this time.

The return of the best goomba

Loved the 100% dedication he has for this game

It's a good life when the two RU-vidrs, gradeaundera and lonleygoomba are posting frequently now

Gotta say i love the sprite work of this game

The Lonely Gonna sure is getting into Monkey Business lately

A new Lonely Goomba, so soon? must be my Birthday... wait IT IS MY BIRTHDAY TODAY!!! lol this is a great coincidence!! still great vid as always

Once again, an amazing video, goomba never fails to disappoint

I loved this game. I remember playing it in 3rd grade w/ my friend we'd take turns, ahhh the memories...

I'm excited for the next one and his opinion on the final boss as it's unique for donkey Kong games

I had this game growing up. I loved it.

Can't wait for jungle climber. I liked it even though it was a bit hard and frustrating sometimes.

12:34 To be fair, my way to beat the race part on K.Krool on the final level, was to use the 20 banana invencibillity ability to increase DK's speed. It looks like the devs couldn't understand if this was the intended way back or not....😅
