The hype is pretty high for Godzilla Vs. Kong after the release of the first trailer for the film, and a Nintendo fan has taken the opportunity to re-imagine the upcoming battle with a couple of company characters. Artist @ TinaFate1 on Twitter shared an amazing coincidence between a different dinosaur and ape: Bowser and Donkey Kong. The characters seem to fit pretty well for the two monsters, though it looks like their conflict will cause a little less destruction than the battle between Kong and Godzilla. This is because, rather than a city, the backdrop to this titanic combat is the Battlefield stage of the Super Smash Bros. franchise.

The decision to use Donkey Kong in this role is very appropriate, given the story 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 sue Nintendo in 1984. However, Nintendo was able to successfully demonstrate that the King Kong character actually existed in the public domain and the company won the demand, as a result.
Since those early days, Donkey Kong has strayed heavily from its King Kong-inspired roots, though it remains one of Nintendo’s greatest characters. Despite starting as Mario’s rival, the character ended up becoming a full-fledged hero, starring in the popular Donkey Kong Country series. Of course, Bowser took on the role of Mario’s greatest enemy with the release of Super Mario Bros. in 1985. Ironically, Bowser’s next role will see how the character grows to Kaiju’s size. Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury. In this game, players will be able to take part in a massive battle between Bowser and a giant version of Mario. Unfortunately, there are no Donkey Kong on the site.
With Godzilla Vs. Kong which will be released in a few months, it’s not hard to imagine that the film will inspire a lot of additional artwork like the one made by @TinaFate1.
