It’s no secret that Chicagoland Melee has a thing for Donkey Kong. DK is featured in our Twitch emotes, our tournaments, and yes, our hearts. But why is that? As a newer member of the community, I set out to discover this over the past two months. The results of my research can be found below in this Youtube video! It’s a donukumentary of sorts.
The response has been awesome, with some noting that there is in fact a deeper chronology of DK in Chicagoland that goes beyond the scope of this video.
Anyone who is able to help me understand that should reach out to me! My email is [email protected]. You can also DM me on twitter. I am hoping to do a follow up video in due time.
