Super Mario Bros. The Movie replaced Donkey Kong and it seems that nobody noticed

Super Mario Bros. The Movie it’s a reference fest, so fans are rushing to the theater to see it again to catch all its amazing nods to the classic world of Nintendo. Thanks to this we now know that Nintendo replaced Donkey Kong in a part of the movie without anyone noticing.

But, doesn’t Donkey Kong appear like nothing in the Kingdom of Kongs? Yes and that is precisely why Nintendo and Illumination felt they had to move it elsewhere in Super Mario Bros. The Movie. If you remember, in one of the first scenes we can see the brothers in a pizzeria called Punch-Out! and are accompanied by several people.

In a corner of the pizzeria we can see an arcade machine called jump manwhich is a clear reference to the classic arcade donkey kong. Since the charismatic gorilla appears as part of the Mushroom Kingdom, Nintendo had to remove him from the arcade and have his place taken by a yeti.

Don’t you believe us? We leave you the evidence below:

As Twitter users have pointed outperhaps this means that in the universe of Super Mario Bros. The Movie there would be a game called Super Jump Man and another titled Yeti Country. Could it be that we will see winks like this in future installments? We’ll have to wait to find out.

Would this imply that in the Mario movie universe, Jump Man would get his own series called Super Jump Man with the Yeti getting his own spinoff series called Yeti Country?
