The film made it clear that <strong>the Mushroom Kingdom is much more than an occasional fantasy world<\/strong>; it&#8217;s a universe full of possibilities, and it&#8217;s evident they are going to explore it to the fullest. And that means we will likely have more series and movies based on this universe\u2026 but what would be the ideal one?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Super Mario Bros.

While many others have potential, from Toad to Yoshi \u2014 the latter seems to be a major focus in the sequel \u2014 none compare to Donkey Kong in this regard. The character didn&#8217;t come alone but brought with him a world filled with others of his kind that complements him perfectly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The segment where Mario visits Donkey Kong&#8217;s village is one of the best parts of the movie<\/strong>, and it also opens up other aspects such as the introduction of Mario Kart with a spectacular race. This, coupled with charismatic characters like Diddy Kong or Cranky Kong, makes Nintendo&#8217;s good-hearted gorilla a strong contender for his own show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/10\/donkey-kong-2-1024x576-1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-252204\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/10\/donkey-kong-2-1024x576-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/10\/donkey-kong-2-1024x576-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/10\/donkey-kong-2-1024x576-1-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/10\/donkey-kong-2-1024x576-1-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/10\/donkey-kong-2-1024x576-1-664x374.jpg 664w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/10\/donkey-kong-2-1024x576-1-238x134.jpg 238w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/10\/donkey-kong-2-1024x576-1-436x246.jpg 436w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/10\/donkey-kong-2-1024x576-1-370x208.jpg 370w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/10\/donkey-kong-2-1024x576-1-304x170.jpg 304w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/10\/donkey-kong-2-1024x576-1-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/10\/donkey-kong-2-1024x576-1.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether it&#8217;s by telling Donkey Kong&#8217;s story <strong>through flashbacks or picking up from where we left off in the series<\/strong>, the character undoubtedly has great potential to succeed, just like Mario. In the end, if he has done it in video games, there&#8217;s no reason he can&#8217;t do it in a spin-off movie or, as I believe would be preferable, a series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Super Mario Bros. continues to be one of the biggest hits of 2023, only surpassed by Barbie in terms of box office earnings.
